Test Nerves Does She Like Me? Love Triangle Good Marks, Bad Situation

 A    Dear Marnie,

    The other day, I got my exam results and I was overjoyed to find out that I passed with flying colours. But when I rang my friend to arrange a night to celebrate, I found out that she had done really badly. She’s really upset and doesn’t want to go out. It’s really awkward because I did so well, and I’m disappointed we can’t go out and paint the town red. What should I do to make her feel better?

    Karen

 B    Dear Marnie,

    Last week, this girl invited me out to the cinema.  I was really delighted because I really liked her.  We went out and had a really good time.  But yesterday, I saw her hanging out with her friends and I told her what a good time I’d had.  She made fun of me and said she didn’t know what I was talking about.  I felt really embarrassed, and now I’m really confused because I don’t know if she likes me or not.  What should I do?

     Kevin

C   Dear Marnie,

There’s a boy at our school who my friend and I have always really liked.  The problem is that last week he asked me out, and of course I said yes.  I’m really excited about it, but my friend is really annoyed.  I think she’s jealous.  Now she wants nothing to do with me any more.  What can I do to convince her that she’s still important to me?

    Jess

 D  Dear Marnie,

   We have to do presentations for a test next week, and I’m really worried about it.  The thing is, I get really nervous when I’m talking in front of people and I know I’m going to make a real mess of it.  The problem is, I’m usually a pretty good student at school, and my dad is going to be furious if I get bad marks.  What should I do?

    Andy

Lovers - Reading & Writing

                                                  LOVERS

Deborah and Gilbert are both finishing their last year of university. She will be a social worker and he will graduate in geophysics, specializing in oil exploration. They are in love, spend a lot of time together and had planned to be married soon after their graduation. Now, however, Gilbert can't get a job in Western Canada where they want to make their home.
Deborah has had an offer of a job in Vancouver that is well paid. Gilbert has only one job possibility and that is for a five year contract with a company in Saudi Arabia. Although it would be very well paid, he doesn't know if he wants to take it. Deborah couldn't work as a social worker there and she doesn't want to live in a culture that she believes discriminates against women.

John Lennon - Reading & Comprehension

__________________________

1        Imagine, John Lennon’s most famous song, was recently voted ‘Britain’s favourite song of all time’. It’s an idealistic song about peace and the hope for a better world. ‘Imagine all the people living life in peace’. The song was a big hit in 1971, and again in 1980 when Lennon was murdered in New York. It became a hit for a third time

5        after the terrorist attacks of September 11^th 2001.

But who really wrote the song? Until recently the answer to this question was always John Lennon. But on TV programme this week Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, spoke for the first time about how she, in fact, helped to write the song.

Ono said that the idea and inspiration for imagine came from some of her poems that

10    John Lennon was reading at that time. The poems began with the word ‘Imagine’: ‘Imagine a raindrop, Imagine a goldfish.’ Ono said, ‘When I was a child in Japan during the Second World War my brother and I were terribly hungry. I imagined delicious menus for him and he began to smile. If you think something is impossible, you can imagine it and make it happen.’

15    In an interview just before he died, Lennon admitted that Yoko deserved credit for Imagine. He said, ‘A lot of it – the lyrics and the concept – came from her, from her book of poems, imagine this, imagine that.’ Lennon said that he was ‘too macho’ to share the credit with her at the time.

Ono said that some of the song was written when they were flying across the Atlantic

20     and the rest was written on the piano in their bedroom at their home in England. Ono said, ‘The song speaks about John’s dream for the world. It was something he really wanted to say.’ Imagine became a popular song for peace activists everywhere.

In March 2002 the airport in his home town of Liverpool was re-named John Lennon Airport. A sign above the main entrance has a line from Imagine: ‘Above us only sky’.
