Question: Hoa is my only friend at school. She’s also the only person I completely trust. Two weeks ago, I told her! was very unhappy and lonely, and that I even wanted to drop out of school. She promised not to tell anyone ... but then she told our teacher about it. We had an argument and | stopped talking to her. Was I right? Counsellor: Dear Ha, I understand your feelings. But think of it this way: maybe Hoa was really afraid that you'd drop out of school. She didn’t know what to do to help you. I'm sure she just wanted to help you in her own way, even if it's not the way that you wanted. Try to reconcile with Hoa, talk to her about it, and I hope you'll be good friends again. Question: In my class, the girls are on good terms with all the boys, except me. The girls just don’t even notice me, and the boys make jokes about it. I think that’s because I’m short and fat, and girls don't find me attractive. I feel very lonely. Please help me. Counsellor: Well, don't worry too much. Everyone has qualities that make them attractive to other people. A person's true value does not lie in his appearance, but in his achievements and contributions to the community. I don’t think it's your physical appearance that makes the girls stay away from you. If you study hard and become an excellent student, girls may notice you and ask you for help. Meanwhile, you should try building up friendships. Take the initiative and engage your classmates in friendly conversations. Ask them questions to find out what they like to talk about — a song, a film or something else — and then discuss that topic. I hope that will help. |

5) If you were the counsellor in charge of the advice column, what would you advise Ha and Nani to do? Discuss with a partner.
ĐÁP ÁN:
If I were the counsellor, I would assess Ha's dilemma and give her the following advice: Despite the fact that Hoa broke her pledge and informed their teacher about the problem, it's possible that Hoa was truly terrified of dropping out and doing something harmful. She did it because she wanted to help Ha and she didn't know how else to handle the situation. I believe Ha should think more clearly and seek reconciliation with Hoa. The two people should rekindle their friendship.
In terms of Nam's problem, I don't think Nam should be too concerned. Everyone has unique characteristics that make them appealing to others. The genuine worth of a person is determined by his accomplishments and contributions to the community, not by his appearance. Nam needs to think positively about himself. He should concentrate on his studies and strive to be a good student so that girls will notice him. In the meantime, he should work on forming acquaintances and learning how to strike up a polite chat with his classmates.
