Dear Diana,
Last week, we had a history exam at school but I didn’t study for it. I was really worried, because if I fail exams, my parents will get angry with me. In the exam, I was sitting next to Tom and I realised I could see his answers. So I copied them. I knew it was wrong to cheat, but I didn’t want to fail the exam.
Yesterday, when our teacher gave us our results, she gave Tom zero marks because she thought he had copied from me.
I’m worried that if I tell the teacher the truth, she’ll give me zero marks, and my parents will be very angry. What should I do Should I tell my parents first Should I tell the teacher
Work in pairs. Read each other’s problem letter. Suppose you are Diana and write a reply. Give your advice. (P 45)
Some useful sentences to express advice:
You should do…
You had better do…
It’s a good idea to do…
If you do…, you will…
I advise you to do…
You can/can’t do…

Dear××,
I’m afraid you’ve done something rather serious. Cheating is very bad by itself, but in this case it is worse because by cheating you caused Tom to fail his exam. I understand that you are afraid of making your parents angry, but you must remember that Tom has parents too!
I advise you to tell your teacher immediately, and tell your parents afterwards. You should also apologise sincerely and promise not to cheat ever again. You cannot avoid punishment, but you can try to regain the trust of your parents, your teacher and your classmates.
I know this piece of advice is difficult to accept, but you must be brave and do the right thing. You will feel much better in the long run.
Yours,
Diana
