Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework
Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.
Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.
Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.
Dad: So you're not going to do your homework now
Tony: No, it isn't necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.
Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.
Tony: Why not I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.
Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.
Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world
Dad: That's not the Point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.

Dear DianaDo you have a problem Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice.
Dear Diana,
Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad's computer. I was worried, because should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks something will go wrong if I play games on it.
Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important.
I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer repair shop can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer game Should I pay to repair it

Dear Steve,
Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.
You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!
Best wishes,
Diana
