Listen and read the letters and find out what kind of problems Ben has and who he turns to for help
Ben believe one of his teammates let down the whole team and told it to his best friend. But then his friend told everyone else what Ben had said. Now Ben is at a loss for what to do, and he turns to Agony Aunt for help.
Dear Agony Aunt,
1 I’m in a total mess here – hope you can help me out!
2 I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I’m crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said.
3 This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry with my friend – what should I say to him
And should I say anything at all to my teammate
4 Embarrassed and ashamed, I can’t concentrate on anything. Please help!
Ben
Dear Ben,
1 There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
2 The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. Treated this way, you’re sure to feel hurt – we should always be able to trust those closest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we can’t.
3 But I have to say that it’s partly your fault, isn’t it You admit that you were “letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always think before we speak.
4 Here’s what you need to do. First, apologise to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games (and I’m sure you do!), you need to work together, and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
5 Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon be repaired.
6 Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! Filled with anger, you tend to say whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight, then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
7 If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own, you’ll soon find everything works out.
8 Good luck!
Agony Aunt

What is your understanding of the saying “Loose lips sink ships”
Something “loose” moves easily. So, loose lips move freely and release a lot of words — most likely in a careless way. If you speak carelessly (that’s the “loose lips” part) about private or sensitive information, someone could hear and use it to damage or ruin something important (a “sinking ship” is pretty bad).
The message: Be careful when you speak. Watch what you say.

言多必失
Talks much errs much.
祸从口出
Careless talk leads to trouble.
闭嘴少说，张眼多看
Shut the mouth and open the eyes.
