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….
Best wishes,
Diana

Dear Frank,
I’m sorry that you broke the game controller. You should apologise to him first for breaking it. And you should also tell him that you didn’t do it on purpose.
Work in pairs. Suppose you are Diana and write a reply. Give your advice. (Activity 7)
If you tell him the truth and apologise, your friend will understand you. Then, you should repair the game controller because it is your fault. If you offer to repair it, your friend will realise that you are really sorry.
