Unit 4　Problems and advice

Alice:Good afternoon,and welcome to Aunt Alice’s Answers.Today we have Ben calling from Sunny City.Hello,Ben.How can I help you?

Ben:Well,I’m feeling ashamed.Yesterday afternoon,I was travelling home on the underground after school.Three older boy students from a local high school got on the same train.They didn’t look very nice to me.

Alice:What happened then?

Ben:There was a young boy on the train.He was travelling alone.The students sat beside the boy and started to make jokes about him.The boy got up and moved to another seat,but they just followed him.The young boy looked really afraid.

Alice:So what did you do?

Ben:At that moment,the train reached my station,so I got off and walked home.Now I feel really ashamed of myself because I didn’t help the boy.What should I do when something like this happens next time?

Alice:I think you should tell the adults on the train what’s happening and ask them for help.You should make sure you’re safe before you try to help others.
