2. a) Read a letter from the teen help website. What problem does the girl have?

Molly Volley

Really bad at English class! Help!?

I am terribly bad at English (the class, not the language). I’m going to be in a school volleyball team next year, so I really need to have a good mark.

I don’t get it. Why am I so bad at it? I get really good marks in everything else, and I don’t even have to study for those subjects. I study for every test and do all my work for English, but I am just no good at it.

Just today I got my final tests back: 100 % (Science), 100 % (Literature), 96 % (Maths), 94 % (History) and 76 % (English).

My lowest overall mark is in English too.

I really need to know how I can get better at English. So how can I do that (without a tutor or spending money on something)?

Thanks!

b) Discuss in pairs. What should Molly Volley do to get better marks in English?

c) Read some piece of advice Molly got. Do you find any of the comments helpful?

1. I’d say, looking at your writing in this post, that your English is pretty good, and that you’ve nothing to worry about. After all, isn’t writing the most difficult part?

Practice speaking often, or try to be around people who speak English fluently — watch movies from the USA and see how much you can understand.

2. To say that you’re bad at English is too unclear. Do you have trouble with reading? If so, I recommend that you read at least an hour each day. If grammar is your problem, ask your teacher for help. Most teachers would be glad to stay after classes to help a student who really wants to learn. Also you can visit www.grammarbytes.com. You can ask help online.

More basic advice: do all of your homework and turn it in on time.

3. Don’t panic. A ‘C’ isn’t a terrible mark, so don’t worry about it too much.

d) Discuss in pairs. Are you an excellent pupil in English? What do you do to get good marks?

2. a) Прочитайте письмо с сайта помощи подросткам. Какая проблема у девушки?
