Thank you for your letter which I received last week. I was glad to hear from you. You said you (1. see) John recently, but you didn't say how he (2. be). Please let me know and give him my regard.

You said you (8. come) to see me this Christmas. I hope you (9. not change) your mind. Let me (10. know) what date you are thinking of arriving. 

an interview  with Marcia Clark

can i ask you a few questions?

sure you can

what do you do?

i write Teen trouble. i answer letters from teebagers and make suggestions

how do teens contact you?

ok most of the letters are e-mails

Teenagers e-mail the magazine, then the magazine sends the e-mails me. i read about 50 e-mails every day. i choose a few very interesting letters for the magazine

can we see the e-mails?

Absolutely not! teenagers share serious problems with me. sometimes they are secret.You can read the letters that we put in the magazine,but you can't read the others

what about telling us about the main problems teens write about?

that's a good idea. a lot of teens ask for permission to do things:"can i get a tattoo?","can dye my hair blue?"their parents say "no" , so they ask me.but i can't say"i'll think about it" or "sorry,you can't". that isn't  my job! So i say "what about talking to your parents?" or " why don't you wait and think about it?"

i make suggestions

thank you for talking with us

you're welcomel

answer the questions

1 why can't you read all of the letters?

3 what two examples of suggestions does Marcia give?
