Dear miss Lingva!
Give me some advice, please! I am in the 10th
form. My problem is great. I want to be a fairy. I
would like to fly and help people. But my mother
doesn’t allow me to be a fairy. She wants me
to be a serious and choose a profession. Why
is a fairy not to be a profession? Kupryakhina

Dear miss Lingva!
I have a problem. I’m in love with a girl of our
grade. But she doesn’t draw attention to me. I
would like her to know about my love. I try to
help her with everything. What can I do? I am
depressed. Help me. Molchanov Dima

very serious problem. If she really likes you
then you need to speak to her. Don’t be shy!
My advice; Be courageous! You can present
flowers to her. I’m sure, she will be thrilled.
Dear miss Lingva!
I am in the 7th grade. I spend a lot of time on
the computer. I often chat with my friends
after school, and as a result I don’t have time to
do my homework. How can I spend my time
with benefits? Give me some advice. Burdina

«Nowadays teenagers spend a lot of time
on the computer communicating using
different social networking sites. Some
people think that teenagers prefer virtual
friends rather than real ones. In my opinion,
friendship in real life better. Communication
between people is the most wonderful
thing in our lives. Spending a LOT of time on
the computer is bad. Spending 1-2 hours on
the computer in a day is okay. Spending 2-3
hours is pretty much okay, especially if you
need the computer urgently to do important
work, but spending more then 5 hours on
your computer is quite bad. It can ruin your
eyes and give you quite big eye-bags.
Exercise your eyes to reduce your risk of
computer eye strain. Do some relaxing eye
exercises like palming, thumb focusing
and scanning. These eye exercises can help
you to increase the flexibility of your eye’s
muscles and, lower computer eye strain
effectively. Blink often if your eyes are dry.
When staring at the monitor people would
tend to blink less frequently, this will cause
eye dry. Let me conclude by saying, not only
are computer games and chatting good for
education and development of you if you
use them properly; but also you have fun
with it while you are doing your duties. Meet
tour friends, help your mother about the
house, do your homework and read books!»
