Lesson 6

Reading

1. Dalia's friend Riham has written an email to her friends with suggestions about how to help Dalia. Put her email in the correct order.

Hi friends,

a. So, first of all, it would be a good idea to talk to Dalia. She must tellus her feelings.Then we will know how best to support her. 2

b. Finally, I think weshould tell her that we are proud to have her as a friend. We should help her with her school work and also take her out so she can relax after school.

This will make her feel better. Do you allagree? Email and let me know. 4

c. I want to write about Dalia. I will start by saying we must do something. If we do nothing, Dalia will continue to feell onely and upset. This will not help her. 1

d. Secondly, why don’t we talk to her teacher? I think it will be difficult to talk to her parents, but the teacher can tell them that Dalia is worried about her brother. I think this might help. 3

Best wishes, Riham
