LIFE'S CHALLENGES

Before you do this task, think about the following ideas for a bit and discuss them with your teacher and friends...
 
"There are two primary choices in life:  to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."
Denis Waitley
"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. "
Ben Stein
 
Now, put yourself into the shoes of your parent of teacher and decide which advice you would give in the following situations:
 
1. Peter's friend Janet is hiding a terrible truth from her parents. Peter knows it's a secret, but he really feels as if something horrible is going to happen unless Janet's parents realise the trouble she's in. What should Peter do?
2. Mary has a new boy in class. He keeps to himself, has lots of problems studying, doesn't make friends at all, and even falls asleep during the lessons. She accidentally finds out he's really poor, has a big family, no room of his own, has a part-time job to help the family and is dyslexic. What should Mary do?
3. You are in trouble. Your friends are all travelling to an important world city and you really wish to go, but you know your parents can't afford it. What should you do?

 
For your next challenge, here are some words which you're supposed to match to their synonyms or explanations in English.
