JAMES

My name is James, I'm fourteen, and I moved to this town with my family three months ago. My parents
lived here when they were young, but my brother and I didn't know anyone here except a few aunts and
uncles we'd met when we spent a couple of weeks with my grandparents, during school holidays. When I
started school, one of my cousins, Sophie, who was in my class, was very friendly for the first week and I
was happy to have a friend in a strange place. Then, for no reason, she stopped talking to me and I felt very
hurt and lonely for several weeks.

In the end I made some more friends and since I got to know them, I've been fine. Now Sophie is having
a disco party for her birthday next week and she has invited me. I don't want to go. My brother says he heard
someone say she only asked me because her parents said she had to. But my mum and dad say it would be
rude not to accept. Some of my new friends are invited, too. How can I show Sophie that she can't behave
towards me without causing a family quarrel?

Question 1. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

Question 5. Which of these is an answer to the text?

A. Ask your friend to come with you and we'll have all time together

B. Why not go to the party and ask Sophie why she stopped being friendly? At least everyone will know
what's happening.

C. Please phone my parents and explain the situation to them, so that they'll stop worrying.
