2. Let’s ask Daphne.
Dear Daphne,
I’m not doing well in social studies. My teacher talks really fast in class, and I can’t
understand everything he says. I’d rather not / I don’t have to ask questions in class
because I don’t want the other kids to make fun of me. But I’d rather / I’ve got to do
something because I have a test next week. I don’t want to fail it. What should I do?
Miguel
Dear Miguel,
You’d better not / You are going to have to talk to your teacher. He Probably doesn’t
even. Realize you’re having a problem. You’d better / You’d rather not make an
appointment with him as soon as possible! Good luck!
Daphne
Dear Daphne,
I have a part-time job after school, and so far, I’ve earned about $2,000. My parents
think I’d better not / I ought TO save it for college because I’ll need it then. I disagree
with them. I ought to / I’d rather buy a car with the money. It’s my money, and I want
to enjoy it, so I think I can do what I want with it. What do you think?
Risa
Dear Risa,
You’d rather / You’d better listen to your parents because college is expensive. It’s
smart to save money for your education. Plus, I’m sure you’ll want to have fun once
you’re in college, and that requires money. So, you might want to / you don’t have to
put money aside for living expenses. Everything costs a lot these days! Good
luck!
