[00:09.20]What should I do?
[00:11.94]At Debbie's school,students can write to the teacher counsellor
[00:18.89]about their problems as well as speak to her.
[00:23.93]Here are extracts from three letters she received recently.
[00:30.38]1 One evening last month,
[00:36.02]I was visiting a close friend in her new high rise flat
[00:42.19]when she accidentally knocked a flower pot from her window.
[00:48.74]It smashed on the ground below,narrowly missing some children at play.
[00:56.11]However,we could see that no one was hurt,
[01:01.07]so we said nothing and left for the movies as planned.
[01:07.03]Returning home later that evening,
[01:11.39]my friend learned that the police had been to the flats
[01:17.17]and questioned all the tenants present.
[01:21.82]They had even taken the son of one tenant to the police station.
[01:28.35]After questioning him,they let him go temporarily.
[01:34.51]Frightened of losing her job in the civil service,
[01:39.94]my friend has said nothing to the police.
[01:44.49]Although no one was injured,I have a guilty conscience and ...
[01:51.57]2 Late last night,while traveling home by train.
[01:59.12]I saw three tough guys enter my almost empty carriage.
[02:06.77]Sitting down beside a young boy who was travelling alone,
[02:13.85]they began to tease and bully him.
[02:18.89]Their behaviour was so bad that it made him move to another seat.
[02:27.15]That did no good.
[02:30.60]They just followed him and continued their bullying.
[02:36.47]The boy was obviously frightened.
[02:41.15]At this point,I got off at my station and walked home,
[02:47.99]feeling sorry for the boy.
[02:52.15]I wanted to help him,
[02:55.80]but not being Superman and hating violence,what could I do?Should I...?
[03:06.25]3 The check out assistant at my usual supermarket is always rude and unhelpful.
[03:18.32]When I gave her a five-hundred dollar note to pay for an eight dollar purchase,
[03:27.99]she was so busy grumbling
[03:32.45]that she accidentally gave me an extra hundred-dollar note in my change.
[03:42.30]On discovering the error,I went back to tell her about it.
[03:50.56]'Excuse me,'I said.
[03:54.32]But before I could continue,she barked,
[04:00.27]'Can't you see there's a queue?Go to the end and wait your turn.'
[04:07.72]That did it!I left the shop with the hundred dollars and a clear conscience.
[04:17.28]I had done my best,before leaving,to correct the error. But ...

[04:43.95]and decide which expert is the best one for each caller.
[04:50.72]Write the expert's line number next to the caller.
[04:57.09]The first one is done for you.Now,here is caller A.
[05:05.35]Hello!I'm calling because I've just lost my job,and I don't know what to do.

[05:22.38]Caller B
[05:25.43]I'm calling because I'd like some advice about my cat.
[05:32.09]She seems to be losing all the fur of her ears.
[05:38.44]She scratches herself a lot.
[05:42.60]So I'd like some advice about how to look after my pet.
[05:49.75]Caller C

[06:45.50]I think the engine is broken.
[06:50.04]I went to the garage and asked for my money back,but they refused.
