..1..
, remember that Mike Wilson's back in school today, after a second ..2.. on his leg. I hope it will be
more successful than the first, but he will still need our help. So, shall we
get all those bags off the floor? And put your coats over the ..3.. of your chairs, because we don't
want anybody to ..4.. over them,
do we? Right, I'll fetch the ..5..
for the start of this morning's lesson. I won't be long.

I'm so pleased you're back, Mikey! Will you
be able to sit at your desk?

Of course he can, he's not that bad.

Ah, Mike, nice to see you again! Now class,
in last week's ..11.. lesson, we
talked about why so many young girls run away from home and ..12.. in women's refuges. We then
looked at the ..13.. question of
teenage ..14.. . Can anybody tell
Mike what the latest ..15..
showed? Yes? Darren?

Well, I ..19.. that opinion, because Personal and Social Education is on
the school curriculum and this is an important ..20.. . Britain
has the highest teenage pregnancy ..21..
in ..22.. Europe.
These teenagers need lots of ..23..
from their friends, their brothers and sisters, or there will be family
breakdown. Er, you look ..24.. ,
Mike. Are you feeling all right? OK. Now, Darren, you are allowed to leave
the class but … not so fast … I was planning to show you a few ..25.. from a very ..26.. film. The ..27.. of the film is Juno. Has anybody in the class already
seen it? No, well Juno is a teenager who gets ..28... She thinks about ..29..
but her family is very supportive. In the end she has the baby who is then ..30.. .

Lesson 23 Heart to heart
Dear
Namil
|
|
I am
writing to you to describe myself and my life here in Pakistan. I
am not yet 35 years old. I have lived in Rawalpindi all my life. Our families are ..1.. and your parents have told me
that you can understand the old customs.
|
1 familie van, verwant
|
You may
be worried that you won't be able to finish your ..2.. when you leave your country. My advice is that you should
continue with your ..3.. after we
are ..4.. , because I know you are
very young. When you come to live in Rawalpindi,
you will be able to go to the famous Fatima Jinnah Women's University. The
FJWU has an excellent ..5.. in
English that you can do.

You will
certainly be ..6.. that life with
me in Pakistan
will be strange and ..7.. for you.
I can understand this, but I think you will find that we have more in ..8.. than you suppose. I am sure you
will miss your friends' ..9.. at
first, but I have younger sisters who will ..10.. you to other women.

Dear
Hussein
|
|
Thank you
for your letter. I must ..17.. I
was surprised and ..18.. to hear
that my parents wanted me to marry you. I couldn't believe my ears. I am only
sixteen years old and I haven't thought about marriage yet. I cannot ..19.. marrying anybody, especially not
somebody I've never met.

My
parents have ..20.. me as a Muslim
girl, and I try to understand the customs and traditions that they believe
in. At the same time, I have a ..21.. ..22.. of friends, boys and girls that I meet at school or chat to
on Facebook. I feel ..23.. between
those two worlds, because my English friends are allowed more ..24.. than me. When I heard about you,
I was even more ..25.. .

I'm sorry

I'm sure your sisters' ..26..

I'd miss my own friends and family too much. Your university sounds very
good, but I don't want to ..28.. anywhere that's women only.

that I can stay in England
if I want.
