Answer 1

Dear Diana

Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine, and ask for her advice.

Dear Diana,

Last week, my friend Da Wei brought a new computer game and asked to play it on my father's computer. But my father has warned me not to use his computer for playing games because he uses it for his job. I can only use it for my homework. He thinks that if I play games on it, it'll go wrong.

Well, my dad was out, so we decided to try Da Wei's game. We copied it onto the computer and when we finished, we took it off the computer. We made quite sure my father didn't notice anything.

But when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. The computer wasn't working because it had a virus!

But I didn't tell him about the computer game.

Now I feel terrible. It's going to be expensive to mend it. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I offer to pay?

Yours,

Steve

Dear Steve,

Oh dear! You've made two mistakes. First, you used your dad's computer when he told you not to. Second, you didn't tell him about the game. Yes, you must tell him immediately. If you tell him the truth, he'll be angry with you, but at least you'll prove how honest you are.

Then I think you should offer to pay. But you shouldn't use your pocket money—after all, your parents gave you that money. If you offer to do some jobs around the home, or maybe help him with his work, he'll realise that you're truly sorry.

Oh, and next time, play football with Da Wei!

Best wishes,

Diana
