Dear Aunt Tara,
I have a problem with my homework. We have to do It in a group. It has to be finished this Friday, but Gary, the boy in our group, has done nothing helpful. He just keeps causing trouble. Every time we talk about the work with him, he always says, “Don’t worry. I’ll do it later.” But he seldom does his job. And when he does, he does it the wrong way. Someone has to do it for him again. What’s worse is when Ms. Lin asks about our group, Gary always tells her that we others don’t work hard enough. I’m really mad at Gary about this. We’re in the same group. Shouldn’t we help each other to do a better job?

Kate

Dear Kate:

It is important for students to learn how to work together in a group. Maybe you should talk to Gary about the problem and tell him you all need his help. If he still doesn’t change, go talk to your teacher. I believe she can make Gary do his job.

Aunt Tara

Making a good speech in public is a big challenge for most people, but there are some basic rules you can follow.
First of all, you need to know what kind of audience you have. Maybe they are a friendly audience who knows you already, or maybe they are strangers you need to get acquainted with.
Next, the topic of your speech needs to be something you know a lot about. If you are a fashion designer, for example, you should not give medical advice. You had better talk about what styles are best for what kinds of body shapes.
Also, in your speech you will want to give your audience strong images that will linger in their minds after the speech is over.
Finally, don’t make your speech too long. Nobody wants to go hungry or go to bed late because of a long speech.
