Fifteen-year-old Jade talks about the problems she is experiencing.

My name is Jade, I’m fifteen and an only child living with my parents in
Porchester. I’ve always got on well with them and I’ve always felt happy at home.
Last autumn my cousin Bettina came to live our house. She’s nineteen, and
very pretty and funny. She’s staying with us while she’s a student at the university
in
Porchester. At first, I was very pleased to have another teenager in our
house, because most of my friends don’t live near me, but recently my feelings
have changed.
I have lots of homework because I’m studying for school exams, but I have
to clean my room and help with the washing-up. Bettina doesn’t have exams this
year so she doesn’t have to work so hard. She has more money than me. She earns
a bit because my dad helped her get a part-time job, and because it’s at the local
leisure centre she doesn’t pay the full price for tickets to see films there or go
bowling with her friends. And although she doesn’t pay rent to my parents they
don’t make her help in the house like I have to.
When I mentioned this to my parents they reminded me that we have to be
kind to Bettina because her dad hasn’t been well for a long time. I agree with that
but there is a problem: I know Bettina tells lies to my parents. Last week, she told
my dad that she was going to the library but she went to meet her boyfriend. Two
days ago she asked my mum to lend her some money. She said she needed to buy
some books, but I think she spent it all on CDs.
I asked my parents if they knew what she had done, but they didn’t believe
me. They said I was jealous of her and refused to listen to me. I’d like to know
what I should do now.

B She gets cheap tickets because of it.
C She hasn’t told Jade’s parents about it.
D She works when she should be studying.

4. Jade’s parents asked her to remember

A that Bettina’s family has problems.

B that she isn’t as old as Bettina.
C that Bettina has many responsibilities.
D that Jade’s father is ill.

5. Which of these things did Jade say to her parents?

A I want to get a job so that I can earn money like Bettina.

B It’s not fair that I have to help in the house and Bettina doesn’t.
C Bettina’s father should pay you more for her accommodation.
D Bettina gets cheap cinema tickets her friends but not for me.
