Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D. My problem
My name’s 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 in 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.
