III. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question (1 p).

My name's Mandi. Three months ago, I went to a disco where I met a boy called Tom. I

guessed he was older than me, but I liked him and thought it didn't matter. We danced a couple

of times, then we chatted. He said he was 18, then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I

thought that if I told him my real age, he wouldn't want to know me, as I'm only 13.

After the disco we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next Saturday we went

for a burger and had a real laugh. Afterwards he walked me to my street and kissed me

goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a couple of times a week, but I've had

to lie to my parents about where I'm going and who with. I've always got on with them, but I

know if they found out how old Tom was they'd stop me seeing him.

Now I really don't know what to do. I can't go on lying to my parents every time we go

out, and Tom keeps asking why he can't come round to my house. I'm really worried and I

need some advice.
