GIVING ADVICE

Dear Clear
If I were you, I wouldn't be too worried about this. Are you sure this guy is your friend? Obviously, you should talk to him as quickly as possible. You must speak relaxed to him and tell them that you are worried.
As for the texts, you must try not to hinik about him. Unfortunaltely, he is strange sometimes, and you have to live with it.

WRITING- a survivor's story

Last year I was traveling with my mother in Mexico. One day we were sundbathing on the beach.

Suddenly, I saw the people were running everywhere. I watched the sea and I saw a massive wave. It was a very big tsunami. I was frightened. When the wave hit us there was a lot of noise. The next moment there was panic. The people were shouting and the tsunami flooded the beach and the hotel. 

I searched my mother but I didn't find her. It was terrible experience.
