Dear Janice,

　　　It's been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some problems. As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here. We've been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It's been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many money. And I started to see this as a time-wasting activity! In fact, I don't like to go anymore, so I'm afraid I'll lose their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me, would you talk to him?

　　　Please help with me and give me some advice.

　　　Yours,

Grace
