Read a letter to an advice column of a teen magazine. Complete it with the correct form of the verbs in parentheses. I (long) to be skinny and I am really unhappy with the way I look. I am 16, and each time I (check) my weight, I (see) that I have a healthy BMI (body mass index) and that my body weight is ideal. I know this is good news, but it (not/make) me feel better: I (work out) three or four times a week, I (eat) a very healthy diet and I (not/drink) soda. I rarely have take-aways and try hard to make myself feel good. When I get dressed, I try to cover my tummy as it (not/be) as flat as it used to be. My bottom and my thighs (seem) quite big. My mom (say) it is just all part of growing up, which still (not/make) me feel any better either. Quite often I feel sick because I (not/eat) enough. When I go out, I never think I look as good as I should. I know it (sound) stupid and I have lots of reasons to be happy, but as much as I really try, I (not/can) see the point. I feel like I never (have) the image of myself that I have in my head. How can I change my body or the way I feel about it?
