To get a general idea of a book or an article, we should ask some basic questions. If we predict the answers that the questions might have, it will help us find the answers more quickly and easily when we read in detail.
Tip:
If a question begins with when, then the answer will be a time or date.
If a question begins with why, then the answer will give a reason, often beginning with because.
Millie is reading an article in Teenagers magazine. March her questions with your predicted answers. Write the correct letter in each blank.

If you don't care what's happening in your friends' lives, your friends might not keep you around.
