If this is an original writing and not from a story shared in class the content is far more important than the grammar.She should be asked about it and ascertain if she needs some help regarding her friend or herself. I thought it was a writing from a textbook story, so thank you , Janet for reminding us to look carefully and remember what communication is really about!
