 - she got bad test grades
Suggestions to Problem 1:
 - she can ask for her parents to help her with revisions.
She may can’t be concentrated when she is alone
so she can get some help from her parents.
- she should ask her teachers questions when she doesn’t understand . When she still can’t understand the text clearly, she may got bad grades because of misunderstanding the text
- she may ask her friends for important points for the tests . Her friends got good grades in the test, so I think maybe they have special revision plans. She can go and ask them about it and try to carry out the plan.
She can also invite her friends to do revision with her together, to get better grades.
- she should pay more attention at class, teachers may talk about knowledge that are not in the books but will be tested .The poor grades are probably caused by her not concentrating.
- she can join some to tutorial class to improve her studying.
Even she has study hard, there are always been leftovers.
For this reason, she needs other people to help her remember those leftovers

Problem 2:
 - mum misunderstood her using much phone

Suggestions to Problem 2:
 - explain the situation to mum.
I think she will be so angry with you when she know the real situation.
You should also apologise to her because you get angry with your mom and shouted at her. That was really impolite.
- Study harder to let mum know you can still get good grades with your phone. You have lost her trust in you so you are going to gain it back using your hard work .
- you should see things from her point of view and understand that she wants to remind you not to use too much phone.
I think she is really worried about you so that she yells at you.
-you should talk to mum with your problems.
Quarrels are easily cause because of misunderstandings

Problem 3:
 - Sammy needs her phone to get help with her homework 

Suggestion to Problem 3:
 - she can ask her teachers for her homework problems.
It is better than asking her friends for it.
Sometimes Sammy’s friends maybe wrong and she could memorise the wrong answer and indirectly caused her poor grades

- [Reflection - why mum has such an impression on Sammy? Misunderstood - why ?] Sammy can think about herself why her mum would say that is it only because her mum do not really know her. Her mum does not understand? Or it is because Sammy always plays with her phone but she does not really know? It is good to reflect on herself 

- She says that she does not know the homework so she use her phone to ask from the classmate. I think she can ask from her parents. Asking from parents are more better than using phone to ask from classmates because your parents can add more other ledge for you. You can improve your mind and also improve the relationship of your parents
