Building a Better Relationship
It’s Phoebe’s first year at senior high. She was upset about a problem with a friend at school, so she sent a message to Cora. Cora is an influencer, and she often shares her ideas and helps people solve problems on her vlog. She reads out Phoebe’s problem and gives her some advice on building a better relationship.

1. Why is the blue text in the present simple? I assume that that’s because the adivce is on the vlog (so it’s there at any time).
2. But how about the past simple or the present perfect?
