4 Reading
A Read the text below.
Being a teenager
1
Everyone says that your schooldays are the best days of your life. When you are a teenager,
you certainly don’t believe that they might be. Homework, boring lessons, exams, more
homework, no time to do what you want ... the list goes on and on.
2
The teenage years can be very difficult for many young people as they move from
childhood to adulthood. They think they are old enough to make their own decisions. They
think they know better than their parents what they should be allowed to do. They want
to have independence. Why should they always tell their parents where they are going and
who they are with?
3
Parents have been teenagers too of course but sometimes it seems they have forgotten
what it’s like to want to stay out late, to go on holiday with friends, to have parties without
any adults being around. They often say that things were different when they were young
and that teenagers today have too much freedom.
4
But teenagers all over the world have the same problems and the same dreams, and they
always have had. It’s the time to try new things and to learn what is OK and what is not.
B Choose the most appropriate heading for each paragraph.
We’re all the same
B
Do they remember?
C
School isn’t so bad!
D
Teenagers vs. parents

7 Writing
You have just received this letter from your penfriend. Read it carefully.
Dear Jim,
I hope you’re well and enjoying your holidays! I was looking forward to my holidays
but now I’m not – everything has gone wrong. Honestly, my parents are impossible!!
First they said I could go away with Harry. We wanted to go camping by the sea with
some other friends. When my parents heard that we were going with girls, they said
I wasn’t allowed to go! Why??? What do they think we’re going to do?! So then we
changed our plans and decided to go to the mountains hiking for a week. Just me
and Harry and our tent – but no, they didn’t like that idea either.
So now, here I am, alone at home with nothing to do. Are your parents the same?!
What are you going to do for the summer?
Write soon.
Bill
Now write your reply. Offer sympathy and explain that your parents are the same. Tell Bill what
your parents let you do and what they don’t let you do. Explain that you have had to change
your holiday plans too and say what you’re going to do.
Dear Bill,
