READING
1 Read the text and check (✓) Yes or No.
Teenagers then and nowJill Davies is an accountant. She’s 43, she’s married, she has two children, and she lives in a small town in the northeastern United States. But 25 years ago she was an 18-year-old teenager. It was the 1980s, and she lived in Los Angeles, California.
“I hated being a teenager,” says Jill. “Now, I look back, and I think, ‘Wow, what a fantastic time!’ but then it was terrible. I didn’t like my hair or my clothes. I thought my dad was great, but I didn’t like my mom. She told me what to do all the time, but I never listened! I wanted to be cool, but I wasn’t. I didn’t have a boyfriend, and my clothes were terrible. I wore short skirts and tight jeans and a lot of make-up. I listened to New Romantic pop music – Duran Duran and Boy George were my favorites – and on the weekend I went out to clubs and didn’t come home until two or three in the morning.”
“Today, everybody goes to college when they finish high school, but when I was young, this wasn’t true. My friends and I finished school at 18, and there weren’t any good jobs. I worked in a store for three years. I was 21 when I went to college and studied to be an accountant.”
Emily Johnson is a student, and she’s going to be 18 next week. She lives in Modesto, a town near San Francisco, California, with some friends. Her parents and her younger brother live in a house nearby.
“I like being a teenager,” says Emily. “I have good friends and a really nice boyfriend. I don’t go out very often, but I text my friends all the time or we chat online. On weekdays, I meet my friends in a café near my junior college, or I watch DVDs at my boyfriend’s house. Sometimes we go to a movie theater on Saturday night. I usually wear comfortable clothes – T-shirts and jeans, and I download a lot of music from the Internet. I love listening to Adele and Coldplay. They’re really cool.”
“I study Spanish in college, but I’m going to take Chinese next year. I love languages, and I want to work in different countries.”
Example: Is Jill married? Yes ■✓ No ■
1 Does Jill have any children? Yes ■ No ■2 Does Jill live in Los Angeles now? Yes ■ No ■3 Was Jill happy when she was 18? Yes ■ No ■4 Did Jill like her father? Yes ■ No ■5 Did Jill have a boyfriend? Yes ■ No ■6 Did Jill go to college? Yes ■ No ■7 Does Emily live with her parents? Yes ■ No ■
