Listen to the text and decide which facts in your workbook are true, false or not stated.0:05
Sometimes writers of books for teenagers get letters from their fan readers.0:11
Young people write about their problems.0:16
Here is one of the letters addressed to a Dear Judy, I have two problems that I hope you can help me with.0:18
My first problem is I just can't seem to do anything right.0:25
I can't write a poem or draw or even sing right.0:30
The reason I say is because my sister can do all of that.0:34
She was a brilliant pupil, too.0:39
She just left the school that I'm now in.0:41
All the teachers there thought I would be just like her.0:43
I wasn't like her, and so they were disappointed.0:48
They treated me differently before they found out that I wasn't great like my sister.0:52
My second problem is pop music.0:57
When I hear some of it around these days, I can't help wondering how some people can listen to it.1:00
However, this is not the thing that bothers me.1:05
People are perfectly free to listen to pop music if they wish, as long as they don't force other people to listen to it too.1:08
I am one of the few people who can't stand pop music, but whenever I walk into a shop, it's the first thing I hear.1:15
In record shops, only a very small space is given to classical music.1:22
Whenever any tapes or CDs are on special offer, it's always pop music or jazz.1:27
Hardly ever classical music.1:32
I realize I'm in a minority, and I don't expect shops to play classical music all the time, or record shops to devote all their shelves to classical music, but I wonder how pop music fans would feel if the1:34
only thing they ever heard anywhere was classical music.1:46
