Unit 4 Being a teenager Audio sepis no mergesic.0:00
You will hear five people speaking.0:05
Match what they say with the statements in your workbook.0:08
There is one statement you don't have to use.0:11
Speaker 1 After eight hours of high school, I want to have some fun.0:14
Of course I spend a lot of my free time hanging out with my friends.0:19
I do freestyle rapping and and produced music.0:25
I've actually made several hip hop songs myself before all the music.0:28
I did work for quite some time at a shop but the pay wasn't very good and was hard work.0:32
Speaker 2 I truly believe I know what makes me happy and I'm not going to ignore it.0:40
Life should be an adventure.0:46
Every summer I prefer to work as a beach lifeguard.0:48
I'm sure it's a proper job.0:51
One day I may be the person who saved somebody's life.0:53
Isn't that proper enough?0:56
But I'm often asked where I see myself going and when I'm going to get a really proper job.0:58
Speaker 3 I know I'm a bit obsessed with buying.1:05
My friends call me a shopaholic.1:09
I've got two part time jobs to earn cash.1:11
I update my dad's website and I work on a golf course.1:14
I would like to buy the latest laptop or digital camera or or an ipod, but at the moment I can't afford them.1:18
When I don't do shopping, I am permanently in chat rooms and play with real people, but I never meet up with them because I don't know who they are.1:25
I am really careful about that.1:33
Speaker 4 these days every one in five teens is overweight or obese.1:36
Teenagers eat little fruit, not many vegetables, and young girls usually take less than half an hour's exercise a day.1:43
Personally, I don't do any exercise apart from my weekly 45 minute PE lesson.1:51
I walk to school though and I don't feel unfit.1:57
Many of my friends are on a diet and try to eat very little, but some eat anything they can get their hands on.2:00
Speaker 5 In my view, teenager years is the most difficult time in our lives.2:10
Everybody understands that secondary education is a necessary thing to get.2:16
In a way, it is a good preparation for our working life.2:21
But all pupils are so stressed out with their classes and exams.2:24
We often feel tired, anxious and nervous.2:28
It is surprising we are not yet crazy.2:31
It seems we are never in control of our lives and the only thing that drives us is fear of exams and future paths.2:34
