Listen to an interview with a British teenager and answer the questions in your workbook.0:03
Hi Frank, thanks for coming.0:11
We would like to get a snapshot of teenage ridden and to see if it is more or less the same all over Europe.0:13
I'm ready to answer questions.0:20
Where are you from and how old are you?0:22
I'm 16 and I'm from Cardiff, the capital city of Wales.0:24
If yes, what kind of school is it?0:29
What do you think of it?0:31
I attend a secondary comprehensive school which I believe is fairly good and it prepares for our future life and work.0:33
Our teachers tell us we should get through our school days driven by a burning intellectual curiosity.0:40
Some of us follow the advice.0:46
But there are pupils who leave school with no qualifications.0:48
They say 300,000 teenagers of the country.0:52
What's the typical way of communication for you?0:56
I have a mobile phone.0:58
Practically all my friends have them.1:00
Then I regularly surf the net.1:01
My friends and me were happy to give out our email addresses on the Internet.1:04
But some of my schoolmates use the Internet mainly to help with their homework.1:08
What about your contact with parents?1:12
I trust my mom and dad more than my authority, but sometimes they can be difficult.1:14
I hate it when they try to talk to me when I'm in a bad mood.1:20
At times they treat me as a child and I'm certain they don't want me to grow up.1:23
But they're quite attentive to my opinions in most cases and my views seldom go unheard or unrecognized.1:28
In fact, I think my family is a strong unit and it's definitely my foundation.1:35
But I know that for many teens it's different.1:41
In a recent survey, 17 year old girls were asked what helped them feel confident, sure of themselves.1:44
They the results show that for many of them, their jeans, other clothes are more important than their friends.1:50
My friends are very important for me.1:58
At home I often shut the door of my room and talk to my friends on mobile.2:00
We usually listen to music together.2:04
We get most of our homework done at school and have a lot of time to hang out.2:06
