American Teenagers
Think of America. Do you think of money, success, and happy, healthy families? Or do you think of crime, TV, hamburgers, and The Simpsons? An American magazine recently interviewed a thousand 18-year-olds with some surprising results.
Money
The majority of 18-year-olds aren’t really interested in Rolexes or Raybans. The average American teenager doesn’t dream of work and money. They want to have work-free weekends - free time to enjoy the money they will earn. They don’t want big pay cheques in big jobs in big cities.
Family life
The majority of American teenagers come from families where both parents work full-time. Many parents go out and leave their children at home while they are working. Many teenagers feel that TV replaces their parents, and they say that they won’t make the same mistakes when they are older and have their own children.
Travel
Most American teenagers would like to travel. Unlike their parents who only toured Europe after they finished studying, this generation want to go to more exotic places. Many say they want to get away from western culture. According to 18-year-old Dawn Beaupit, “Everyone should travel and learn about different cultures. I’m going to Nepal this spring to find out how life there is different from life in the west.”
Answer the following questions by circling the word true or false in each number:
1. American teenagers are only worried about money and good jobs
True
False
2.They think that free time at the weekend isn’t important
True
False
3. Teenagers think that parents don’t spend enough time with their children.
True
False
4. American teenagers would only like to travel round Europe after they finish studying.
True
False
5. They think it’s important to find out about other cultures.
True
False
