Reading and Writing A

READING

1 Read the text. Tick () True or False.

Teenagers then and now

Karen Johnson is a bank manager. She’s 43, she’s married, she has a daughter and a son,
and she lives in a small town in the south of Scotland. But 25 years ago, she was an 18-
year-old teenager. It was the 1980s, and she lived in Manchester, England.

‘I hated being a teenager,’ says Karen. ‘Now, I look back, and I think, “Wow, what a fantastic
time I had!” but then it was terrible. I didn’t like my hair or my clothes. I thought my mum was
great, but I didn't think my dad was great. He 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 – Spandau Ballet and Adam and the Ants were my favourites. At the weekends, I
always went out to clubs with my friends and didn’t come home until two or three o'clock in
the morning.’

‘Today, a lot of people go to university when they finish school, but it was difficult when I
was young. My friends and I finished school at 18, and there weren’t any good jobs. I
worked in a shop for two years. I was 20 when I got a job in the bank, and I had to work
hard. I’m the manager now, but it wasn’t easy to get to this position – I went to night school
and did some extra courses.’

Olivia Johnson is Karen’s daughter. She’s a student, and she’s 18 next week. She lives in
Leith, a town near Edinburgh, Scotland, with some friends. Her parents and her brother live
in a house nearby.

‘I like being a teenager,’ says Olivia. ‘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 school, or I watch films at my boyfriend’s house. Sometimes
we go to a cinema on Saturday night. I usually wear comfortable clothes – T-shirts and
jeans, and I download a lot of music from the internet.’

‘I study German at school, but I’m going to study Chinese at university next year. I love
languages, and I want to work in different countries.’
