Teenagers then and now

Jill Davies is an accountant. She’s 43, she’s married, she has two children, and she
lives in a small town in the northeastern United States. But 25 years ago she was an
18-year-old teenager. It was the 1980s, and she lived in Los Angeles, California.
“I hated being a teenager,” says Jill. “Now, I look back, and I think, ‘Wow, what a
fantastic time!’ but then it was terrible. I didn’t like my hair or my clothes. I thought
my dad was great, but I didn’t like my mom. She 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 – Duran Duran and Boy George were my
favorites – and on the weekend I went out to clubs and didn’t come home until two
or three in the morning.”
“Today, everybody goes to college when they finish high school, but when I was
young, this wasn’t true. My friends and I finished school at 18, and there weren’t any
good jobs. I worked in a store for three years. I was 21 when I went to college and
studied to be an accountant.”
Emily Johnson is a student, and she’s going to be 18 next week. She lives in
Modesto, a town near San Francisco, California, with some friends. Her parents and
her younger brother live in a house nearby.
“I like being a teenager,” says Emily. “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 junior college, or I watch
DVDs at my boyfriend’s house. Sometimes we go to a movie theater on Saturday
night. I usually wear comfortable clothes – T-shirts and jeans, and I download a lot
of music from the Internet. I love listening to Adele and Coldplay. They’re really
cool.”
“I study Spanish in college, but I’m going to take Chinese next year. I love
languages, and I want to work in different countries.”

Example: Is Jill married? Yes  No

1 Does Jill live in a small town now? Yes No
2 Did Jill live in Los Angeles in the 1980s? Yes No
3 Did Jill like her hair and clothes when she was 18? Yes No
4 Did Jill like her mother? Yes No
5 Did Jill listen to music? Yes No
6 Does Jill work in a store now? Yes No
7 Does Emily live with her boyfriend? Yes No
8 Does Emily sometimes watch movies? Yes No
9 Does Emily like languages? Yes No
