‘Watch out! I am a teenager – I am bad and dangerous. JBut, actually, teenagers do not flirt and fight all the time. You never say positive things about my generation. It’s not fair! In exams, we work very hard. And there are a lot of them! We’re not lazy. We work hard at school. We don’t go to parties all the time’. Charlie, 17Charlie, from Bristol, is a teenage blogger; he speaks for a generation of angry teenagers: they are angry because we are always criticising them.A recent report says teenagers don’t learn at school, they eat the wrong things, and they spend a lot of money on fashion and gadgets. What is the truth? Actually, these stereotypes are wrong: teenage crime is actually going down! Here are more comments from teenage bloggers.‘Some young people do bad things because they’ve got nothing to do. I was an angry young man. Now I am at Oxford University. I’m studying medicine’. Sam, 18

‘You’re wrong about us. A lot of teenagers help old people. It’s fantastic, but we never talk about it. I have a lot of hobbies; I play tennis, I go swimming and I am having guitar lessons. I don’t waste my time on the street but I often go shopping or go for coffee with friends.’ Sadhia, 17 ‘Sometimes, I go for a walk with friends or we go for a game of netball – but most of the time, I play the saxophone in the band at school. Do you really believe we are all punks and hoodies?’ Helena, 16‘I am studying for my exams. I want to be a lawyer. I read a lot every night but I also go to yoga classes – and I play the piano! So, I rarely watch TV. I just don’t have time!’ Jennifer, 17

Presentsimple

I often go dancing.

Where do you work?I work in a clothes shop. (this is permanent)

Presentcontinuous

I’m going dancing now.

Where are you working now?I’m working in a coffee shop. (for the moment)

We use the Present simple for routines/habits and permanent situations. We often use these adverbs and expressions: always, often, usually, sometimes, never, every day.

We use the Present continuous for things happening now/around now and temporary situations. We use these time expressions: now, at the moment, today.

WB p. 4

Past simple/Past continuous

We use the Past simple for a completed action in the past. I had a sandwich for lunch yesterday.

We use the Past continuous for a longer action in the past, often interrupted by a completed action in the Past simple. I was eating my sandwich when it started to rain.

A stolen child remembers…It was in the summer of 1949. I was five years

old. We lived in a small hut near Alice Springs.

We were very poor. One day, someone knocked

on the door. My mother didn’t answer it. They

knocked again. My father wasn’t at home

and my mother didn’t like opening the door to

strangers. But she opened it. There were three

men at the door. They talked with my mum. ‘My

husband is working in the fields now’ she said.

‘He comes home in the evening’.

The three men then entered the room. One of

them picked me up. My mother started to scream.

The man said: ‘Come with us. We’re having a

picnic in the park’. They put me into a car.

STUDY SKILLS Using a dictionaryA dictionary provides lots of information: it gives the meaning of a word, an example sentence and the pronunciation.

I started school. All the kids spoke English but I only spoke the Aboriginal language. But when I learned English, I was a good pupil. I missed my family but I made new friends.

I had black curly hair, but they combed my hair every day; they wanted to make it straight. I left school when I was 15. I worked on a farm. I never got married.

One day, when I was 35, there was a knock on the door and there was a strange woman there. She called me by my name. I didn’t know the woman. She said: ‘Patti, I’m your mother’. We both cried. Today, I am with my family again. We live in the small hut near Alice Springs. I am sad but I’m happy, too.

A group of teenage boys see a group of girls at the beach. The boys, or the girls, say something funny, they chat for a bit, and then they swap mobile numbers. The girl says something like: ‘OK, I’ll give you my mobile, but don’t give it to anyone else’. ‘No, I won’t’, promises the boy, ‘I’ll send you a message tonight’. The first text message usually arrives that evening. And then the fun begins.

Texting is great for teen romance. It’s not like talking on the phone; texting is good for shy kids because they can hide and it also gives slower writers time to write witty

replies. They can use abbreviations like ‘2mo’ (tomorrow), ‘gf ’ (girlfriend) and ‘bf ’ (boyfriend).

But some kids text at the wrong time, in the wrong place. For example, they

write and send messages during class, without taking their phone from their

pocket.

16-year-old John says: ‘During the last school holidays I texted my girlfriend all the time, I was a bit jealous.’

Julie, 15: ‘Me and my boyfriend argued, then broke up, all by text message. No, I won’t stop texting. I can’t live without it.’

Marianne, 16: ‘I don’t text when I brush my teeth or take a shower. I don’t text when I’m playing with my netball team – and I don’t text during lunch. I always text my parents when I stay out late.’

THE TEXT GENERATION

To sum up, there are good and bad sides to using mobiles but one thing is definitely true – technology will continue to change our lives.

In the past, when a boy liked a girl or a girl liked a boy, they had two choices: they talked and made a date or they phoned the person at home. Now things are different...

2Flash on GrammarThe future

willWe use will for spontaneous decisions, promises and predictions and it is often used with these expressions: I think/I don’t think, probably, perhaps, possibly.OK, I’ll give you my mobile.I promise I’ll call you tomorrow.You’ll probably enjoy the party.I don’t think Mario will lend me his bike.

Present simple futureWe use the Present simple for future programmes and timetables and it usually goes with these verbs: arrive, come, finish, go, leave, start.Filming starts at the end of next week.The boat leaves on Saturday at 9 o’clock.

Present continuousWe use the Present continuous to talk about arrangements in the future. I’m meeting Paul tomorrow night.

be going toWe use be going to to talk about future plans (but not arranged) and intentions, or to make predictions about the future based on present evidence.I’m going to see a football match. (I haven’t bought the tickets yet.) I’m going to finish the essay tomorrow. (I’ve almost finished it.)

A brief history of...mobile phonesToday, mobile phones are very common. However, thirty years ago, they were very unusual…

The Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system, in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, was the first automatic mobile system. NMT was an analogue mobile phone network, but it was very big – like a brick!

The ‘second generation’ (2G) mobile phone systems, in the 1990s in Finland, used digital not analogue transmission, so they were more efficient. SMS text messaging started with 2G mobiles in the 1990s. Soon SMS became a favourite with teenagers: ‘Will be late. CU @ 9.’ ‘That’s gr8. CU 2nite!’

The third generation of mobile phones are faster than 2G and include voice telephone and video calls. 3G is also different from 2G services because it can do more things: it takes photos, accesses the Internet, makes and shows video clips.

The fourth generation of mobile phone (4G) sends and receives calls over the Internet. This system provides better internet access, games and streamed multimedia.

STUDY SKILLSCombining sentences We use but for introducing a different idea.

Charlie is clever but he’s lazy.

We use although and however to express surprise or contrast. Although it was heavy, the first mobile was useful. It was an expensive phone; however, it was very popular.

We use so for saying something happens because of something else. It was her birthday so I texted her.

We use because when we give a reason for something. I bought a new mobile because I lost my old one.

STUDY SKILLSChecking and correcting errorsAlways check your composition. Look out for common Italian errors in English, for example:

Leaving out a subject pronoun: John is English; is a doctor.

Leaving out third singular person ‘s’: Mimi work every day.

Using present tense of ‘be’ with born instead of past: Bell is born in Scotland.

Confusing ‘at’ with ‘to’: He went at the supermarket.

Not using connectors: He gets up. He goes to work. He doesn’t make money.

2 Listen and read the text. Which of the above do the pupils do at Summer High?

Summer High: the school ‘where children don’t have to go to lessons’ or ‘the school with no rules’. But it’s not true: at Summer High kids have to obey

the rules, but they also make the rules. How? Teachers and pupils have a meeting and they all have one vote.

Kimoko from Japan is reading Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo because, for her homework, she is translating the novel from English into Japanese.

But she chose to do it. She didn’t have to do it. That’s the difference. That’s Summer High.At Summer High, there are 172 rules and punishments, for example: pupils don’t have to wear a

uniform, they can’t use mobile phones in class, there’s no

homework to do, and so on. They have to

do household tasks (for example, tidy the

classrooms or wash the dishes). And here are some of the punishments: pupils have to stay behind after school, do extra writing, apologise etc.

Summer High believes that we should let children take decisions and risks. Children shouldn’t just listen: they should ask questions, too. Summer High also believes pupils should do well at school because in this way they can be successful and happy.Max went to Summer High because he had problems at his old school: he had to take a lot of exams and was very stressed; he had to leave the school. ‘Summer High gave me a second chance’, says Max.‘Did you have to take any exams at Summer High?’ ‘Yes, I took English, maths and history.’‘Was all that freedom a good thing?’‘Yes, because it made me enjoy learning. I didn’t have to learn: I chose to!’

With translations of his poems into Italian, Spanish, German and many other languages, he is now one of Europe’s most popular poets. He often writes about childhood and love.

T

When I was at school, I had to take an exam.

We had to answer three questions.

The questions looked really simple.

But I felt a bit nervous.

Anyway, I wrote my answer to the first question.

Then I did question 2 and question 3.

I answered all the questions in the same way. I was

anxious about the time, I had to write quickly, but I

finished.

Unfortunately, I didn’t pass the exam;

I failed.

I don’t know why.

I felt really bad.

Perhaps I should’ve written different answers

in the test.

Because of this exam, I had to leave school

and get a job. In the end, I got a job in a hotel.

I hate it.
