Talking to

todaysteensby Jane Barker

Are todays teenagers really lazy, rude and unhelpful? I talked to forty teenagersand their parents. I wanted to find out if they got on well.

Most of the teenagers said that they werentrebels. For example, Gemma, aged 14, said thatshe didnt often argue with her parents. She saidher mother was her closest friend.

Sixteen-year-old Dave told me that he certainlywasnt lazy. He said that he worked hard at schooland he had a weekend job too.

Several teenagers told me they werent happy athome, but they also said their families wereimportant to them. Donna, aged 15, said that shecouldnt talk to her parents about problemsbecause they didnt understand her. But she saidit didnt worry her because she didnt spendmuch time at home!

2 PresentationThey said they werent rebelsa Listen to three British

teenagers and follow in yourbook. Are they like teenagersin your country?

My brother and sister dont like each other!

I cant talk to my parents aboutproblems. They dont understand me.But it doesnt really worry me, becauseI dont spend much time at home.

b Listen and read the article aboutteenagers in Britain. Are you surprised by theresults of Jane Barkers study?

Gemma

3 Key grammar Reported speechComplete the examples and read the explanation.Direct speech Reported speech

When we report what someone said, we often change the present tense to the past tense.

3 Key grammar Question tagsa Read the explanation and complete the examples with theright tag.

Youre going out, arent you?He isnt in a very good mood, is he?You werent very polite, you?Ill have a great time, I?We can hang out together, we?

In sentences in the present simple and past simple, we usedo/dont, does/doesnt, did/didnt in the tag:

You go to karate on Tuesday, dont you?You didnt clean the car, you?

We usually use short answers after sentences with question tags:

Youre going out, arent you?Yes, I am. / No, Im not.

Wrong NumberLast Wednesday night I was watching televisionwhen the phone rang.

Hello? I said. It was a girls voice at the other end. Can I speak to Ben, please? Theres no one called Ben in our house. It was

probably a wrong number but I was bored. Ireplied, Im sorry, he isnt in.

Do you know what time hell be back? she asked. I think hell be home about ten. There was a long silence. Is that Steve? My name isnt Steve either. This was definitely

a wrong number. So I replied, Yes, it is. Can I takea message for Ben?

Well, he said he was staying at home tonight andhe asked me to call him, she said in an irritatedvoice.

I replied, Well, he went out with Karen about anhour ago. He said he was coming back at ten.

A shocked voice said, Whos Karen?! The girl he went out with. I know that! I mean, who is she? I dont know her last name. Look, do you want to

leave a message for Ben? Yes. Tell him to call me when he gets home. She

was really angry now. Sure. Is that Jennifer? She exploded. Whos Jennifer?

I use the phone nearly every day.
