4 Reading
A Read the magazine article below.

The stress of being a teenager

Adults will always tell you that your school days are the happiest days of your life.
I’m sure you would disagree and wonder if they were ever teenagers themselves.
(1) , but it’s easy to forget how stressful life as a teenager can be.
You don’t want to be treated like a child and you want your independence. You
think you are old enough to make your own decisions but your parents don’t think
you are, so it’s likely that you will have arguments about almost everything, from
what time you should be home in the evenings, (2) . If you don’t do as
your parents say, you will get into trouble, but these arguments, (3) ,
are a part of growing up and finding out who you are.
You spend most of your time at school so you might have worries about keeping up
with all your homework. There is a lot of pressure on you to do well in exams.
(4) . What if you’re not very academic? What if you prefer sports
or more practical subjects? Your parents might want you to go to university so they
will want you to do well in your exams. They will tell you how important it is to have
a good education, but perhaps you don’t agree.
And then there’s your appearance. You want to look good, so you’ll spend hours
getting ready for a party, but your parents don’t like your clothes. Maybe you want
to have your ears pierced or to dye your hair, but your parents won’t let you.
Does any of this sound familiar? (5) . Do write in and let us know.

B Choose a suitable phrase/sentence for each gap.

There is one phrase/sentence you won’t use.
a If so, what do you do to make your life simpler?
b although they are stressful
c But what if you don’t like school? MODULE 2 TEST A
d Of course they were
e to your new boyfriend/girlfriend
f They don’t understand 10
