You’re complaining to your parents about something. Maybe your laptop isn’t powerful enough to play the
latest games. Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours. Then you hear … ”When I was your age, there weren’t
any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was 16. And it was second-hand. And it was too
big for me!”
So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It’s certainly true that many teenagers have got more
things nowadays. A typical family is smaller now, so parents have got more money to spend on each child. And
many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children. The most significant transformation
is likely attributed to technology. Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers, tablets
and amazing smartphones. And now these things are our most essential possessions – we can’t imagine living
without them!
However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just us, with our computer or
television. Teenagers aren’t as healthy as they were in the past because they don’t do enough exercise. And,
although young people still get on well with their friends, some people think teenagers today aren’t as sociable
as they were in the past. Social media and online communication has led to fewer face-to-face interactions
among teenagers.
What do you think? How is teenage life better these days?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Pokémon Go is an augmented reality (AR) game which combines the use of smart mobile technology with
physical exploration in the real world. For example, players need to walk certain distances, such as 5 km, to
incubate Pokémon eggs. It was a global phenomenon that rocked the world since 2016. Across boundaries and

nations, the young and seniors were actively downloading and playing, joining the in-trend gaming community.
Was it a fleeting fad or a more sustainable activity?
A study, using physical activity measured and collected from 32,000 Microsoft Band users over 3 months
before and after the commencement of play of Pokémon Go, has shown that Pokémon Go users have a
significant increase in physical activity, 192 (3%) to 1473 (26%) increase in daily number of steps for light and
heavy users respectively, as compared to non-Pokémon Go users, who clocked an average of 50 steps decrease
in daily number of steps.
Although there is a large variation in effects on players’ physical activity depending on how much time they
spend playing the game, it seems promising that there is a positive influence on amount of physical activity
whether large or small. Some of these observations may have implications for public health planning.
Another study compared self-reported levels of physical activity amongst university students who were either
current Pokémon Go players, ex-players or nonplayers, and found no significant difference between the three
subject groups. However, when stratified according to amount of time spent outdoors before playing Pokémon
Go, they found that Pokémon Go has in fact lead to an increase in time spent outdoors doing physical activity
in subjects who claimed to have originally rarely spent time outdoors. This seems to suggest that Pokémon Go
and similar AR games could be employed in the future to target sedentary individuals.
However, it is interesting to note that the average physical activity for all Pokémon Go users studied in
Althoff's study, decreased at 3–4 weeks after the first experiential query, which was the proxy for the start of
Pokémon Go play. This raises the question of whether Pokémon Go is able to produce sustained increase in
physical activity levels. Moreover, each person has the same 24h a day, and one might wonder if playing
Pokémon Go would mean sacrifices in other activities such as work, school, and even sleep!
