TEST A
I am thirteen years old and I need some advice. I want to eat nutritiously and be in shape, but I have a
hard time giving up things I love --- like pizza and chocolate. What can I do to avoid bad foods?
( Natasha, Florida)
Its terrific that you want to eat well. Eating properly is the best thing to do if you want to feel good
and keep fit. Avoiding bad foods is also important because this way you can control your weight and be
healthy. Being a teenager today usually means having busy schedule complete with schoolwork, extracurricular activities, socialising and just having fun. Sometimes this means eating in a hurry or in the
cafeteria or at the shopping centre- and you dont have a lot of time or a lot of choices. Other times, you
just feel like having a cookie or two or some chocolate. The key is learning whats healthy and whats
not.
Exercise also makes a huge difference because it burns calories. Remember that diets and pills are
not healthy. Nothing works magically or overnight. Sometimes loosing weight quickly can cause serious
problems to our health. You can feel depressed or have a nervous breakdown. Theres no reason you
cant have a slice of pizza or a cake every now and then. Eating well-balanced mini-meals throughout
the day can help you to control your weight. You can also avoid eating foods high in calories or fats.

TEST A
Advertisement can make almost anything look attractive. Thats what tobacco companies and
their advertisers have done with smoking. Theyve taken an expensive and unhealthy habit and tried to
convince people that its glamorous and exciting.
Tobacco companies use advertisement to manipulate both teens and adults. They present
images that are hard to forget even if you know the truth. Have you ever seen a cigarette ad where
people are middle-aged, and coughing or in the hospital with cancer? Of course not! In most ads,
smokers are shown the way that teens would like to be: attractive, sophisticated and elegant or
rebellious.
Maybe youve heard of product placement. Thats when a company pays the makers of a movie
to place their product, like a car or a computer, in the movie. They show young and attractive people
using their product hoping that others will want to use it, too. The cigarette companies know that these
messages are hard to resist; they make it even harder when they offer premiums for the purchase of
cigarettes, like CD players and athletic gear. What they dont tell you in cigarette ads is that they want
you to become addicted. Tobacco companies closely control the number of teens who are smoking.
They worry when those numbers decline because they need new smokers to replace the ones who die
each day from smoking-related illnesses.

The internets definitely here to stay. The latest figures show that are more than 4.5% million
teenagers on the UK and around 60% of these are online and using the net regularly.
A favourite for communication and information, the internet is becoming more popular as it

included in the National Curriculum so that children and teenagers grow up with at least the basic
knowledge of what the internet can do.
Girls are more likely to use the internet for homework, to e-mail and to read magazine-style
websites; boys are more likely to download music and play games. But both enjoy chatting and sending
e-mails. Its very important for them to keep in touch. Almost 70% of teenage girls and 50% of boys
agree that the internet is a good way to meet new people and 40% agree that you can use it to become
closer to your friends. But the net can also be dangerous. Last year two girls ran away to London to meet
people they met in a chat room and returned home 3 days later.
Fortunately, such cases are rare, although authorities are helping parents and teachers to be
more aware of who their children talk to and how much personal information they give.
Parents shouldnt stop their children from using the net, or from corresponding with others
because chat rooms can provide a forum for debate and can be used as a study aid.

TEST B
The internets definitely here to stay. The latest figures show that are more than 4.5% million
teenagers on the UK and around 60% of these are online and using the net regularly.
A favourite for communication and information, the internet is becoming more popular as it
becomes cheaper. Activities like sending e-mails and searching for information on the web are being
included in the National Curriculum so that children and teenagers grow up with at least the basic
knowledge of what the internet can do.
Girls are more likely to use the internet for homework, to e-mail and to read magazine-style
websites; boys are more likely to download music and play games. But both enjoy chatting and sending
