PART 3: READING.
Read the following passage and write the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
What's the problem with British teenagers? Many British newspapers and
TV programmes are asking this question at the moment. A lot of people are
saying that there are problems with teenagers at school, on the streets and in
their homes. Why? What, or who, is responsible for these problems? A recent
BBC television series explores these questions. It's called 'The world's strictest
parents'. Is that because British parents are very strict? Just the opposite, it
seems. The director of the programme, Andrea Wiseman, explains why they are
making it. She thinks that in the United Kingdom teenagers pay no attention to
adults. They don't want to do well at school. They think they can do what they
like and they are only interested in new fashions and
Hollywood celebrities. Why are British teenagers like this? Wiseman says it's
because their parents give their children everything they can. But they give their
children no limits, no rules, no discipline because they want their children to be
'free'. They don't tell their children to work hard because they don't want their
kids to have any stress. The problem with this is that parents give their sons and
daughters no cultural values. When a teenager does something bad and their
parents say something, the teenagers immediately say 'My parents are really
strict' or 'My parents aren't fair'.
So what happens in the TV programme? Some problematic British
teenagers go and live with parents in different parts of the world. They live with
families that believe in traditional discipline and cultural values. In Ghana,
Jamaica, Botswana and the southern us state of Alabama, the teenagers have the
experience of living with parents who want and expect good behaviour and hard
work. The results are interesting. In the end, the British teenagers seem to prefer
having strict parents!
