 Part B – Reading
Read the text attentively.
Teenage
7:00 a.m I curse my alarm clock for waking me up. It always scares me. I
didn’t get much sleep last night because of my homework. Ok. You know it
wasn’t just that, but the same way some people can’t sleep before reading a
life is
5
couple of pages, I just can’t sleep if I don’t take a peek at Instagram. Now, I’m
definitely going to look like a zombie for the rest of the morning!
hell
8:30 a.m Monday morning starts with classes for 5 hours! At least there’s one hour between the
morning and afternoon classes for lunch. And to make things worse, after my last class of the day,
what do I see? The girl I like talking to her boyfriend. Now, that hurts.
5:00 p.m Then I get to sit on the bus and I would relax if it weren’t for two annoying and stuck up
10
girls sitting in the seat behind me. They are judging Simone for liking mainstream music and having
such poor taste in fashion. Luckily, they haven’t noticed my haircut. Why don’t I bring a pair of
earphones with me all the time?
5:30 p.m I’m finally home and I just want to relax for half an hour. I toss my backpack and
sweatshirt on the floor and on my way to the living room, my mom tells me to tidy up the mess I made
15
in an angry tone. I finally get back to the sofa when my brother asks me to play cards, but I turn him
down. This is naturally followed by 10 minutes of whining and complaining. Before I know it, my mom
freaks out because I’m screaming at him.
6:15 p.m I go to my room because homework sounds better than listening to that. Coincidentally,
dad comes in just as I begin my first study break and asks why I’m not doing my homework. I tell him
20
that I had just stopped for five minutes. He replies “Don’t lie to me. You’ve been watching Netflix,
haven’t you?” I was actually telling the truth, but he gives me a sermon and goes off mumbling
something. And this is what makes being a teenager hard. However, if I was asked what is great about
being a teen, my answer would be way longer.

Listening script 1
You are going to listen to an excerpt of an interview.
Interviewer – What teenager doesn’t dream of being a rock star? Thanks to an Australian charity, that dream may
not be too far off for many young people. With me I have Roxy Lee, founder of the Blue Guitar Project, aimed at
fostering teen creativity in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Thank you so much for being here. Roxy, you’re a rock
photographer. So, what inspired you to start this project?
Roxy – Well, it was Katy Perry, who pushed me to create a charity for teens using music as an inspiration to
follow their dreams. Also, four years ago, while I was doing a photo shoot on the streets of Redfern, this boy
called Maguil asked me to photograph him. A few days later I found out he was homeless and had no address for
me to send the photos to. I was so shocked because I hadn’t suspected a thing. He had looked so confident.
Perhaps you could say that the Blue Guitar Project was the result of Maguil and Katy Perry mixed with the right
timing.
Interviewer – So, the blue Guitar Project is not just about inspiring teenagers to be rock stars. Why is this so
important for this particular age group?
Roxy – Well, it’s really important that teens find their voice at this stage of their lives. This is a way for them to
make their dreams come true. When I first began this project, I started working with 10 homeless teenagers that
attended the Youth Off the Streets School. Many of the teenagers there lack the appropriate role models, as well
as the know-how and resources to do the right thing, so they often go back to old habits. So, I’m really happy to
say that now we have a musical high school program for 9th and 10th graders. I honestly think that the magic of
the Blue Guitar is to give our teens a life changing experience through something they relate to: music!
Interviewer – Well, it is indeed an amazing project and we thank you for sharing it with us. We wish you all the
best and hope that the results are as sweet as music is to your ears!

Listening script 2
Meet Haile Thomas, the 18-Year-Old CEO and Vegan Activist Taking Over the World.
Presenter – As part of World Vegan Day, today we’re talking to Haile Thomas, the vegan activist that’s taking
over the world. Good evening to you, Haile. You are the CEO of The HappyOrg. What exactly is The Happy Org
organization?
Haile – Good evening. Well, The HappyOrg is a non-profit organization that brings nutrition, health and prevention
education programs to underserved and at-risk communities. Literally it means Healthy Active Positive Purposeful
Youth.
Presenter – So tell us, how did you get involved in Health Activism?
Haile – I first got involved in health activism when I was 10. I started speaking at different health conferences and
at schools about how I believe it’s our birth right to know what we’re doing to our body through the choices we
make. This peer-to-peer connection was super important to me.
Presenter – Is it true that you became a CEO at the age of 12?
Haile – Yes, but I had a lot of support from my family, especially my mom who is the co-founder. She helped with
the legal side of things because I couldn’t really start a business until I was 18.
Presenter – Why did you become a vegan?
ENGA10TF © Porto Editora

Haile – I went vegan when I was 13 or 14. I just grew tired of the things I was eating in general and was intrigued
by plant-based food. Then my family joined me and together we learned about the ethical and environmental
benefits, and how you can take a stand on healthy eating habits just by what’s on your plate.
Presenter – What’s next for you?
Haile – I’m excited about all the projects I’ve been working on with The Happy Org, including our virtual program
for schools and community centres. In the future, we plan on building a facility where we can host summer camps
and cooking classes – that’s a huge goal. Besides this, I’m writing a cookbook with lots of vegan recipes, which
will hopefully send out the message that food is fuel for your body and for your potential. I would also love to study
nutrigenomics in the future; that’s definitely something that interests me.
Presenter – Well, you really got me and our listeners interested in your life experience. You were certainly an
inspiration on World Vegan Day. Thank you, Haile, for this interview.
