На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкTeenagersТинейджерыMy name is Maria and I’m a teenager. I’m 15 years old. In fact, children aged 13 to 19 are considered to be teenagers. In my opinion, it is one of the best periods of life. Although, there are, of course, some advantages and disadvantages of this age group. It isn’t always easy to be a teenager. Boys and girls often meet their first love when they are teenagers. This type of love can be unhappy. Many teenagers start smoking and drinking alcohol, which is not good at all. They simply don’t know how unhealthy it can be. This way they want to look older and more mature. I think this is the age when parents should keep an eye on their children to help them overcome such problems. In many countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still at school. It is a good way to keep busy. When teens do something useful and have interesting hobbies, they are less seen in bad companies. Of course, these jobs are not full-time because pupils should also attend their classes during the day. Part-time jobs are a good solution in this situation. One of my English pen-friends does a part-time job. She wakes up early and delivers newspapers in the neighborhood. Then, she goes to school. It’s a low-paid job but she still likes it. At least, she gets some pocket money. I wish I could do something similar in my town. Unfortunately, I almost don’t have any free time. I’m now at a high school and I study hard to pass the exams. Other than that, I attend special IT workshops for my future career. In the end, when I have some free time left I read books. Reading is one of my favourite hobbies. As you see, unlike many teenagers, I have no time for bad habits.
