Unit 1: Teenager Problems

To be a teenager is very difficult.Teenagers are too young
to stay out late and too old to stay home just because of a
headache or a cold. You cant behave as a kid and bother
your little sisters or brothers.
The appearance is another point. You can look gorgeous
in the morning and miserable in the evening just because
of that awful zit that decided to show up the very day you
have that terrific party.
But dont worry too much, pimples and adolescents go
always together and in a couple of years it will not be a
problem anymore, just memories.

a) Why is it difficult being a teenager?

b) What is the most common problem of adolescents?

c) Do you enjoy being a teenager?

d) What is the best thing in to be a teenager?

e) Can you give the synonyms?
teenager:
problem:
gorgeous:
home:
