 EXAME NACIONAL 15

ACTIVITY B
Read the following text.
It was already 11.30 and I was still running around finding the last few things I needed to throw
into my suitcase. I had to be at school by noon to leave for the trip of a lifetime: Europe with my
French teacher and 15 friends.
5 The trip was 16 days in July, but for me it had begun in November when my French teacher, who
was planning to go to England and France, showed us slides and told stories of past trips. Starting in
London would let us begin our trip with a new culture, but the same language.
Arriving in London and getting to our hotel wasnt too out of the ordinary, the only difference was
10 driving on the other side of the road. No trip to London would be complete without seeing Big Ben,
Westminster Abbey, St. Pauls Cathedral and a changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. We
even ate at the original Hard Rock Caf. Everything was different, from the clothing styles and
accents to what people eat for breakfast and how they drive their cars. Even street crossings were
different.
15 When it came time to leave, we boarded the Eurostar* and zoomed through the tunnel under the
English Channel to Paris.
Paris itself was absolutely fabulous. We had five days there, so we were really able to take in the
Paris experience. From the top of the Eiffel Tower, we could see the entire city. The best part of Paris
was eating at the cafs, browsing at stylish boutiques, exploring the open-air markets, and
wandering through Montmartre, the art district.
20 Travelling to Europe with friends and experiencing its cultures was the opportunity of a lifetime. I
was able to see firsthand how different life is around the world. I wish I could go back and learn what
life is really like in Europe instead of seeing it as a tourist.
Lisa K., Williamsville, NY (adapted)
*High-speed passenger train operating between London, Paris and Brussels.

1. List the four phases Lisa identifies as being part of her trip to Europe.
2. In your own words, identify one of the aspects of the trip mentioned in the final paragraph that
Lisa recognises as having been particularly important.
3. Complete the following sentences, using the information in the text.
a) The French teacher showed the students slides because ___________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
b) In London, they saw not only Big Ben ___________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
c) While they were in Paris, they had time to _______________________________________________

ACTIVITY B
Read the text.

Texting Teenagers
They text late at night when their parents are asleep. They text in restaurants and while crossing
busy streets. They text in the classroom with their hands behind their back. They text so much their
thumbs hurt.
5 The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists, who say it is leading to
anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation. Sherry
Turkle, a psychologist who has studied texting among teenagers in the Boston area for three years,
said it might be causing a shift in the way adolescents develop. Two of the jobs of adolescence are
10 to separate from your parents, and to find the peace and quiet to become the person you decide you
want to be, she said. Texting hits directly at both those jobs.
Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into
autonomous adults, but if technology makes something like staying in touch very, very easy, thats
harder to do. As for peace and quiet, Turkle said, If something next to you is vibrating every couple
15 of minutes, it makes it very difficult to be in that state of mind. The pressure to answer immediately is
quite high. So if youre in the middle of a thought, forget it. The pediatrician Martin Joffe says
parents tend to be far less aware of texting than of, say, video game playing or general computer
use, and the unlimited plans often mean that parents stop paying attention to the details of the phone
bill.
20 Still, some parents are starting to take measures. Greg Hardesty, a reporter in California, said that
last year his 13-year-old daughter, Reina, racked up 14 528 texts in one month. When her grades fell
precipitously, her parents confiscated the phone. Reinas grades have since improved, and the
phone is back in her hands, but her text messages are limited to 5000 per month and none
25 between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays. But when this happens, teens feel they are being
punished for behavior in which their parents indulge. Teenagers still need their parents undivided
attention, Professor Turkle explained. Even though they text 3500 messages a week, when they
walk out of their ballet lesson, theyre upset to see their dad in the car on the cell phone. The fantasy
of every adolescent is that the parent is there, waiting, expectant, completely there for them.

ACTIVITY B
Read the following text.
The other day, I found myself listening to my parents ramble away about the apparent good ole
days. To hear them talk, youd think it was a time of peace and tranquility. There were no cell
phones, no video games and no Internet. Back then, this was a time when the TV took 5 minutes to
5 warm-up. How could this boring simplicity possibly compare to the technological tools we have at
our disposal today?
To us teenagers, the technology our parents used when they were young now seems basic and
out-of-date. They lived in the age where the World Wide Web was a myth about some giant spider
web circling the globe.
If you ask anyone about the main difference between this generation and the last, the first answer
10 in anyones mind will be the change in technology, which has created dangerous trends. For
example, today people join online communities to meet and stay in touch with friends. However, if we
all just stepped away from our computers for one minute and thought, we would realize that we are
fooling ourselves in thinking that we are being social, even sociable, when in reality we are being
anything but that.
15 Not only has modern technology changed how we interact with others, it has also changed our
attitude towards truth and honesty. Little lies have now become more acceptable in our everyday
lives. For instance, many of us put away on our msn even when we are not away because we dont
want to chat at that moment. These smaller fibs are now able to morph into bigger problems such as
using technology to cheat in school or deliberately deceive people on other ways.
20 Every day, companies are coming out with faster computers and faster ways of doing things. On
the one hand this appears positive, while on the other hand it has our society running to try to keep
up. Our world has become so competitive that no product can be considered new for more than a
25 week. Everybody wants the most popular item, the newest gadget.
So, how can our parents era possibly compare with our technological generation of today? In
many ways, it cant. Our similarities are not important; it is our differences that make us who we are.
Currently, we are moving too fast into the future and this is changing the world we live in. It is the
30 dangerous trends that are appearing that we need to eliminate.
Sebastian DeLuca, http://contracostayouth.net (abridged and adapted)
