I am a mountain I am the sea [00:11.00]I am beautiful I am me. -Anonymous [00:12.00]First day of Hight School [00:13.00]Today was my first day of high school.It was the most exciting day of my life. [00:14.00]When I walked into the school,I became nervous. [00:15.00]It was so big that I was afraid I might get lost. [00:16.00]I didn't know anyone and I felt lonely. [00:17.00]I was happy that I was wearing new jeans and a nice shirt. [00:18.00]When you watch TV, [00:19.00]you learn that teenagers should wear the right clothes to be popular. [00:20.00]But I'm not sure which are the right clothes and which are the wrong clothes. [00:21.00]I saw a girl in the hallway [00:22.00]who looked very cool and she was talking to a group of kids. [00:23.00]She was wearing the same jeans as mine,so I guessed my clothes were okay. [00:24.00]I felt more confident.I looked at my timetable and went to find my first class. [00:25.00]My first class was math.I really like math. [00:26.00]Some people think girls aren't good at math, [00:27.00]but I always get good marks in math.It's easy for me. [00:28.00]I went into the classroom and sat down at the second desk right near the door. [00:29.00]There was a girl sitting in front of me.Her name was Pat. [00:30.00]She was very friendly.She also was very forgetful. [00:31.00]She forgot her pen,so she borrowed mine. [00:32.00]She forgot her paper,so I gave her a sheet of paper. [00:33.00]She forgot her wallet,so I lent her money to buy a drink. [00:34.00]The one thing she didn't forget was my name. [00:35.00]We felt like friends already!At the end of the class she said, [00:36.00]"It's nice to meet you,Jenny.We'll be classmates!" [00:37.00]I didn't feel so nervous any more. [00:38.00]I left math class and began looking for Room 211. [00:39.00]That was the science classroom.It was upstairs. [00:40.00]I looked and looked,but I couldn't find the stairs. [00:41.00]I was worried that I would be late for class. [00:42.00]It would be terrible to be late for my first class. [00:43.00]I hurried down the hall and finally saw the stairs. [00:44.00]I ran quickly up the stairs.Suddenly I tripped and my binder fell down. [00:45.00]Many papers flew all around.I was so embarrassed. [00:46.00]Just then,Pat came up the stairs with two friends.She saw me and said,"Hi Jenny." [00:47.00]Her two freinds picked up all the papers and handed them to me. [00:48.00]"Thank you."I said."No problem,"they answered. [00:49.00]I was so impressed.They were very kind. [00:50.00]They didn't make me feel clumsy.I didn't feel embarrassed any more. [00:51.00]You know,it is hard to be a teenager.When I was a child,life was easier. [00:52.00]I just played and had fun with Danny and other friends. [00:53.00]I didn't worry about things. [00:54.00]But now I am a teenager and I have more things to think about. [00:55.00]I must study hard and get good marks. [00:56.00]I must get used to my new school,new teachers,and new classmates. [00:57.00]I want to make new friends.I want to discover what I do when I become and adult. [00:58.00]It's hard to make that decision.I will try make the best decision I can. [00:59.00]I am going to sleep now and I feel happy. [-1:00.00]My school is good.I know where the stairs are now, [-1:-1.00]and I met a new friend named Pat. [-1:-2.00]I wonder what tomorrow will bring.Jenny [-1:-3.00]Song [-1:-4.00]Section 2 Meaning Through Practice [-1:-5.00]C.Build your listening skills [-1:-6.00]1.listen to the audioptape.In the brackets,write"T"for statements that are true, [-1:-7.00]and "F" for those that are false.

[-1:17.00]During the last period, [-1:18.00]I'd gotten my math test back and was happy to see that I got a 93. [-1:19.00]As I opened the door,I found my mom where I usually find her, [-1:20.00]over the sink preparing dinner and washing the dishes. [-1:21.00]"Hi,dear.How was your day?"she asked. [-1:22.00]"It was fine.I got my math test back.Look,I got a 93." [-1:23.00]"Let me see it,'she said, [-1:24.00]drying her hands on the dishtowel and taking the test paper."Just a 93." [-1:25.00]"Mom,that's really good compared to what everybody else got." [-1:26.00]"Mm-hmm,and what did your friend get?" [-1:27.00]"Oh,I think she got a 98 or something." [-1:28.00]"I guess she studied more than your did,didn't she?"she said, [-1:29.00]handing me back the test.I walked out of the kitchen with very heavy steps. [-1:30.00]It was typical of her to say that.It makes me feel like I'm not good enough. [-1:31.00]I something ask myself,"Why does my mom have to be like that?" [-1:32.00]The only answer I can think of is that maybe she pushes me hard to do well school [-1:33.00]because she never got the education she wanted. [-1:34.00]When I was in kindergarten,my mom began to teach me math. [-1:35.00]I was the best student in the class in math. [-1:36.00]And it was like that from then on. [-1:37.00]I enjoyed getting good grades,but I also liked making my mom proud of me. [-1:38.00]She always congratulated me on my grades. [-1:39.00]But I junior high,things began to get tougher. [-1:40.00]My grades went down,not too much,but enough to make my mom disappointed. [-1:41.00]Instead of the usual 100s and 98s,I was getting some 90s and 85s. [-1:42.00]Whenever I brought home an imperfect test,she'd go into one of her speeches. [-1:43.00]"You see,next time try harder,and you will succeed." [-1:44.00]By 7th grade,I decided to show her only my best grades. [-1:45.00]When I do bring home an excellent grade,like a 100, [-1:46.00]she sounds like she doesn't care. [-1:47.00]She says things like "Good,"and "Great,"but she doesn't congratulate me. [-1:48.00]I think Mom might be afraid that if I'm not the best, [-1:49.00]I might turn into one of those girls she watches out the window, [-1:50.00]walking in their slippers and ragged clothes. [-1:51.00]She knows from experience that it's hard to go through life without an education, [-1:52.00]but I find it annoying to hear the same thing over and over again. [-1:53.00]When I get poor grades sometimes,Mom looks unhappy. [-1:54.00]I say to her,"I do study!The tests are hard. [-1:55.00]So what it if I miss a few questions!""That's not the point,"she says. [-1:56.00]"You should study every day so that you can get a better score. [-1:57.00]One day when you're older and have your own place to live and a job, [-1:58.00]you're going to come back and say. [-1:59.00]'Thank you ,Mom,for all you've done,'You just watch." [-2:00.00]Although what Mom repeatedly says about my schoolwork drives me crazy, [-2:-1.00]in a way,I know she's right. [-2:-2.00]I don't think I'd be as careful with my schoolwork without it. [-2:-3.00]I also might not care as much about my education. [-2:-4.00]But I take my work and my gardes seriously-for me,not for Mom. [-2:-5.00]I know perfectly well that it's going to help me in life,not her. [-2:-6.00]I wish my mom would see how much I try.I wish she would be more encouraging. [-2:-7.00]Food for Thought [-2:-8.00]Here are some paragraphs written by young people from around the world. [-2:-9.00]Like you,the authors are teenagers. [-2:10.00]They are faced with the same kinds of challenges and problems in life as you are. [-2:11.00]They try to find answers to their questions about their parents, [-2:12.00]their teachers and their friends,as well as about themselves. [-2:13.00]Read these excerpts and do the exercises that follow. [-2:14.00]Teenagers Talking About "Being a Teenager" [-2:15.00]Being a teenager is a strange and yet exciting part of life.

[-2:48.00]Speaking as a female, [-2:49.00]I feel the pressures in the media and in my everyday life to be that ideal, [-2:50.00]5'10'',100 pound,blonde,blue-eyed woman.
