I was a teenager in the fifties,

They were exciting times. A lot

of terrible things had happened

in the Second World War and

when it ended in 1945 people

needed to have sortie fun

Every Saturday, l used to go to a

ballroom where a (big band played

live Jazz, There was a Craze called swing

dancing, which we loved. We went to the Cinema

a lot, too. It used to cost two shillings then.

Nowadays, there are so many machines and

gadgets. remember that a family in our street

bought a black-andi-white tv and We all went to

their house to watch it. I'd only seen them in

the shops before that. And of Course, in those days

we hadn't seen a computer or a mobile phone

day are respectful,

but they want everything NOW. Maybe their

parents buy them TOO many things. Becky

visited my gran last

weekend and she'd found

Some of her old photos.

They were interesting.

really liked the hairstyle s

and fashions, especially

the big skirts and teena (IO

guys in suits!

ow We go to (dis cos,

but we don't dance to live music there. Most

teenagers are

watches black-and-white.tv anymore My gran

is sometimes shocked by tile bad language

and violence on TV but she s cool about most

things. She thinks it's (good that more

study and work now. She says women have more

opportunities now. l wan

and she's really interested in that. My gran left

school when she was sixteen and got married

when she was twenty. think people wait longer

she

and my granddad

had! bought a house

It's true that teenagers have got more these days

butt don't think we're all spoilt. Some teenagers

can be rude, but try to be nice and polite to

older people because, like ту gran says,
I'll be
old one day. _____Необходимо ПЕРЕВЕСТИ____
