Teenagers refer to (指的是) people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they are young, they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these. Should I go to college What kind of job do I want However, other people also influence(影响) their choices. Who influences teenagers Teenagers are asked these questions and here is what they say.
It depends on the kind of choice. When teenagers buy things, friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows, advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. On more serious things, parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it’s best to regard both parents and friends as influence. James, a thirteen-year-old boy, says he’s “just a crazy man”. But he also says “parents are really important because they can tell their children what’s right and what’s wrong.”
But teenagers often feel they need to make choices—to make their own choices. As one teenager girl said, “If our parents don’t let us make our own choices, maybe in the future we don’t know how to do it. ”And they feel friends can often be a big help, because friends sometimes know more about their situations than their parents do.
Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do or how to do it Whoever you depend on, the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hands.

A.A boy of 6. B. A woman of 30. C.A student of 17. D. A man of 25.

Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard and they have too much homework to do every day. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their teachers and classmates.

Another student, Xiao Li from a university in Shanghai, got on badly with his roommate, Xiao Huang. He killed his roommate Xiao Huang by poisoning the water in the drinking machine in their dormitory.

We often practice after school in the afternoon. Sometimes we organize matches with other teams at weekends. This great sport benefits me in two aspects. It helps to build up not only my body but my mind as well. As a result, I’m healthier, stronger and more skillful. What’s more, I learn to work well with my teammates. I hope you could join me in the game.
That’s all. Thank you.
