1. Read the paragraph about Bethany and find out:
Why can’t Bethany wait to be 18
Reading for details
Bethany 16, Victoria, AustraliaI can’t wait to be eighteen. One reason is that although I’ve been working ever since leaving school, I won’t be voting in the next general election. Why Because I still won’t be old enough. Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them! I’ve also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very day I turn eighteen. My mum worries about me being behind the wheel. As an ambulance driver, she’s seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be twenty-one. But I think I’m already mature enough to understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people.

3) What change has he experienced after turning 18
In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual than I imagined. Instead of being the selfish teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.
The story of Lin Ning
Turning eighteen also changed the way that society viewed me. I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer.

How is the reality different from Morgan’s expectations for turning 18
I assumed I’d already have a well-paid job and that I’d be moving into a rented apartment as soon as I turned eighteen, but how wrong I was! My librarian’s salary means that I’ll be living at home with my parents for a while longer. Because I contribute to the household bills and my commute to work is quite expensive, I find it hard to save any money.
