Reading
В Read the first paragraph of this article. What do you think life for teenagers would be like in places like these?
Life in far-off places
About 50*0 of the world’s population lives in cities, and most of those who don’t, live within easy reach of one. But what’s it like to be a teenager in a far-off, remote place? We asked two teenagers in rather different, isolated parts of the world to tell us about the lives.
Lisa Charles. 17 (Perth. Australia)
Perth may be a big city, but it is the most isolated city in the world, the nearest city being Adelaide. 2130 km away! So what is life like in Perth? Well, when we asked Lisa, she smiled and said she couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. The climate and its location make it an ideal place for an outdoor lifestyle. No wonder sailing and other sea sports arc very popular pastimes. Its population (around 1.9 million) and the available space (5336 tan2) mean that its residents live in houses with large gardens. Many also have swimming pools and entertain a great deal in their homes. Barbecues have become a traditional way of life.’ says Lisa.
‘There’s a lot to do in Perth.’ Use told us. There are lots of enemas and theatres. There are also different kinds of youth clubs, like sports dubs, sailing and rowing clubs, that sort of thing. You can learn to play a musical instrument or even attend dance lessons. I’ve just started attending Latin dance lessons. I’m learning to mambo and salsa. It’s great fun and I really like it. You can. of course, go over to friends’ houses or invite friends over to yours. There really is a lot to do here.’
Look at the map and pictures. What do you know about these places?
C Scan the article, then copy and complete the table.
D Read the text about Lisa more carefully and choose the best options.
E Read the text about Manos more carefully and choose the best options.
1 To get to Athens from Nisyros
a you take a ship from the island,
b you fly by plane from its airport,
c you take three ships,
d you first have to travel to another place.
2 According to Manos. being a teenager
Perth, Australia Nisyros. Greece
What is the population?
What makes this place isolated?
What can teenagers do in these places?
F What might Manos say to Lisa?
You would love being a teenager on Nisyros.
Most people have never heard of Nisyros. a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea. It is a small island with fewer than 1000 people. It is also geographically isolated and is not on any major shipping routes. In fact, to go to Athens by ship or even by pane, you first need to travel by boat to Kos. the nearest main island. Manos told us that as a child he had been allowed to run around the town with his friends, or swim all day in the sea. His big city cousins, who visited in the summer, were jealous of the freedom the island children had. In the city, they were stuck in flats or houses, as it was not safe for them to go out without an audit.
But there is a downs.de to living in such a small* far-off place. I would like to do other things, like go to the cinema or a football match or even a funfair, but I can’t. Now it’s me that’s envious of my city cousins. As teenagers, they have opportunities to do things that I can only dream about. There are also very few teenagers on Nisyros. In my dad’s. there are only eight students! But we do have a local football team, and we enjoy compel ng with teams from other nearby islands. At least it means I get to travel a bit.’
Right now, I would love to live where you live.
City life is not a good life for teenagers.
Your city is too isolated.
