Текст аудирования:
A report out today says that more and more British teenagers are earning their own money, but remain ignorant about the real ‘cost of life’. Research issued today from financial experts Sesame reveals that British teenagers are a powerful consumer force who know what they want and will save up to get it. However, while two-thirds of them know exactly how much an Apple Mini iPod costs, three quarters have no idea of the price of a pint of milk! Sesame spoke to over 300 British teenagers and their parents in order to gain a deeper understanding of how teenagers today feel about money and how their parents’ views compare — and contrast. The findings reveal an honest work ethic among teens with seventy-five percent taking up part-time jobs to repay their parents if they borrow money. Teenagers are also realistic: as a nation we are over 1 trillion pounds in debt but over two thirds of our future big spenders think that it’s sensible to avoid owing money and do not agree that being in debt is ‘part of being an adult’. However, young people are also likely to bend the rules to get what they want, with over half admitting to lying to their parents to get money at one time or another. Yet interestingly nearly all parents we spoke to (eighty five percent) believe their children had never tried to ‘fleece’ them, or get money out of them under false pretences. Here are some other findings from the report which may surprise or alarm parents:
— a shocking forty-nine percent of teenagers admit to walking home after dark, rather than taking public transport, in order to save money;
— over half (fifty-eight percent) of teens are more worried about their looks than how much money is in their purse or wallet;
— a third of teenagers believe that the British Prime Minister takes home a whopping 1m pounds or more a year (he actually earns 178,000 pounds)!
The research is published today as Sesame today launches Money, Money, Money — a book about life and money for teenagers covering diverse topics from buying a mobile phone to third-world debt, tips on buying a second-hand car to getting your first job. Sesame’s Stuart Gitsham, Editor of Money, Money, Money says: ‘Over successive generations in Britain it has become easier and easier to get the things you want. But life is about making choices and our research demonstrated that while teenagers know the price of desirable items, they have no concept about the cost of everyday goods. Without understanding the true cost of living, this next generation are storing up trouble for the future with potentially disastrous consequences. We need to break the cycle of increasing debt in Britain by helping teenagers to understand the true cost of living and the danger of credit. This is part of Sesame’s drive to help make money easier to understand and our book provides teenagers with essential facts in a simple way to help them become money wise early in their lives. Money, Money, Money will be available next month and copies of the book will be distributed to every secondary school and further education college in Britain as part of a nationwide campaign.
