C Read the descriptions of different teenage groups and match them to the right names from Task A.

1

Looks and fancy clothes are very important

for them, and they sometimes spend hours in

the bathroom just to get the perfect hairstyle or

match the right outfit. You might call them fashion

victims, because they love designer labels and

always keep up with the latest trends. Does school

create problems for them? They don’t generally

have problems with school or teachers, but they

have no special interests because they are good at

most subjects. When it comes to music, they listen

to anything played on radio stations and MTV, as

long as it’s not too loud. And their favourite hang-

out? Shopping centres, of course, especially at

weekends!

3

They are fascinated by African American urban

culture, so baggy clothes and baseball caps are

their most usual outfit. What do they think about

gra�ti? They don’t consider gra�ti vandalism, so

you can see their drawings on city walls, but

sometimes in their notebooks, too. What kind of

music do they like? Rap and hip hop, of course,

but the girls love R&B, too, and they are especially

fond of hip-hop dance. Most hip hoppers are

very good with words and rhymes, and know

a lot about politics and global problems, so it’s

good to have them on your debate team. How

do they spend their free time? They love playing

basketball, so school playgrounds are among their

favourite hang-outs. And let’s not forget the clubs,

when there is a rap battle!

2

They are simply ingenious at working with

computers. Very few people can actually

understand them when they talk about the latest

software or new gadgets. They are brilliant at

science subjects, especially maths and physics,

but schoolwork in general is rarely a problem

for them. Are they fashion-conscious? When it

comes to clothes, they grab whatever is clean in

their room. They are not too picky about music

either, but rock, heavy metal or hip hop are among

their favourites. Who are their friends? They mix

well with skaters, since skateboarding is often

their favourite pastime. Their favourite hang-outs

are computer labs, cyber cafés or any other place

with a computer nearby.

4

School is the centre of their world, and most of

them already have a clear idea about their future

career. They are very ambitious and competitive,

but also hard-working, so they never forget to

do their homework. That’s why other students

sometimes call them nerds. They are extremely

well-behaved, which is why they are almost always

teacher’s pets. Does fashion play an important

role in their lives? They’re not particularly fashion-

conscious, but they like neat and casual clothes.

They are not picky about popular music, but

some of them like to join their parents at concerts

of classical music. Although most teenagers find

books boring, they really enjoy reading, so libraries

are definitely among their favourite hang-outs.

5

Their sports career is as important as school for them, and most of them miss a lot of classes preparing

for important competitions. That’s why they sometimes have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on,

which doesn’t mean that they don’t do well in exams, and unlike some other students, they are always

excellent at P.E. A tracksuit is their most usual outfit, simply because it is the most comfortable. Where

do they spend most of their free time? In a gym, of course, but sports events are also among their

favourite hang-outs.
