Does this situation sound familiar(熟悉)?
You are complaining to your parents about something, Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the latest games. Then you hear...
“When I was your age, there weren't any computers or video games. And I didn't get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand.”
So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. A typical family is smaller now. So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.
Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing Smart phones. And now these things are necessary and we can't imagine living without them!
However, technology(科技) often means we spend more time at home. And often it's just us,
with our computer or television. Teenagers don”t do enough exercise.And, although young people still get on well with their friends, some people think teenagers today don't have so many social things as they did in the past.
What do you think? Is teenage life better these days?
