What Is It Really Like Being 15? 1) What are the biggest worries for 15-year-olds in your country? Kevin from Bern, Switzerland: Most of my friends are afraid to get bad results at examinations or fail them. Filipos from Athens, Greece: School and exams. You: I think school marks. 2) What do you want to do in five years’ time? Kevin: I want to be at university. Filipos: I’d like to be at university and have my own car. You: I’m going to enter the University and start the own business. 3) What are the best/worst things about your country? Kevin: The best is the political system. Filipos: Some of the best things about Greece are its mild climate, beautiful beaches and nature. The worst things are the unemployment, the economy and immigration. Robbie from Antananarivo, Madagascar: I feel very safe in my country, there’s very little crime. The worst thing is that it’s a bit too quiet — there’s nothing to do. You: The best thing is our nature with its endless forests and fields. The worst thing is the educational system with its exams and final tests. 4) What are the best and worst things about being 15? James from Glasgow, Scotland, UK: I like having more independence now. My parents let me do more things. I decide when I go to bed if I manage to get up on time in the morning. I don’t like exams. Robbie: It’s good to be fifteen because people give you more independence. They think you’re not a kid any longer. But you are more responsible. Parents expect you to behave well. You: It’s great to be 15 because it’s a period of life when I can realize myself in many spheres: music, art, theatre etc. I just shouldn’t being scared about the choice I have to do. It can be the worst thing about being 15. 5) What are you most afraid of? Kevin: Terrorism. Filipos: Unemployment and war. But my biggest worry is the death of my relatives and friends.
