SESSION 2: HOLLYWOOD KIDS
1. Read the first and last paragraph and try to predict the text..
GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES AIN’T EASY
In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous, and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious, and the children are part of the parents’ ambitions.
Parents pay for extravagant parties, expensive cars, and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids learn the value of nothing because they can have everything. A 13-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cars, and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants. ‘One day, I’ll earn more than my Dad, he boasts. Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda’s mother employs a personal trainer, a nutritionist, a bodyguard, a chauffeur, a singing coach, and a counsellor to look after all her 15-year-old daughter’s needs. Often there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they’re ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids in L.A. live unreal lives where money, beauty, and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already? Here you are some comments by some of them: “Looks are very important in Hollywood. If you’re good-looking, you’ll go far. I want to be a beautician. You grow up really fast in L.A. Everyone is in a rush to be an adult, to be going to clubs. It’s not cool to be a kid.” Mijanou, aged 18. “I live in a hotel and when I come home from school, there are maybe 80 people who say ‘Good day’ to me. It’s their job to say that. In the bathroom there are mirrors everywhere. I love looking at myself. I can spend five hours doing my hair and posing. I’m going to be a model.” Emily, aged 10. “I’ve wanted to get my nose done since I was 12. My friends started having plastic surgery and liposuction during my freshman year of high school. My nose cost 10,000 dollars. But it was worth it. It changed my life. I’m gonna get into the movies.” Lindsey, aged 18. “Everyone thinks Hollywood is so glamorous, but I have news for you. It is really dangerous growing up in L.A. People have guns. Sometimes I think I’m going crazy. I’m going to get out of here as soon as possible.” Zavier, aged 18.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION: 1. Do you recycle your rubbish?BEING DIFFERENT – RADIO PROGRAMME Presenter: Teenage years are all about daring to be different. Or are they? Whether it is the music we listen to or the films we watch, most of us strive to conform in order to be part of a group. Belonging is crucial, and image is a key part of this conformity. For many teenagers, it is a question of style, but for others it is a matter of changing their appearance permanently. Amanda Ferrero has come to our programme in order to give us her views on the problem. What kind of problems do you find to find your place, Amanda? Amanda: Well, it’s… rather upsetting. Last summer I had plastic surgery on my nose. I thought that if I changed my appearance, my life would be better. But the operation has not solved my problem. After I had the operation (which by the way, was quite dangerous) my friends started criticizing me. They said I was vain and pig-headed, but I didn’t want to have the operation. It’s the people that made fun of me. Presenter: After some days, our team had the opportunity to talk to some of Amanda’s friends. Let’s see what he has to say: Jerry: For people like Amanda, appearance is everything, and it is not surprising. Advertisements on TV, in magazines and in newspapers all feature tall, thin, beautiful people, they ‘sell’ the message that if you are pretty, you will be happy. But there are many types of beauty, and sometimes it is better to be a unique individual and stand out from the crowd. Real confidence comes from accepting yourself the way you are, and not trying to look like someone else. Presenter: Do you think Amanda’s reaction was normal? Let’s see what other people has to say. At school, a group of students used to laugh at Raul Kepler. Raul: I thought they were my friends, but they made jokes about my weight behind my back. They were mean and two-faced. I was really embarrassed and I went on loads of diets. Presenter: Now he’s nineteen, Raul feels very differently. Raul: They judged me by my appearance. How narrow-minded is that? I’m more mature and thick-skinned now, and I don’t care what people say. I love the way I look and so does my girlfriend. When I was sixteen, I just wanted to fit in. Today I have a new philosophy: believe in yourself and dare to be different!
