I can’t wait to be 18. One reason is that although I’ve been
working ever since leaving school, I won’t be voting in the
next general election. Why? Because I still won’t be old
enough. Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and
pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the
government spends them! I’ve also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very day I turn 18. My mum worries about me being behind the wheel. As an ambulance driver, she’s seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be 21. But I think I’m already mature enough to understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people.

Task 3: Read and recite

I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university.
I expected to feel instantly different, as if I had closed the door
on my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world.
But it wasn’t like that. When I woke up the next day, there were
still rules to obey and lessons to attend. In fact, the change has
been more subtle and gradual than I imagined. Instead of being
the selfish teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more
aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social
responsibility. To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow. This was a big decision for me and I made it without asking my parents (although I knew they would approve). Turning 18 also changed the way that society viewed me. I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer. Of course, I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point, but I currently don’t have a steady income, so getting a credit card might tempt me to spend more money than I have!

People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives, and that
we should become more independent. I used to believe this,
but the reality for me has been very different. I assumed I’d
already have a well-paid job and that I’d be moving into a
rented apartment as soon as I turned 18, but how wrong I
was! My librarian’s salary means that I’ll be living at home with my parents for a while longer. Because I contribute to the household bills and my commute to work is quite expensive, I find it hard to save any money. I’ll be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier. I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment, but I don’t feel ready to make that kind of commitment, and I do like my mom’s cooking. I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
