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代替 being the selfish自私的 teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop培养 a stronger sense of social responsibility社会责任感. To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow. This was a big decision for me. Of course I asked my parents for their approval first. 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! 4.What can we learn about Lin Ning?

Morgan became more independent as soon as he turned 18. 3.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. 5.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.
