Language points Language points 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. Bethany 16, Victoria, Austrilia 大选 有发言权 驾车 Language points 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 world. But it wasn’t like that. When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. Lin Ning 19, Shanghai, china obey v.遵守 Language points Lin Ning 19, Shanghai, china 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 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! adj. 难以察觉的 adj.逐渐的 tempt sb. to do 诱惑某人... Language points 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. Morgan 20, Florida, the US n. 通勤路程 Language points Morgan 20, Florida, the US I’ll be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier. I know I could get a 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. n.订金，押金 08.

I’d like to share my thoughts about turning 18. In my opinion, turning 18 means becoming an adult. It brings us more freedom, like the right to vote and get a driving licence. At the same time, it also brings more responsibilities. We need to take care of ourselves and think about others. For example, we should be careful when driving and start to pay attention to social issues. I believe being 18 is not just about age, but also about learning to be responsible.
