Question

Ответьте на вопросы по тексту пожалуйста!! Reading Here is Vicky’s letter to a teenage magazine.I’m writing to say that teen magazines have been criticized rightly for giving teenagers the wrong impression on different problems. I buy two girls’ magazines but I might stop soon. Teen magazines give very strong ideas about what’s “normal”. They are so stereotypical and they don’t let you have an opinion or to be different. Teen magazines make you feel that you should have a certain figure… Sometimes it makes you feel bad about yourself. Why should every girl have exactly the same taste, be exactly the right appearance and size? Real people know they can be themselves and be happy how they are. Why should we follow the standards teen magazine offer? They don’t know anything about teenagers’ lives and fill their pages with gossip on celebrities that nobody really cares about. There is more to life than make-up and clothes. Most of the things in girls’ magazines are just wrong!!! I’m 15 and I don’t feel comfortable reading them!!! They teach us things that we’re too young to know about. Sometimes I am absolutely shocked by the content and by the language.I think that magazines should be written by teenagers not adults because they don’t know what our life is like today. Magazines should give more practical advice on things that can really influence us. They also should give a warning of both – bad language and the wrong content. I would like to read a magazine that meets all the demands (отвечает всем требованиям) but I haven’t found one yet. Vicky, Newcastle 1) Answer the questions. 1.
