Its the age when we have to deal with the most 36 in our life. This transition from children to adulthood is 37 for some, but rough
17、 for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is 38 . When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do.Its all not so 39 about being a teenager though. We dont have to have our 40 take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldnt go before. We can ha
18、ve 41 with friends or even alone, which we couldnt have because we were too 42 to know what pleasure is! Its a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are old enough to 43 what is good for us, and make decisions without 44 others.But like the saying goes, “All good things must come to an en
19、d, but all bad things can continue 45 .” During this period, we are having much 46 for our studies. If we dont pass, we wont get jobs, and things will take a turn for the 47 .With the present world economy in 48 , we have to do really , really well in our 49 for a job. Adults say that their 50 is th
20、e hardest part of life. But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much 51 than being already an adult. What we do in our teenage years will 52 what we become and how we lead our life in the future. In conclusion, it is quite 53 that parents put much pressure on an already stressed out tee
21、nager. If they realized that, living condition for teenagers would be much better. 54 for the teens ourselves we should get to know what is best for us. Whats more, we should understand the right 55 of life we choose at this age can make us happy for the rest of our existence.36 Achances Bchanges Cf

27、t small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn s move to America that brought her true fame.
