“At the hotel”

 

One day a couple were in a hotel and asked for a room to the hotel manager. They added they wanted to have a room with the bath.

The hotel manager gave them the key to the room 23, so the couple approached to the room and entered it. There they heard a man singing and discovered the noise was coming from the bathroom. So they asked the man what was he doing in their room and he replied it was his room and he was having a bath so he invited them to get out of the room. The girl said angrily she was going to call the hotel manager when he came in the room and told them he had made a mistake, and the room was the next door one, the number 21.

Dear Teen Scene,
Please help me with this problem: I think it's wrong to eat animals and I know it's also healthier to follow a diet with no meat, so I'd like to become a vegetarian. The problem is my mum believes this is not healthy and refuses to cook separate meals for me. So no dinner for me! Do you think is this fair? What would you do in my position?

Thanks very much for your advice!

Dawn

Dear Dawn,
I apologise if I seem hard, but a vegetarian diet is very difficult to follow - please don't invent one. In my opinion you should go and speak to a doctor to check you are eating properly. I believe that it's unfair to treat your mum like a restaurant. If you don't want to eat the family meal, then cook your own.

In Britain, many teenagers take part in work experience programmes as part of their education. This means that they have a job for a few hours per week in a real work situation. The idea of this kind of job is not to earn money, and in fact such jobs are usually unpaid, but to find out what it is like to have a real job. Work experience usually lasts for only a short period - a month, for example - and it is part of school programme, so everyone is able to take part. Obviously, students are not allowed to do dangerous or unsuitable jobs. The general idea is not to train a young person to do a job, just so that they find a similar job when they leave school. The students are given the chance to learn what the world outside school id an how to get on with other people. It is also a chance to think about a possible career, and students can discover what they dislike as well as what they like. In some schools, students take jobs in the school itself, teaching younger pupils or do office work. It all sounds like a good idea, but the main problem is in finding out suitable work for students to do. It is usually a bit easier to do this in large city areas, than in isolated rural communities.
