1. Speaking about a TV presenter

I would like to speak about Graham Norton. He is from Ireland, but he works mostly on British television. He presents The Graham Norton Show. In this programme he talks to actors, singers and other famous people.

I like him because he is funny, friendly and very natural. His interviews are not boring, and his guests usually feel comfortable. He can make people laugh without being rude.

2. Answers to the questions

• I think one of the greatest problems facing teenagers today is stress. Many teenagers worry about school, exams, their future and social networks.
• Fashion can affect a teenager’s life because clothes help people show their personality. But it is important not to follow fashion blindly and not to judge people only by their clothes.
• Teenagers of the 19th century usually started adult life earlier and had fewer rights and opportunities. Teenagers of the 21st century study longer, use technology every day and have more freedom, but they also face more information pressure.

3. About job and money

I think it is important to enjoy your job. Good pay is important because people need money for life, but if a person hates their work, they may feel tired and unhappy every day. The best choice is a job that is interesting and also gives enough money.
