2 thoughts, but she does that via anonymous platforms like Snapchat or Yukia. Although Gen Z's literally live in social media, they favour peer-to-peer social media and online anonymity. Teens actively seek so-called ‘pockets’ where they can be unfiltered and worry less about making mistakes. Here we come to the essence. The described differences in attitudes are crucial when it comes to understanding and raising your Gen Z kid. Simply put, don't take kids gadgets away. They really need them. Don't “Because I said so!” on them. Try to explain and convince. Don't hold them back from following their ambitions. It's their inspiration. Respect to their privacy, including online. Everyone needs some space. And please don't bore them with long talks. Their attention span is 8 seconds. Lecture any longer and they're (snoring sound). After all, parents just want their kid to be well and live a happy life. Understanding your child by learning about their motivations and values is the eminent step towards this noble goal. So, go on and step up. Part 2. You will hear an interview with Sharon Gravy, who has just published a book on youth culture and illness. For questions 6-10, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which best fits what you hear. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes on your answer sheet.

A. youngsters show no interest in food B. eating disorders are not a major problem C. they are too strict about what they eat D. issues unrelated to food affect what they eat Question 7: The rise in the number of cases of “tinnitus” is alarming because ____________.

A. are often ignorant of potential treatments B. ignore symptoms C. do not care enough about prevention D. are not prepared to pay for treatments Question 9: As far as exposure to the sun is concerned, Sharon feels that many young people ____________. A. underestimate the risks B. do not know that it can lead to skin cancer C. should opt for sun ray lamp treatment D. distrust statistics Question 10: Sharon feels the number of problems would be fewer if young people ____________. A. joined more groups B. showed more independence C. were more adventurous D. learned to recognise symptoms TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: I am delighted to have with me today Sharon Gravy, a doctor and prolific popular author, whose new book ‘Youth Ills’ kept me riveted in my armchair all weekend. Sharon, welcome.
4 pressure to join in can make people put up with a lot, put themselves at risk or develop slack habits that they otherwise wouldn’t (10). The basic message has to be: if there is a symptom, there’s a wider problem - sort the problem. Interviewer: Sharon Gravy, thank you... Part 3. Listen to a podcast on climate change and decide whether the following statements are True (T), False (F) according to what you hear. Question 11. A 1.5 degree rise in temperature makes virtually no difference to the world we are living in. F Question 12. There is little likelihood of the aviation undergoing carbon neutral due to some governments’ objections. T Question 13. Annually, the number of people suffering from exceptional heatwaves increases by 65 million. T Question 14. Notwithstanding the melted ice rivers, the number of people lacking water for daily lives will increase twofold. T Question 15. Continually rising carbon emission is synonymous with a world ridden with disasters. T TRANSCRIPT If the temperature outside changes by half a degree, you won't even feel it. Such a small change is almost imperceptible to human senses. But half a degree of global temperature change could be little short of the end of the world we recognise (11). Or at least the world humanity has inhabited for the last few millennia. In 2015, governments agreed a deal in Paris to stop global warming rising past 2 degrees and to try to keep it below 1.5 degrees. So what's in half a degree? At 1.5 degrees, there would still be some precious rainforests, polar bears and coral reefs on planet Earth, albeit seriously diminished. Sea levels would rise, but relatively slowly, so major cities like London, Jakarta and Mumbai have a better chance of continuing life as normal. Drought and flooding would be at a level where food production can keep up with population growth. Millions of extra climate refugees could stay at home and others could avoid starvation. Getting to this world isn't impossible, it means cutting greenhouse gas emissions by half within a decade. And then being carbon neutral by mid-century. So we'd be closing coal power stations instead of building new ones and every car would be electric. We'd be restoring forests instead of cutting them down, and even aircraft would be carbon neutral. It's not impossible, but it is unlikely. The fossil fuels lobby is powerful. Some heads of state even deny the reality of climate change (12). Transforming the global energy system will take time, and trillions of dollars of investment. But it's also an opportunity.
