1_______

Though the teenage life is full of happiness and sadness, enjoyment and frustrations, it can be interesting! Making friends is part and parcel of a teenager’s life. The teenager should enjoy life by making friends with peers and participate in healthy activities such as camping, jogging, playing football, swimming and so on. Socializing with friends, a teenager learns to make decisions, to joke, laugh and play, to release stress and tension. By making friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys or to ease the bitterness of life troubles.

2_______

Many teenagers are very conscious of their appearance. It is at this part of their life that beauty strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up with the latest trends for clothes, hairstyle and try to look good. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to slim down in order to look attractive. Others may suffer from acne and pimples that may scar their external beauty.

3_______

Another stage is the teenagers’ attitude to love. There are chemical changes in the body and so the teenagers tend to fall in love and have relationship. They experience love and rejection. These sometimes affect their studies.

4_______

Parents tend to control their freedom and often say no to what the teenagers do. Hence, we have cases of disagreements, disputes or quarrels. Both parents and their teenage children should try to understand and support each other.

5_______

The mass media and the Internet also influence the lives of many teenagers. Violent action movies and computer games surfed from the Internet can bring a disastrous effect on a teenager’s life. There will be more harm than good if nothing is done.

One of South America’s mysteries is Easter Island. Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui and Isla de Pascua, 3,600 km (2,237 ml) west of Chile, is a volcanic island with an interesting and partly unknown history. The island was named by the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen because he encountered it on Easter Sunday, 1722. He was the first European to find the island. The official name of the island, Isla de Pascua, means Easter Island in Spanish. This island is famous because of the approximately 887 huge statues which were found there. The statues consist of heads and complete torsos, the largest of which weighs 84 tons! These monuments, called moai, were carved out of compressed volcanic ash, called tuff, which was found at a quarry at a place called Rano Raraku. Statues are still being found. Some of the monuments were left only half-carved. Nobody knows why Rano Raraku was abandoned. It is thought that the statues were carved by the ancestors of the modern Polynesian inhabitants. But the purpose of the statues and the reason they were abandoned remain mysteries.
