Scholieren.com forum - Engels tekstbegrip examen.

Heey,
voor school moeten wij een oefenexamen maken van Engels voor de 4e klas..
heel lastig, want ik zit pas in de 3e.. Ik heb 'm gemaakt, maar weet niet zeker of het goed is. Is er iemand die het voor mij wilt nakijken?

Bij ieder nummer hoort een woord te staan.. je kunt telkens kiezen uit 3/4 opties.
De letters die dikgedrukt staan, dacht ik dat het moesten zijn.

Alvast bedankt !

hy teenagers need mobiles
Text messaging is the
latest way for young
people to feed their urge to
communicate. This is what
Kate Figes wrote about it
in the year 2000…
obile phone users
in the UK are
sending more
than half a billion
text messages a
month, according
to the Mobile Data Association.
My guess is that an increasing
number of them are teenagers
“talking” to each other.
Text messages are 13 , so
children can use them secretly
in class, the modern equivalent
of passing notes under the desk.
There are one million mobile
owners under 15. Nine and tenyear-
olds are the fastest
growing market. This presents
problems for parents, who foot
the bill, and teachers who do
not welcome phones in their
lessons. But mobiles are
important to teenagers and, with
a skill you can only be surprised
at, they use one thumb to tap
out their own telephone
language, such as CU. I believe
it is important to understand
why: they need to talk.
For a teenager, a mobile is an
essential lifeline 14 friends;
they are also cool status
symbols that make them feel
grown up. Teenagers need to
communicate with their friends
all the time, not for an exchange
of essential information or the
occasional chat as adults do, but
to fulfil an essential need of
adolescence.
As teenagers strive for
greater independence, they have
to replace 15 provided by
their parents, with closer contact
with their friends. So they stick
together: girls walk arm in arm,
boys backslap, punch and playfight,
and when they cannot
connect physically, they talk or
text message on the phone.
Mobiles also offer security, a
valuable link to home in case of
emergency, as well as the
freedom to escape from it.
However, mobile phones
may carry a health risk. In July,
David Blunkett, the Secretary of
State for Education and
Employment, wrote to all
schools in England and Wales,
discouraging pupils under 16
from using mobile phones
16 “because they are more
likely to be vulnerable to any
unrecognised health risks from
mobile phone use than are
adults because their nervous
systems are still developing.
Also, because of their smaller
heads, thinner skulls and a more
sensitive tissue structure,
children may absorb more
energy from a mobile phone
than do adults.”
All adolescents know, of
course, that adults have a habit
of denying them access to the
pleasures and the privileges of
grown-up life. Therefore, this
attempt to ban or control
mobiles for the sake of their
health is bound to be as 17
as banning the under-16s from
any other adult pursuit.
Mobile phones are exciting
because they are adult toys, but
they are also central to an adolescent’s
sense of well-being.
Any talk of 18 seems quite
unimportant or remote when the
benefits seem so obvious.
And if the phone companies
were to invest some of their
profits, made from exploiting
this vital teenage need to talk,
into finding ways of making
mobiles safer, now that would
be something!
