Megan McCarthy is 14. She lives in Leeds.
I’m 14, but I’m 1.83 metres tall. All my friends are shorter than me and I’m the tallest person in my family. Everyone thinks I’m older than 14. On the bus, they think I’m an adult.
When I started secondary school, everyone stared at me. People were friendlier and more helpful at primary school. But it’s easier now and I’ve got lots of mates.
Clothes are always a problem. I usually buy my clothes at a shop called ‘Long Tall Sally’, but they’re more expensive than ordinary clothes. Shoes are even worse!
There are some advantages. I play basketball and people
say I’m the best player in the school. And tall people often get better jobs and earn more money!
The most difficult thing is that I’m always different from other people. I just want to be the same as everyone else. But I’m tall and I’ll always be tall, so I try to accept it and be positive about it.
1. Why is she different from her friends?
2. Do you think she likes being different?
3. What is the great problem which she always faces?
4. Are there any advantages being a tall person?
5. Does she want to be the same height as the other children?

There is hardly a person in the world who does not like music. most young people can't imagine their lives without it. but what is music ?Is it just a pleasant combination of sounds or a far more complicated notion?
i think that music is a universal languagge understandable to everybody. people compose music in order to express their feelings and emotions. music can fill us energy and make us happy. it's known that classical music makes us feel delighted and relaxed. And on the contrary, rock music and heave metal arause hatred , violence . but some people think that music serves only for entetainment. To my mind , musical compositions by such outstanding composers as Mozart, beethoven and others shoud be listened to attentively and brooded.
