Unit 3: Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.
Section A,1b
Woman: So, what are you doing this afternoon,Anna?
Anna: I'm goning to the mall with John.He just got his driver's license.
Woman: I'm sorry.You can't go with John.I don't think sixteen-yesr-olds should be allowed to drive.They aren't serious enough at that age.
Anna: But I have to go to the mall.Gaby's getting her ears pierced and I want to watch.
Woman: I don't think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to get their ears pierced.They might be sory later.
Anna: I agree,but it's fun to watch.Is it OK if we take the bus?
Woman: Well,I guess so.
Anna: Great! I want to buy a new blouse at the mall,too.
Woman: What kind are you going to buy?Maybe I should go with you.
Anna: Aw,Mom.I'm not a child.I think teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.
Woman: Well,I just want to be sure you get something nice.
