1. Listening. Teen Habits

A. Listen to Christine talk about her habits. Complete the chart about Christine.

Hey Christine, listen to this. It’s an article about the habits of an average teenager. It says an average teenager drink 16 cans of soda week. That’s a lot.

Sixteen? Yeah, I don’t 16. I guess I drink two cans a day. and three or four on weekends. so that is about 16 cans a week. Wow, I guess I am average.

and that it says teenagers only eat dinner at home three times a week.

Only three times? I guess they don’t like home cooking!

I guess not. How about you? do you eat dinner at home every night?

Well, not on Saturdays, but five or six times a week.

And do you spend a lot of time online every month?

Well I spend maybe five hours a week. so that’s about 20 hours a month. Yeah, about 20 hours.

20 hours! an average team only spends five hours a month. What you do all the time?

I don’t know … Online shoping?

Oh, okay and how many hours a week do you watch TV? The average teenager watches 20 hours a week.

Yeah I watch a lot of TV too. Yes, I watch about 20, um 25 hours a week.

25 hours! So one day every week you watch TV.

Is that bad? It is, huh?
