Organise information from the passage and complete the diagram.
I think it’s strange that I can now take __________________. Yet I still can’t vote – I don’t think that’s fair, given that ______________________________________. I should have a say on _________________________________. I’m mature enough to _____________________________________________________________________________________________.

understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people
At 18, I can do things like getting a credit card. More importantly, I can act on my desire to help others, for example by ______________________________. But although a lot of doors have opened for me, there are still

I thought that once I was 18 and in a full-time job I’d be able to ________________________, but my salary is not high enough, I also find it hard to save money because of __________________ and high commuting costs.

the household bills
What new responsibilities will this freedom bring
Responsibility and freedom go together. Being adult means taking responsibility for our own lives and the lives of other people. Besides, we need to learn to make good decisions on our own. What’s more, we should remember that some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
Work in pairs and discuss the question.
Read the sentences from the passage and decide if they are facts (F) or opinions (O).
Post-reading
1 Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should
be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them!______

3 When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. ______

Look for more opinions in the passage and talk about whether you agree with them.
Do you think the minimum age limits in the passage are sensible Why or why not
I think the minimum age limits are sensible. Adults have to take many responsibilities. Being too young means he or she has no ability to face troubles and 、difficulties in life.
What right are you most looking forward to having as an adult Why
I’m most looking forward to making big decisions without asking my parents. I know it will be difficult but I really want to experience the feeling of independence. And I have the confidence that I can overcome all the difficulties.
What do you think it means to be a responsible adult
I think being a responsible adult means standing up for yourself and what you want. You should be brave enough to adapt yourself to the change and take responsibility positively. Besides, you have to learn to say “no” when facing temptation.
How can you use the language you have learnt in the passage to express your ideas clearly
From the passage I learned that when expressing ideas or opinions, I can use facts to support and strengthen them. By giving facts, I can make my opinion stronger and more convincing.
