If you‟ve been let down by a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you‟re probably hurting. It‟s not stupid or childish to feel like this. Your boyfriend or girlfriend has told you they don‟t want to go out with you anymore. You feel rejected, alone, unwanted and miserable. You had thought that this relationship would last forever and now it‟s over. Let‟s be honest –it‟s a terrible feeling. Maybe the worst feeling you‟ve ever felt. Perhaps you feel that life‟s not worth living and you‟ll never get over it. You probably feel that no-one has ever left this way before It may sound impossible now, but you‟ll get over it. It just takes time. And you‟re not alone – almost everyone goes through this at some point in their life. It‟s an important part of growing up and actually makes us stronger. What you mustn‟t do is think that you‟ve failed. Remember: relationships aren‟t like exams. If a friend came between you and your boyfriend or girlfriend and helped cause the relationship to end, you‟ll be dealing with feelings of betrayal as well. If your parents or friends disapproved of your relationship, you might also feel humiliated and embarrassed about discussing how you feel. These feelings are normal, but it does help to talk. Try talking to your parents and friends – they may be more sympathetic than you think. Ask your parents about their first relationships. The chances are they went through similar experiences. Don‟t do anything impulsive. It might seem a good idea to go out and get a tattoo or your nose pierced, but you‟ll probably regret it in a few days. That doesn‟t mean you shouldn‟t treat yourself: how about buying some new clothes or getting a new hairstyle? Is there a film you‟ve been wanting to see at the cinema for ages? Not sure whether to go to that party you‟d been invited to? Go! And if you‟re worried that your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend might be there, let them see you can have a good time without them. That‟ll make you feel a lot better! Sometimes couples who split up get back together and sometimes they don‟t. Don‟t sit around waiting for your ex to call to say they‟ve made a big mistake and you should start going out with each other again. The chances are that won‟t happen, but it‟s actually more likely to come about if you just get on with your life rather than sit at home waiting for the phone to ring. It may sound corny, but there are plenty more fish in the sea. You will – in time – find someone new. But don‟t be tempted to rush into another relationship. This is called going out with someone on the rebound. This kind of relationship rarely works, as you‟re not together for the right reasons. Give it a little time before you start your next relationship. Code 121 2
3. Here‟s one other thing to remember. You‟ve just experienced one of the most traumatic things that people experience. From now on, things can only get better. Each day, you‟ll feel slightly less unhappy. In a week, it will be bearable. In a month, you‟ll be able to laugh about it. In a year, it will all seem ancient history. You‟ve got a lot of life ahead of you – look to the future and go out and enjoy yourself! Question 26. According to the writer, heartbroken teenagers often feel that they _______.

Do you think education is better now than it was in your grandparents' time? Many older people in the UK believe the opposite. “Schools were better in our day,” they complain. “There isn't enough discipline these days. Kids don't work as hard as we did, either. The syllabus isn't as challenging, so clever students aren't being stretched enough. They need to study things in greater depth. Exams are much, much easier now as well.” Were schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a 1950s boarding school. They got a big surprise! The first shock came when the teenagers met their new teachers. Dressed in traditional black gowns, they look so frosty and uncaring! They were really authoritarian, too, so anyone caught breaking the rules - talking in classes, mucking about in the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included writing 'lines' or staying after class to do detention. The naughtiest kids were expelled. Things were just as bad after class. At meal times the students had to endure a diet of plain, no-nonsense, healthy food. Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the Internet wasn't an option, as personal computers didn't exist in the 1950s! At the end of 'term' everyone sat 1950s-style exams. The old exams were much longer than their twenty-first century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by heart. History papers were all dates and battles. Maths papers were trickier, too; calculators weren't around in the 1950s, so the students had to memorise multiplication tables and master long division. Our candidates found this really difficult. The exam results surprised a lot of people. Students predicted to do well in their real-life, twenty-first century exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams. Does this prove modern exams are too easy? Do twenty-first century kids rely too much on modern technology, like calculators and computers? The TV series of That 'll teach 'em! focused on a 1960s vocational school. UK school-kids study a range of academic subjects these days. But in the 1960s, children judged to be less „able' went to vocational schools. These Code 121 4
5. helped them learn job skills. Boys studied subjects like metalwork, woodwork or gardening. In some classes, they even learned how to milk goats! The girls' timetables included secretarial skills. They also learned to cook, clean and sew - probably not much fun for most girls. (Source: Activate! B2) Question 43. What criticism is sometimes made about modern education in the first paragraph? A.
