Read what Anna, Brad and Colin say about their lives. Complete the sentences with the correct name.

1) ________ wants a dog?

The best years of the life?

Anna

Everyone keeps telling me that these are the best days of my life but it doesn't always feel like that to me! I had quiet difficult time as a teenager - all the boyfriend dramas, friendship problems, fights with Mom and Dad, so I am really glad all that's behind me. But I thought my life would be sorted out when I go to my thirties and it's not that simple. I love my job, I'm a doctor - but I haven't got a social life because I'm working all the time. And I'm still paying off my student loan, I owe more than 30,000 pounds. Unless I manage to pay it off I won't be able to pay for my own children's education

Brad

My life's brilliant I'm in a band with my friends Zac and Sanjay. I play the guitar and sing. We want to be famous one day. School's okay but it's a bit boring. I'd rather be out with my friends, playing football or playing computer games. If I was Prime Minister, I wouldn't make kids go to school all day. I'd make them go to school for just 3 days a week with 4 days for the weekend. That would be good. One thing that's bad at the moment is that I want a dog but my mom says we can't get one because they smell. She says I can get one when I leave home. But that won't be for ages! Sanjay's got a dog and Zac's got two! Why can't I get one? It's not fair.

Colin

Some people think that they are going to be happy when they get a boyfriend or girlfriend, or move house, or get more money. But if you think like that, you'll never be happy! I think the best years of your life are where you are now. You can't always be waiting to be happy. In some ways I feel happier now than I did when I was young. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time worrying about things that don't matter. If I have learned anything it's that very few things are actually that important - only your family and your health. Of course, I can't do all the things I used to do when I was younger - my legs are pretty bad these days, but I still manage to get out for a walk. What makes me happy nowadays it's just sitting in the garden on a sunny day or spending time with my grandchildren. I have got seven, you know!
