Test Form 8

I. Read the text twice and choose the correct answer for each question.

13-year-old Alessandra talks about her favourite chatroom, Teen-Age

I joined a chatroom called Teen-Age last month. A classmate read about it in a magazine and told

me all about it. She said it’s a really great way to make friends with people in other countries. And

she was right!

Everyone on the chatroom is a teenager. We share information about home life, music and films.

Friends that I chat to often ask me about school life in Britain. One friend in Spain sometimes asks

me to write the words of English songs for her. My favourite thing is finding out how to prepare food

people eat in different countries.

Some of my friends on Teen-Age live on the other side of the world, so when I chat to them at

lunchtime, it’s nearly midnight where they are. My parents like it that I have international friends, but

they get upset if I’m chatting to people all evening. They always want me to finish my homework

first.

Chatting to people online is different from chatting to people at school. Some people at school

aren’t very friendly and don’t want to talk much, but everyone I’ve met on Teen-Age is really nice. It’s

easy to talk about problems with them and they usually give good advice.

Many of my schoolfriends have joined several chatrooms, but I won’t ever do that. I like the online

friends I have now, so I’ll keep using Teen-Age. If I have friends in different chatrooms, it’ll be too

hard to chat to them all.
