1. For many young people aerosol art is just as serious as wall painting was for their prehistoric ancestors. Graffiti is
very personal to the teenager who produces it. The motivation behind a piece of graffiti can be happiness or sadness,
frustration or relief.
For some artists, graffiti is a reaction to what happens in their lives. For this reason, it is an art
form that is very close to the hearts of the young.
2. I am allowed to do what I like with it. I don’t
have a lot of space, but it is my favourite place, so I spend a lot of
time there. 1 am the youngest in the family so 1 also have a lot of old toys on the shelves. I sometimes
get bored
with the way it is and when I do I change it round. I often move the bed and change the posters on the walls. I’ve
asked my parents for a television but I don’t think I’d get one.
3. I have been playing video games since I was ten. I am now fifteen and I can’t get rid of my habit. These days I
play for about twenty-five hours a week. Playing video games stops me from exercising and playing basketball and
I have no time for friends. Many of the games are very violent but I don’t take them seriously. They are just fun. I
think the main problem with games is that they are too much fun.
4. First impressions are vital.
For many employers, neat and tidy hair and smart clothes are as important as
qualifications. What factors contribute to that vital first impression? It varies a lot according to our culture. For
example, in the United States tall people are considered more reliable and serious in business. In many cultures
physically attractive people
are thought of as warmer, kinder, more sociable and even more intelligent.
5. Dean Palmer is fourteen years old. He may also use the names Dick Page or Daryl Preston. He has short fair hair
and is of medium height and slim build. He wears glasses. He was last seen wearing jeans,
a brown leather jacket
and black trainers. If he is at your school, or has ever been admitted into the school,
please telephone the police
immediately.
6. I’m known as Chase. That’s my tag. When I started I would go out at night with a few friends and just painted
football slogans and things like that on any wall I could find I suppose it was a way of making a statement.
Eventually I got caught. I still continue to express my feelings with the help of aerosol painting,
but these days I get
permission first.
7. These people just want to get attention. Some people call them artists but many citizens really don’t think that a
scribble on the wall is art. In fact, graffiti is a serious social problem as it causes great damage. It ruins the
appearance of towns and cities and cleaning it up costs a lot of money.
