an interview  with Marcia Clark

can i ask you a few questions?

sure you can

what do you do?

i write Teen trouble. i answer letters from teebagers and make suggestions

how do teens contact you?

ok most of the letters are e-mails

Teenagers e-mail the magazine, then the magazine sends the e-mails me. i read about 50 e-mails every day. i choose a few very interesting letters for the magazine

can we see the e-mails?

Absolutely not! teenagers share serious problems with me. sometimes they are secret.You can read the letters that we put in the magazine,but you can't read the others

what about telling us about the main problems teens write about?

that's a good idea. a lot of teens ask for permission to do things:"can i get a tattoo?","can dye my hair blue?"their parents say "no" , so they ask me.but i can't say"i'll think about it" or "sorry,you can't". that isn't  my job! So i say "what about talking to your parents?" or " why don't you wait and think about it?"

i make suggestions

thank you for talking with us

you're welcomel

1 why can't you read all of the letters?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question.

These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.

Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.

But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.

In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people , but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.

It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else.

If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear

A. strange clothes

B. your native clothes

C. as the people there do

D. comfortable clothes
