TEXT 2 Read the text and say what is so special about the life of the Hollywood kids. The Hollywood Kids In Hollywood everyone wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they are grown up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious, and the children are the part of their parents' ambitions. Parents pay for extravagant parties, expensive cars, and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids learn the value of nothing because they have everything. A 13-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards, and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants. “One day, I’ll earn more than my Dad,” he boasts. Parents buy care and the attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda’s mother employs a personal trainer, a nutritionist, a bodyguard/chauffeur, a singing coach, and a Counselor to look after all 15-year-old daughters’ needs. Often there is no parent at home most days. So children decide whether to make their own meals or to go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they are ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids in L. A. (Los Angeles) live unreal lives where money, beauty, and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around soon start to think the same? Or do they already? “Looks are very important in Hollywood. If you are good-looking, you’ll go far. I want to be a beautician. You grow up really fast in L. A. Everyone is in a rush to be an adult, to be going to clubs. It’s not cool to be a kid.” Mijanou, aged 18. “I live in a hotel and when I come home from school, there are may be 80 people who say “Good day” to me. It’s their job to say that. In the bathroom there are mirrors everywhere. I love looking at myself. I can spend five hours doing my hair and posing. I’m going to be a model.” Emily, aged 10. “I’ve wanted to get my nose done since I was 12. My friends started having plastic surgery and liposuction during my freshman year of high school. My nose cost 10,000 dollars. But it was worth of it. It changed my life. I’m gonna get into the movies.” Lindsey, aged 18. “Everyone thinks that Hollywood is glamorous, but I have news for you. It is really dangerous to grow up in L. A. People have guns. Sometimes I think I’m going crazy. I’m going to get out of here just as soon as I can.” Zavier, aged 18. Exercises. 1.

School is compulsory till the children are 16 years old. In Primary School and First School children learn to read and write; they also study the basis of arithmetic. In the higher classes of Primary School (or in Middle School) children learn Geography, History, Religion and, in some schools, a foreign language. Then children go to the Secondary School. When students are 16 years old, they may take an exam in various subjects in order to have a qualification. These qualifications can be either G.C.S.E. (General Certificate of Secondary Education) or "O level" (Ordinary level). After that students can either leave school and start working or continue their studies in the same school as before. If they continue, when they are 18, they have to take further examinations which are necessary for getting into university or college. Some parents choose private schools for their children. They are very expensive but considered to provide a better education and good job opportunities.
