Это опрос о собственном мнении; ответы служат образцом. На вопрос «How old» называем возраст в годах. В вопросах «What do you like/dislike» нужны качества человека, поэтому выбираем «I like my sense of humour» и «I dislike my impatience», а не односложные yes/no. «What do you think your friends like» спрашивает предположение о взгляде друзей: используем «I think they like…». Для причины переживаний подростков подходит «because»; в последнем вопросе «would» просит дать совет, поэтому используем «I would tell…». Перевод: Мне
- I’m fourteen years old.
- I like my sense of humour because I can make my friends laugh.
- I dislike my impatience, and I am trying to become calmer.
- I think my friends like the fact that I listen to them and help them.
- I think teens worry about their appearance because they often compare themselves with other people.
- I would tell my friend that appearance is only one part of a person and that their kindness matters much more.
