My grandparents moved from Wales to Australia in the 1960s because my
grandad didn’t have a job and they wanted a new life. My mum was born on
the ship while they were travelling here! My dad was born in Australia. My
mum’s parents speak English with Welsh accents. Of course, Mum, Dad and

at school. We celebrate all the Polish festivals, like Independence Day on
11th November, with my mum’s family. My dad always has a big party on
New Year’s Eve because he’s Scottish.

My grandparents came to Spain in 1990 when they retired because they like
the sunshine, the food and the people. They live in a retirement village near
Malaga. My mum and dad met while they were both working in a factory
in Birmingham. They didn’t like their jobs so they came here in 1992. Now
they work in hotels. I was born here and it’s my home but I have a British
passport. I speak Spanish all the time – I only use English at home. My
family celebrates British festivals. I celebrate Spanish festivals like Twelfth
Night with my friends.

Dear Teenhelp
I don’t know what to do about our
fifteenyear-old son. My husband says he
is normal
but I don’t agree. He won’t spend any
time
with us. When he comes home, he
goes to
his bedroom where he listens to mu
sic and
uses his computer. His bedroom is
very untidy.
There are clothes, books and school
work on
the floor. When I ask him to tidy his
room or do
the washing-up, he gets angry. I und
erstand
he needs his own space but I’m wor
ried. What
can we do to get our lovely little boy
back?

I agree with your husband. Your son
is normal. He’s growing up and he
is learning to be independent. Most
teenagers aren’t interested in doing the
cleaning – they are thinking about their
friends, their social life and what they
are going to do at the weekend. I’m
sorry but your ‘lovely little boy’ will never
come back. Be patient and I’m sure your
son will become a lovely young man.
This is a common problem. Lots of
teenagers worry about how they look and
what other people think. It isn’t kind to
make a joke about something your sister
is worried about. Why don’t you explain
that a lot of people worry about their
appearance but it doesn’t spoil their
lives? Say kind things about your sister’s
appearance and clothes so she can build
some confidence.

It’s hard to believe but, before the Internet,
students weren’t able to look at millions of
pages of information in their own homes.
They used to do research in libraries. Now,
anyone with a computer and an Internet link
can simply log on and find what they need.
However, there can be problems using the
Internet. 1
There is a lot of information on the Internet.
2
• Choose a search engine like Google or
Yahoo.
• Think carefully about what you want to
find and choose a few important words.
• Type in the key words.
• Restrict your search by putting quotation
marks around phrases.
• Bookmark the websites you think are
most useful.
Anyone can write a website so don’t believe
everything you read. 3
• Check the date of the page.
• Check facts in different places.
• Only use pages you trust.
• Learn to see the difference between facts
and opinions.
It’s easy to cut and paste information but
it’s dishonest. 4
• Don’t cut and paste information.
• Don’t just change one or two words – it’s
still cheating!
• Use the information to make your own
notes.
• Use your notes to write your project.
Remember! Copying information doesn’t
