Simas PociusМыслитель (8834)2/2

The media, that giant intimidating creation has taken the stereotypes of teens, the way people view teens, and the way we view ourselves, and has turned it into a delusional monster. The media at this point in time portrays teenagers as generally bad. Well to be honest, not generally bad, but mostly horrible. We are seen as the cause for alarm and trouble in society. The media portrays us as manic delinquents with no solid past and no concrete future.
The main points of teenagers that are warped into a lie are appearance and generalization of actions. The media spreads the idea that just because some teens choose to get more piercing done, or a tattoo, or decide to get a different hair color that it is somehow related to a dysfunctional sector of society. People have to realize that the adolescent/teenager portion of ones life is a time of self realization and expression. Teens are just finding these things as outlets for emotion and expression. The media uses these things and utilizes them in a sort of campaign to portray us as bad and untrusting.
Teens are not only portrayed as delinquents but also as disloyal, jobless, untrusting monsters. The media causes the public following to assume that all teenagers are bad and immoral just because of a few that have done things wrong. And even when a teen does something wrong, that too is sensationalized. We do not generalize that all adults are killers and rapists just because a few have chosen the «wayward path.» In that sense, it contradicts one of the many other facets that the media represents unfairly. Teenagers are seen as immature and with no future. But are we not more mature than our adult role models by not generalizing about them?
И ниже приведены типа отзывы — можна выбрать пару фраз
This essay is about how society is generalizing teens so that we are all the same. Girls are all at risk of having sex and getting pregnant, but that’s not true. Guys are stereotyped as pot-smokers and drug-users and overall punks. That’s not true either. Society needs to improve their vision and look a little closer.
It is true that we as teenagers are put under a microscope nowadays, and this increases the chances of our «rebeliousness». However, it may be different in every country, as I have not felt such a harsh treatment here, in my country. It is always interesting to learn how people my age are seen in other places.
I feel I can really relate to this in so many ways. Just with the fact that I’ve seen so many people casting immediate judgement without any regard to the person they’re judging at hand. I’m certain so many people in our generation can relate to.

Boris woke up when it was already quite light. He looked at his watch. It was a quarter to seven. Boris jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. He had just time to take a cold shower and drink a glass of tea with bread and butter. He was in a hurry to catch the eight o’clock train.

Hello friends,

I need your help with the following problem.
There are three sentences, with a gap in each of them.
I need to find the one single word (and only one) which can fill all the three gaps and fit properly.

1. I’m sure Maria will ………. for the beach as soon as she’ll be unpacked.

2. How do you think Frizt will …….. each month, with his new job ?

3. He’s achieving great results, I’m sure the management will ……. him sales manager next year.

I couldn’t find anything better than «head», but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong.
A guy who was at the exam with me tried «drive», which is also wrong.
Any suggestions ?

Ciao
Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Is there a word missing from the second sentence?

Cloudy-aw said:

Hello friends,

1. I’m sure Maria will ………. for the beach as soon as she’ll be unpacked.

Can future tense be after as soon as?
If my memories serve me right, my teacher said never.

You’re right, Erik. It should read:

1. I’m sure Maria will …….. for the beach as soon as she’s [she has] unpacked.

Neever

Hi Claudio,

I can’t find a word that does all three, but I have to say, sentences 1 and 2 sound wrong regardless. «as soon as she’ll be unpacked» is ungrammatical, like you said, and «each month, with his new job ?» seems to have a misplaced comma, and at first glance «with» is incorrect too. «In» would work better, as long as the missing word doesn’t change the structure. Mind you, my observation still doesn’t help much! Sorry!

I think the missing word for all three is «make»:

…she’ll make for the beach

How much will Fritz make each month

…management will make him sales manager…

Hello Claudio,

The obvious answer, to me, is «make». But, as La Grive says, there seems to be something missing in the second sentence. That would need the addition of «out» — «How do you think Fritz will make out each month . . . ?»

Regards,
LRV

3. He’s achieving great results, I’m sure the management will MAKE him sales manager next year.

Claudio

Omitted words and other errors MAKE this difficult to correct!

Thank you for your kind and prompt replies.

At the exam I couldn’t take note of the sentences, therefore I obviously stuffed them with errors when I tried (with the only help of my memory) to type them in the first post of this thread.

Anyway you all agree that the word is «make».
I have another question : is «make for the beach» a bit colloquial ? I ask because I have never seen such a form. Is it BE ? Or AE ?

Ciao and thank you again
Claudio

In BE I say «head for the beach».

Regards,
LRV

I agree with Joelline. Even without the mistakes, it is very difficult. I´d guess that «make for» is both BE and AE, though I´ll let the Americams speak for themselves. It´s certainly BE, though a bit unusual, perhaps more written than spoken?

In AE I have heard and understand «make for the beach,» although its not the primary way of saying it. We usually say «head to the beach» or «go to the beach.» I am sure there are other but thats all I can think of at the moment.

Let me offer sincere sympathy and suggest that you reserve the right to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is cruel and unusual punishment, not a legitimate examination in the use of English.

I’ll accept that it is possible to use make in each of these sentences. But I stress possible and assert that it is unnatural.

These are questions that come out in FCE, CAE and CPE.

Here are my attempts:

1. head

2. fare

3. name

Ooops, Cracker Jack,

Go back and read the nasty directions again. That was our problem: you had to use the 1 word (the same word) in all 3 sentences!

It is for this reason that the Europeans here will be appealing to the European Court of Human Rights, and the Americans will be appealing to the Supreme Court! This was, indeed, cruel and unusual punishment!

Best,
Joelline

If the second sentence is «How much do you think he will make each month, with his new job?», is «make» the correct word then?

Hi coconut palm,

Yes, and that’s what I changed it to in post #8.

Joelline

Oh, I’m sorry that I didn’t notice the quote!
I promise I will pay more attention next time!
Thank you, Joelline, for confirming my assumption!

Oh gee!!! Thanks for reminding me Joelline. That was very careless of me. Well, you have all the right to deplore those bastard-examiners. Not just cruel and usual. It is stupid. Go ahead.

«Make for» meaning to go to, or head in the direction of, is not
used with any frequency in AE. It’s found quite a bit in 19th and early 20th century writing, but has fallen out of favor in recent decades.

Except for occasional appearances, one of them being the written part of the CPE exam I tried last week…
I agree with Cracker Jack’s opinion, although my view is not so mild.

Ciao
Claudio

My understanding is that Cambridge questions are tested and a sufficient number of ‘guinea pigs’ must have answered the question for it to have been shown to help in grading candidates’ English ability.

I don’t feel «make for the beach» is so unusual.

It’s not unusual if you’re reciting dialogue in a WW II movie about the beaches at Normandy! Otherwise, when is the last time you said it or heard someone say it?
