　　Life used to (过去) be interesting for teenagers. They used to have money to spend, and free time to spend it in. They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars (咖啡馆) and discos (迪斯科舞厅). Some of them still do.

But for many young people, life is harder now. Work is difficult to find. There is not so much money around. Things are more expensive, and it's hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they used to.

　　They are less interested in politics(政治), and more interested in passing exams. They know that good exam results may get them better work.

　　Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. They try to spend less and save more. They want to be able to get homes of their own one day.
