People often say that living with teenagers is worse than living with any other age group. But is this true?
Yes, sometimes it’s really difficult living with teenagers. But it isn’t only their (old/ years/ age)1 ………., it’s also the type of people they are. My two sons are (completion/ completely/ complete)2 ………. different. Tom’s easier to live with than Harry. Harry’s a typical moody fifteen-year-old. He’s (a lot/ bit/ more)3 ………. noisier and more aggressive than Tom, and he isn’t as considerate. (Because/ So/ But)4 ………. he’s much harder to live with. But Harry’s got his good side too. He’s very bright and his exam results are always better than Tom’s.
Tom’s two years older (more/ as/ than)5 ………. Harry, so he’s more mature and (little/ few/ less)6 ………. stubborn than his brother. He’s also a bit more patient and can be very helpful when he wants (being/ to be/ be)7 ………. . But he’s got bigger problems at school. He’s as intelligent as Harry, but he’s much lazier and his exam results are always worse than his brother’s. Harry wants to be a pilot when he (leaves/ will leave/ left)8 ………. school, but Tom doesn’t know what he wants to do.
In some ways I’m a bit more worried about Harry because he isn’t as happy as Tom. But I also worry about Tom because he hasn’t got any plans (about/ in/ for)9 ………. his future. Yes, life is hard living with teenagers, but I (miss/ am missing/ will miss)10………. them when they leave home.
