Why the voting age should be 6

– It’s unfair that you can join the

army, but not be able to vote.

– many 16-year-olds have jobs

and pay taxes so they should

be able to vote.

Why the voting age should be 8

– lots of 16-year-olds don’t know

anything about politics and

can’t make informed decisions.

– many 16-year-olds don’t pay

taxes, drive cars, own houses,

and still live with their parents

so policies don’t affect them.

pp. 1 2–13

1D, 2B, 3C, 4E, 5A

You must not drink alcohol, take drugs or drive under the

influence of drugs, or use a mobile phone while driving.

It is safest to have no alcohol or drugs in your system at all.

1 It can slow down your reactions or over-stimulate you and

cause you to take risks. It could make you less reactive,

make you sleepy, and reduce your concentration.

2 The only safe option is to not drink any alcohol; even a

small amount affects your driving.

3 Drugs can make your reactions slow down, and make you

less co-ordinated. Drugs can make you sleepy or take risks.

4 Speaking on a mobile phone while you are driving is a

distraction. Driving at the same time as speaking on a

phone can cause accidents because while you are talking on

the phone you are not concentrating on the road.

5 If the pedestrian is speaking on the phone or sending

a text message while crossing the road, he/ she is not

concentrating on the road.
