Teenagers argue a lot with their grandparents.


Researchers interviewed students from the University
of Glasgow.
About 150 people were interviewed in the study.
Grandparents are helpful when children argue with their
parents.
Only young children are very close to their grandparents.
Its easy for teenagers to talk to their grandparents.
Grandparents sometimes help with money.
Older people cant learn about modern technology.

Write true sentences. Use


make or let and the ideas in
the lists.

Forget the generation gap teenagers say


their best friends are their grandparents
Dont believe that teenagers and adults argue all the time teenagers
and their grandparents get on very well together. Researchers at the
University of Glasgow have done a study on the relationship between
teenagers and their older relatives.
They interviewed seventy-ve young people aged tennineteen,
5
and seventy-three older people aged between fty and their late
eighties. The study shows that grandparents play a very important role
in families. They look after children, and they give a link to the past.
They can also help when there are disagreements between teenagers
10 and parents.
Most people believe that only very young children have a close
relationship with grandparents. This is because they often take care
of the children when parents are at work or out in the evening. The
study shows that when children become teenagers, they are still very
15 close to their grandparents. Although teenagers spend more time with
friends than with their grandparents, many young people say that their
grandparents are very important to them.

So, in what ways are grandparents important?


They are good listeners. Its easy for teenagers to share their
problems and express their feelings with their grandparents.
20
They help to look after children and they can provide nancial
help in small ways, like pocket money, and in bigger ways, like
school fees.
They help young people develop respect and responsibility. They
also help communication in a family.
25
They know a lot about a familys history and so can help teenagers
understand about the past.
And what are the advantages for older people?
They can have fun with their grandchildren and take part in
different activities.
30
They can stay active and be part of the modern world.
They often learn about modern technology so they can keep up
with their grandchildren.
There is a lot of negative news about the generation gap, so its good
35 to hear that older people and teenagers can be good friends.

1 About twelve million years ago, a volcano erupted in


southwest Idaho. It spread a thick layer of ash over a very
large area. Most of the animals in the area survived the
volcano, but as they ate the grass, their lungs began to fill
up with the ash. Soon their lungs became badly damaged
and they began to die.
2 The smaller animals died first and after perhaps three to
five weeks, the last of the larger mammals could no longer
survive. Their bodies were quickly covered by the ash,
which was blowing and moving across the area.
3 The bodies were not moved over the years that followed
and so the skeletons of these animals were preserved in
their final positions. Some of them still have their last
meal in their mouth and stomach, and their last steps are
preserved in the stone.
4 In 1971, Mike Voorhies, a palaeontologist who studies
fossil animals with backbones, found the complete
skeleton of a rhino in an ancient water hole. It was one
of hundreds of skeletons at the Ashfall Fossil Site. These
include large mammals, birds, and turtles, as well as seeds
of grasses and trees.
5 Twelve species of mammals have been found including
five species of horse, three species of camel, and three
types of dog. The most common species is teleoceros
major, a type of rhino. There are so many skeletons of this
animal that the main part of Ashfall is called the Rhino
Barn.
6 Ashfall opened to the public on 1st June 1991. There is
a Visitor Centre with information displays and a fossil
preparation laboratory. Each summer, visitors can watch
palaeontologists at work in the Rhino Barn, which covers
a section of the fossil bed. New fossils are left exactly as
they were found.
7 Ashfall is open between May and October. For days and
times, please see the website or call the Visitor Centre.
School and tour groups can make advance reservations
between 1st April and 20th October.
