B1 – Intermediate<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost everyone belongs to a family. We can’t imagine to exist without someone else who cared for us when we were young.  We need a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else is the meaning of family to you? The following article lets you know the response of other teens and young adults about how their families make them happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the article below and be ready to answer the questions that follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes teens and twenty-somethings happy? According to a survey, spending time with family made people in this age group the most happy. Time with friends came in second place, and time with a boyfriend or girlfriend came in third place. Almost no one said money brought happiness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seventy-three percent said that a good relationship with their parents made them feel good. In addition, when they looked for a role model, almost half of the people who took the questionnaire mentioned one of their parents. Moms ranked higher than dads, though.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the discoveries were less positive. White people generally felt happier than black people or Hispanics in all economic categories. And as for stress, kids had a 10% higher rate than adults. Younger respondents said school stressed them out the most. Older people were worried about jobs and finances.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey also wanted to know whether today’s youth will remain happy in the future. Sixty-two percent of teens believed the future will bring more happiness. However, they also expect to have a more difficult life than their parents.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
