Anna, a schoolgirl
Clip1 Anna
At the moment, I like boys with quite long hair. Also they’d have to be quite a lot like me, like the same things, but not treat me like a girl, treat me more like a friend. I have seen the perfect boy actually, whom I walk past everyday as I go to school. He’s absolutely gorgeous2(帅哥). But boys in general, as long as they’ve got a good personality, although that sounds like a cliché, it is true, that is the only thing that really matters - but good taste in music and clothes also helps!
Sue3: Anna is 15 years old, and she goes to Prendergast school - a secondary school in South East London. Like most teenagers, Anna’s very interested in pop music and clothes, and she juggles(变戏法,巧妙的处理) school studies with spending time with her friends. During the programme, we’ll hear Anna talk about where she lives, and her favourite pop bands. First, Anna describes her bedroom at home. In one corner, there are the treasures of a much younger Anna - dolls and teddy bears. But there is plenty of evidence of her current passions for fashion magazines and pop music, especially a kind of American pop music called grunge(蹩脚货,难看的东西,乏味的东西). Anna even describes herself as a “grunger”!
Clip Anna
I’ve got loads of posters on the walls of my favourite bands - which are grunge bands and metal bands - and I have a desk with my work concealed4 inside and next to my bed I’ve got a CD player and speakers and a radio. I also enjoy reading magazines as you’ll notice - on my floor we have a lot of magazines spread everywhere which I haven’t tidied up yet. And in the corner of my room I still have my dolls’ house which I’ve had since I was about 4. This is kind of a memory of days gone by when I was a little girl and not a grunger. I also have dolls and teddies which I still love very much and I can’t bring myself to get rid of them, so they have to stay there.
Sue: In another corner of Anna’s bedroom is her guitar, and she’s recently learnt to play several pop songs. So, on a typical weekday evening, before she settles down to do her homework, Anna practises playing songs like Live Forever by Oasis5. Oasis is one of the most successful British pop bands of the 1990s. As well as playing the guitar, Anna listens to something from her CD collection almost everyday!
 
Clip Anna
When I get in from school, I generally like to put some music on and listen to rock music, grunge or metal - which is kind of guitar based music. I like to listen to Nirvana, Bush, Placebo6 but I also like Oasis which I’ve liked for quite a few years now and I also like to play the music on the guitar and sing it. And Live Forever by Oasis is one of the first songs I actually learnt to play on the guitar which I’m quite proud of and memories of that song often come back to me.
Sue: Now Anna introduces us to her best friend, Rebecca. They’re both in the same class at school, and they both face GCSE exams in a few weeks’ time. GCSE stands for General Certificate in Secondary Education - these are the major public exams taken by students at the age of 15 or 16 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. To get a place at college, you have to achieve good results in about 6 GCSE exams - so for students like Anna and Rebecca, the pressure is on! The girls first met when they were 11 years old.
 
Clip Anna
My best friend is Rebecca Toogood. We’ve known each other for going on about four or five years now, I can’t tell exactly what it is but we first met at this school when we both started in the first year. I don’t remember exactly how met, but I think we were talking about subjects - it was one of the first days of school and I think we just hit it off. Occasionally there are clashes7 and we have occasional tiffs(争执,口角) I think but underneath8 it all we are very good friends and I think the fact that we do occasionally fight shows how close we are to each other - it’s more like almost sisters than friends because we can talk about anything and we do a lot of stuff together. I think we’re alike in that we both know what we want and we’re both quite determined9 to get that. Also we like the same music and have the sort of same tastes in boys and clothes and a lot of things really, television programmes, but the differences are that perhaps Rebecca is more forceful and I sometimes stand back a bit.
Sue: Rebecca and Anna are wearing their school uniform(校服), but they talk about the kind of clothes that they like to wear out of school, such as heavy boots and baggy10 trousers. Anna explains why they reject “girlie girl” clothes and dress like tomboys. 
Clip Anna
The reason we want to wear these kind of almost boyish clothes is because we don’t want to look like a typical girl with sort of pink dresses and being very good and looking pretty and everything. We want to take the boys on and show them what we’re made of - because we can take them on any day - and it’s a matter of just really throwing away the old girlie(少女) girl things which your grandma would like and looking more like a kind of rebel (叛徒,反叛者)and this is what we want and this is what we do and that’s why we wear these clothes - it’s a statement.
Sue: Anna went on to say that most of the clothes in her bedroom wardrobe (衣柜·)are
practical, unisex (男女通用的)clothes like jeans and T’shirts. However, she likes boys who
“look quite feminine11”, and her ideal boyfriend sounds quite extraordinary!
 
Clip Anna
At the moment, I like boys with quite long hair who wear make-up and nail varnish12 (指甲油)which is a big fashion as there is a band called Placebo who do this, and all of them are men but they look quite feminine which I find quite attractive and so do a lot of people these days. Also they’d have to be quite a lot like me, like the same things, but not treat me like a girl, treat me more like a friend. I have seen the perfect boy actually, whom I walk passed everyday on the way to school. He’s absolutely gorgeous and has all these features. But boys in general, as long as they’ve got a good personality, although that sounds like a cliché, it is true, that is the only thing that really matters - but good taste in music and clothes also helps!
Sue: Next, Anna describes how she would spend an ideal Saturday with her friend Rebecca - shopping, listening to music and talking. They’d talk about “life, the universe and everything”, especially what’s “bugging13” them - irritating14 them. 
Clip Anna
The ideal Saturday. Well, it have to be probably going out to a market, one of London’s many, where they sell the clothes that we like and the jewelry15 - which is kind of small earrings16, rings and bracelets(手镯) - with also colourful nail varnish and good shoes. After that we’d probably go back to one of our houses and then listen to some music for a while and generally talk about life, the universe and everything - our friends, boy friends, school and everything that’s bugging us.
Sue: In the evening, Anna and Rebecca would go out to a club - a club for under 18 year olds, where there are no alcoholic17 drinks sold. They’d listen to a band or dance. And then they’d go back to stay at one of their houses.
 
Clip Anna
After getting back at a reasonably late time, we’ll probably get into bed and then talk for a few more hours until the early hours of the morning. In which case we’ll probably wake up at about midday the next day - very tired but very happy.
Sue: And on Sunday afternoon, there would be homework to tackle18 for school the next day! Anna and Rebecca both want to go on to university or art college, and they encourage each other with their school studies. Both Rebecca and Anna have very supportive families, and the girls do their best to take growing up in their stride19, and Anna says she feels very happy to know that her mother is always ready to listen and easy to talk to. 
Clip Anna
Well my mother is a very cool person - she’s not at all worried about talking to me about - well, I suppose, the facts of life and how I’m growing up and everything. I remember not so long ago when she was giving me the speech about boy friends and advice that she could give me, and I remember telling her, “Look, you don’t have to be cool, and I don’t think anything’s going to happen in the near future”, but I’m very grateful to her anyway because I like to know where I stand with my mother and to know that she’s cool enough to talk with me about these things, which some I’m sure wouldn’t, and she told me that if I ever needed any advice then she would be there for me, and she didn’t mind what I did as long as I was OK and happy. And so I told her, “Thank you very much, but I don’t think anything will happen but I’m very grateful to know that you are there”.
