media type="custom" key="24747470" __IRREGULAR VERBS TESTS__ = - = Unit 1: Growing up A) When does a young person become an adult? In many modern societies, it is not clear, but in some cultures there are important celebrations or rituals when an adolescent passes into adulthood. B) I recently visited the South Pacific island of Vanuatu because I wanted to investigate one of these rituals, called the 'Pentecost leap'. This ancient ceremony is the origin of bungee jumping, and for boys on Vanuatu it still eir change from adolescence to adulthood. C) It was much more memorable than my own teenage birthday celebrations. When I arrived, people in the village were playing drums and dancing. A woman was watchi8ng anxiously as her sixteen-year-old son climbed a 25-metre tower. The teenager waved to the crowd while men tied vines to his ankles. As soon as they had finished, he jumped. D) Everyone cheered after the vines stopped him a few centimtres from the ground. Then his mother three her son's favourite toy from childhood into the crowd - the boy was now a man. From that moment, as a new adult, he had rights, independence and respect. E) In modern societies, there are few traditions. Young people can vote, get a driving licence or go to a bar at different ages. But they don't really feel 'adult' until they leave home. This can cause problems - some teenagers rebel against society because they want to be independent. F) Perhaps we can learn from other cultures and recognize that young people are mature by the time they are sixteen. When we give respect and responsibility, they behave in a more respectful and responsible way.
