Task. Read the text and answer the questions. Give the full answers.
Megan McCarthy is 14. She lives in Leeds.
I’m 14, but I’m 1.83 metres tall. All my friends are shorter than me and I’m the tallest person in my family. Everyone thinks I’m older than 14. On the bus, they think I’m an adult.
When I started secondary school, everyone stared at me. People were friendlier and more helpful at primary school. But it’s easier now and I’ve got lots of mates.
Clothes are always a problem. I usually buy my clothes at a shop called ‘Long Tall Sally’, but they’re more expensive than ordinary clothes. Shoes are even worse!
There are some advantages. I play basketball and people
say I’m the best player in the school. And tall people often get better jobs and earn more money!
The most difficult thing is that I’m always different from other people. I just want to be the same as everyone else. But I’m tall and I’ll always be tall, so I try to accept it and be positive about it.
