b)

  • Conversation 1 → It depends on the age. There are some places that are not suitable for young teenagers, like bars.
  • Conversation 2 → It is not good for teenagers to watch whatever they want on TV as they can't evaluate what they are seeing. It is also bad for their eyes and a bit passive.

  • Conversation 4 → Leah thinks it's a good idea to have a time for teenagers to go to bed. Mark feels that teenagers can decide for themselves when to go to bed.
