READING EXAM
HOLLYWOOD KIDS
Growing up in Los Angeles California is not easy

In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For
Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up in such unreal atmosphere. Their parents are actors,
musicians, directors or producers, they are very ambitious, and the children are part of the parents’ ambitions.

Parents pay for extravagant parties, expensive cars and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids
learn the value of nothing because they have everything. A 13 year old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards,
and unlimited cash to do what he wants, whenever he wants. “One day, I will earn more money than my Dad,” he
says.

Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda’s mother
employs a personal trainer, a nutritionist, a bodyguard, a teacher, a signing coach, and a counselor to take care of
her 15 year old daughter’s needs.

Often there are not any parents at home, so children in Hollywood always decide whether to make their own meals,
order a takeout or go out to eat in a restaurant, when to watch television or play video games. They organize their
own lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they are ready.

Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids in Los Angeles live unreal lives where money, beauty and
pleasure are the only goals.

Will children around the world soon start to think the same?
