Life in Contemporary Australia
Hi! I'm Chloe, a Year 9 student from Melbourne. Let me share what life is like for teenagers in Australia
today.
Like most Australian families, we're concerned about environmental issues. We recycle diligently, use
reusable bags, and our family recently installed solar panels. At school, we have sustainability projects and
learn about reducing our carbon footprint.
Technology is big part of our lives. We use apps for everything - from homework to socializing.
However, our parents encourage us to have tech-free time, especially during meals and before bed.
Sports remain important, but there's been a shift. While traditional sports like cricket and AFL are still
popular, many of my friends are into esports, yoga, and mountain biking. We're more diverse in our interests
than previous generations.
Mental health is talked about openly now. We have wellbeing programs at school, and it's normal to
discuss stress and anxiety. This openness has made it easier for students to seek help when needed.
Despite all the changes, some things remain the same. We still love beach trips, barbecues, and the great
Australian outdoors. The sense of community and mateship that Australia is famous for continues to thrive.
26. What environmental action has Chloe's family taken
