Interviewer:
Emma, could you please tell us about yourself?
Emma: I'm Emma. I'm 16 years old. I've got a boyfriend called Max. I've known him for quite a while now because of Sarah, but we've only been going out for a couple of months. He's really clever. Sarah gets really angry with him but I don't think she understands how clever he is. Sarah's clever too. She should stay on at school, but she says she wouldn't. I left in the summer. My mum said every day I spent at school was a waste so it was about time I left. I've got some temporary work at a petrol station. I really like Max and Sarah. It's really good us all being friends together. Like a family.


for quite a while - довольно долго;
to be going out = to be boyfriend and girlfriend;
stay on at school - продолжать учиться в школе;
I left in the summer. = I left school in the summer.
a waste - трата времени;
so it was about time I left = so it was time I left.
