Life on the streets
It must be awful to live like that.
She must feel cold and uncomfortable. It also embarrassing to have to ask passers-by for money.
She must be feeling really depressed.

Read the text and choose the correct answer to answer the questions.

Answer the questions, please.
How old is Jasmine?
Why was Jasmine placed in foster care?
Why did she go to London?
Could she make it in London?
Where does she spend her nights?
How does she make ends meet?
Has Jasmine got a dream?

Which adjectives best describe Jasmine’s feelings? Give reasons.
proud
lonely
abandoned
confused
excited
anxious
delighted
I think Jasmine feels lonely because she has no family or friends to help her.
I think she also feels abandoned because no one helps her.
She probably feels anxious as well, not knowing what’s going to happen to her.
Life on the streets is difficult and dangerous. Maybe she also feels confused too.

Work in pairs. Take the roles of the journalist and Jasmine. Conduct your interview. Record it.
How long have you been living on the street?
For six years now, since I was sixteen.
Why do you live here?
Many people find it hard to understand why I gave a home in foster care to make it on my own but I wanted to be independent. Little did u know hard it would be.
Do you regret your actions?
Yes, quite often I wish I had stayed on at school and stayed in foster care until I was eighteen. Maybe then I would have a job or would have gone to college.
What is the worst thing about being homeless?
Feeling cold and lonely. And there’s also the uncertainty, the danger. It is the worst kind of existence, believe me!
Is there any way out?
I hope and pray that one day soon I’ll get a council flat and will finally have my own place to call home.
