Teen Voice Analysis Worksheet

Read the original teen travel review below. Then answer each question using evidence from the text. Focus on how word choice, sentence style and direct address shape the writer’s voice.

A day at the skate park

Read the review. The writer is a teenager sharing a first-person account with other young people.

You know that moment when you arrive somewhere and instantly think, “Yep, I’m staying all day”? That was me at Riverside Skate Park on Saturday. I went with my cousin, expecting a quick skate and maybe a snack. Instead, we found a huge concrete bowl, smooth beginner lanes and a shaded spot where everyone seemed to know everyone. The best bit? A skater called Jai showed me how to land a cleaner turn. I was wobbling everywhere at first, but after a few tries it finally clicked. How good does that feel? The park was busy, but nobody made a big deal when someone fell or tried a trick twice. People just cheered each other on. There’s a water fountain near the entrance, though the food van only turns up on Sundays, so bring a snack if you’re going on Saturday. One small warning: the sun hits the bowl hard in the afternoon. A hat and sunscreen are a smart move. Would I go back? Absolutely. Whether you’re learning your first trick or just hanging out with mates, this place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Bring a board, bring some water—and maybe give that turn a go. What have you got to lose?

1.Which option best describes the writer’s main purpose?

To give a personal review and encourage readers to visit
To provide a formal history of skateboarding
To warn readers never to skate outdoors
To explain how to build a skate park

2.Choose two details that help create a friendly, informal teen voice.

The phrase “Yep, I’m staying all day”
The precise measurement of the concrete bowl
The question “How good does that feel?”
The use of technical construction terms

3.Find one enthusiastic word or phrase in the review and explain what feeling it conveys.

4.The writer asks, “What have you got to lose?” Is this mainly a genuine request for information or a rhetorical question? Explain its effect.

5.What does “it finally clicked” mean in the second paragraph?

The writer understood or managed the skating turn
A light switched on in the skate park
The writer heard a clock
The writer decided to leave

6.Give one detail that makes the review useful as well as entertaining.

7.Compare the tone of “The park was busy, but nobody made a big deal when someone fell” with “A hat and sunscreen are a smart move.” What does each sentence contribute?

8.Rewrite this sentence in a more formal guidebook style: “The best bit? A skater called Jai showed me how to land a cleaner turn.”

9.Which pair of techniques most clearly helps the writer connect with teen readers?

First-person experience and direct questions to the reader
Passive voice and specialist vocabulary
Dates and historical facts
Long definitions and footnotes

10.Write two or three sentences recommending a local place or activity to other teenagers. Use one conversational expression and one direct question. Then identify both techniques.
