5. Copy and paste this paragraph into your word document.

Teenagers (for this report including 11-14s and 15-19s) are highly influential shoppers. They have growing amounts of money to spend on their appearance, leisure goods and electrical products like mobile phones. Gifts for friends are highly important to this group, influencing shopping patterns for items like cards, plush toys and gift style toiletries. Younger teenage consumers are emerging from the family cocoon, learning to make choices and beginning to manage their own money. They shop with friends and for many, shopping is a social activity forming a large part of their leisure time. By the time they reach the upper end of the age spectrum, most are very independent shoppers, with a strong sense of identity, style and value. Spending power is large throughout the age spectrum, although it grows as teenagers get older and take on part-time jobs or casual work like babysitting. From age 16 some are in full-time work, and spending power increases significantly, while others are students with loans and high living costs. Source: www.marketresearch.com
