Discussion

Read this quote from an article written in 1988 and then answer the questions:
 

Gordon McVie, the director general of the Cancer Research Campaign, blamed puberty, a change of body shape and "a worry that I want to be like (model) Kate Moss" for the increase in teenage smoking.

"This study portrays a desperately sad picture of teenage girls' self-image and their unsuccessful attempts to attain an idealized, lower weight," he said.
(03 Aug. 1998, Reuters, London)
