I don’t think it’s nice!

I’d never do it!

6. Reading activity

Read the text and match the pictures with the text.

A Hi! The Bob haircut is one of those classic hairstyles that seem to never go out of

trend. It is a very amazing hairstyle. It is very famous and is wearing by many people.

The Bob hairstyles are very flexible. Through years the Bob haircut is changed, for

example, hair cutting things like as one side short while leaving the other long but it

is still the Bob hairstyle. No matter what the current fashion goes, it is always there. I

prefer this style and I always look cool with a perfect hairdo.

B Hello! I really like my hairstyle. Its name comes from the word emotional. My

hair is thick and doesn't have any curls at all and when it grows, it grows outward and

makes my hair look like a bush, so I keep it short all the time. Basically let your hair

get long... like down to your nose or so, then go somewhere and tell them that you

want to look EMO. I dye my hair black in the front and blonde in the back. Then I gel

the front of my hair downwards. After that I take the back/blonde part and spike it.

This can be worn by both boys and girls.

C Hey, guys! You see punk hairstyles are bizarre and colourful. I would rather say a

Mohawk hairstyle is popular with those seeking a punk hairstyle. But you have to be

courageous enough to have a shaved scalp with an upright strip of hair running across

the crown of the head from the forehead to the nape of the neck. Are you ready for

that? A punk hairstyle gelled and spiky is often accompanied by leather clothes and

various body piercing.

D Hello friends! I adore French braids! These are the braids that tightly fit head and

create different patterns on it. The patterns can be various - from simple parallel lines

to complicated ornaments. With an appropriate care, French braids can be worn up to

2 months. What kind of hair do you need to braid? All types of hair can be braided

into French braids. The only condition is that hair must be no less than 15 cm long.

How to wash French braids? The braids should be washed with a special non-foamy

shampoo. Accurately wash partings between the braids no more than once a week.

Post-reading activity

Say if the statements are true or false.

1. A bob hairstyle is out of fashion.

2. An emo hairstyle comes from the name emotional.

3. You can easily have bob hairdo on your own.

4. French braids should have a special hair care.

5. A punk hairstyle is very often accompanied by leather clothes and body piercing.

6. For French braids one should have the hair no less than 15 cm long.

7. A Mohawk hairstyle demands only leather clothes.

8. Speaking activity

-Which of them do your friends prefer?

-Can you do any?

-Why do teens sometimes prefer to wear extraordinary hairstyle?

9 Summing up

YOUTH CULTURES

The term 'culture' can be defined as language, dress, beliefs, manners and tastes

in food or music of a particular2 group.

The concept3 of youth culture appeared in America in the 1950s and spread to

Britain in the 1960s. It was a result of the improvement in Western economics, which

meant that teenagers had money to spend.

There was the development of music and fashion industries with the young

people dressed in Italian-style and leather clothes appeared. They were called Mods.

But there were young people who were against the materialistic wealth and stressed

on spiritual2

values. They tried to show their protest in wearing unusual clothes, hair

dress or in other ways. Thus in the 1960s and 1970s Hippies appeared. These young

people usually had long hair and wore second-hand clothes. They liked to say, 'Make

love, not war.' Hippies were against the Vietnam War and showed their peaceful

feelings in their rock songs. Some of them are still popular — 'Give Peace a Chance'

and 'All You Need is Love'. In the mid 1970s punk rock appeared. Punks were not

peace loving, but full of hate. There was a great unemployment (especially among

young people) at that time. Many teenagers blamed3 the society and in punk

movement they expressed their negative feelings. Punks often had brightly coloured

hair and wore clothes that could shock people. Later these movements influenced

some other aspects of life. For example, Punk became a clothes design style and punk

magazines 'fanzines', fan clubs, posters appeared.

As a large number of teens today watch music videos, these influence their

minds. Teens watch cool Rappers, who are looking and sounding unusual and they

want a piece of that image. They wear the same clothes, sing violent lyrics and feel

very cool.

Rap and hip-hop were born in the ghettoes of New York over 30 years ago.

Rap fashion is big business today. The clothes, f sometimes very expensive from

Prada and Gucci, Ralph Louren and Polo, express a lack4

of respect to tradition and

authority5. Rappers wear huge gold necklaces and drive costly cars. There is also a

rap language or rather a slang, used by many teens. Such artists as Justin

Timberlake and Eminem use it in their songs. Many rap songs make teenagers

believe that.

Analysis or different youth cultures which appear and change each other helps

to make some conclusions. Here they are.

• Youth cultures are formed in reaction to society's values.

• Youth cultures help young people become independent of their families.

• They are consumer products sold to the young.

These cultures give young people the opportunity to be something different

before they agree and accept society's values.

• Youth cultures enable young people to express themselves by choosing the

style that suits them.

• The values of a youth culture do not matter -just have to be different from

those of the older generation. Are they good or bad? No one can say. But it s quite

clear that youth cultures can bring change to a society and help young people in their

search for identity2.

Post-reading activity

Which culture is the most influential? Express your own opinion.

Which culture would you like to choose and why?

T. Young people pay much attention to their appearance just to look special.

They use different forms of decorations.

read the text about different forms of body decorations and fill in each of the gaps

with one word from the table below.

Body art

( by Rosie Milner)

Tattooing can be -----------1 the world over, through its style and its meaning

vary dramatically.

Tattooing has long featured in the cultures of the Japanese, Polynesians and

Native Americans. The practices of the Maoris of the New Zealand ------------2 a

striking example of tattooing. They are well-known for the elaborate patterns with

which they traditionally decorated their faces.

Native American Indians ------------3 to have pierced the lower lip, and today

this practice is found in tribes across Africa and South America. Along cane --------4

through the skin around the mouth or nose as decoration often pushed through the

skin around the mouth or nose as decoration. Some tribes of central Africa, for

example, traditionally pierce and then stretch the lips with saucer-like disks. Nose

piercing is common in India, South America and Africa, as is ear piercing. In some

societies, a piercing through the ear is gradually stretched to create a visible hole.

This is more and more common in the West.

In non-Western cultures, tattooing and piercing --------- recently -------5,

these societies try to "catch up" with the West. On the contrary, in the West their

popularity is ever increasing.

Until recently, body art in our culture was mainly found on groups such as

sailors and convicts, or those wanting to rebel against society, like the punks of the

1970s. Over the last decade body art------------6 into the mainstream and it is

increasingly socially acceptable.

Just about every part of the body can be pierced or tattooed. In the West, facial

piercings are popular (especially through the eyebrow, lip, and tongue), as a navel

piercings. David Beckhem, the famous British footballer, recently sparked craze for

tattoos in foreign languages when he had his wife's name, Victoria------------7 on his

forearm in Hindi. Polynesian-style tattoos of large swirling blocks of colour are

currently fashionable with men, while women still tend to favour smaller, less visible

tattoos.

People use body art for a range of reasons. In the past tattoos ------------8 as a

mark of social status, to ward off demons and ill health. They have also been used as

a means of identifying and punishing convicts, slaves and outcasts. However, these

days most people use body art simply as decoration.

As tattooing and piercing become increasingly common however, some people

are resorting to more extreme methods of body modification to stand out from the

crowd. "Body branding', for example, is a dramatic (and dangerous) practice which --

--------9 in popularity. It involves searing the skin with red-hot metal, in some shape

or pattern, to leave a permanent scar.

Implanting is another extreme way in which people alter their body's

appearance. Somewhat similar to body piercing, it involves the painful insertion of

metal objects under the skin. One example of implanting is the insertion of horn

shaped objects under the skin of the forehead, giving a "devil-like” appearance.

It seems unlikely that branding and implanting --- ever --------10 as popular as

tattooing and piercing. But fifty years ago, who would have thought businessmen

would go to work hiding pierced nipples under their suits, or their kids would be

asking their parents for tattoos for their sixteen birthday. Whether branding or

implanting will become popular or not, one thing is certain — body art, in one form

or another, is here to stay.

Organisations Main goals

THE LIFE OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN UKRAINE

The life of any age, social or professional group is always determined by the

economic, social and political situation of the country. So the economic crisis in

Ukraine which followed the split of the former Soviet Union changed the lives of all

groups of population including the young people. The, unemployment rate among the

youth is even higher than among other age groups because they lack working experi-

ence and knowledge. As a result the criminal situation in the country has changed for

the worse.'

All these factors, made the Ukrainian government take special measures for

creating youth organizations in our country which could help young people to find

their place in life, to determine their vocations, to follow the right guidelines. Among

these organizations is, for example, "The Students League" whose activity is aimed

at solving various students' problems, including economic ones. The members of this

league organize youth forums, festivals and interest groups meetings. This

organization also has friendly ties with the Student Unions of many foreign

countries.

A number of political parties in Ukraine have their youth wings: Young

Regions (Region Party), People's Democratic League of Youth (people's Democratic

Party), Ukrainian Social-Democratic Youth (Social-Democratic Party of Ukraine

(united); the Union of Agrarian Youth (Agrarian Party of Ukraine), Socialist

Congress of Youth (Socialist Party-of Ukraine), Leninist Communist Union of Youth

of Ukraine (Communist Party of Ukraine), etc.

These youth organizations have been working under the guidance and along

the lutes of their political parties. They have proved to be active and influential

participants in social and political processes in the country. For example, during the

latest election campaigns young voters were very active.

A lot of young people in Ukraine are active in the "greens" movement. They

organize various actions to protest against the pollution of the environment. Their

main aim is to help the government and non-government organizations to protect and

preserve a safe environment in our country.

There are some youth organizations that are based on common professional

and educational interests, for example, All-Ukrainian Association of Young

Scientists, ''Liege Artist", Ukrainian League of Young Entrepreneurs, Union of

Young Journalists; Association of Young Farmers, etc

A lot of work has been done by the "Young Prosvita" organization to raise

national self-consciousness and to promote Ukrainian culture in the country.

In the early 1990s the Union of Pioneer Organizations was set up in Ukraine. It

unites children and teenagers from І0 to 15 years old. All pioneers wear scarves of

seven colours as in a rainbow. The aim of this organization is to help children to

become worthy citizens of their country and members of the community. Pioneers

give an oath to do good things, to respect grown-ups, to help the young and the old,

to love our Motherland, and to carry on folk traditions. Pioneers practice sports

together, do a lot of hiking, etc. In addition there is a Boy Scout organization in

Ukraine that was organized on the principles of British and American organizations

of this type.

T So, now, read some texts about teenagers’ interests and do the following tasks

Reading

Read the text. Choose the correct answer, a, b, c or d.

Belinda Clarke, record company manager

I work for a small, independent company that produces classical music. My

love of music started when I was a child, I had piano lessons but I wasn’t very good!

I loved listening to music but I didn't enjoy playing very much. I gave up lessons

when I was about 14. Then I started buying CDs -not only classical but also pop and

reggae. I went to university to study French and Spanish.I also worked as the DJ in a

local radio station and helped on the university music magazine.

There are about 1,000 record labels in the UK. Some of them are very big

companies, but there are small independent companies, too.

They produce different types of music from hop to classical. I do different

things in my job every day. I go to lots of concerts and travel to different countries

to find new musicians. I help the musicians in a record studio. I also organize videos

and photos for the CD covers.

There are pros cons of working in the record industry. I love working with the

creative people and being in a team. I also enjoy travelling but it can be very tiring.

We work very long hours when we are making a CD. The pay isn’t very good either.

You can earn a lot in a very big music company, but my company is still quite small.

I don't really mind about the pay, because my job is so enjoyable. What do you need

to work for a record company? The most important thing is to love music. You also

need to be organised and hard-working. When you first start in the industry, you'll

need to work very long hours and do quite monotonous jobs. It isn't always exciting!

I also think it's important to get a university education first. You need to know about

the world and to communicate well.

Imagine this scene: a woman inside a cage in the sea, with sharks all around her.

Wouldn't you expect the woman to feel terrified? Not Gill Williams - she finds

such experiences absolutely thrilling. Gill is an "extreme" sportswoman – an

adventurer who takes sport to its most dangerous limits.

1 -----------I love scary animals," says Gill. "I love being near them and touching

them. Great white sharks come and attack the bars of the cage. I touch them, but I

don't let them bite me!" There are more people like Gill than you might think. They

leave their —officers and businesses to spend their free time doing extremely

dangerous things. Some of them fly jets across deserts or go diving in unexplored

caves, while others explore African rivers. All of them want to experience

something more than their normal lives can offer. They want adventure.

2------------ Bob Card is a skydiving trainer. He teaches people to leap out of

aeroplanes and let themselves fall through the air without opening their parachutes

until the very last minute. .

“ I believe there is an adventurer inside every one of us," he says. "It doesn't matter

how old or strong you are. The adventurer is there - it's just hidden away somewhere.

If you find that spirit, your life will take on new meaning." One advantage of doing

extreme sports to satisfy your need for adventure is that : you can completely forget

about your everyday problems. As Bob says: "You can't be concerned about business

phone calls or examination results when you're jumping out of a plane."

turn

3------------How much danger can a person take? According to Sandra Quiggen, panic

is rare even when you come face to face with a bad-tempered hippopotamus on the

Zambezi River. "You get scared," she says. "Those hippos have big teeth. But a little

fear makes the brain work faster, as long as you don't let it turn into panic."

4-------------- There is an element of risk in all extreme sports. "If you don't do things

right, you are asking for trouble," says Card. But training and proper equipment help

to make these sports safer. The difference between extreme sport and 'normal" sport

is; that, although there are organised competitions for these sports, most extreme

sports people are more interested in testing their own abilities than in winning

prizes. In fact, most of them would agree with mountaineer Sir Edmund Hilary's reply

when asked why he wanted to climb Everest: "Because it's there

Introduction

Read the text and fill in the chart.

YEARS MAIN DIFFERENCES

1940-1950

1960

1970-1980

T. One of the actual problems we are to discuss today is generation gap.

It’s typical of teenagers to argue with their parents sometimes because they

have different points of view , sometimes without realizing why.

The generational gap is and was a term popularized in Western countries

during the 1960s referring to differences between people of a younger generation and

their elders, especially between children and parents.

Although some generational differences have existed throughout history,

modern generational gaps have often been attributed to rapid cultural change in the

postmodern period, particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes,

fashion, culture and politics. These changes are assumed to have been magnified by

the unprecedented size of the young generation during the 1960s, which gave it the

power and inclination to rebel against societal norms.

As the '40s ended and the '50s emerged, marked differences between teenagers

and parents began to emerge. From a transformation of the dating system (going

steady and early marriage became the norm, as opposed to the "rating and dating"

trend that was fashionable before the war), to the new medium of television gaining

widespread popularity and often portraying teenagers as juvenile delinquents. 'JDs'

followed the standard black leather and denim jeans look set by Marlon Brando in the

1953 film The Wild One. The widespread adoption of rock and roll also helped

emphasize differences between parents and teenagers. Rock was loud, rhythmic, and

energetic.

gap

The War in Southeast Asia and the rise of counter-culture hippies during the

mid and late 1960s with diverging opinions about the draft and military involvement

in Vietnam as well as the use of drugs were significant topics of the generation gap of

this era.

The 1970s and 1980s are characterized as being an era rampant with child

neglect, as shown by such phenomenon as latchkey kids. This period lies between the

family-oriented 1950s and 1960s and the "Baby on Board" parenting–focused era of

the late 1980s to the present.

Text “ No Place Like Home’

Today Vicky Samson came home from school at four o'clock watched TV for

half an hour. Then she did her homework. She's working hard at the moment, because

she's got exams soon. After dinner, while she was helping with the washing up, she

talked to her parents about a problem she had been having at school.

It was a normal day, but it was the kind of day that makes Vicky (and her

parents) very happy. "I can't believe it", says Vicky. " Life is wonderful. Four

months ago I was living in a cardboard box a railway bridge in London".

Last October Vicky had run away from home. How did it all start? "I hated

school. We always had so much work to do and I didn’t see the point of it all. But it

was worse at home. My parents didn’t understand me. It was all "Do this!", "Don't do

that!" We only speak to each other when we were arguing. One day I just couldn't

stand it any more".

On that October day, Vicky didn't go to school. She went to the station, put on

some clothes she had packed in her school bag, threw her uniform away and caught

the train to London.

But soon there was no food and no money either. "I couldn’t get a proper job,

because I was only 15 and you have to be 16".

Then the restaurant closed down and Vicky was back on the street again. She

was cold, hungry and miserable. "I was walking down a street, when I looked into

someone's front window. There was a girl, the man who lived in the house, Mr

Robinson came home while she was sitting there. He took Vicky into the house and

Mrs Robinson gave her a cup of tea and something to eat.

But the next day she was back home. While Vicky was at their house Mrs

Robinson went next door and telephoned the police in Birmingham. Three hours

later, Vicky's father arrived to collect her.

"It was the best Christmas present I'd ever had", said Mrs Samson "We're so

grateful to the Robinsons for what they did".

Speaking activity (group work)

T

In every country young people have many problems which are difficult to solve. In

British magazines for the youth there is often a special page "Problem Page".

Teenagers send letters to the "problem page" asking for advice. Psychologists answer

them. Read some typical letters to "Problem Page' and try to advise their authors

what to do.

SHOULD I LIE TO MY PARENTS?

Can you help me? I've fallen in love with a really nice boy from my school. I'm

sixteen but I don't have a lot of freedom. My parents are strict. I am not allowed to go

out in the evenings, and even if I go out with this boy during school hours I can't tell

my parents because they will punish me. I feel bad about the situation because I love

my parents. They love me and trust me but I love that boy too. What should I do?

What do you advise me?

SHOULD I INVITE HER TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY?

I'm sixteen and I've fallen in love with a nice girl at my school, she loves me too, but

we meet only at school. My parents are very much upset when they learn I pay

attention to any girl. They say I should get an education first. Her parents are very

strict. They believe she is not big enough to have a boy-friend though she is sixteen.

Soon I will have a birthday party, I'll be seventeen. My cousins and friends usually

come to my birthday parties. Should I ask her to come too?

John 16

CAN I CHANGE ANYTHING?

I am sure my parents are too worried about me. They want to protect me in

everything. I have never been free in making my own decisions. They think I am still

a kid who is not capable of doing right things. Тhey have their own ideas of how I

should act in definite situations, what I should wear, with whom 1 should make

friends or date, what music listen to, what films to watch or what books to read. It is

so boring. They want me to be exactly like them.

I believe my parents love me. They don't mean anything bad for me but still I don't

feel happy. My classmates consider me to be rather strange, they seem to avoid me. I

feel lonely. It hurts. I'm afraid I will never learn to live my own life. They have never

considered my feelings. I can hardly wait for the time when I leave school and get rid

of the constant care and control.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I'm fifteen and I've fallen in love with my history teacher. He’s handsome and clever.

He's in his first teaching job since he left university. He is only eight years older than

study everything he gives us. What else should I do?

Yumi: Take it back? No, it’s mine now. No one knows I’ve stolen it. We’re safe. We

are going back tomorrow morning. Forget about it, Maki.

Maki: Yumi, you ‘re my best friend. We’ve been friends since childhood. You’re not

a criminal. You have to return the ring to the store.

Yumi: No, I won’t return it. Relax, Maki. Nothing will happen. You’re the only

person , who knows. So just forget about

T We’ve discussed some problems teenagers have to face in everyday life.

To avoid misunderstanding and achieve goals of our life we must follow some advice

Listen to them and say which of them you find useful.

— You have to work hard to achieve your aim. Life is not easy.

— If you mess up, you are responsible. It's not your parents' fault.

— Respect your parents. Don't think your parents' advice is old-fashioned.

— Life is not divided into semesters, and you don't get summers off. They expect

you to show up every day.

— Your life is not a sitcom. All your problems will not be solved in 30 minutes. In

real life people actually have to solve the problems and make the decisions.

— Enjoy your life while you can. Sure you think your parents are a pain, school is a

bother and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful it was to be

a kid. Maybe you should start now. You are welcome.

T. Well, what do you think of my rules? Do you find them useful?

The criterion of happiness is the joy of life. And what is life? Let's read the words of

Mother Teresa about the meaning of life.

The words of Mother Teresa about the meaning of life and watch a presentation

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is a beauty, admire it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a mystery, know it.

Life is a sorrow, overcome it.

Life is song, sing it.

T. Let’s these words of mother Teresa become a motto of your life. Be always young

and beautiful. Remember, being a teenager lasts only a few years, nevertheless sweet

once. So celebrate your life every day.

Consult a dictionary and find the definition of the words: a right and a duty

Right is something you are legally or normally allow to do.

Duty is something you have to do.

as there are no violations of the rights and freedoms of other individuals, and has

obligations before society where free and full development of the personality is

assured. Citizens have equal rights and freedoms and are equal before the law. There

are no privileges or restrictions based upon race, colour of skin, political and other

beliefs, sender, ethnic and social origin, property, position, place of residence,

language, religion or other circumstances.

51

unconditionally a special advantage

respect to behave dishonestly

Reading activity

Read the teenagers’ “ Bills of rights “ and say how do they want to built their

relations with friends,parents , adults

Rights with Friends:

We all have the right and the privilege to have friends. We can choose our

friends based on our own likes and dislikes. We don't have to like the same people

everyone else likes or not like someone because they aren't in our group." Friendship

is a personal thing.

We can ask from our friends that they be trustworthy. If we share something

with them and ask them not to tell everyone, we can expect that they will keep it just

between us. We will give them the same right. If they don't, they have betrayed our

trust and our friendship.

It is okay to be honest with our friends. If they do something that hurts us or

concerns us, we can talk to them about it. We will be open to their being honest also.

This does not mean it is okay to be mean to each other, just that we can talk honestly

about our feelings.

We have the right to be respected for the decisions we make. Some of our

friends may not understand the choices we make, but they are our choices. In return,

we take responsibility for them.

With Parents and Other Adults:

We have the right to have our feelings respected and not compared to the

feelings of puppies ... or any other such put downs. Our feelings are strong and

sometimes confusing. It helps if you take our feelings seriously and listen to us before

disregarding them.

52

We feel we have the right to make decisions (some, not all) for ourselves. If we

make mistakes we will learn from them, but it is time for us to be more responsible.

Whenever possible, exclude us from your fights. We understand that fighting is

part of every relationship, but it is painful for us to be involved. Don't put us in the

middle of any problem you have with each other.

We agree to treat you with respect and ask that you respect us in return. This

includes respecting our privacy.

With everyone:

We have the right to be loved unconditionally, and our goal is to love you the

same. We have the right to speak our minds, love ourselves, feel our feeling and

strive for our dreams. Please support us by believing in us rather than fearing for us

Post- reading activity

T. Teens also have duties. What are they?

To study well at school

To do household chores

To take care of young sisters/brothers

To look after pets

To go shopping

T. According to a recent survey, the most common arguments between parents and

teenagers are those regarding untidiness and household chores. On the one hand, par-

ents go mad over untidy rooms, clothes dropped on the floor and their children's

refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience

continually when parents tell them off for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not

cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

The survey, conducted by St George University, showed that different parents

have different approaches to these problems.

Let’s see how the problems solved in the family

--strict family

--liberal family

--large family

--one parent family

Work in a group of 3-4 children

The following phrases can help

Strict family

--to make children to do washing up, cleaning ,

54

-- making the bed,

--to punish children,

-- not to allow to do something ( play computer games, listen to music , go out)

Liberal family

--teach children by their own example,

--not to punish,

--not to pay attention to untidy room,

--to find the way out

Large family

--be friendly,

--cope with problems,

--look after younger brother/sister,

--help about the house,

--support each other

One-parent family

-- have no time to look after a child,

--to trust the child,

--to work long hours,

--lack of control,

--leave a child to himself

( Children are engaged in role-play)

T. As you see rights and duties are closely connected. To cultivate and reveal the best

in oneself one should need patience and constant work. If you want to bring up a

personality, take the following advice into consideration. So, read the poem and find

the proper word to complete each gap.

LESSON 7-8

MORAL VALUES OF YOUTH

(A ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSION)

Objectives: to develop students' speaking skills maintaining a free discussion;

to develop students' logical and critical thinking;

to broaden students' outlook and teach them to appreciate the real values

of life.

To live remains an art which everyone must learn, and which no one can teach.

Havelock Ellis

Procedure

The editor of a youth newspaper invited two young reporters to his office.

Editor. Hello, nice to see you dear friends. I've invited you here to suggest

collecting material for the round table discussion about the problems and interests of

young people.

Reporter 1. Oh, you see, it's an interesting and urgent problem and we hope to

have enough material to clear the point.

Reporter 2. Yes, 1 think we'll have meet a lot of people with different points

of view and choose the most interesting for discussing with experts.

Editor. I'm sure you'll cope with the task and so I wish you good luck.

(the reporters are in the street)

Reporter 1. I'm sure we'll have to meet young people and interview them to

collect true information about young people's life.

Reporter 2. Certainly. Let's talk to the boys who have painted the walls with

the graffiti and clear up what graffiti means, and why they have done it.

Reporter 1. Hello, dear boys. As far I understand you are graffiti fans, what

does it mean for you?

Boy 1. You see I'm crazy about graffiti and I've learned a lot about it. It

appeared in big American cities in 1960, it is prohibited and punishable by fines,

because it was considered as the work of vandals seeking to express their identity

even political points.

Boy 2. The new period of graffiti started in the late 80s and now it's a kind of

art, which has success in Europe and even the Groninger Museum in Holland is one

of the few museums in the world that displays and recognizes graffiti as an art form.

Boy 1. Oh, I'd like to add that there is a special website of graffiti and a grant

for young graffiti artists. Moreover, it's widely used for advertising. You see, we'd

like to draw people's attention to the problems of youth and express our ideas and

preferences. We express our feelings in music, nature, environment and simple

ordinary life by means of this kind of art. We are sure to involve more and more

young people in enjoying this art.

Reporter 2. Is it difficult to paint with sprayers?

Boy 2. Yes, it's not an easy task, but if you do it all the time, you can do it well

due to the practice.

Reporter 1. Thanks guys, it was really interesting to talk with you. We wish

you good luck and success. Maybe you'll manage to get a grant for young graffiti

artists and you'll be able to study graffiti in Europe.

Reporter 2. I liked the boys, they are so keen on graffiti and devoted to their

hobby.

Reporter 1. So did I. But what shall we do now?

Reporter 2. As far as I know, a new hair and beauty saloon "A New Style" has

been opened in our town, which offers new kinds of service and one of them is

piercing.

Reporter 1. Oh, it's rather interesting. Everywhere you can see people who

have got rings hanging from ears and pushed through noses, lips and eyebrows.

Reporter l. Ok, here is the place. Let's come in.

Reporter 2. Good morning, lady. As far as we know your beauty saloon is

very popular in our town, especially among teens. Will you tell us a couple of words

about piercing?

Expert. Yes, I'll do it with pleasure. I'm a qualified body piercer and I only

pierce teenagers when they come with their parents. They have to be over fifteen to

have their navel pierced.

Reporter 1. Some people give your profession a bad name. Why?

Expert. It's easy to explain, because nowadays many people consider they can

do piercing easily and they don't clean their equipment properly. I know some people

who have got hepatitis from cheap ear piercing guns. As for me I stand for

professionalism in piercing.

Reporter 2. Is it an expensive fashion?

Expert. That depends on your tastes. Ears cost 15hr and it's too cheap, eye-

brows — 100 hr, tongue and navel — 150hr.

Reporter1. Thank you very much, may be' one day we'll become you clients.

Expert. You are welcome.

Reporter 2. Look at the boys sitting on the sofa and discussing something,

they are likely to prepare for piercing. Let's listen to them.

A dialogue about the girlfriend

Brian. So, how's Michelle? You guys are still going out together?

Phil. Yeah, we are, but, I don't know. It's actually getting kind of weird. I'm not

sure its going to last.

Brian. Are you serious? Man, you've got to find a way to make it last.

Michelle is awesome! She has got everything!

Phil. Yeah, she is great. Really energetic.

Brian. Yeah!

Phil. And fun to be with, and ... But, this is going to sound stupid.

Brian. What?

Phil. It's her piercing.

Brian. Yeah, so, what about them?

Phi 1. Well, first she got her nose pierced.

Brian. Cool.

Phil. And then her belly button.

Brian. Her belly button? Wow. I didn't know she did that.

P hil. I guess that was okay.

Br i a n. Yeah!

Phil. But then she went and had her tongue pierced. I don't know if 1 can deal

with it.

Brian. Tongue piercing? Have you kissed her yet?

Phil. Year, I did kiss her!

Brian. Cool, huh?

Phil. It was disgusting!

Brian. Disgusting? ,

P h i 1. It felt dirty! And now every time I think about it 1 just start wondering

what part of her body she is going to pierce next.

Brian. Have you told her how you feel about it?

Phil. Yeah. I tried.

B rian. And?

Phil. I asked her if she could stop wearing some of them, at least when we were

together.

Phil. She said it was her right to express herself. You know she said something

like, "Look, you can't control the way I look. You should accept me the way I am. "It

was, like, what?

Brian. I don't know, man, 1 think you just don't get it. You can't let a few

pieces of metal get between you and woman of your dreams.

Phil. 1 don't know if she is the woman of my dream anymore.

Brian. What?

Phil. Besides, now every time when we get together she tells me how good I'd

look with pierced ears. It's bad enough that she is getting pierced. Now she wants me

to do it, too?

Brian. Why not, man? It's no big deal. And you know, if it turns Michelle on...

Phil. I can't believe you agree with her.

Brian. Totally.

P h i 1.1 don't know what I am going to do.

B r i a n. You are going to get a piercing, man!

Reporter 2. These young men are very funny and they may change their

preference one day. But as for the girl, she believes she is a real beauty with pierced

body. I doubt that everybody likes it.

Reporter 2. OK, now I suggest going to the computer centre, because the

majority of teenagers spend hours playing computer games there.

R e p o t e r 1. I agree with you as we've got a computer mania now. Let's go

and see.

The reporters are in the computer centre.

Reporter 1. Oh, it's overcrowded and very noisy here. Please, will you answer

my question?

Boy 1. Oh, no, I'm busy, I'm losing a game. Don't disturb me.

Reporter 1. What about you, young man? Why do you like playing games?

Boy 2. Please, don't interrupt me, I'm killing an enemy.

Reporter 2. It seems we are unlikely to interview these boys, they are crazy.

Reporter 1. You see, an idea occurred to me. My friends, a newly married

couple have their wedding anniversary today. Besides, they're great computer fans.

Let's visit them and discuss this point.

A dialogue about a computer nut

Susan. Sweetie, do you know what day it is?

Ken. Excuse me, but I am busy right now. I have to answer this email

S u s a n. You forgot, didn't you?

Ken. What? Did you say something? Can't you wait until tomorrow? I'm really

busy right now.

Susan. Agh!

Ke n. Why are you sitting on my key board? Look what you have done!

S u s a n. You forgot my birthday!

Ken. Is it today? Really? Today? Let me check my appointment file on my

computer. Please get off my keyboard.

Susan. You don't have to check your computer file. My birthday is TODAY!

This is your wife talking to you. Do you need to check you computer file to see who I

am?

Ken. Okay, okay. I believe you, I am sorry, I'm, I'm... really, really sorry. Now,

please get off my keyboard and ...and I'll send you ah email birthday card.

Susan. Agh! What is wrong with you? You spend all of your time with the

computer. Do you still love me?

Ken. Of course I do. Now, if you get off my keyboard, I'll order some flowers

from the flower shop's website.

Susan. I don't care about flowers. I'm worried about us and about you. Do you

remember when we were first married? We used to do so many things together. We

used to hike in the mountains, we used to ride our bikes...

Ken. You know I remember. But that was before computers. Now I use my

computer to go everywhere in the world. I can hike mountains in Europe and go bike

riding in China.

Susan. But that's not real. And I'm not with you. I'm worried about your health.

You spend all day with your computer at your office and then all night and the

weekends with your computer at home. It's not healthy.

Ken. But I am happy. I love my computers, okay? But because I love you, I

will see my doctor and get a check up, all right? Now, please get off my keyboard

and I'll send an email to my doctor to make an appointment.

Reporter 1. I've never thought that my best friends have such a serious

problem.

You see Ken has become definitely addicted spending all his time in front of

the computer.

Reporter 1. Yes, something should be done or the consequences can be awful.

The reporters came to the editor's office ready for round table discussion.

Reporter 1. So, we're ready for a round table discussion about the life of teens.

Lei me introduce our guests a police executive, a doctor, a specialist from town

educational department, a psychologist, teenagers, parents , journalists.

So let's start and we'd like to listen to the psychologist first.

Psychologist: I must admit that most of teens, want to be treated like adults,

they'd like to be more independent in their actions and way of life. And of course

young-people want to develop interests and values different form those of their

parents.

Young people disagree on different issues, time to come home at night, the

friends to spend free time with, the clothes to wear and so on.

One more problem is that 22 % of all families with children under 16 years old

are one parent families. Why? High divorce rates, separation and birth of children to

unmarried women are a few reasons. Most of the families of this category are headed

by women and these families are usually poorer than the others.

Moreover, a lot of wives and mothers work outside their homes, I mean

abroad. Of course, they don't have a chance to bring up their children as they have to

earn their living.

Due to the lack of parents' attention young people are brought up by the street,

friends and television. According to sociologists 90% of young people spend 2—4

hours of their free time watching TV: violence, crime blood, horror and murder. It

goes without saying that all these things influence teens' life greatly.

Reporter 2. Thank you very much, but now we'd like to listen to our police

executive and I'm sure he can tell us something interesting. Please, you are welcome

Mr. Petrov.

Police executive. While speaking about the life of the youth we must, say that

juvenile delinquency has increased greatly. From the darkness of tenements the only

escape for the city boys and girls, is the street. There the city boys too often find

"freedom" and "security" in gang life. Most gangs have 20—30 members in age from

11— 17. Most have their own names, colors, and insignia. Hangouts are street cor-

ners, underground cells and deserted houses. Young people steal mobiles just in the

streets, beating younger children, rob small shops and kiosks, burglarize houses, steal

jewelry and money in the city transport, etc. Furthermore the criminal activities of so

called girl gangs are part of a worsening trend. Over the past 10 years, the number of

arrests of girls for violence has more than doubled and juvenile crime is increasing at

a faster rate among girls than boys. Boys are more likely to be involved in burglary

and drug offences, but the girls can do criminal damage, robbery, violence and theft.

Reporter 2. Thank you very much; And now we'd like to listen to our doctor

Miss Tatiana, I'm sure she has something interesting to tell us.

Doctor. Thank you. I'd like to say that nowadays a lot of young people start

smoking, using drugs and drinking alcohol though they know how dangerous these

things are for their health. Smoking is known to cause 10 types of cancer, heart

disease, emphysema, bronchitis, etc. Every day 6,000 teens light their first cigarette.

By the time the senior students in high schools, over one third of all students are

regular smokers. Moreover half the money spent on cigarettes in Europe would save

the lives of all the children in the world who die from preventable diseases. More and

more people of the world join anti-smoking campaigns. I think we should also stop

advertising tobacco, remove T-shirts, caps, bags with cigarettes logos.

Another issue has become a matter of universal concern is alcohol. Some

young people try to escape reality by turning to alcohol and drugs. By the age of 12 a

growing number of teens know the taste and effect of alcohol. Drug abuse is the

biggest problem the youth faces today. According to the survey 33% of young

people tried drugs. Young people with drug problems must be in the focus of every-

body's attention, government, community, parents and school. I think that special

programmes should be introduced to help cut down drug abuse among the youth.

Reporter 1. Thank you Miss Tatiana, and now I'd like our specialist from town

educational department take the floor.

Specialist of educational department. Nowadays thousand of young people

run away from their homes each year. Most return after a few days or a few weeks,

but a few turn to crime and become juvenile delinquents. Why do young people

commit crimes? Among the causes are poor family relationships, poor neighbourhood

conditions, peer pressure and sometimes drug addiction. No doubt that juvenile

delinquency is a product of sickness of our society. So I'm sure that we should unite

the efforts of school, family and public organizations to help young people to make

the right choice and become equal members of our society.

Reporter 1. We are grateful to all the participants of our discussion today as

we've touched urgent problems. To sum up, I'd like' to say that young people are so

similar and so different. They want to go their way and find it difficult to be

responsible. They express their self identity in clothes, hairstyle and slang. They

smoke, drink alcohol, take drugs believing that's the route to be independent. They

have conflicts with their parents and teachers, considering that only equal in age can

understand them. But they still need somebody to open their heart. Often parents are

too busy earning money and can't spare their children enough time and attention.

That's why they easily come under the influence of other people or find idols among

famous singers, sportsmen, actors and politicians. The young go to disco clubs and

are crazy about music. They are fond of computers and the Internet. Sometimes they

have a desire to go along with the crowd which might urge them to do something

they know is wrong. They make wrong and right choices.

They are talented, creative and dream of the bright future for themselves and

their future children. They aren't afraid to risk. They are romantic and skeptical. They

are active and pragmatic. They are sincere, rude, honest and impolite. They demand

our help, respect, attention and supervision. They are the future of our planet. But

they should remember that life is overlasting and they should appreciate every minute

of it. They shouldn’t lose opportunity to be happy. They should just look around.

Great , wide, beautiful, wonderful World

With the wonderful water round you curled,

And the wonderful grass upon your breast-

World, you are beautifully dressed!

The wonderful air is over me,

And the wonderful wind is shaking the tree,

It works on the water and whirls the mills,

And talks to itself on the tops of the hills.
