ІІ. ОСНОВНА ЧАСТИНА УРОКУ

1. Розмовна практика

Conversation Practice

Brush-up

1.     1.What do the students do to fill their free time?

(They go in for sport, listen to music, read youth magazines and go to discos.)

     2. What clubs can they join?

           (They can join to the dance club and different organizations. Among them is “The Students` League” whose activity is aimed at solving various students` problems`, including economic ones.

  The strongest youth organization is Students` Brotherhood. This organization plays a very important role in democratic changes.

  The Plast is like the Boy Scout. It unites boys and girls from the ages of 14 for purposes of education, sports and culture.

  The members of the “Green Peace” organization fight against the destruction of flora and fauna on the Earth).

3. What is their most usual pastime?

(Together with friends we go on picnics, when the weather permits. We make barbeque, play ball games. We like going to parties and discos. When we are tired we prefer to stay at home and listen to music and watch TV).

 4. What kinds of problems can teenagers have?

P.1 The most important problem for us is dreams realization.                      

I think so because this year I am finishing the eleventh form. As for me, it is not easy task to make right choice of a job. I want to enter a university. My dream is to learn to operate the computer. I want to be an economist or a programmer.

P.2 We also have school problems. I am getting anxiety attacks every time I think about tests or exams. These thoughts causing me to forgot what I have learnt. My teacher always criticizes me. I can`t keep up with my group because I am a slow learner.

P.3 The next problem is “problem with peers”. I have a good friend who helps me a lot. But he makes me to miss lessons. I can`t resist and I am afraid to end up in trouble with my parents or teachers.

P.4 Lack of money is teenagers’ problem. I need money for buying all I want: modern clothes, perfumery, but my parents control me and I can`t earn extra money because I have to do my homework and prepare for the tests.

…P.5 Parents – children relations is the main problem for us. Parents say  it`s difficult for them to upbring us. They don`t like the style of my clothes and my haircut. But we want to be independent and take responsibility for our lives

2.     Grandparents are helpful when children argue with their parents.

3.     Only young children are very close to their grandparents.

4.     It`s easy for teenagers to talk to their grandparents.

6.     Older people can`t  learn about modern technology.

FORGET THE GENERATION GAP  -  TEENAGERS SAY THEIR BEST FRIENDS  ARE THEIR GRANDPARENTS

     Don`t  believe that teenagers and adults argue all the time – teenagers and their grandparents get on very well together. Researchers at the University of Glasgow have done a study on the relationship between teenagers  and their older relatives.

     They interviewed 75 young people aged 10 – 19 , and 73 older people aged  between  50 and their late 80s. It shows that grandparents play a very important role in families. They look after children, and they give a link to the past.  They can also help when there are disagreements between teenagers and parents.

     Most people believe that only very young children have a close relationship with grandparent . This is because they often take care of the children when parents are at work or out in the evening. The study shows that when children become teenagers, they are still very close to their grandparents. Although teenagers spend more time with friends than with their grandparents, many young people say that their grandparents  are very important to them.

     

So, in what ways are grandparents important?

- They are good listeners. It`s easy for teenagers to share their problems  and express their feelings  with their grandparents.

- They help to look  after children and they can provide financial help in small ways, like pocket money, and in bigger ways, like school fees.

- They help young people develop respect  and responsibility. They also help communication in a family.

- They  know a lot about a family`s  history and so can help teenagers  understand about the past.

And what are the advantages for older people?

- They can have fun with their grandchildren and take part in different activities.

- They can stay active and be part of the modern world.

- They often learn about  modern technology so they can keep up with their grandchildren.

There is a lot of negative news about the generation gap, so it`s good to hear that older people and teenagers  can be good friends.
