5. Практикум в аудировании

One of the most important features of the family is understanding, isn’t it?

Listen to the text and choose the corresponding sentences.

… I’m a 17-year-old student who needs advice. I live with my family and study at the university. With my beloved boy I met a year ago when I was at school. We are good friends and even more we are going to be together forever. We enjoy being together.

   My problem is that my parents don’t like my boy-friend. They are very strict and think that I’m too young to have serious relations. They don’t allow me to go on dates and even don’t want to hear about him. My parents make my life miserable. I get very depressed. I keep my stuff in a suitcase to leave my home in a suitable moment.

1. The girl can give advice.
2. Her parents don’t like her having a boy-friend.
3. The girl’s parents think that she isn’t old enough to have a boy-friend.
4. The girl regrets meeting the boy.
5. She is suffering.

What is the text about?

What is the girl’s problem?

What advice could you give to her? Your  parents worry about you. Your parents may want to prevent you from making mistakes. They know how hard it is to make a success in this life and they want you to be very well prepared for it. You should talk to your mother and speak about your feelings.

 What is the background  of all the problems in a family? Misunderstanding (generation gap) What can cause  a generation gap?

The adults don’t accept their children’s values. The young can not accept the values of their “fathers”. All these differences generate a generation gap when the young and adults do not understand one another.

8. Практикум в чтении ( контроль домашнего задания)

Let’s read the notes written by a 15-year-old boy.

а) Выполнение упр.5 стр.86

b) When young people have family problems they write about them to an agony column.

Выполнение упр.3В,С,D стр.82

B) Max says that his parents have too much control over his life and he lacks privacy.

Liam says that he and his mother have different views on fashion and  his mother decides what clothes to buy for Liam.

C) 1. You should understand your parents. It is necessary to control you. You can’t always have fun and do nothing.

They want you to get a good education. And you have to сontinue your education and think about your future, too. Without good education it is not easy to find a good job.

They just want you not to be disappointed and not to make mistakes, which they (perhaps) made in the past.

Your parents may want to prevent you from making mistakes. They know how hard it is to make a success in this life and they want you to be very well prepared for it.

Perhaps you have no problem with your parents, and perhaps you have problem with your laziness?

Your parents care for you and you should appreciate it. You should settle all your problem peacefully. You shouldn’t quarrel with your parents.

2. If you want my opinion, as long as your mother controls the purse, she controls how the money is spent.

Talk to your mother to make her see that you are growing up and, want a little more say in what to wear.

Try to explain your mother how much you dislike the styles she chooses and why.

I think that a part time job will allow you to buy things you like.

Do you think that a generation gap can be bridged?

I don’t think so. But I think that some concessions on both sides are possible. Sometimes older generations are important for young people because they can share their experience. Parents are also providing their children with pockets money. That’s why the young should be patient when older people teach them what to do, what to wear or how to think. Tolerance is the only way to bridge the gap of the generations.
