Спорт для здоровья. «За» и «против» занятий спортом.

1. Организационный этап.

(На доске – пословица ”Health is above wealth” и афоризм “There are a lot of people in  this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't time to enjoy it.” Billings, an American writer, 1818-1885) Звучит песня ”Try Something Different”.

Учащиеся отвечают  на вопрос “What is the role of Health  in our life?”

2. Вступительное слово учителя о целях курса и данного занятия.

 The subject of our course is Forming a Healthy Way  of Living . We must try to understand what should we do to keep fit, what influences on your health and psychological condition.

A human body is a perfectly organized creation with millions of blood vessels. It has an extremely powerful engine that pumps gallons of blood every day.  A human brain is a fantastic mind machine. It contains around 100 billion cells, equal to the number of stars in the Milky Way.

Nowadays people are getting more and more concerned about the food they eat, about the air they breathe and the way they look and feel. They begin to comprehend  that staying active as you get older gives you more energy and helps to stave off illness. Nowadays we are offered a wide range of sport facilities to achieve general fitness. A lot of people are simply hooked on yoga, shaping, stretching and bodybuilding. We must admit that a professional sportsman is always a pleasure to look at: he doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, he keeps to a healthy diet avoiding junk food and always takes regular hours.

The subject of our lesson is sport. Today we are going to speak about the role of sport in our life .

2. Введение  лексики - названий видов спорта, используя мультимедийную презентацию.

3. Чтение. (Задание приближено к  формату ГИА )

Прочитайте текст о новом виде спорта — о паркуре. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений 1-4 соответствуют содержанию текста ( A-True ), какие не соответствуют ( 2- False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3- Not stated).

 “Parkour” - or free running – is the fast-growing extreme sport that turns everyday urban landscapes into obstacle courses. Loosely translated, “le parkour” means “using every object in your path as an obstacle”. It began in 1987 in the Paris suburbs, where bored teenagers Se ”Interesting” involved climbing up buildings, swinging around lamp posts and vaulting  anything that stayed still. With six friends, they set up “Yamakasi”- a group which later split when five of them opted to take work as theatre  acrobats, but not before it had lead to a 2001 film off the same name.

 

        Nowadays it’s a global phenomenon. The UK-based parkour website gets 10,000 visitors a day.  Foucan is surprised to say the least. “For me, it’s amazing but it’s my goal to meet people from all over the world and to spread the philosophy,” he says. This philosophy is all about challenging and improving yourself. That’s why there are no competitions in parkour, and definitely no world records.

        There have been serious setbacks. One person died after trying some of the moves in the Yamakasi film. And since the rise of parkour’s popularity amongst the general public there have been more than a few broken bones. The key thing is that you must learn how to roll. If you can roll – across your shoulders, never on your spine – it transfers the energy so you don’t get hurt. You land, you roll, you stand up and you keep running.  And if you are going to leap from a tall building, or even just off the back of your sofa, you should know how to land properly.

        But as the saying goes, it s practice that makes perfect. And you have to be able to suppress any doubts or fears. When you get scared, your muscles become tense and you’re more likely to lose coordination. If the fear gets to you, it’s all over, so you really have to have confidence in your training.

           1. “Free running” was invented in France.

  1. True        b) False        c) Not stated

           2. Foucan knew it would become this popular.

  1. True        b) False        c) Not stated

Smoking tobacco is the leading cause of lung disease. Smoking also has been linked to heart disease, stroke and many kinds of cancer.

Tobacco smoke also causes lung infections in up to 300,000 American children each year. The American Cancer Society says there is no safe way to smoke. It says smoking 10 to cause damage immediately.

        3. Listen to the text. Read the recommendations on how to stop smoking.

1. Try not to worry about people and situations.

2. Carefully plan your actions for at least one week.

3. Don`t start smoking at all.

4. Attend special self-help programs.

 9. If you drink alcohol, try to give up drinking for some time.

10. Take medicine.

4. Read the script and choose the correct word.

We have some other ideas to help you stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop. It says one method or a combination of methods may be successful. They include attending self-help programs or (following, showing, looking for, finding) directions in a book. The group says any way to stop smoking that is legal, moral and effective (are worthy of, are worth of, is worth, is worth of) trying. To stop smoking, you (may, can, should, need) carefully plan your actions for at least one week. Try to stay (far, away, above, out) from people and situations that might trouble you. Do not go to public places where people are smoking. If you drink alcohol, you probably will need to stop drinking temporarily. Many people (lose, loose, lost, forget) their inner strength when they drink alcohol. They experts say it is best to stop smoking completely. Even one cigarette can make you a smoker (soon, again, once more, one more time). In the first week or to two without cigarettes, you probably will feel terrible. You may be angry all the time or you may feel sad. You may have a headache or your stomach may feel sick. Do not lose hope. If you stay away from tobacco, those feelings will go away  in a few weeks. Tell yourself that you will be happier as a (unsmoker, not-smoker, smoker-off, non smoker). Tell yourself that nicotine should not control your life.

It is not easy to stop smoking permanently. However, doctors say you probably will live (much more long, further, farther, longer) if you do stop smoking. You will live better and look better. You also will (protect, prospect, respect, protect to) the health of other people who breathe your smoke. The American Cancer Society says (much, more, the, -) sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they can reduce their chances of getting cancer and other diseases. It says blood pressure returns to normal 20 minutes after smoking the last cigarette. Carbon monoxide gas levels in the blood return to (medium, normal, standard, lower) after eight hours. After one day, the chance of heart attack decreases. After one year, the risk of heart disease for a non-smoker is half that of a smoker.

Experts say there are (no, any, some, not any) products designed to help end a smoker’s dependency on cigarettes. There are several kinds of nicotine replacement products that provide small amounts of the substance. These can help people stop smoking. A drug to fight depression has proved effective for (much, lot, any, many) smokers. Depression is the (metal, mind, brain, mental) condition that causes extreme sadness and hopelessness. The anti-depressant is called Zyban. It does not contain nicotine. The drug works by increasing levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain. Dopamine produces feelings of pleasure.

Move around as much as possible. Go for a quick walk or a run (for, on, -, away) at least two times a day. Walking or running will make your breath deeply. This will help clear (a, the, an, -) nicotine from your body. Also, when you have the urge to smoke, you could chew gum or eat a piece of fruit or vegetable instead. (In a time, Later on, For a long time, Every now and then), you will continue to have periods when you really want a cigarette. Yet these times will come less often. One day, you will recognize that you have won the struggle against smoking.

     5. Дискуссия.   Questions for discussion

           1) If you were smoking and wanted to give it up, what methods would you prefer?

          2) Think of your own pieces of advice how to stop smoking.

          3) Many doctors say that giving up smoking leads to fatness. Is it a serious reason for young women (those who smoke) to continue doing it?

          4)   Imagine that you or your friend try to stop smoking. Is it O.K. to ask for parents’ support?

      Say what you think about the following statements:

 1)  You start smoking to prove that you are a man. And then you try to give up smoking to prove that you are a man.

2) The best way to stop smoking is to carry wet matches.

3)  To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did: I ought to know because I’ve done it a thousand times. (M. Twain)

  • Do you think that nowadays people drink more than a century ago?
  • Did children drink alcohol those days?
  • Why do teenagers drink now?

 2. Read the teenagers' opinions about drinking alcohol. Who thinks:

1)  It's OK.

2) To drink often is bad, but to drink at a party or with friends is fine.

3) Teens drink for individual reasons.

4) Teens should do what they want.

Rashida - 17 - San Francisco

Teenagers are going to do what they want to do. I don't drink, but I know many people who do. Most people I know do it when they're with a group of friends and they can't find anything better to do. There should be safe, fun places where young people can hang out with their friends at night.

Will-17-Seattle

I've been so drunk that I've been sick everywhere! But 1 keep on doing it because I think it's fun!

       Sally - 14-Chicago

Young people know the risks but they drink for individual reasons; some are bored, for others it's peer pressure, others want to rebel to get attention.

Sean - 16 - New York

Getting drunk every week is stupid, but having a drink when you're out with friends or at a party is fine. The legal limit for alcohol should be 16, by that age you should be mature enough to drink responsibly and not be stupid.

What do they suggest? Choose the opinion that you most agree with.

3. Read the articles. Match them with their headlines.

     1) The average American teenager has their first alcoholic drink at the age of thirteen but most teenagers don't know how to drink sensibly. One third of US teenagers believe that an average can of beer contains less alcohol than an average glass of whisk y and 4.4 million teenagers have monthly drinking binges (binge drinking is at least five drinks one after the other for men and four for women). 16 % of teenagers have lost consciousness after drinking alcohol.

     2) Lots of US schools are using special large glasses that kids put over their eyes to make them feel like they are drunk. The good think is that you're not really drunk so you can remember how bad it felt and how stupid it would be to drive.        

     3) Drinking too much can be very dangerous. Many kids don't know that you can actually die from too much alcohol. Drinking and driving is a big problem in America. Every day in the US six teenagers get into a car and they don't get out alive because of drinking and driving. Drinking alcohol from a young age can cause problems when you are older too. Young people who start drinking before 15 are more likely to have a drink problem when they are adults.        

  1. At 21 years, the US has one of the highest legal minimum drinking ages in the world. This high limit has saved thousands of lives through averted" drink-driving accidents, and research has shown that delaying the onset of drinking reduces alcohol consumption for the rest of your life - and reduces your likelihood of becoming an alcoholic. But American teenagers feel that the limit is unreasonably high. After all, they can vote, marry, buy a house, and join the armed forces before the age of 21. And so - by obtaining alcohol from adults, using fake identification or buying from vendors who do not ask for ID- American teenagers drink illegally, and without adult supervision.  Even President Bush's twin teenage daughters have been repeatedly caught under-age drinking.

  1. Another worrying trend is the dramatic increase in heavy drinking amongst women. Women's bodies cannot cope with as much alcohol as men can. Research shows that women experience alcohol - related liver damage at lower consumption levels than men, and women face other health risks - for instance drinking while pregnant can harm your body.

Headings:

a.        Why is drinking alcohol a problem for teenagers?

b.        How can you teach teenagers about the dangers of alcohol?

c.        Women's bodies cannot cope with as much alcohol as men's

d.        How big is the problem?

e.        Old enough to know better?        

4. True or False? Which of the following statements are true, according to the articles. Give your opinion.

    1) Experts haven't been able to prove a direct link between alcohol and violence.

    2) Alcohol was until recently the 4th leading cause of death in the USA.        

     3) There is no link between alcohol and liver damage.

     4) US teens can't buy a house or join the army until they are 21years old.        

     5) The legal age for drinking in the USA is 21.

      6) You are less likely to become an alcoholic if you don't drink in your teens.

     7) Peer pressure stops a lot of people drinking.

     8) Levels of drinking amongst women have not risen so much as amongst men.

      9) Women's bodies are better at coping with alcohol than men's.

ANALYSIS

   Mostly As: You are very sensible about alcohol. You are a strong person who doesn't give in to peer pressure. Well done!

   Mostly Bs: You are quite sensible about alcohol. You know that a little alcohol won't really harm you but remember never give in to pressure to do something you're not comfortable with.

Mostly Cs: You are not sensible with alcohol and you probably think that drinking alcohol is cool or you are giving in to peer pressure. Remember that alcohol can be dangerous. You need to read the articles.

2. Match the first and the last paragraphs. What heading will you write for the articles? Which articles are about positive/negative things that young people can be involved into? Discuss them.   Add something for each topic.

1. Increased drug use among people today is a problem that must be dealt with by society to prevent from causing more damage than it already has.

a. In conclusion solutions to the problem lie in education and in strict law enforcement. More importantly, teen-agers should be provided with adequate recreational facilities to put an end to the boredom that drives them to drinking.

2. The problem of teenage alcoholism is one that worries officials and parents. To drink a bottle of beer is the easiest way to feel cool and to prove to other teens that you are cool.

b. In my opinion, sport should be used as much as possible to encourage young people to lead a more healthy and peaceful life instead of being involved in drug misuse.

3. Physical education has long been part of the school timetable for children; imagine an educational program which does not include some forms of physical education.

c. If something isn't done soon, an alarming increase in the number of young drug users is inevitable, which will undoubtedly have a harmful effect upon society as a whole.

4. As far as education is concerned, sport is an important part of every child's schooling, as it plays a big role in both their physical and mental development. It teachers children how to work as part of a team and cooperate with others.

d. At present, it seems that many students do not take part in any kind of physical activity at all. Will we see PE slowly disappear from our schools and only to be replaced by more "useful" lessons in future?

  • Last year in the UK 36,540 unmarried teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19 had a baby.
  • In the USA nearly one million teenage American girls become pregnant each year.
  • Britain has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in Europe.
  • The teenage pregnancy rate in Britain is twice that of Germany and four times that of France.
  • The Netherlands has the lowest teen pregnancy rate in Europe.
  • 4 out 10 teenage girls in the world become pregnant before they are 20.

a. Answer the questions:

Are you surprised by the facts?

Is teenage pregnancy typical only of poor countries?

What country has the lowest/highest rate of teen-pregnancy in Europe?

     b. Underline the key word(s) in each statement of the statistics.

 3 (a). Read jumbled paragraphs. To form an article organize them in logical order and find the proper heading (a-f) for each paragraph. (Задание приближено к формату ГИА).

1. Most teen girls are delighted when they first realize they are pregnant? they are given gifts and look forwards to having a body. However the reality is often a terrible shock even when the girl's parents help. Most can't cope with looking after a body and school work and drop out of school. In most cases the teen mother needs a job to pay for the baby, she has to find somebody to look after the baby while she is working or studying. Due to these problems, most teen mothers do not find good job.

2. In most cases the father does not help financially or emotionally. If he is young too he can't help very much because he has the same problems as the mother. In the past, the couple would get married but evidence showed because the couple were so young, it didn't work.

3. Life can be very hard. Many grow up in poverty or are neglected" because the mother is too young to care for them properly. In the majority of cases the children do not do well at school because their mother has no time to encourage them or because she did not have a chance to do well in school, she cannot help them with schoolwork.

4. Teen mothers are given some welfare money to help them survive. Around the USA and parts of Britain, there are some schools that have a special childcare center for the teen mothers. The center looks after the babies while their mothers are in class. They also teach the mother how to make sure the baby stays healthy. Although these centers are helpful, they have been criticized for how much they cost the state.

5. Teens in the USA in particular are constantly warned of the risks of getting pregnant. Sex education starts as early as 3rd grade, messages to say no to sex appear on TV, stories of young girls getting pregnant are constantly in teen magazines. However, the truth is most teens believe it won't happen to them.

6. Some say teens should be taught to abstain from sex until they are married, others say we should give them more information. Some schools use 'Think-it-Over-Dolls'. These are dolls that cry during the night and must be picked up. They also need to be 'fed'. The dolls record it if you hit them or drop them. Teens are given the dolls to look after for a weekend.

a.        What is life like for teen mothers?

b.        What help is available for teen parents and their kids?

c.        Why do so many teens end up in this situation? They must know the risks.

d.        What is life like for their children?

e.        How can the number of teen pregnancies be reduced?

f.        What about the children's dads?

 3 (b). True or False or Not Stated.

1. If the mother is too young, children are often neglected, they don't study well, because she can't help them with homework.

2. In the USA sex education begins in the 7th grade.

3. The most teens don't believe that pregnancy will happen to them.

4. The government doesn't take care of teen-mothers.

5. The special childcare centers aren't helpful, so they are often criticized.

6."Think-it-Over-Dolls" are used to give the girls the chance to practise how to look after a baby, how difficult it is.

 2 (c). Complete the sentences:

  1.      Most teen mothers don't find good job, because...

     5.     "Think-it-Over-Dolls" are dolls that cry and...

     6.       Teenagers in the US are constantly warned of...

 3. Read the extract below about teen pregnancy. It is a warning from an anti-pregnancy advertisement. Words in bold are in the wrong place. Can you put them in the right place?

  1. If you aren't careful, you will be very tired a teen parent.
  2. If you have to look after a child, you will become socialize.
  3.  If you won't be able to a baby, it will wake you up in the night.
  4.  If you won't get in the night, you have.
  5.  If you don't finish school, you wake up a good job.

            5. Read the story happened to a Russian girl. Did it end well?

ALL WELL THAT ENDS WELL?

Ann had a birthday party, and nobody interested her as much as one of the guests - a good-looking boy of 18 who seemed to be an ideal friend who she needed at that time. They were just introduced to each other, but Ann felt she was being lost in his velvety blue eyes full of tenderness. She noticed his look at her and smiled with her heart sinking. It was clear to everybody: they would be together, and perhaps for their whole lives.

nn and Serge spent an enjoyable time talking about everything, but the words were not important or necessary for they felt they had been looking for each other for a long time, each lived in the heart of the other and was as close as possible. All the guests thought it was a wonderful loving couple. Ann found that Serge was rather sociable and free in communicating, without any complexes, even sometimes saucy, but that didn't matter to her. She was so glad to be near such an attractive boy, who easily made girls fall in love with him; Ann was proud when she saw some curious and jealous glances at them. And Serge... he was so confident of his good looks that accepted Ann's adoration as something obvious.

A month passed, and it brought a lot of remarkable moments of delight to Ann, as she met Serge almost every day. She believed she had found a great and bright love... but one fine morning she opened her eyes and understood that she had made a big mistake...

At first Ann felt fear, for she was only 15, and wasn't ready for such a turn of her fate. Then she tried to quiet herself, thinking that she had become a grown-up and had to make important decisions. Ann's parents were always too busy and tired to give a piece of advice; they provided independence in the full sense of this word to their daughter. But could she share this problem with them?!

Nevertheless it happened, and Ann heard her heard beating pleasantly; she closed her eyes, dreaming about a little laughing baby and imagined herself with a pram proudly telling her surprised friends of her age about her loving husband. But suddenly a thought came to her: "What will Serge say? Oh, I hope he will be as happy as I am." She called Serge, but was shocked by the cold tone of his voice when he heard the staggering news: "Are you sure?" Ann threw the phone down and burst into tears.

Can you imagine the end of this tragic story? Ann wasn't able to get rid of the child, she left school, her life turned out to be broken. She didn't meet Serge anymore. Ann had to stay at home with the baby, and it was so difficult to start her adult life, full of problems and troubles.

It's a typical, real story which has a wonderful beginning but an awful end. I don't want to tell you that all pretty boys are dangerous (I fall in love with them too), and that we should avoid them. But I'd like to draw your attention to these figures: about 20 per cent of abortions are of young girls of 14-16, and about 3 per cent of them can't solve this problem and decide to leave this world forever.

I wouldn't raise this question, but not long ago I heard such a strange opinion from one of my good and dear friends: "Sometimes girls are too thoughtless, they are as much responsible for their deeds as boys are." And this point of view is rather popular. However, I know several girls who got married, or were left with a baby on their hands at 15-17, and I can't believe that teenagers of this age are eager to care for children and husbands; to relinquish further education, rooting themselves to the house. We need freedom, joy, communication, new friends... and it can disappear in a moment?! Don't be in a hurry, we all will turn into grown-ups at one time and change our life utterly. But now - enjoy every minute of your young age (of course, reasonably), the more so as it is spring, the time of entertainment, happiness and love!

 Do you have any problems at home? Do you get on well with your parents? Do you think they don't understand you or they are too strict?

2)  So here is “Parents’ test”. Just how bad are your parents? Are they normal? Answer the questions, and see how your parents score. Then compare their scores with other people.

Score 6-10: Oh dear. Are your parents doing their job property? They’re a bit soft, aren’t they? You might think this is wonderful, but actually you need a few rules in life. Without rules, you’ll grow up into a big sortie too, and life will be a shock. Ask your parents to give you some rules, and start telling you off more often.

Score 11-14: This is good, believe it or not. Your parents are thinking about you and your future and would like you to grow up happy and normal – and you probably will. It’s a strange world, isn’t it?

Score 15-18: Wow! Your parents are incredibly strict. If they really are this strict, then you’re a member of a royal family or something, and all these rules are necessary for your safety. If not, try telling them that you don’t need that much protection. But you have to show them that you can be responsible and that you’re beginning to think and act like an adult. Then they won’t worry so much.

3) Чтение. Read these passages and choose the best answer for the questions below.

    ТОDAY'S YOUTH

... And one of the most important factors is that the children of today differ from previous generation, and differ a lot. They grow up quicker - physically and mentally. They sometimes lack knowledge, but they know what they want in this life. They are personalities even at the age 14-15. Unfortunately some grown-ups don't understand this, and try to show teens "the right way of life". It's stupid, for children don't want to listen to them; very often grown-ups lose contact with teens.

1) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

         A. the children of today differ a lot from previous generations

         B. very often grow-ups lose contact with teens because the young are personalities even at the age 14-15.

         C. very often grow-ups lose contact with teens because they try to show teens "the right way of life".

         D. the teens of today know what they want in this life.

... Yes, I completely agree that they grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They doubt that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds.

2) Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

          A. the young don't like the ideas and values of their elders

          B. they think only about themselves

          C. they think more for themselves and doubt that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds

          D. they don't want to be dependent on their parents

... What the young reject more than anything is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility?

Traditionally, the young have turned to the older for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old - if they are prepared to admit it - could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not sinful. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and your leisure.

3) The main idea of this passage is that:

           A. The young reject conformity, apply enjoyment to all aspects of life, including work, and could teach a thing or two the older generation if they were prepared to admit it.

           B. The young want complete freedom and responsibility, and don't want to turn to the older for guidance because the older generation can't apply enjoyment to all aspects of life.

Parents and Children - Who is Right and who is Guilty?

1) The problem which I am going to discuss is as old as the world but it is still being discussed nowadays. For some the answer to this question is quite clear. But I suspect that most children are still going to face this problem very often. They try to find a way out, but sometimes it is not enough for effective results. Because of this it is necessary to search again for harmony between parents and children, old and new generations.

2) The most obvious aspect of the topic is that children think they are the victims of their parents' power. This is normal because life is not static. Sometimes parents do not understand us. It is hard to image that you never have conflicts with your parents about your dressing style, music, interests, friends and so on. How often have you heard phrases in family arguments such as "That is absurd!", "I have made my decision and it is final", "I am not going to argue about it!"

The parents' advantage in this case is quite clear. In the transition period we, as a rule, depend on our tutors".   It is not a problem for parents to find arguments against children's actions. The reasons can be                                          different: danger, anxiety, trouble and so on. For many years children do not understand their parents. But eventually a new period of life comes. It is necessary to persuade parents that the child has become independent. Otherwise children remain with a "child status" for a long time.

3) No, I do not think that you should run to your parents and demand independence. It is not simple because many arguments will not work. I just present all sides of the conflict in order to find a way to achieve harmony and to make a compromise.

4) The second aspect is not so popular. Children see in parents first of all people who gave us life. Later they notice other sides of them with negative and positive aspects. Parents become competitors and idols, enemies and friends, and sometimes even "children". One day you see that your parents are like kids with strange habits. The idea comes that you have changed positions; you do not understand your parents, and you have life yourself. When this moment comes, it is better to support them and to give them understanding, as you wanted the same thing from them many years ago. 5). Maybe someone is very far from this topic; still I believe that it is true and, independently of time, this problem will be eternal.

5. Discussion. 

1)  Do you agree with the author?

2)  Can you answer the question of the title?              

3)  In your opinion, what is the most important problem confronting youth in Russia today? Why do you think so?

 3. Read the text and find the sentence which:

a)  explains what "generation gap" is

b)  shows the result of research of the problem

c)  says about children's attitude to the parents' authority

In recent decades much has been made of the term 'generation gap', referring particularly to the gap in age, aspiration and understanding between young teenagers and their parents that often appears to be the cause of friction. However, research indicates that many young people still perceive their parents, rather than their teachers or other adults, as models from whom they draw their main beliefs and attitudes. Parents are also regarded as the main providers of advice about general problems as well as about employment. Survey findings show that many young people have an ambivalent attitude to the constraints of parental authority. They aspire to the independence to go out where and when they want but they understand the fact that parents are concerned about where they are going and set times for them to return home.

TEEN AGE

One day I walked down N. street. It was raining. I felt lonely. No sun, no green trees, no smiling faces. November was in my soul. I saw a monument. I didn't know who the figure was. Frankly speaking, it mattered nothing to me. But I came across a crazy idea: to talk to him. 'Hi! I am as alone as you are.' To my surprise he said: 'Hi! I was shocked! I have never heard the voice of a monument. 'I see you are shocked. Don't you know that monuments can talk like people?' 'But why haven't people ever heard your voice?' 'Alas! People have never tried to talk to us. You think we are a mere mass of marble or bronze. I observe people and think a lot about them. They are passing by so fast, and nobody looks around! Have you ever looked at the sky? Have you ever seen the stars?' 'I'm sorry for the mankind. But in our practical world we suffer from a lack of time. We can't spend it on such stuff I tried to explain. '. But then how cruel and selfish you are! In my first life (when I was a man) I was like you. I wanted to be at the top. All people wanted to be at the top! But I was the best!'

'Oh, I know who you are. You are Napoleon, aren't you?' I guessed.

'Foolish girl! You are so naive!'

'Stop! Don't forget that you are only a monument,'

'Sorry. You - people - are all quite the same.'

'Forgive me, please.'

     The monument kept silent for several minutes and for those minutes I waited. Frankly speaking, I felt admiration talking to him. Them I said, "Hi, Mr. Napoleon! What are you thinking about?" mom has already cooked a tasty dinner, your dad is sitting and watching TV as usual; your brother is listening to his crazy music. They love you. Go home and don't disturb me!'

After his words I thought: 'Really, what am I doing here? Alone, in the rain? It's simply my dangerous age - teen age, as my mom says'.

a.  Your parents are worrying about you.

b.  To my surprise the monument began speaking.

c.  What am I doing here?

d.  November was in my soul.

e.  How cruel and selfish you are!

f.  A crazy idea came to my mind.

g.  I observe people passing by.

h.  I felt lonely.

i.   It's simply my teen age.

j.  They love you.

k.  I’m thinking about eternal things.

l.   It was raining.
