Dan. Her father and mother are sitting in the kitchen and having supper.

 

Jane. Mom, where’s my new dress? I can’t find it. I have to hurry because I must be in time.

Mother. It’s in your closet. Look there.

Father. Are you going out with Dan tonight? You have school tomorrow.

Jane. I’m not going to stay late. Dan and I are going to party.

Father. Oh. No you aren’t. Your marks were terrible last semester – 6 in English and 5 in Maths. And you have to get up early for school tomorrow.

Jane. But, Dad, I finished all my homework tonight.

Father. You spent about half an hour on your homework. Sit down and study an hour more. No dates on school nights.

Jane. But Mom gave me a permission to go out tonight.

Mother. Well, dear. Today’s Dan’s birthday.

Father. Well, all right. But in the future no dates on school nights. And don’t stay out late tonight.

Jane. OK. Dad. What time do I have to be home?

Father. Tell Dan that he has to bring you home at 10:00/

Jane. Why at 10:00? Dad, I’m 16. my friends don’t have to be home so early. Kathy doesn’t have to be home until 12:00. Mom, do I have to come in so early?

Mother. I agree with your father. When I was your age, I had to be home at 9.

Jane. Oh, Mom. That was a hundred years ago. Things are different now.

Father. Don’t talk to your mother that way! And wait a minute—what about the dishes, young lady? You have to wash them before you go out.

Jane. The dishes! Why do I have to wash the dishes? Kathy didn’t have to wash dishes when she was high school.

Father.  I don’t care about Kathy.

Jane. But I don’t have time now. I have to get ready.

Father. No dishes, no dates.

Jane. Oh, all right.

4.Робота в парах “Letters”. Work in pairs.

Teacher. Everybody has problems in the life. They may be connected with money, relationships in the family, school marks, love and so on. Now I`d like you to listen to two letters and discuss them, help the teenagers.

1 - Written by a boy teenager;

2 – Written by a girl teenager.

Think and give the answers to the girl and the boy. Give your advice.

                                         

 

 

 LETTER 1

I`m a young girl of 16. I`m the only child in the family. I feel miserable. I need your help. I love my parents very much. When I was a little girl they always gave me what I wanted. But now my parents don`t understand me. They choose my friends, plan my future, I can`t use make up, cut my hair, have a boy-friend, stay late at night with my friends, wear modern clothes, go to the disco. What am I to do? Help me.

Кrylova Svitlana

                                          LETTER 2

 I`m a young boy. But my parents don`t give me pocket money. They think that pupils mustn’t have extra money. But all my friends and all my classmates at my school have pocket money. So, I can`t have a girlfriend. Modern girls like boys with good cars like “Opel”, “Nissan”, “Audi”, “Toyota”, and “Mercedes”. Maybe the girls don`t find me attractive? Or may they want me to have a lot of money? What should I do? I`m in a terrible trouble about it!

Artem

 

 (Pupils’  answers to the first letter (Nina`s)

 - Try to speak with your parent`s and explain them everything.

- Try to earn yourself

 - Parents know better.

-  You have a problem because you are the only child in the family.

 - I am sure, that you have not any real friends to help you in this difficult situation.

    Pupils’ answers to the second letter.

- Don`t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

- You are handsome, we know it exactly.

- Many girls dream to be your girlfriend.

-Pocket money is not the most important thing in people’s life.

- Repeat every day. “I`m a good boy. I`m a clever boy. I`m a talented boy. I`m a fantastic boy”.

 

Group work.” A Circle of Ideas”.

T. Now we’ll continue to discuss the problem of generations in groups and describe only one aspect of them in a circle, one by one.

5. Create your own T-shirts with your motto.

For example,

Let`s change the world to the best
Say "no" to drugs (alcohol, cigarettes)
Say "yes" to freedom (piece, love, tolerance, friendship)
Everyone has the right to life (non-discrimination)
Put cigarettes (alcohol, drugs) out of fashion.
Being a teenager means to be happy (to have great fun).

Students create T-shirts with messages and display them on the blackboard. They can choose the best message.

 

III. Завершальна частина
