-Look at our diagram and recall the emotional and global problems. What problems concern you most of all?

The rules of the game are: if I say “tick” you should turn to your left neighbor and speak, then I’ll invite some speaker in front of our circle and you’ll represent your talk, If I say “tack” you should turn to your neighbor and discuss the next problem. After it be ready as well to represent it in front of your groupmates. If I say “tick-tack” together you are to exchange places and continue our game.

 

Situation 1: What emotional problems do young people and you have at our Pedagogical School? How can we avoid them?

 

Situation 2: What global problems exist among young people in Ukraine? Give your ideas to overcome them.

 

Teacher: Thank you. As for as I’ve understood the problem of fathers and sons (parents and children) is the most serious. You want to be independent and your parents to listen to your opinion and not to interfere in your private life. Besides, your parents and you often have different points of you. But you should find a compromise and remember the Bible says: “Honour your father and your mother”. My advice is that you should respect your parents, because they are wiser know what is the best thing for their children.

Teacher: Is the message the same or different from the original. Now you see how rumours can appear. (the original message – “century”)

                  One of the global problems is raping. Raping is a sex crime, isn’t it? Does it happen in our country (town)? What’s the punishment for a raper? Girls, you should be careful.

Now, let’s watch the episode from the film and discuss it.
