1. Organization moment.

Good morning, pupils! Sit down, please! Nice to meet you today!

How are you? And you?

How do you feel? Are you good or bad?

You feel bad When you have some problems.

Yes, you are right. All people have this or that problem.

You are only teenagers. I think teenagers have problems too. So, we are going to speak about teenagers’ problems.

The topic of our lesson is “Problems of Teenagers”.

Today we are to ask and answer the questions:

1) Do young people have problems?

2) What difficulties do they face in real life?

1. Warming up

Is a teenager? How old is this person?

(As you know the word “teenager” comes from English language. And it means a person who is at the age from 13 to 19).

Do you think it is good or bad to be a teenager? Why?

1. Listening to the text.

Let’s listen to the talk between Marat and Linda, aged 15 and 16. You’ll have to find out the answer to the following question:

What are some of the things they like and don’t like about being a teenager?

(the question is written on the blackboard)

Children listen to the text, then answer the question.

So, what do they like about being a teenager?

What don’t they like?

4. Identification of teenagers problems.

Every young person has his own point of view on his life and future. Teenagers are self-confident, like risk. They want to try everything in the life, yo grow as soon as possible.

Have teenagers any problems?

What problem can you name?

• First love

• Gambling

• Friends

• School

• Parents

• Alcohol, drugs

• Youth movements

• Misubderstanding

5. Reading texts in groups, identifying the problem.

Now you’ll work in groups. Each group will be given texts from teens’ magazines about teenagers’ problems.

Tour task: to read, find out a problem, then tell the class about it and suggest your ways of its solution.

Gr.1 – the problem with friends, first love

Gr.2 – generation gap

Gr.3 – gambling

Gr.4 – alcohol, drugs

6. Relaxation.

One of the problems we’ve discussed is a problem of unhappy love. I’d like you to listen to a song of Madonna about it “You’ll See”.

7.Students listen to the song

So, let’s be wise and strong and try to survive in any difficult situation.

8.Reading the text.

We have mentioned many serious problems. But I’d like to speak about one more problem. It’s Bullying.

Is it a serious problem?

Have you ever faced this problem?

Now let’s read about it.

So, how can you help victims of bullying?

9.Work with situations.

We’ve discussed a lot of problems. Now we’ll continue to work in groups. Each group has an envelope with a task. Read the situation and find out the ways of solution of the problem.

1. In this family there are twins, 11-graders. One of them wants to enter a medical university, the other wants to be a military officer. And their parents want them to enter Saint-Petersburg State University, the same department. Their friends try to help the twins and give different advices.

1. Your teacher is very strict and authoritative. Most of pupils haven’t done their homework today. Some boys and girls haven’t taken the books. When the teacher begins to ask pupils she understands they are not ready for this lesson. As a result, she is getting very angry…
