1. Warming-up.

I would like to ask you a question.

Open your books p.169. Look at some abbreviations and try to read a message. (слайд 2)

“I hav gr8 time! Wish cing u asap! HAND”

2. Сообщение темы урока. (Слайд 3)

Look at the epigraph. It is an extract from the poem of W. Shakespeare:

Crabbed age and youth

Cannot live together:

Youth is full of pleasance,

Age is full of care…

This term we speak about the life of young people. And today we are going to discuss the problems of teenagers in Russia and English-speaking countries.

3. Основная часть.

1) Listening comprehension

Let’s watch the video by an American girl. Her name is Griffin and she has her personal youtube channel. She speaks about teen’s problems.

What problems does she mention? (waking up, falling asleep, too young/too old, homework, money)

Are they serious for you?

2) Work with dictionary.

Now find out the definition of the word “teenager”. “Oxford Dictionary” p.1227. (Слайд 4)

“Teenager” is a person between 13 and 19 years old.

(Слайд 5)

Teens age is the most beautiful period of life. But teenagers have many problems.

Some problems are dangerous: violence, bullying, teen’s crime. (слайд 6)

(Слайд 7)

Nowadays there are some new problems: mobile phones, computer and TV addiction, teen terrorism, young gamblers.

3) Work with lexic.

Here are some problems. Will you choose the most important or the most urgent for you.

Later we’ll see if they coincide with the most common problems.

You had a task to make a social research. Now present the results of your work.

4) Presentation of the project.

Pupil 1. (Слайд 8)

We study articles from magazines and the Internet, describe and make classification of teens problems, make a social survey in our school and compare teen problems in Russia and the English-speaking countries.

Pupil 2. (Слайд 9)

We made a list of questions and gave it to the students of our school.

You can see the results.

The most important problems for them are communication with classmates, generation gap, depression and free time.

Pupil 3. (Cлайд 10)

After all we compared lists of teen problems in Russia with teen’ problems in the English-speaking countries.

According to our research Russian teenagers have less problems than teenagers in the UK and The USA.

For example, we don’t have such problems as obesity, gambler problem, teen terrorism.

But in general our difficulties are the same: communication, love, depressions, computer and mobile addiction.

Pupil 4. (слайд 11)

• a process of becoming a teenager is very difficult;

• Teen age is a period when teens feel like adults but they are not ready to an adult life.
