3.Post-reading activities. Ex. 1(2), p. 114. What makes young people do these things? How do different people,

explain the reasons for teenagers behaviour? Example:Pi.' The Government surveys show that every fifth teenager who was

arrested for criminal actions, was younger than 14. Some specialists ex plain that the changes of our society, the system of our life force young people to choose their own lifestyle.

P2: Yes, you are right. On the one hand, our society agrees that 15-17

year-old people are old enough to be responsible for what they do and give them quite a lot of freedom and rights. On the other hand, most adults think that teenagers are too young to be taken seriously.

P3: I agree with you. This misunderstanding produces many prob lems. Actually, a lot of teenagers say that their parents let them do any thing they want and are quite indifferent to their problems. Almost half of teenagers have an experience with drugs, alcohol and sex under age of 16.

P4: I'd like to add that a lot of teenagers who have drag or alcohol

addiction almost never believe that they are dependent.
