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 ex­plain 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 prob­lems. Actually, a lot of teenagers say that their parents let them do any­thing 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.
