3. First problem: Botellón That means: The big bottle.

4. Young people meet at the weekend in parks or big areas to socialize, bringing their own drinks.

5. You may think that this is not bad,but.........

9. It has many consequences: A massive amount of rubbish. Noise at night, which disturbs the surrounding neighbourghoods. Damage to young people’s health.

11. S econd problem: noise pollution

14. AND THESE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES....

16. Solutions: in my school we are trying to solve the problem by.. Playing music during the breaks People listen and stop shouting Trying to make students and teachers conscious of the problem A specific campaign against noise at school with posters, competitions…

17. Third problem: waste of water
