Unit 10 «Are we different or alike»

Part I. Listening (14 points-max)

Tapescript

Task 1. Listen to the tape about teenagers and answer if these statements are true or false.

There are many young people in our country. Teenagers are a group of young people of the age of thirteen – nineteen years old. I’m fifteen so I belong to that group. There are many problems, which are common for all young people. For example: how to spend free time, what to do after finishing school, how to deal with the classmates and parents. The problem number one is the problem of fathers and sons. All teens want to be independent, we don’t like when our parents try to rule every step of our life. Our parents don’t like our clothes and our music. They often try to treat us like small children. But if you really want to solve this problem you must try to understand each other. Some teens begin smoking and drinking alcohol to show that they are grown-ups already. This will lead to poor health in future (especially for girls). I don’t like smoking (nobody smokes in our family) and I think you mustn’t do it to look like a cool guy. The most serious problem nowadays is taking drugs and AIDS (the disease when the body’s immune system is not working). I think that every teen must go into sports or have a hobby, and know that you are responsible for your life by yourself.

Task 3.Read the text and decide if the statements given below are true/false or not stated.

Many things have changed over the past decades. Same can be said about the life of modern teenagers. Today teens are more independent, have other interests, and are definitely lazier than before. Computer is the root of most changes in the society. Modern teenagers spend almost all their free time online, playing computer games, chatting with friends, surfing social networks, instead of going out and doing some outdoor activities. Modern children can’t imagine their life without cell phones, tablets and MP3 players. Previous generations of teenagers could still be seen in the streets jumping, running around and playing active games. Today, teenagers are mostly seen online. From the one hand, it’s certainly not good. Teens have a number of problems, which they don’t want to discuss with adults. Chatting with friends, at least they can share with them. Being online, they can also find answers for many urgent questions or problems. Modern teenagers are luckier than other generations for having the freedom of choice and life full of possibilities. It’s a “computer-based” generation. Even their homework is done with the help of computers and the Internet.
