Dear students! Today we are doing to discuss some family issues concerning teenagers and their parents, adults. I believe all of you are deeply interested in today’s discussion because in some years you’ll have your own families.

2. Choose the proper meaning for the proverbs above.
3. Have we got the similar Russian proverbs?

As the baker –  so the buns,
as the father - so the son.

As the tree – so the fruit.
Like farther, like son.

Many a good father hath
but a bad son.

There is a black sheep in every flock.

Many sons take after their
fathers, not only in looks

But also in character.

Children are often like their

Parents, both in character

And in behavior.

There is a bad man in every

Family – a ne’er-do-well

Who is a cause of shame to

His parents and relatives.

“New Streetwise. Intermediate. Student’s Book.”  (Rob Nolasco, Oxford university press)

Text “Advice Special”, page 46.

         Almost all families – happy and unhappy – have the same problems. It has been known since Turgenev’s time. In his novel “Fathers and Sons” he came to the conclusion that the problem really exists. What do we call this problem? (Generation gap) – на мониторе компьютера слайд “Generation Gap + ассоциограмма”

Let's listen to the text and answer the questions below:

1. At what age did Jane start to have problem?        
2. What was the reason she dyed her hair blonde?
3. What did Jane's parents want to know before she went out?
4. What was Jane worried about during the party?
5. What did she do when she decided to break all her parents' rules?
6. What was the reason she took a taxi to her sister's house?

Students exchange their ideas on the problem.

9. What issues do you think cause conflicts between parents and teenagers?
10. What problems do teenagers face today? How do you feel about teen problems?
11. Which of the problems do you find serious?
12. Are you on friendly terms with your parents?
13. Today we've spoken a lot about relationships between teenagers and their parents. But how do you think teenagers can cope with their problems?
14. How do you solve your problems?

11. Drawing conclusion (подведение итогов).

If we compare teenagers of the past and teenagers today, we will find that they face almost the same problems and still they are different in many ways. The similarity lies in the psychology of human beings, the differences of the economical and political situations bring new problems. And now I'm sure you have become highly qualified specialists in the sphere of family relationships. Our lesson is over. Good-bye.
