1. Teacher: Glad to meet you, dear guests, teachers! Today we are having the Youth Festival. Now the participants will introduce themselves.
2. A member of Goth Subculture: Hello! I am a goth from Northern Ireland. My name is Jane. The members of goth subculture wear the blackest black, with a lot of silver jewellery and have very black hair and look as thin and pale as possible. Goths like gathering together to read Bram Stoker and talk about being vampires and about the end of the world.

Members of Hippie Subculture: We are hippies from England – Tom and Margaret.

Tom: Some people classify hippies like drug users and rock and roll fans since our behaviours differ from social norms.

Margaret: Hippies don’t conform to society’s standards and support a liberal attitude and lifestyle.

Tom: Hippies always want to change the world to the best.

Margaret: We don’t pay much attention to clothes: we like wearing old jeans, T – shirts.

Tom: We have long hair with bit of string and a couple of decorative chains.

A member of Punk Subculture: Nice to meet you! I am a punk from the USA. My name is Alex. Punks dress in a shocking way to express their identity. A punk has brightly coloured hair, wears metal chains. Punks reject everything.

Members of Rock Subculture:

Andrey:  Hello! My name is Andrey. We are rockers from Russia. People also associate rockers with something rebellious.

Valentina: My name is Valentina. I am proud to be a rocker. We prefer leather jackets, army boots, cool hats just to show off.

Member of Skinhead Subculture:

George: Don’t be afraid of me! I am a skinhead from Canada. My name is George. We skinheads cut our hair shorter than others do. The majority of us are working class, patriotic, reggae and football fanatics.

Victoriya:  Hello! I am a skinhead too, I am a Chelsea girl Victoriya from Scotland. I have a typical female skinhead haircut, short on top and longer around the sides. A smarty dressed skinhead girl needs shiny boots, nylons and a plaid skirt.

George: Boys wear heavy boots, tight trousers.

Victoriya: We are usually regarded as violent and aggressive.

3. Two girls try to understand what a meeting it is, they have come here by mistake.

Miss  Anisa: Excuse me, boys and girls. My name is  Miss Anisa. Isn’t it a concert of popular modern singers? We have come here with my friend Juliya.

Juliya: We like beautiful melodies of various singers and groups, books about love. We are always afraid of modern youth subcultures: punks, skinheads, goths and others.

Miss  Anisa: As for me, I am against youth subcultures. They bring troubles to the ordinary people. All members of youth subcultures are violent, aggressive, they scare people.

Jane (a member of Goth Subculture): I think you are mistaken. Young people have a particular relationship with the world. There are many groupings that have interests different from those of the mainstream culture. A particular cultural grouping is a way for young people to express their individuality.

Tom (a member of Hippie Subculture): To my mind valies and beliefs of punks, rockers, hippies, goths and other subcultures are to express themselves, to be in a collective, to know who they are and to change the world to the best.

Juliya: I don’t think it is good to differ from social norms. You have bad habits, I believe.

Andrey (a member of Rock Subculture): I don’t smoke to support a healthy lifestyle. Some of my friends smoke just to show off. I don’t think it is good. Of course people can try out all sort of options including smoking. I like to be in a collective but I personally prefer to be healthy.

Miss Anisa: From my point of view it is not good when young people spend much time in parks, yards instead of reading books, getting knowledge. I am sure that all members of youth subcultures have low standards of IQ. They study badly at school.

Valentina (a rocker): I don’t agree with you. I am a good student, have good marks at History, Literature, English.

Teacher: Let’s prove your words, Valentina and check-up your knowledge about the USA, its Geography, political system, History. You are to work in 2 groups and do the test “Do you know the USA?” for 3-5 minutes. The more correct answers – the better. Listening to music will help you.

(Pupils form 2 groups – 5 in each group)

Miss  Anisa:  We want to take part in this test.

QUEEN

Queen was formed in 1971, in England, by Freddie Mercury (Frederick Bulsara) – vocal, piano; Brian May – guitar, John Deacon – bass, Roger Meddows Taylor – drums. This enormously popular band performed pomp rock. Their sound combined showy glam rock, heavy metal, and vocal harmonies. They played very few gigs at the start, rehearsing for two years while they all remained in college. (May began work on a PH.D. in astronomy; Taylor has a degree in biology; Deacon, a degree in electronics; and Mercury earned a degree in illustration and design.) They began touring in 1973, when their debut album was released.

Queen has had eight gold and platinum records. In 1976, the band’s audience grew with a break – through album “A Night at the Opera”. It contained the six – minute “Bohemian Rapsody” which stayed at number 1 in England for nine weeks.

In November 1991, Mercury released a statement from his deathbed confirming the rumors that he was ill with AIDS. Just two days later he died in his London mansion at the age of 45.
