The Beginning of the lesson:
Organizational moment – Greeting.
The Main part of the lesson:
Look at the screen and listen to the text about the happy youth and happy life. (слайд 1)
(на слайде фотография подростка, учащиеся отвечают на вопросы учителя)(слайд 2)
-Is the person happy?
— No, he isn’t happy. It seems he is unhappy.
-Why do you think he isn’t happy?
— May be he has a problem.
-What problems has he got?
— I think it may be family or school problem.
— As for me I think he ran away from the home.
— He couldn’t cope with the difficulties.
— Is it easy to be young?
— Sometimes we think it is not easy to be a teenager.
— You are right. It is not easy to be young because teenagers today have a lot of problems.
Checking up home task: Look through newspapers, magazines, Internet, come across and write a composition about teen’s problems:
P1- One of the worst teenage problems is schooling. Sometimes you feel bad because of teachers’ or classmates’ attitude to you. You are tired of studying, that’s why you don’t have energy and time for doing other things. Also I’d like to say that a lot of teens like to look older, that’s why they obtain bad habits like smoking, drinking, taking drugs, etc. But a teen can have bad habit because of problems in private life.
P2- Parents press on their child, they think he is iron and he doesn’t feel soul ache. Parents want us to study very well; they don’t understand that we do everything a good as we can. They don’t respect our interests thinking that we become strange because of music or sporty.
P3- Every teenager has a favorite singer, writer or sportsman. But no one should become a fan, because we can kill our individuality and become clones. Sometimes a quarrel between teens can lead to serious problems. It’s very dangerous! Also bad relationships between members of the family make the teen very unhappy. The teen doesn’t get along with parents and relatives.
P4- I think loneliness, lack of pocket money or parents’ misunderstanding can make teens unhappy. None should be angry because of teen’s feelings. The boy or the girl often doesn’t control his or her feelings. Streets and street bands can make a teen ruder. That’s why parents shouldn’t allow their children to have such interests.
P5- I know a lot of boys and girls, who think that cleaning their room is the most important problem. They think it’s boring and useless, because the room will become dirty 5 minutes later. I think, teens who have comps are very boring and uninteresting. You can’t speak with them about something beside their comps. It’s a real problem, to my mind.
P6- I think that when a person grows and stops being a teen, he or she stops understanding us. Only teen can understand people, who are the same age as he is. It’s really difficult to be a teenager!
Р7-1 also have problems with some lessons and teachers. I would like to choose my favorite subjects for next year.

Task 5. I’ll give you’re an envelope with some words. Your task is put these words in the correct order and write an expression.
(There is a poster with the following words on the blackboard)
Enjoy your teens and have some fun,
Your life has only just began!
There is a reason for all these problems you are coming through your teenager years!
Write down the day and date. Write the expression into your note books.
Task 6. Fill in each gap with the given words. Change the word if you need:
Teenagers have different (ambition). They want to be (to depend) and to be (take) seriously. Most of teens try to express their (individual). The main problems are family problems, school problems and (cruel). There are many ways of (to solve) them.
Teenagers have different ambitions. They want t be depended and to be taken seriously. Most of teens try to express their individuality. The main problems are family problems, school problems and cruelty. There are many ways of solving them.
Teacher: Well done, children. Now let us make a conclusion if being a teenager is difficult or not.
Task 7. Students say their opinions and make a conclusion.
Young people want to enjoy life and be independent and be taken seriously, to express their individuality and do well at school, earn money and change the world for the best. The problem is that sometimes teens do not get what they want. As a result, teenagers try to rebel against the society and reject everything. That is why they have different problems. The reasons of these problems are rather various.
We usually go to our parents if we have problems. They guide and teach us every time we have problems. They fill our lives with love and care. They always want the best for us in everything we do. We usually go to our friends when we have problems. In order to overcome the difficulties, think that you belong to the family and that they are there always for you to guide you, to have fun with you and to love you. We can avoid by starting a new day and by realizing that it’s not for the better but for worst. Remember that we are unique. And we have a special talent that we should discover. We are love by the people around us and by our parents.
Task 8. Create your own T-shirts with your motto.
Let`s change the world to the best
Say «no» to drugs (alcohol, cigarettes)
Say «yes» to freedom (piece, love, tolerance, friendship)
Everyone has the right to life (non-discrimination)
Put cigarettes (alcohol, drugs) out of fashion.
Being a teenager means to be happy (to have great fun).
Students create T-shirts with messages and display them on the blackboard. They can choose the best message.
Summarize the lesson with one word:
Teenagers are young and full of energy;
They have lots of friends;
Young people can choose any route they want;
They are too young to see only bad sides of life.
Life is beautiful.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that growing up brings a lot of problems. But you are too young to see only bad sides of life. Remember! There is always a way out of every situation.
Now look at the board. There you can see a basket and two flowers – a red rose and a bluebell. Everyone should go to the board and choose a flower. Choosing the flower depends on the following fact – if our today’s theme of the lesson makes you think of the way you live, think of your problems, your ambitions. you should choose a red rose and if our lesson doesn’t change your mind you should choose a bluebell. You are welcome.
Учащиеся по очереди подходят в интерактивной доске и выбирают цветок.
Учитель: — Pay attention we have a brilliant basket. No doubt, the teens’ problems will increase. And young people should fell that they are cared for. So I wish you be happy and you should always remember that teenage years are the most beautiful period of our life. It is the beginning of an adult life. And our attitudes to life and people formulate in the period of being a teenager.
