about teenagers and their problems.
Ang teenager (a common name for a young person between the ages
of 13 and 19) goes through a very difficult period in life. Doctors say that
grow up quickly, both physically and emotionally and they try to face the
most young people experience conflict during this period of time. Teenagers
challenge of life. Each year they become more independent
, develop values
different from those kept by their family. Teenagers begin to be influenced
by the values expressed by their friends, the media (television, the Internet,
radio
, magazines, newspapers) and teachers. They also start taking part in
social activities such as sporting events, church group projects. They spend
more time in the company of friends than with their family.
Both society and parents are very anxious about teenagers' behaviour.
The unlimited access to the Internet resources, a variety of television
programmes, all kinds of literature shape a teenager's character and a set
of values. There are no such teenagers who are free of a serious conflict.
Some young people have difficulties in their relationships with parents or problems at
school which may lead to alcohol or drugs, the refusal to attend school or even running
away from home.
However, going in for sports, volunteering at hospitals, programming computers, studying
for college entrance exams help to cope with problems.​

My school was founded in 1971. Later, a sports field was attached to it. The most remarkable thing about my school is its botanical garden, located along the fence. Passing by our school it is impossible to pass without stopping and not looking at this beauty. My school has 4 floors, one of which is occupied by my favorite dining room. Classes are equipped with computers and projectors for the productive education of children. The school also has a library. The cabinets of physics, chemistry and biology are decorated with posters of famous scientists. Formulas and maps are hung for mathematics and geography. I really like my school and I hope you will like it too!

Перевод:

Моя школа была образована в 1971 году. Позже к ней была пристроена спортивная площадка. Самое примечательное в моей школе это ее ботанический сад, расположенный вдоль забора. Проходя мимо нашей школы нельзя пройти не остановившись и не посмотрев на эту красоту. В моей школе 4 этажа, один из которых занимает любимая столовая. Классы снабжены компьютерами и проекторами, для продуктивного обучения детей. В школе так же работает библиотека. Кабинеты физики, химии и биологии украшены плакатами известных ученых. Для математики и географии развешаны формулы и карты. Мне очень нравится моя школа и надеюсь она вам тоже приглянется!

- Hello.
- Hey. How are you? What have you been up to recently?
- I'm fine, thank you. Not much. I've been thinking about Halloween and where can I spend it. What about you?
- Actually, I'm going to throw a Holloween party at my house.
- Wow. That's great! Have you thought this through already?
- Not really. I don't even know where to start.
- Okay, I'll help you with it. Firstly, you have to decide on snacks and drinks.
- I guess, it would be nice to buy some candies and maybe some chips. Basically, I'm going to buy something that you can eat without a fork or a spoon. As for drinks, I'm going to buy some Cola, Srpite, maybe some juice and water. What do you think?
- You've made a good decision. From my expirience, noone wants to eat something heavy or something that requires using spoons or forks at the party. Next thing you need is decorations.
- Oh, right! I think about buying a lot of pumpkins and cutting faces and things on it. Also, I think about buying some Halloween-themed candles and houseware. I don't know. I guess I'll decide at the shop.
- Who are you going to invite to this party?
- My house is really big, so I think I will invite my classmates and all the people I know. They can bring their friends, too. Oh, this is going to be so much fun!
- Fantastic! Have you though about your costume, though?
- I totally forgot about it! Thank you for reminding me. I have to think about something simple, since I don't have much time or money for making it. I might go as a pirate or something. What about you? You're going to my party, right? Who are you going to dress as?
- Of course, I'm coming to your party! I actually have made my costume already. But I want to keep it a secret. You'll like it, I'm sure.
- Well, I can't wait to see it. So, I think I should go prepairing for the party.
- Okay. Bye. No! Wait! When is the party starting?
- Oh, right. I completely forgot. It's on the 27th of October at 9 pm. Come and bring your friends!
- I will! Goodbye.
- Bye-bye.
