T: Now change your “Self- assessment Sheet” with your classmate and mark the text.

The text and the assessment criteria are on the screen. (Слайды №19, №20)

The text “What problems worry young people in Russia?”

In my opinion, young people have many problems in Russia. Most of them want to enjoy life, be independent and be taken seriously . Teenagers often want to express their individuality or earn money, but they don’t know how to do it. Some of them start to rebel against the society and reject everything . It causes violence and cruelty. There are many young people who have drug addiction and drinking problems. Personally, I think it happens because they get depressed and upset when they can’t solve their problems. Parents can help teenagers to cope with difficulties if they pay more attention to their problems. At the same time, teenagers have to decide what they want to have in future. They should think of what they can do to be independent, responsible and useful for the society.

( “5” – all the sentences are completed;the words and phrases are used semantically and grammatically correctly; the text is built correctly;

“4” - 1-2 sentences are not completed; the words and phrases are used semantically and grammatically correctly;the text is clearly built;
