Выполнить упр 6, 8 ( 7 номер просто прочитать диалог и по нему ответить на вопросы в 8 номере) 6.What solution can you offer for the following problems? 1."To the average child his parents are kill-joys.They are al­ ways saying "No". No getting dirty, no jum ping on the sofa, no running around naked, no hitting the little sister." 2. “M uch more than a direct rebuke, sarcasm infuriates chil­ dren. It makes them completely irrational and they direct all their energies to planning counter-attacks.They will be completely preoccupied with revenge fantasies. Sarcasm not only serves to deflate a child's standing in his own eyes but in the eyes of his friends as well." 3. "I don't like Jam es to play with Paul next door. Paul uses very bad language, and Jam es will pick it up. But Paul is Jam es's best friend and he sneaks out and sees him very often. So I lock him up in the bathroom as a punishm ent. Sometimes I deliberately don't speak to him for hours on end." 7. Read the following dialogue between Mrs. Brent and Mr. Alden, a teacher. A: W ould you like another cup of tea or something? B: Well, n o .......Thanks just the same. A: I am sorry to have to say this, but what would our youngsters do without the youth centre? They'd be pretty lost, w ouldn't they? B: It's all right I suppose. A:Er ... would you care to dance, Mrs. Brent? B:Thank you ... but no. The music isn't of my generation. You know ... the generation gap. W hen I was young I'd never dared speak as our children do. Especially with a teacher present. A:We've got a bit of a problem here, you see. It's part of my job to know people ... and especially young people ... as they are. And really the so-called generation gap is a myth you know. Teenagers aren't really so different. As a teacher I find them quite traditional in their attitudes. B:I'm sorry to disagree with you, but look at the way they dress... and their hair! A:I don't think you get the point. Those things are quite superfi­cial. But basically their attitudes are very similar to those of our gen ­ eration. B: There is no excuse for their language and you seem to ap ­ prove of the kind of language we hear from our children. A:Now, I didn't say that. Anyway the concepts of "approval" and "disapproval" tend to over-simplifymatters. Every generation creates its own special language just as it creates its own styles in clothes and music. B:I'd like to point out that the styles and habits of today's teen ­ agers are so ... Well basically ... unacceptable. A:You mean unacceptable to you. In fact their clothes are very practical and very simple. В: I do wish you had a teenage son or daughter of your own, Mr. Alden. A:But I have more contact with them. You see, we have regular discussions. You could come and sit in sometime if you like. And you'll realize I think how traditional their attitudes are. . 8. Answer the following questions: 1.
