132 Work in groups of 4–5. Choose one of the following topics. Discuss it in your group. Write down your pros and cons. Report the results of your discussion to the others.

1. It's not bad to have your own pocket money for sweets, cinema, computer games, birthday presents, flowers for your girlfriend etc. Do teenagers in Russia have Saturday jobs? Why not? What can you say in favour of it?

2. In year 9 at secondary school (age 13 to 14) students in Britain have to decide which subjects they want to drop1. Usually these are subjects they are not good at. If you had a choice, what subjects would you drop next year? Why? Are there any subjects which should be studied by everyone? What are they?

3. Do you agree that students should drop the subjects they are not good at? Why? Why not? Should parents and teachers decide what subjects to continue?

Неплохо иметь свои карманные деньги на сладости, кино, компьютерные игры, подарки на дни рождения, цветы для девушки и т.д. Есть ли у подростков в России субботние подработки? Почему нет? Что можно сказать в пользу этого?

Ответ:

1. I think it's great to have your own pocket money. It helps you buy things you want, like sweets or movie tickets, without always asking your parents. It also teaches you to manage money.

Я думаю, это здорово иметь свои карманные деньги. Это помогает тебе покупать то, что ты хочешь, например, сладости или билеты в кино, не всегда спрашивая родителей. Это также учит тебя управлять деньгами.

Teenagers in Russia usually don't have Saturday jobs, at least not commonly. Most of us focus on school and homework, especially since the school week is often six days long, including Saturday classes for some. Also, finding official jobs for people under 16 or 18 can be quite difficult due to labor laws and restrictions.

Подростки в России обычно не имеют субботних подработок, по крайней мере, это не распространено. Большинство из нас сосредоточены на школе и домашних заданиях, особенно потому, что учебная неделя часто длится шесть дней, включая субботние занятия для некоторых. Также, найти официальную работу для людей младше 16 или 18 лет может быть довольно сложно из-за трудового законодательства и ограничений.

However, having a Saturday job could be really beneficial. It would teach teenagers responsibility and how to earn and manage their own money. They could learn new skills, gain work experience, and feel more independent. Plus, it would be cool to save up for something big, like a new gadget or a trip, with money you earned yourself.

Однако, наличие субботней подработки могло бы быть очень полезным. Это научило бы подростков ответственности и тому, как зарабатывать и управлять своими собственными деньгами. Они могли бы приобрести новые навыки, получить опыт работы и чувствовать себя более независимыми. К тому же, было бы здорово накопить на что-то крупное, например, на новый гаджет или поездку, на деньги, заработанные самостоятельно.

132 Read and learn what is said about smoking. Make a list of at least 3 reasons why you shouldn’t smoke.

We’ve just moved into a new flat. And the first thing I put on one of the walls was a “no smoking” sign. “That’s anti-social,” said my mother, “you can’t do that.” Oh, yes, I can. And if anything is anti-social, it is smoking.

Besides being impolite, smoking is deadly. In Britain about 50,000 people die every year because of smoking. They die from lung cancer, heart attacks and other causes, too.

In fact, statistics show that a smoker shortens his life by 5.5 minutes with each cigarette.

Smokers say that they don’t care and if they want to kill themselves with tobacco, that’s their business.

Happily, at present smoking is prohibited in many ways. You can see “No smoking” signs in many theatres, cinemas, trains, buses and restaurants. And in my flat, too!
