Here are some opinions of different people about the values and beliefs of some youth groups. Do you agree with these opinions?
I think that the values of environmentalists are to help nature, to change the world for the best. They do not protest against their parents but they protest against organisations that pollute nature. They wear certain badges. They are very useful.
I think skinheads are extremely nationalistic. They are aggressive. They don’t conform to society standards. They reject everything.
I think it is dangerous when teenagers are aggressive.
Which of the ideas mentioned in exercise 2 are the values and beliefs of members of particular youth groups? Which of them do you think are dangerous and which are very good/useful?
I think that values and beliefs of… are… That’s why they… I think/don’t think it is good/dangerous when… They also…, but they…
What do some teens think about joining a group? (listening for specific information)
Anthony: It seems to the kids that the parents are always saying NO! That everything about us, our hair, our music, our clothes, the way we talk, our heroes, our dreams, all are considered bad by the generation who can’t stop patting itself on the back over how democratic and liberal it is.
Dick: I think the inspiration to form a youth culture comes out of a combination of fashion, style and music. And that often it’s the particularity of the music, which then gathers a group and then extends and develops.
Roger: You want to know when you’re 14, 15, 16, 17, you want to know who you are and try out all sorts of options. The way you look, or the way you dress will tell you and everybody else something about the person you need to be.
Tracy: In many ways the elder generation cannot understand the younger, because so much has increased in complexity. Besides the youth always tends to change the world.
Angela: You’re unsure of where you’re going. Some people know exactly where they’re going but most teenagers don’t have an idea, and it’s a way of, kind of, having something that they can say they belong to and that they are a ‘whatever’.
Some people write letters to newspapers to put their point of view. What would you write in support of or against something? (AB Unit 3, ex. 3)
What do you think of the attitude of society (especially grown-ups) towards the members of different youth groups and organisations?
It seems to me that some grown-ups don’t like/like… because of their… These members are thought to… But the attitude towards… is… because…
What is YOUR attitude towards the members of different youth groups? Give your reasons.

Values and beliefs of environmentalists are to help nature and to change the world for the better. That’s why they protest against organisations that pollute nature. I think it is good and useful when teenagers protect nature.
Values and beliefs of skinheads are extreme nationalism and aggression. That’s why they reject everything and do not conform to society’s standards. I think it is dangerous when teenagers are aggressive.
Some teens think that joining a group helps them find themselves, choose their style, music and clothes, and feel that they belong to someone or something. They also think that youth groups help them understand who they are and what they want to be.
I would write that young people need the freedom to choose their own style, music and interests. Adults should try to understand teenagers instead of judging them too quickly.
It seems to me that some grown-ups do not like members of different youth groups because of their appearance, clothes, music and behaviour. These members are thought to be rude or strange. But the attitude towards environmentalists is usually positive because they care about nature.
I think members of different youth groups should be respected if they do not harm other people. They may look or dress differently, but this does not make them bad. Some groups are useful, especially those that help nature or support good ideas.
