2. read the text about the life of youth in America and their prоblems. Put as many guestiоns as pоssible tо it in written fоrm.

What is it like to be a young person in the USA? At 18years of age young people in the USA can take on most of the rights and responsibilities of adulthood.

Psycologists say that most young people experience conflict during this period of their lives. They are changing rapidly, both physically and emotionally and they are searching for self-identity. As they are growing up and becoming more independent, teenagers sometimes develop different values from those held by their parents.

Some young people have difficulties in their relationship with their parents or problems at school which may lead to use of alcohol or drugs, the refusal to attend school or even to running away from home.

Howerever, for every teenager experiencing such problems, many more are making positive, important contributions to their communities, schools and society. Millions of young people are preparing for the future in exciting ways. Many teenagers are studying for college entrance exams or working a part-time jobs after school and on the weekends. They baby-sit, dog-sit, tutor, mow lawns, host toddlers’ birthday parties. Others are volunteering at hospitals, helping the handicapped, exhibiting projects at science fairs or programming computers.

During the 1960s, many youth’s met President John F.Kennedy’s challenge: ‘Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for the country.’ They volunteered to help the handicapped, the poor and the needy at home and also in foreign countries through the Peace Corps.
