[01:10.15]Match the students with their ideas from 1a.
[01:14.56]What's the matter, Peter?
[01:16.83]You look tired.
[01:18.74]I am, Mei.
[01:20.37]Life's tough for teenagers sometimes,isn't it?
[01:23.78]Well, yes,it's not as easy as before.
[01:28.35]It's important to my parents
[01:30.09]that I do well at school.
[01:32.37]But it's so hard for me.
[01:34.14]I need to get a good report card so badly.
[01:38.26]Well,I've learnt that if you have a problem,
[01:41.59]it's important to talk it over to someone.
[01:44.45]What do you think, Ling?
[01:46.75]Well, I think Peter needs to get enough sleep.
[01:50.89]For me that's harder to do now in Grade 9.
[01:54.45]You're right.
[01:55.62]But I think it's more important for teenagers
[01:58.11]to work hard and sleep more.
[02:00.42]Do you?But what about friends?
[02:04.16]Of course,friends are important to every
[02:06.90]teenager,but we need to balance our time
[02:09.60]between work and leisure.
[02:11.19]And another thing...
[02:12.53]Hey, Mark,you sound like my father.
[02:16.17]I do?Well maybe that's because
[02:19.14]I have a close relationship with my parents.
[02:21.87]In fact,I think spending time with my parents
[02:24.82]is the most important thing.
[02:28.50]1c PAIRWORK
[02:31.29]Make conversations using the ideas in 1a.
[02:36.01]Do you think it's important to exercise?
[02:38.63]I guess so.How about you?
[02:40.87]Yeah,I do.
[02:42.43]Exercising helps teenagers to stay healthy.
[02:45.45]I think it's also important to spend time with
[02:47.97]friends.Uh huh,I agree.
[02:52.47]2a Listen to a class conversation.
[02:56.80]Choose the correct answer.
[02:59.38]Good morning,class.
[03:01.08]Today we have Mr Brown,
[03:03.27]the school advisor,to talk to us.
[03:06.11]Good morning,everybody.
[03:08.12]First,I'm sure you often feel
[03:10.17]that adults don't care about
[03:11.75]your health and happiness.
[03:13.47]But I want to tell you that we do.
[03:16.30]So,let's start with some questions.Yes?
[03:20.28]We are given a lot of homework,
[03:22.29]and so I need to study late every night
[03:26.06]to finish it.
[03:27.39]Is this good for me?
[03:29.98]Well, not really.
[03:31.76]In order to be healthy,
[03:33.26]teenagers need to get enough sleep.
[03:35.94]Can you ask your teachers to help you
[03:37.76]with this problem?
[03:39.11]I'm nearly 16.
[03:41.41]Do you think I'm too young
[03:43.77]to decide what to do in my free time?
[03:46.88]That's another good question.
[03:48.89]I don't think you're too decide,
[03:51.65]but it's always better to talk things
[03:53.57]over with your parents.
[03:54.91]Let them know about your life
[03:57.01]share it with them more.
[03:58.70]I need to do that.
[04:00.34]My parents say I'm too quiet at home.
[04:03.22]Well,maybe they think you're unhappy.
[04:05.60]One last question?
[04:07.62]Yes.Mr Brown, my parents tell me
[04:11.99]it's dangerous to chat on the internet.
[04:15.28]But do you think it's Okay?
[04:17.37]In order to be safe,
[04:18.72]you need to be very careful.
[04:21.10]There are many dangers--especially for teenagers
[04:24.72]Choose carefully who you chat
[04:26.65]with on the Internet,
[04:28.04]and never agree to meet a stranger
[04:30.68]it's just not safe enough these days.
[04:33.72]Thank you.
[04:35.30]It seems that what is most important is
[04:38.32]for you all to believe that adults want to help
[04:41.79]you to live safely and happily.
[04:44.39]Thank you for coming,Mr Brown.
[04:48.29]2b Listen again and complete the sentences
[04:55.04]2c PAIRWORK
[04:57.23]Talk about your own problems with your partner.
[05:00.46]Give advice to each other.
[05:02.79]I need to help my parents with the housework,
[05:04.94]but I also have to study before my exams.
[05:08.30]Maybe you could talk things over with
[05:10.29]your parents.
[05:11.80]It's important to explain that you're
[05:13.92]very busy right now.
[05:16.24]Grammar Focus
[05:17.99]It's important to talk problems over
[05:20.00]with someone.
[05:21.81]It's important not to play computer games
[05:24.20]too much.
[05:25.94]In order to be healthy,
[05:27.80]teenagers need to get enough sleep.
[05:31.25]She is too young to make her own decisions.
[05:35.02]Tell them not to meet strangers.
[05:40.07]3a Read about two teenagers.
[05:43.97]List their good and bad habits in the chart
[05:45.96]below.
[05:49.04]Life can sometimes be difficult for teenagers.
[05:52.58]Most,however, get through their teenage years
[05:55.45]with the help of their families and friends.
[05:58.12]Du Fei and Wang Le are two typical teenagers.
[06:04.12]Du Fei is 15 years old.
[06:07.52]Like many teenagers,
[06:09.34]he has a few habits that are not so good for him
[06:12.66]For example, he listens to very loud music
[06:16.16]that is bad for his hearing.
[06:18.47]On the other hand,he doesn't eat many snacks
[06:21.75]he prefers his mother's home cooking.
[06:25.12]But in school he doesn't pay attention in class
[06:28.56]and his parents always tell him to try harder.
[06:33.31]His parents and teachers want him to
[06:36.02]change his attitude,and are happy to help him.
[06:40.15]They know it is never too late
[06:42.75]to change bad habits.
[06:46.22]Wang Le wants to do things
[06:48.71]that most teenagers do.
[06:51.12]For her,it's important to have friends,
[06:54.00]and to spend time with them.
[06:56.50]But perhaps she hangs out
[06:58.26]with them a little too much.
[07:01.02]Wang Le likes to eat junk food,
[07:03.65]and she would rather drink coffee
[07:05.77]and cola than water.
[07:08.59]Her parents have asked her to
[07:10.36]try to eat more healthily,
[07:12.32]but she doesn't like to.
[07:14.32]However, Wang Le's parents trust her
[07:17.77]because she tells them her problems.
[07:20.81]They know she always does her best at school,
[07:24.32]so they let her organize her own life.
[07:27.33]She is hardly ever stressed and she laughs a lot
[07:32.33]3b What suggestions do you have for Du Fei
[07:36.84]and Wang Le to have healthier lives?
[07:40.46]Give three suggestions for each.
[07:43.71]4 GROUPWORK
[07:46.16]Do you think these things are important?
[07:49.18]Discuss and complete the chart.
[07:51.65]Then add more things that are very important
[07:54.08]to all of you.
