8 Life of Youth in Ukraine
All young people are different, but they have similar problems.
They want to go their own way, have their own style of clothes, even their own language – youth slang.
They want to be independent from their parents and teachers. But they don't know how to do that. Often parents are too busy earning money for bringing up and educating their children. They can't give their children attention and understanding. That's why teenagers easily come under the influence of other people. They find idols among famous singers, sportsmen, actors and politicians. They try to copy them blindly from hairstyles and clothes to bad habits as smoking and using drugs.
Young people are crazy about music and organize their own fan clubs.
Young people dream of highly-paid jobs and a better life. They are interested in studying foreign languages and have good computer-operating skills. Some of them are interested in politics.
It is quite common for a student in Ukraine to have a part-time job. This helps them to earn some extra money and to pay for their education.
Most young people are active users of social networks.
Many youth clubs and organisations are founded; they unite young people according to their interests. A lot of young people in Ukraine are active in the movement of the greens. The members of the Greenpeace organisation stand for protecting safe environment. They fight against the destruction of flora and fauna on the Earth.
1 What youth organisations in Ukraine do you know? 2 How do young people usually spend their free time? 3 How do you spend your free time? 4 What do you do if you need some extra money? 5 Why do you think social networks are so popular among young people? 6 Do you use any of the social networks? If so, what are they?
