Well, my wife is shopping at the moment so I decided to drop in. Anyway, the Carshalton also has a serious side. We do a lot of work for charity. For example, every day this week were collecting money to renovate the bar in the Royal Opera House. I see. Finally, can I join your club? Lord Parkes ... you seem terrified! But, but, you dont understand, the thing is youre A journalist? Even journalists join clubs, Lord Parkes. Were professionals too No, that isnt such a big problem. Its just that youre not one of us. Youre

It seems to me that its all a natural part of becoming an adult. The thing is, when young people are in their teens, they start to question the values and lifestyles of the adult world they see around them.

Kat Did you hear that discussion programme on Thames Radio last night? About why young people belong to different groups? Jay Yes, I did. 1_________, I thought it was pretty awful. 2_________, the presenter couldnt even control the guests! Kat 3_________, I found those two academics , really irritating. 4_________ making generalisations about young people is so unhelpful. Jay Im glad that young guy mentioned music though. 5_________, thats the most , important thing. 8 Work in pairs. Give your opinions on the topics below and justify them. Use Speak Out to help you. 1 Are friends more important than family for most young people? 2 Is it a waste of time and money to be fashionable? 3 Do peoples tastes in music have the most influence on how they look and behave? 4 Is it useful to make generalisations about young people?

As far as Im concerned becoming a Goth or a skater has absolutely nothing to do with looking for role models. Look at young people sixty years ago they looked and behaved like younger versions of their parents

Listen and match speakers 1-3 with opinions a-c.

1 Jane Webb c 2 Mark Mondale c 3 Matt Hodges c a Money and business is behind fashion and lifestyles. b Gangs are a way to share music, have fun and find acceptance. c Young people look for values and acceptance from people the same age.

Off the streets

Dan: I almost didnt come this morning but my friends persuaded me. There was a lot of aggression to begin with but everyone calmed down in the end. I bumped into an old friend from primary school who I hadnt spoken to for years but he seems just the same as ever - in fact I got on with him really well. The atmosphere in town is probably a lot better now. Its a typical Saturday afternoon on Cathedral Square in Peterborough, in the east of England. Two noisy gangs of young people are sitting in the centre of the square. One group are wearing tracksuits and baseball caps and brand-new white trainers. A lot of them are wearing jewellery like gold chains and earrings. Theyre the Chavs. Opposite them are the Goths. Theyre wearing black Doctor Marten boots, long black coats and black T-shirts with the names of their favourite bands on them. Some of them are wearing lipstick and eye-liner and a few of them have piercings. Nervous shoppers hurry past them, trying not to make eye contact. It seems to be quiet but you feel that at any moment a fight could start. The police say these young people are probably harmless perhaps they just hang around the square because theres nothing better to do. But older people say they are tired of putting up with the noise and litter. These kinds of problems certainly arent unique to Peterborough. But after trying several different methods, Peterborough City Council has a radical plan to change things. The councils controversial plan to bring peace to the city starts on a Tuesday morning during the half-term holiday. A group of fourteen Chavs and Goths of both sexes are travelling by bus to a secret location in the countryside, ten miles out of town. There are more Chavs than Goths maybe its hard for some Goths to get up in the mornings! When they finally arrive, supervisors ask them to put on camouflage clothing. And then the two gangs spend the rest of the morning pretending to shoot at each other. Dont worry the guns are not real (they fire plastic balls filled with paint) and its all for fun. But isnt it dangerous to fight aggression with aggression? Is a game of paintball really the best way to bring young people together? Steve Mayes, the organiser of the event, feels that it is. He thinks these controversial games give the two groups something to do and can start them talking. It gets rid of a lot of energy too its much better than playing games on playstations and Xboxes, he says. Meanwhile, the Chavs and Goths are fooling around: theres a lot of shouting and laughter and everyone appears to be having fun. At the end of the day Steve Mayes believes the event was a success - the two groups are already talking to each other. Its like football, says Denise, another organiser. You choose which team you belong to. But at the end of the day, Chavs and Goths are the same sort of people.

Grammar and Speaking, Exercise 6 Every year, during the football season, I usually spend Saturday afternoons at Dundee United games. There are also about twenty away games a year but luckily my friends and I all belong to the official supporters club so we travel to the matches on the clubs coach. It saves us a lot of money train tickets are getting so expensive nowadays! United are almost bottom of the league at the moment. These days we are playing quite well at home but our away games arent going so well. But the atmospheres always great and violence is a thing of the past. In fact, more and more families with young children are coming to the games now. I always feel Im part of a great big happy family! Listening and Speaking, Exercise 2 Presenter Hippies punks skaters and now Chavs - theres no end to the number of teenage cults and fashions. But just what is it that makes young people choose to join a subculture? With me in the studio to discuss this is Dr Mark Mondale, professor of Sociology at Goodman Browne University in West Virginia, Dr Jane Webb, professor of Psychology at Uxbridge University, and Matt Hodges, head of the Students Union at Waterloo College in Liverpool. Mondale Hallo! Webb Hello! Matt Hi!

Presenter Lets start with you, Dr Webb. What does make a young person decide to become a Goth or a skater? Webb Well, Nigel, there are all sorts of different reasons, but it seems to me that its all part of becoming an adult. The thing is, when young people are in their teens, they start to question the values and lifestyles of the adult world they see around them. So parents, other adults or older brothers and sisters often stop being role models for teenagers for a time. Instead, young people look for new role models from their peers people of the same age. And of course theyre also looking for friendship or acceptance. Presenter Uh-huh, so youre saying that its a reaction against the adult world? Webb Thats right although in reality its much more complicated than Mondale Well I have to say I Presenter Yes? Dr Mondale? Mondale I have to say I cannot agree with that at all. As far as Im concerned, becoming a Goth or a skater has absolutely nothing to do with looking for role models. Look at young people sixty years ago, they looked and behaved like younger versions of their parents. Frankly, its all about money. If you think about it, every new youth fashion makes millions of dollars for the fashion and music industries. Webb So how do you explain groups who are completely anti-commercial like Goths, people who buy second-hand clothes and ... Mondale Well frankly that explains my theory exactly. By choosing not to buy ... Presenter Im sorry to interrupt but perhaps at this point we should ask Matt Hodges for his views. Matt? Matt Personally, I believe its all about music. Im into nu-metal, my favourite band is BioToxine. Its only natural that you want to spend your time with other people who enjoy and understand this music. And then these people become your friends - you have fun with them, they help you if you have problems and Webb Which is exactly my theory about looking for answers from people the same age Mondale Well actually, it shows that the music industry has the most say in what.. Webb You sociologists are all the same. You think people cant make up their own minds and Mondale Well the day that a Psychologist gives me a good explanation of how people behave is the day that I personally Webb Well Ive got three teenage sons so I do know what Im talking about here! Mondale Well, dont forget I was a teenager too! Presenter Well well have to leave it there. In next weeks programme were talking about what can be done to end the conflict between different youth groups. I hope you can join me

Listening and Speaking, Exercise 7 Kat Jay Kat Did you hear that discussion on programme on Thames Radio last night? About why young people belong to different groups? Yes, I did. To be honest, I thought it was pretty awful. I mean, the presenter couldnt even control the guests! Personally, I found those two academics really irritating. The thing is making generalisations about young people is so unhelpful. Im glad that young guy mentioned music though. As far as Im concerned, thats the most important thing.
