READING
1. Before Reading try to answer the question of the text. Why do you think teenagers drink?

Why is drinking alcohol so popular

at the high school level?
As a high school student, I think I have a thorough understanding of what is going on.
Most people would agree that alcohol can be dangerous and quite damaging, directly or indirectly.
The only people who believe otherwise are either denying a known fact or are extremely ignorant.
Most people would agree that being drunk isn't very pleasurable since they lose control over many
of their actions, and afterwards, as a direct result, feel darn sick. Personally, I feel as though
vomiting isn't much fun, but maybe it's me.
Okay, let's be entirely honest. What enjoyment is gained from drinking? I think I have an answer,
and I'll admit now I may be entirely off-base, but I have confidence in my theory: Drinking gives a
sense of infantile satisfaction.
When I was a junior, my English teacher (to make a point) put an envelope on his desk that was
labelled "dirty pictures" and he said nobody was to touch it. A child feels a strong curiosity when
told she or he cannot drink alcohol. Every child loves to disobey t he "rules". So she or he is
compelled to try it. The reason why drinking is so popular among high school students is because it
is considered fun and acceptable to break rules.
I have only one piece of advice for these drinkers: take responsibility for you rself and ask yourself
why you are drinking. Teenagers couldn't give an intelligent answer to justify their actions. And "It's
fun!" is not an intelligent answer. To put it nutshell: grow up, you are impressing no one but other
immature people.

Game:
Aim: To write sentences containing a certain word and to identify grammar mistakes

This ESL game is great for reviewing all aspects of grammar. It also helps you to spot problem areas or common
mistakes that your students are making.
Procedure

Separate the class into four teams.

In each team, there is a 'runner' and a 'writer'.

Give each team a number and allocate a space on the board for them to write.

Have the writers stand next to their space by the board.

Give each team a different keyword, e.g. elephant, car, carrot, etc.

Team members must then think up sentences using the keyword.

When a team thinks of a sentence, they tell the runner. The runner then goes to the board and tell s the sentence
to the writer who writes it on the board.

After a few minutes, stop the round and evaluate the sentences from each team.

Award one to three points for each sentence. Give reasons for the awarded points, e.g. subject-verb agreement,
spelling, punctuation, etc.

If you spot a mistake, ask the teams to identify and correct it. The first student to raise their hand and correct the
mistake wins the points for his or her team.

Play a few rounds. The team with the highest number of points at the end of the game wins.
