SECTION 2. (word length 170 - 200)

TASK 1. Write an article for a social affairs magazine about the personal values of
young people. Explain which personal values you think young people consider
to be most important, reporting the views of some young people you know and
saying if you think these personal values will remain the same in adult life.

DO VALUES DEPEND ON THE PERSON

OR THE AGE?
Do you think that it is difficult to make a list of the personal values of young people? In my
opinion if you looked around, you would see that responsibility and diversity are probably the
most widespread values currently among teenagers.

On the other hand, there are many young people who are not interested in working hard. This is
said to be due to the economic situation. Despite being young, students must learn the mature
value of responsibility at an early age. Some of my students have told me that they prioritize
popularity more than hard work. Teachers ought to maintain a relationship with parents to
cooperate together to teach young people to be responsible.

In addition, at this moment, teenagers are less judgmental. Accepting people the way they are. A
lot could be learnt from teenagers in this way. I wish more people were like modern teenagers.

As for as I am concerned, values stay in a person forever, maybe you can add new principles but
if you had one it would never be erased. Each teenager has thoughts and ideals for improving
their lives. So, they could be added to but not annulled them.
