Listening/Speaking
1. PW. Listen and discuss answering the questions.
Young people all over the world were given the questionnaire.
1. How should people behave in public places?
2. What kind of behaviour can tick you off?
3. What is acceptable/ not acceptable for people in public?
Model 1:
Here is something that gets on my nerves. I hate it when people use their cell phones in public places. They annoy other people, not only on trains and buses but also in theatres. They should have the courtesy either to turn their phones off or leave them at home. It really makes me angry. I guess it’s kind of my pet peeve*.

Model 2:
I’ve never understood bullying*. Why do some people make the life of another person so miserable? Why do some people think they have the right to punch and kick someone they think is weaker than them? I was bullied when I was a child. I didn’t feel safe during the breaks. But thanks to my school teachers they stopped bullying and were punished. My parents also helped me to stand for myself and be more confident.
