One teacher is very open and friendly and encourages his pupils to be familiar with him.

YOUNG PEOPLE
The majority of young people in Britain today accept most of the _____ (1), customs and behaviour of their parents most of the time. But they have become much more independent since the Pop Revolution of the 1960s. At that time they ______ (2) their own separate culture: they listened to different music, wore different clothes, had different ideas about life, used different words and ______ (3) differently. But youth culture is always changing. The young people of the 1960s who rebelled against the traditional ideas of their parents are now considered out-of-date by today's youth. So are the hippies,who disapproved so strongly of materialism and who believed in "free love", "flower power" and "doing your own thing."
In the mid-1970s _____ (4) rose above one million and this produced one of the most _______ (5) and "different" youth groups: the punks. The punks who first appeared on the streets of London were young working-class people who were fed up with trying to find jobs but did not want to join the mainly _____ (6) hippies. They dyed their hair with bright colours: purple, orange, green. Some wore rings and metal objects attached to their ears, noses and cheeks. They made their own kind of music, punk rock, and they sniffed glue when they could not _____ (7) other drugs. They claimed that their ambition was to die before the age of thirty. Some did.
Only a _______ (8) of people became real punks and there are few left in Britain now, but high unemployment continues to have a strong influence on the _____ (9) and behaviour of young people. They fear unemployment. Today's teenagers feel that the good things in life will come to them if they can get a job. So they are not interested in being rebels any more; they want to become adults as quickly as possible. Young people are still concerned about world peace, as the young people of the 1960s were, but now students are more interested in examination results than in student politics. Smart clothes, money and _______ (10) became fashionable again in the 1980s. There are many young people who cannot find a job of any sort, and many school leavers look at their future without hope. But the fortunate ones who find jobs enjoy the materialistic lifestyle of the 1980s. Who can say how attitudes and behaviour will have changed by the end of the 1990s?

YOUNG PEOPLE
The majority of young people in Britain today accept most of the _____ (1), customs and behaviour of their parents most of the time. But they have become much more independent since the Pop Revolution of the 1960s. At that time they ______ (2) their own separate culture: they listened to different music, wore different clothes, had different ideas about life, used different words and ______ (3) differently. But youth culture is always changing. The young people of the 1960s who rebelled against the traditional ideas of their parents are now considered out-of-date by today's youth. So are the hippies,who disapproved so strongly of materialism and who believed in "free love", "flower power" and "doing your own thing."
In the mid-1970s _____ (4) rose above one million and this produced one of the most _______ (5) and "different" youth groups: the punks. The punks who first appeared on the streets of London were young working-class people who were fed up with trying to find jobs but did not want to join the mainly _____ (6) hippies. They dyed their hair with bright colours: purple, orange, green. Some wore rings and metal objects attached to their ears, noses and cheeks. They made their own kind of music, punk rock, and they sniffed glue when they could not _____ (7) other drugs. They claimed that their ambition was to die before the age of thirty. Some did.
Only a _______ (8) of people became real punks and there are few left in Britain now, but high unemployment continues to have a strong influence on the _____ (9) and behaviour of young people. They fear unemployment. Today's teenagers feel that the good things in life will come to them if they can get a job. So they are not interested in being rebels any more; they want to become adults as quickly as possible. Young people are still concerned about world peace, as the young people of the 1960s were, but now students are more interested in examination results than in student politics. Smart clothes, money and _______ (10) became fashionable again in the 1980s. There are many young people who cannot find a job of any sort, and many school leavers look at their future without hope. But the fortunate ones who find jobs enjoy the materialistic lifestyle of the 1980s. Who can say how attitudes and behaviour will have changed by the end of the 1990s?
