Match the structural units (1-5) of an essay with the appropriate paragraphs (A-E) to put the essay in correct order. D 1 Introduction D2 Body first suggestion + results D3 Second suggestion + results D4 Third suggestion + results D5 Conclusion AThirdly, society in general is sending young people mixed messages. As long as you are an exemplary student during the week, you can be 'cool' at weekends. To be 'cool' means you have to follow the latest trends in fashion, drive an expensive car, smoke cigarettes, use offensive language and get drunk. Parents and teachers alike must take time and talk to youngsters about their dilemmas, problems and explain the dangers of consuming alcohol. Presenting our personal experience and offering alternative role models and a different system of values will certainly help to overcome the problem. BOne way to solve the problem could be by simply implementing the law concerning the sale of alcohol to minors. Our government has passed a

law stating very clearly that people under the age of eighteen cannot buy or consume alcoholic drinks. The problem lies in the fact that nobody 0 adheres to it. Stricter controls and higher fines for those who break the

law would certainly provide a solution. Furthermore, this would also prevent the selling of drinks to minors in discos. C Several studies have shown that the number of teenagers consuming alcohol is increasing. The problem is evident especially during the weekends when hundreds and hundreds of teenagers go out to discos. Another alarming fact is that an increasing number of younger teenagers, thirteen and fourteen-year-olds, consume various alcoholic drinks on a regular basis. What measures could be taken to eradicate2 the problem? DAll things considered, it is possible by making joint efforts to deal with the problem effectively. Authorities should ensure that the law banning the sale of alcohol to minors is enforced, even if it means imposing extremely high fines for offenders. Parents should also return to parenting. EAnother way of dealing with the problem is again by implementing the existing law. Young people are not supposed to be out after eleven o'clock without supervision. If steps were taken to adapt the working hours of the disco clubs to the needs of teenagers, the results would be visible very soon. Teenagers would have fun and be home by eleven. I am convinced that most teenagers would easily find other forms of entertainment within their homes.
