LIVING STATUE
Nowadays you see living statues all over the world.
They wear elaborate costumes and body paint, and
stand without moving for hours. But what's it like? Is it
difficult? I spoke to Nina, a living statue in London.
You need to be physically and mentally fit. It's
actually quite hard standing still
, and you have to eat
before you start or you feel ill.
We wear body paint so we look like real metal or
stone statues. Metallic paint takes over an hour to put
on and it's difficult to get off, too. Every week I have
a saune to clean my skin. I love designing different
costures and being creative. We even paint our
clothes to make them look heavy. In the winter you
need to wear thermal underwear under your costume
so you don't shiver with cold.
I've worked at glamorous birthday parties for famous
people, and in parks in the rain, and I've just been to
the World Championships in Holland. There were 300
statues and 300,000 visitors. It was incredible! Most​

The Problems of Teen-Ages 

People of almost every age are susceptible to this pernitious disease but it hits the youth the hardest. It's name is unemployment. The persent-age of unemployed youth in the total number of the jobless is high. In many developing countries the situation is more serious. Many young people to commit suside. Unless the economic situation in the world changes, youth unemployment will mount. This prodictions refer to all catigories of workers-with high and low skills in town and country. For all there possible distinctious,these young people over outside the production structure of society. The are deprived the possebility of creting there are "surplus" from time to time some may get a hit of luck, but the lot of the majority is to feel their unlessles to lose their ideals and become disillusioned. Unemployment greatly intemcilicselle tendency among the youth towards, drug education, frastretion and crime. This is a time bomb and is a heavy acusation of any social economic system. 

There are many young people in our country. Each of them has one's own view point on their life and their future. There are many problems which are common for all young people.For Example: how to spend their free time, what to do after school, choosing a profession, how to deal with girl and boy-friends and so on. 

The problem number one of most of the young people is the problem of fathers and sons. All young people want to be independent, they want their parents to listen to their opinion, not to interfere in their private life. Some parents neglect their children, because they cant find a common language with each other. 

Many problems were hushed up, but now we can speak openly about them. I think that the most difficult and sirious problem of modern teen-ages is drug-habit. Some young man use drugs, because they think that will be cool guys. But they don't understand, that it's wrong. Some of them can't stop that, and they become dependent on drugs. And they commit different serious, because they need some money to buy drugs. There are also many other problems: alchoholism, smokin and so on. There are many youth organisations in our country, wich unite young men on different principles. Members of every organisation has ons own world out looks. Each of them has their own morral qualities. There are some informal organisations, for example: skinheads, hippies, panks and so on. Now there exists the problem of missundrstanding beetwen different youth groups. 

We also face the problem how to spend our free time. We can do it in different ways. Some of teen-ages spend their free time in different night clubs. Other young people spend their free time in the strets. 

As for me, i spend my free time at home or in the night clubs. I also have some problems with my parents. But every time then i have them i try to slove them without quorrel. 

Now we are young people and we are the future of our country. Teen-aegs play an important role in the modern society. Grown up's must remember that we are the future of our country and in present moment our character is formed and that's why our parents must not assert pressure on us.
