I hope this letter can help people to understand the seriousness of this problem and to underline the necessity of stopping the cultural barbarism. It would be a pity if all these art treasures will disappear.

**Exercise 7, write a letter: **

Dear Madam,

I have read with interest your article on family values, which appeared in Tuesday’s edition. I completely agree with you: family values have changed in the last few years. When I was a teenager, I used to spend my time helping my mother in the housework and doing my homework. My parents taught me family comes in first place. Nevertheless teenagers are different nowadays. They don’t care about family and they don’t even realize the importance of holding together. The just wanna have fun and go out with their friends.

I think the parents are the ones to blame. In fact most of them work all day, so they don’t have time to look after their children. Moreover, they don’t educate them in the right way: they give them too much freedom. It follows that children are not able to face up to one’s responsibilities and pretend more and more! They have no respect for other people and don’t understand the life’s values. Besides, medias are responsible too, because they distract children from the real life and consequently to real problems. Especially the TV can set a bad example to teenagers: there are some shows that make believe that important values are popularity, money and success instead of family, friendship and solidarity.

In conclusion, teenagers’ behaviour is the result of the education given by their parents. All we need to do is to be more present in our children’s life and teach them the good breeding.

Yours faithfully, Alessia Costaganna
