1 CommentHow religious are you?
A Survey in Britain in 2005 found that 36% of people in the 18-30 age group described themselves as atheists. 35% never prayed or went to church. 73% do not pray regularly.
28% do not believe in life after death and 29% don’t know. 21% consider Christmas mainly as a religious festival, while 38% consider it mainly as a holiday and 28% as an opportunity to meet friends and family.
In 1954 90% owned a Bible; in 2004 65% did.
How religious are you. Do you think that you are less religious than your parents or grandparents? Does your family have a bible? Do you think the churches will soon have no visitors on Sunday?

Mobile Phone Ban in Schools
Schools in Bavaria, in Germany, could ban the use of mobile phones. They are worried that some pupils use them to show violent or pornographic videos, or the pupils organise fights by SMS.
What are the rules in your school concerning the use of mobile phones ?
Do you agree with a total ban? Why?
Why not?

Here he is posing with our former headmaster, Mr Dingle
To smoke or not to smoke ?
Like it or not, many young people smoke. Maybe you smoke …. or maybe you hate smoking.
How much is a packet of 20 cigarettes in your country ? ( 1 pound = 5.5 Zloty; 1 Zloty = 18 pence) Too cheap, too expensive ? Should people smoke in public places ? What are your views on smoking ?
