Many people think that theater is part of high culture for old and serious people who wear formal suits, but that's not true. Many of the theatrical performances are fast-action comedies with an interesting storyline ,it's a great opportunity for teenagers and young adults to spend time with friends.
Firstly, tickets in our time are cheaper than many years ago and many theaters show their performances online on platforms such as youtube, sometimes it's completely free, just turn on your computer or TV to the internet and watch, without formal suit and long road to the theater ,you have everything at home.This makes theater a generally accessible form of entertainment.
Secondly, many performances are created for younger people, comedies or musicals with pop music such as "Phantom of the opera" and "Jesus Chris Superstar" they have a big fandom among teenagers and are very popular, the musicality and interesting plot make it they are a very attractive attraction for young people.
In my opinion, theater can attract a lot of young people, I am still a teenager myself and I love theaters and operas and I also know a lot of people in my age and younger with similar interests.

Theater can be attractive to young people today. In my opinion, young people are constantly looking for something new. They want to discover and participate in cultural life. It can be seen that young people are now interested in art. Contemporary theater develops and adapts its plays to a given age flu. Theater is not only for serious people. Theater introduces cultural life. It allows us to interpret different scenes. Aren't the live performances of the act more attractive? They definitely are. they have their own unique style and message. Theater is a stepping stone from all these electronic devices. There, we cut ourselves off from all electronics and focus on what the actors want to convey to us. The theater is attractive in terms of the place itself and the atmosphere that prevails there. You can go to the theater with your girlfriend on a date. This atmosphere is perfect for an evening with your beloved. You can be inspired by the other person. You can also go with friends and then discuss the presented play. About how you feel. Theater doesn't have to be boring. You have to change your attitude towards him. With a good attitude and concentration, you can find out that the theater becomes attractive. You can go to the theater at any time. There are many plays on display. You can choose something for yourself. In the theater you will feel different than in the cinema. Cinema has become so common. Every trip at school takes place to the cinema, because it is known that everyone will like it, you need to change your thinking and encourage theater. If every trip took place to the theater, it would be as crowded by young people as the cinema. We are used to the comfort zone, so you have to get out of it and go to the theater and open your mind.

Have you ever wondered about negative side effect caused by smartphones? Every day witness a tragic car accidents, resulting from the use of telephones by road users. How can we avoid this?
Brant Johnson was that person, who tried to answer that question last Saturday. He is the leading police commissioner from Scottsdale in Arizona and he carried on a campaign called “Smart Stop” which took place in our city.
The main point of the event was a specialist's speech. Brant was trying share with us examples of people's carelessness that happened in his city during so many years of work. He told us about the worst accidents, that he got into memory. After harangue, commissioner Johnson showed us a presentation about suggestion of responsible behaviors. We could find here options such as putting the phone in our pocket when we want to cross the pedestrian crossing or not using the phone while driving the car, even if we necessary need do take an important call. After this slideshow, we had a possibility to take part in a competition relevant road safety. The winner, a 17 years old boy, won a new bike and helmet!
In my opinion, we should organize more events like this to constantly remind people about danger that may happen through their distraction, because in next few days after our campaign, people were more aware and really cared about their safety, but it didn’t take long. A month after a Brant’s visit, we could see next unfortunate car accident, caused by using mobile phone.

In my city, there was a very important campaign „Smart Stop” two weeks ago. In my opinion, using smartphones when we crossing the road, when we driving by car should be banned. That’s why I agree with „Smart Stop” campaign idea. This campaign teaches how dangerous is using telephones during these situations. The campaign was conducted by police officers who noticed that last year most accidents were caused by the use of mobile phones. People using the phone on the road can’t concentrate, when they see someone get into the road it’s usually too late to brake. In my opinion, many lives could be saved. Many people died because we using phones, we quickly wanted to read a message from a family member. „Smart Stop” was stirring, police officers told very interesting road stories. I think they were superheroes, they teach us very important things, problems.

Nowadays the world giving us many options to spend our free time. It seems to me that technology progress makes that we are increasingly using smartphones, laptops or TVs. As a result teenagers are forgetting to visiting a theater.
First of all many teenagers believe that theater is only for older people. They also prefer watching films in the cinema or at home. The Internet giving us more choice than theater, because we can watch everything that is available. Teenagers like to have a choice. Theater plays are not that various like movies. Access to the Internet makes that many people resign to going to the theater. They prefer inviting friends and eating snacks during séance. This meeting is more interesting than taking part in a theater play. In home we can eat and talk but it is not allowed in theater. Many people do not have a time to go to theater because the hours of performances are often unfavorable.
However some of us prefer going to the theater than siting in home. In theater we can meet interesting actors. That kind of art lets us to fell an atmosphere during the spectacle. Going to the theater is especially important for people who want to be close to the art or want to become an actors.
Summing up I think that we will go to the theater more often if the timetable of spectacle is more accessible. In my opinion theater should become more friendly to teenagers.

Nowadays theatre is more attractive for teenagers than elier. Many young people choose art because they would like to have better connetection with everything around them.
First of all many community centers try to add many things in their program to encourage teenagers. Usually they play something which is connected with their social life. Young adults like when they watch things which take part in theis own life. Usually they present difficult situations which can happen for all of them. In my opinio nit is good because if they watch that kind of perspective they will have master many of skills. After that kind of performance they will stress less when they have to do some difficult choices.
Secondly if you want to go for some of theatre play you have planty of options. Nowadays many people think taht teenagers should attend for much more performances so they simplify that kind of problem. Wherever you go you will see many posters about some kind of play which take place in nearest theatre and this is story for teenagers.
To sum up many of community senters help teenagers to have better contact with art and most of all with theatre where everyone can find something for themself. This is place for everyone.

In my opinion, theater may be attractive for young people today, however, due to the large selection of media, it isn't easy. In the following statement, I will present arguments for and against the above issue.
The most important advantage is undoubtedly the varied repertoire. Many performances concern topics related to youth, for example growing up, friendships or family. This is undoubtedly a big plus that makes theater an attractive form for young people. Another argument for is fact, that theater is a healthy escape from the real world. All of that schoolwork or hallway drama can stress teens out. There is nothing better than letting yourself go to perform a show or to watch one.
The most important argument against is the availability of this form of culture. Theaters are mainly located in large cities and therefore a limited number of people have access to them. Also many people choose other forms of culture that are more accessible to them. Another argument against is the fact, that tickets for theater performances are quite expensive. The result is that many young people are abandoning this form of culture. Young people definitely prefer cheaper cinema for example.
Summing up, I believe that with the above arguments I supported the thesis put forward by myself. Theater is an attractive form for young people, but in many aspects it has its drawbacks.

It would seem that in times universal access to cinema, television and social media, theater does not attract teenagers’ attention. However, I am of the opinion that theater can be very attractive for young people nowadays. There is a plethora of arguments who can confirm it.
To begin with, the theater now offers a much more extensive and diverse repertoire than it used to be. There are more plays related to youth that deal with the themes of adolescence or friendship, which attract more young viewers.
Moreover, theater allows for communing with culture “live”, which more and more teenagers are looking for. Develops creativity and abstract thinking. It gives a chance for a temporary “escape” from reality.
Last but not least, recently more and more theaters have started staging their plays online. This allowed for a significant increase access to this form of culture. This change also resulted in a reduction in ticket prices, which further increased the interest in theater among young people.
On the other hand, still some people have trouble accessing this form of culture. Theaters are usually located in large cities, which makes them difficult for people living in villages or small towns to access. However, the solution to this problem may be the above-mentioned online performances, which give access to theater to virtually everyone.
To sum up, it is a complicated issue. It is always worth considering different points of view; hovewer, I am deeply convinced that theater is a very attractive place for young people, which gives opportunities for the development of creativity and unconventional thinking.

“ Smart Stop Campaign”
Do you know that every year has been a lot of traffic accident, because people use a mobile phone, when they driving the car? Last weekend in Sieradz took place the campaign about this topic. In my opinion this is very important that speak to people about effects using telephones while driving.
As part of the event we could see increased frequency a police patrol on roads for last weekend.
In Saturday in House of Culture in Sieradz we could take part in meeting with police commander -Witold Kowalczyk. Mr Kowalczyk said that every fourth accident is caused by using a telephone while driving. Subsequently we could watch the movie about girl who was hit by a car. Movie showed the difficulties of everyday life this girl after the accident.
Besides in Sunday in Sieradz Market we could experience accident firsthand. City president ordered two machines: car crash simulator and car rollover simulator. You had to be of legal age to enter the machine. Participation in the simulation was free. There were very many willing people.
I strongly feel that this campaign increased people’s awareness of the dangers of using the phone while driving. I hope similar events will take place more often.

Last year, a lot of accidents on the road were caused by the dispersion of mobile phones. "Smart Stop" is a campaign to help grab attention for this problem. Presentations, games and meetings with celebrities such as Rober Kubica are supposed to help show how dangerous it is. "Following the rules of the road is not enough." - said Kubica, "We are here to help understand the problem." - he concluded.
Robert survived a rally accident in 2011. He shared his experiences from the perspective of life after the accident with other disabled people. He explained how an unexpected moment can change a whole life, so he warned everyone to be careful.
The most important moment of the "Smart Stop" event was the speech of the action chairman. He was thank for such a large gathering and appealed to people to stay safe on the road. There was also playtime with the children. Children had the chance to win many prizes in prepared competitions and games. The whole day ended with a charity football match in Castle Square.
