3. a. What difficulties will the Amish face if they get into a modern urban area? Make a list of five things which they might find unusual / shocking / surprising?

b. Read the second part of the text and check.

At the ages of 16–18 Amish teenagers are allowed to explore modern society. They have a chance to go to the outside world for the first time. This time is called Rumspringa and during this period Amish young people decide if they want to stay in their local communities or change their lifestyle. Most Amish teenagers stay close to their homes, but some of them travel to more distant urban areas, such as New York or Los Angeles.

There are even several reality TV show programmes on American TV which describe their reaction to a lifestyle they've never experienced. As a rule, Amish teenagers are surprised by the height of multi-storey buildings and a wide choice of food which is sold in supermarkets. The children are shocked by the constant noise of heavy traffic and overcrowded streets. They also don't understand why there are so many homeless and poor people in American cities because in Amish communities people must look after each other and help those in need. Some things are absolutely new for them, such as art galleries or pop music concerts. They do not exist in the Amish communities because they don't think they are important.

It looks as if the Amish are really different from modern city residents, but, in fact, a lot of things are not presented realistically in these programmes, which creates myths about the Amish. For example, it's not true that they are completely against any kind of technology. They just think more carefully about possible effects technology can have on their lifestyle before using it. For the Amish, their family relationships and community values are more important than modern conveniences.
