Could anyone please help me out? I'm really not sure which word I should use. I'm looking for an English word for young people who behave in an offensive and annoying way in public. Some of them commit an offense or resort to violence without going to schools. Their outfits look gaudy and similar, and often hang out somewhere (in a group). In the nights, some of them ride unlawful motorcycles in their areas while a driving offense. I found some words in some English dictionaries, but I'm wondering if there is a different right word. Thank you. 1) a delinquent youth 2) a hooligan 3) a chav 4) a young punk 5) a yob 6) a member of street/motorcycle gangs

Could anyone please help me out? I'd like to ask English speakers about an English word. The word, "input (something)/(XXを)インプットする" is used as a Japanese word. However, it's also used when you memorize something new knowledge or words. e.g. "Recently, I've been exclusively input new English vocabulary." I'm wondering whether it's also used as the same meaning in English. Does it sound weird to English speakers? Is it more natural to use "memorize/study/focus on memorizing (new English vocabulary)" instead of "input"?

Writing Practice (Could anyone please check my sentences?) The other day, I heard the news that a high school teacher punched his student wearing earrings. It seems the teacher had repeatedly advised the student not to do them in school because this school, to which they belong, bans all the students at this school from doing them. The student was outrage at the teacher's advice, and then he kept saying many vulgar, rude and disrespectful words to the teacher on purpose until the teacher completely snapped. Eventually, the teacher lost control himself due to the student's rudeness. At the same time, a different student who is a friend of the student's was shooting that situation in order to make the movie go viral. Right after that, the student, who had been punched, posted his messages with the footage on Twitter. I think that none of them involving this matter did good behavior, but personally, I feel sorry for the teacher.

Writing Practice (Could anyone please check my entry?) In my country, we use both the Western calendar and the Japanese one. We have used the former for about 150 years after the Edo period (the samurai period) ended. On the other hand, we have also used the later as our unique calendar for about 1300 years. In the modern system of my country, new eras begin each time a new Japanese emperor ascends the Throne. The current era is the Heisei period continuing for 31 years. A next new era will, however, begin because the present emperor in my country will be stepping down. For about one year, our government has been considering a proper and acceptable name of the new period. It will have been announced by this May. I'm wondering what will be decided as the new name.
