Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem
to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work at school. This is a
normal development becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still
growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are
asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan
but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger
signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or
smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with
these and get help if necessary.
