Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Peer pressure
Mary is walking to her maths lesson. She has got a test, but she feels all right. Suddenly, Dan, the
coolest boy in the class, speaks to her, “Come on!” he says. “Forget maths. Let’s go into town!” Now
Mary feels bad. She has to make a difficult decision. Should she go to maths because that is the right
thing to do, or should she take the chance to be friends with the most popular person in the class?
If you have had an experience like this, don’t worry. It is called peer pressure and it happens to
everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t
want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be
because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they are just curious about trying
something new. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to do.
It is hard being the only one who says no and the question is – how do you do it? Firstly, you must
decide what you believe in. If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know

your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple. Don’t do it. It is your decision, not
anybody else’s. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm.
You need to say, “No, thanks. I don’t want to do that.”
Of course, being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at
least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. Choose your friends carefully. You want friends to
support you when you are in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority.
Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
However, peer pressure is not completely negative. You can learn a lot from people of your own age.
They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don’t forget
you can tell them things too and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And
remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed. It is about sharing experiences and having fun.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Generation Gap: Causes and Solutions
Parents have a common complaint that their children after a certain age tend to disrespect them. They
look for more freedom and enjoy the company of their friends rather than staying at home. These all are
the changes when the kids grow from teenagers to adulthood. This is the time when they want to be
treated as big but the parents still consider them small. They want to take their own decisions but they
can’t because parents are there to take any important decisions about their children. So these issues
sometimes create a problem and this is when the generation gap comes in.
There are lots of activities which interest the kids more but parents are not willing with it. Instead of
arguing with children and avoiding the discussion, it will be good that parents take a step forward and
talk to their children.
Parents are the best friend of their children as they act as both good parents and friends. As parents
have spent a large amount of their time with their kids, so it is necessary that parents understand what
their children are saying and how it can affect their life. Any suggestions coming from parents can never
be wrong, so teenagers should trust in them as they always want their children to progress in life.
Communication is the best way to bridge the gap and find a perfect solution. Parents should sit with
their children and talk about their needs so that parents know their children’s expectations. Parents can
also listen to their problems and look for a solution which is best for them. Parents mustn’t force them to
do anything without interest but make them aware of their duties so that they do it willingly. As you are
dealing with teenagers, you need to keep yourself in their situation and then think about it.
If parents feel that their children are disrespecting, they then tell that if their children want respect,
they need to give it to other people too. This is a lifetime lesson which they need to learn as it is not

limited to their home but also when they go out and work in any organization.
Children must understand their limitations. If they go beyond that, it will be difficult for them. It is
the duty of the parents that they make their kids understand their limitation and define a boundary for
Page 5/6


them. This is done for the benefit of the children so that they know what is right and what is wrong for
them.
Question 46: One of the main reasons of the generation gap is that _______.
A. children can make their own decisions
B. children were not able to make their own decisions
C. the problems of the generation gap to be small
D. children are being treated as a child
Question 47: Teenagers should trust their parents because _______.
A. parents are their best friends and they always want their children to make progress
B. children understand what they are saying and what can affect their life
C. parents always treat their children as they are still young, and listen to them
D. parents have spent a large amount of their time at work and at home with their kids
Question 48: In order to bridge the generation gap, one can do all of the following EXCEPT _______.
A. parents should have chats with their children to know their children’s expectations
B. parents should listen to their children’s problems and look for a solution
C. parents don’t have to force their children to do anything without interest
D. parents should make their children aware of their duties so that they do it willingly
Question 49: In order to solve the problem of disrespect from children, parents should show that
_______.
A. children should go out more often and work in any organization
B. if children want respect, they need to show it to their parents too
C. parents are not willing with their children’s inappropriate activities
D. parents are there to take any important decisions about their children

A. parents make their children know their limitations and their own boundary
B. parents must understand their limitations and define a boundary for them
C. children should know what is right and what is wrong for both parents and children
