C. READING
I)-Kead the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Family rules help children understand which behaviors are acceptable and not acceptable.
As children grow, they will be in places where they have to follow rules. Following rules at

home can help children learn to follow rules in other places.
It is normal for children to break rules and test limits. Breaking a rule is a child’s way of
learning about his world. Remember, young kids sometimes break rules because they simply
forget. N ot all broken rules occur because kids are testing the limits.
For family rules to work well, everyone needs to know, understand, and follow the rules.
By doing this, children don’t get confused about the family rules. For example, you may feel
that jumping on the bed is a dangerous behavior. You set a family rule that, “The bed will be
used only for sitting, lying, or sleeping.” If another adult jumps on the bed, your child may be
confused. Your child may think this behavior is sometimes okay. This is true for parents,
grandparents, or any other adult in your child’s life.
The number of rules you set depends on your child’s ability to understand and remember.
It is also hard for parents to consistently enforce lots o f new rules. For young children, focus
8 - Liiu H oàng Tri


on only two or three of the most important rules at any one time. As your child leams a rule
and is following it consistently, you can add new rules.

Ill-R ead the passage about parent teenager problems, and then answer the questions.

Parent Teenager Problems
Parent teenager problems are a common thing in most households. Reasons for problems
between teenagers and parents vary greatly, and each situation is different another, but there

are common reasons for parent teenager problems.
First, a teenager is getting bad grades at school.
This can cause a problem because the parents o f a
teen who is not getting the best grades in school will
be worried about him graduating from high school
and getting into college. Also, if a teen gets bad
grades, he probably will not get any scholarships for
school, which can be a hardship on parents.
Next, a teen is hanging out with a bad crowd. A
teenager who has friends that do things their parents
do not approve of can end up doing those things too,
and the teen's friends will probably not be received well by the parents.
Then, a parent who is very strict with their teenager will probably have problems with
him at some point. It is important to be firm, but not very firm, since this may make a
teenager want to rebel even more.
If you are having problems with your parents, you will probably want to fix them. Lack
o f communication causes a lot o f problems between parents and teenagers. It is important for
both parties to communicate. You should do things together with your parents, such as going
to a movie or playing board games, or go to a family counselor.
Fixing a family problem might seem hard, but as long as everyone communicates his or
her feelings, everything should work out in the end.

5. What are the ways to fix the problems between parents and their teens?

III)-Read the passage about family rules, and then answer the questions.
Just like any institution, a family also needs rules. Rules are very important because they
keep things in order. For a family, rules are as necessary as food and clothing. The rules are
very important because they maintain peace and order in the family. For example, children
should respect and listen to their parents.
If there are decisions to be made, for example, it is not only the parents who are going to
decide especially if the children are already grown up. It would be better if everybody is
involved in making the decision of important matters.
Rules are needed to maintain a harmonious relationship among family members. Parents are
there the pillars o f the family and to guide the children to be responsible and practise good values.
Rules teach children to become more responsible and have discipline not only at home
but especially outside o f the home. When there are rules to follow, the children will know
what they should and should not do. Rules help to avoid conflict and misunderstanding that
may lead to fights and aggression especially among children. Parents should set rules for the
children to follow to avoid quarrels and fights. There are times when children fight over
simple matters and this happens if the parents do not interfere but when parents set the rules
and let the children follow there will be fewer or no conflicts.

Zoe: Posted yesterday at 17:10
M adonna Fan M other
My problem is my mum! She’s really nice and I get on well with her. I sometimes argue
with her about little things, but nothing important. All my friends love her - she’s great
fun. When she was at my age, Madonna was really popular and Mum was a fan - she wore
miniskirts and leggings, lots of jewellery, and dyed her hair blond. I think she wanted to be
Madonna! She was only sixteen so it was okay. However, she still wears leggings and
short denim skirts now, and I can’t stand it. She even uploads photos o f herself onto her
homepage, so all my online friends can see her. What can I do?

Benny: Posted today at 13:21
You’re lucky to have a cool mum - my mum is so conservative. She wears baggy jeans,
and long skirts, and she never wears jewellery. Although she’s only thirty-seven,
everybody thinks she’s older because her clothes are old-fashioned. One friend even
thought she was my grandmother! Your mum should give my mum some fashion advice!

Jolie: Posted today at 11:10
I agree with you, Zoe. My problem is my father. He loves T-shirts with bad slogans like,
“This is what a cool dad looks like.” ©

JJR: Posted today at 7:45
I think your mum’s cool. But why are you friends with her online??!!?? She’s your mother,
not your friend!',

Zoe: Posted today at 21:01
My mum got me a fantastic new laptop for my birthday, so when she wanted to be my
online friend, I couldn’t say no! Sometimes, she’s at work and I’m at home, and she wants
to have a real-time chat with me online! I just go offline. I love chatting to my friends, but
I can chat to Mum when I get home.

Ross: Posted yesterday at 17:26
Zoe, your mum wants to stay young, and why not? Her generation wore denim miniskirts
before our generation. You say she’s great fun - that’s more important than the clothes she
wears. Most parents don’t understand the virtual world, but you’re lucky - your mother has
a homepage and knows how to use it. I think that’s great. ©

Task 1: What is Zoe’s problem? Circle the correct answer.
A. She thinks her mother looks like Madonna.

VI)-Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
It is generally accepted that teenage is a difficult period o f life for the teenagers and even
for the parents. Frequent fighting over the most trivial things is one main characteristic of
every household with a teenager.
Parents expect their children to come back home earlier. What parents consider the
reasonable time limit is not accepted by their teens. Curfew and time restrictions become one
o f the main reasons for fights.
Teenage is a time when a lot o f kids want to show their independence. The problem arises
when parents, fearing the safety of their teens, often refuse to give them their own bikes or
motorbikes. This, of course, leads to more fights.
A decrease in grades due to increasing difficulty level o f school work, newer subjects,
more socializing is very common among teens but their parents are not sympathetic. Parents
try to impose studying rules and insist that their teens finish their homework before going out.
This makes the situation worse.
That children spend too much time on the phone is one complaint that most parents have.
The age of smartphones has ensured that kids put their smartphones above almost everything
else. Parents, however, worry that teens spending too much time on their phones lose out on
family time and real human interaction, besides harming their eyes.
Teenagers develop a taste for unhealthy but delicious fast food, while parents believe that
a growing body needs proper nutrition. As cold drinks, burgers and pizzas replace

wholesome, home cooked meals, parents worry. Moreover, teenage is a time when kids
become more and more conscious o f their weight and body image. To achieve the ‘ideal’ thin
body type, girls often starve themselves and skip meals. O f course, this also leads to a lot of
arguments between parents who try to convince their daughters that proper meals are more
important than being thin.
31. Teenage is a difficult period o f life for both the teenagers and the parents because_____ .
A. children always do the most trivial things in every household
B. parents expect their children to come back home as they would like to

C. children spend too much time on their phones, talking to their friends
D. parents don’t understand what their children think and believe

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 o f 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 o f arguing w ith 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 o f 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 o f the parents that they make their kids understand their limitation and
define a boundary for them. This is done for the benefit of the children so that they know what
is right and what is wrong for them.
31. One of the main reasons o f the generation gap is th a t______ .
A. children can m ake their own decisions
B. children were not able to make their own decisions
c . the problems o f the generation gap to be small
D. children are being treated as a child
