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 in school. This is a normal
development at this age , though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of 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 plant but

III. READING COMPREHENSION. (1 pts)
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F).
LEARNING ENGLISH
It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents. Unlike children, who are flexible,

adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or smartest adult students have
difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her
pronunciation.
One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to
understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English
outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country
greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students can also learn important cultural
information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live
together.
Living with someone from another culture can be difficult. International students are usually excited
when they first show up at their new homes, but after a few months they may start to think about their home
countries and get homesick. Students who are homesick get depressed quickly. They might cry a lot or want to
be alone. This makes it difficult for them to make friends and learn English.
T/F
101.Adult students of English cannot improve their accents because they are slow to change.
102.Attending a pronunciation class can be very helpful to adult learners who have problems with
their pronunciation.
103.To avoid misunderstandings about cultures, students should live with native speakers.
104.On their arrival , most international students may forget about the problems because they are
very excited .
105.The passage implies that adult learners shouldn’t study English in an English-speaking country
to avoid these problems .
IV. PREPOSITIONS AND PHRASAL VERBS.
Supply each space with a suitable preposition to complete each sentence.
106. _______ the age of 40, he had written three best-selling novels.
107. Scientists are very concerned _______the consequences of climate change.
108. There is no point _______asking Sam for help.

II. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to the questions below ;
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 in school. This is a normal
development at this age , though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of 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 plant 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 behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessarry.

LEARNING ENGLISH
It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents. Unlike children, who are flexible,
adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or smartest adult students have
difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her
pronunciation.
One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to
understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English
outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country
greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students can also learn important cultural
information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live
together.
Living with someone from another culture can be difficult. International students are usually excited
when they first show up at their new homes, but after a few months they may start to think about their home
countries and get homesick. Students who are homesick get depressed quickly. They might cry a lot or want to
be alone. This makes it difficult for them to make friends and learn English.
