Laurence Steinberg, a professor of psychology at Temple University and author
of the 10 basic principles of good parenting, offers his advice for the parents of
teens.
1.
Many parents mistakenly believe that by the time children have become
teenagers, there‘s nothing more a parent can do wrong. Students clearly show
that good parenting continues to help teenagers develop in healthy ways, stay
out of trouble and do well in school.
2.
Don’t hold back when it comes to giving your approval and showing physical
affection. There is no evidence that adolescents are harmed by having parents
who are caring –as long as you don’t embarrass them in front of their friends.
3.
Many parents give a lot of time and attention to their child only during the early
years. This is a mistake. It’s just as important for you to be involved in your


child’s life also now – maybe even more so. Participate in school programs. Get
to know your child’s friends. Spend time together. Stay involved.

4.
Many parenting strategies that work at one age stop working at the next stage of
development. As children get older, for example, their ability to reason improves
dramatically, and they won’t listen to you if they feel they are treated like little
children.
5.
The most important thing children need from their parents is love, but a close
sencond is structure. Even teenagers need rules. Be firm but fair. Relax your
rules bit by bit as your child demonstrates morre maturity. If he or she can’t
handle the freedoom, tighten the reins and try again in a few months.
6.
Many parents erroneously think that their teenager’s strong desire for the
freedoom to organize their own lives means rebelliousness, disobedience or
disrespect. It’s healthy for adolescents to push autonomy. Give your children the
psychological space. They need to learn to be self-reliant, and resist the
temptation to micromanage.
7.
Good parents have expectations but, in order for your teenager to live up to
them, your rules and decisions have to be clear and appropriate. As your child
becomes more adept at reasoning, it’s no longer good enough to say “Because I
said so.”

TASK 2: Read the text below and match each paragraph with a proper title
in the box.

A. Are dreams messages from our brains?
B. Do dreams predict the future?
C. Can you control your dreams?
D. How can you understand the messages?

E. Are dreams just recycled thoughts?

Can you remember a time when you woke up from a fantastic, scary or strange
dream? Maybe you were scared and had to turn on the light or the dream was so
good you wanted to stay in it longer. Probably, in either case, you forgot most of
the details before breakfast. But are dreams just dreams or are they trying to tell
you something?
1.
For hundreds of years, people have thought gods or spirits communicate with us
through our dreams. Even today, many people can remember a time when they
saw an event, place or person in their dream and then, later, the dream came true
in real life. But it’s probably just a coincidence when a dream event is followed
by a real-life event that’s similar to it, especially if the subject of the dream is
something that happens often in everyday life. Most people have four to six
dreams every night after the age of ten. That’s as many as 2,000 dreams per
year. So, by the time they reach 80 years old the average person might have had
140,000 dreams. Even if we forget 95–99 per cent of our dreams, we will still
remember a few thousand of them. And, of course, we probably choose to forget
the thousands of times we dream about events but they don’t happen.
2.
Around the 18th and 19th centuries two main ideas about dreams became
popular. One was the idea that the things we see in our dreams are things our
conscious mind is hiding from us. However, the opposite idea said that while
we’re asleep, the brain organises memories and events from the day. Dreams are
just a random collection of these thoughts, but we try to make a story from them
when we wake up.
3.
But perhaps the truth about dreams lies somewhere in the middle of these two
ideas. Dreams might be made from the thoughts we have during the day, but

they appear in dreams with symbolic meaning. When we’re awake, we mostly
think in words, like we’re having conversations with ourselves. But when we’re
asleep, the part of our brain that controls language becomes less active, while
the part that controls feelings becomes more active. So, maybe we experience
our thoughts as feelings and symbols instead of words with clear meanings.
So, if you can understand the symbols in your dreams, you have a window into
your subconscious. Common dreams like being able to fly or falling, or having
no clothes on in a public place, probably mean something similar in most
people. But to understand exactly what they mean to you, you have to connect
them to the events and feelings of your daily life.
4.
One way to help you do this is to keep a dream diary. As soon as you wake up,
write down whatever you can remember about your dreams. Use pen and paper,
not your phone or computer as the light might wake you up and you’ll forget


faster. Be quick, as the memories will be gone in seconds. Some days you’ll
write with your eyes not even fully open and the result will be almost impossible
to read, or it might not even make sense.
Now you can connect your dreams to the events and feelings in your daily life.
Think about the people and place where the dream happened as they might have
a meaning too. How were you feeling in the dream? That dream about having no
clothes on in public might mean you are anxious about something you have to
do, or you’re not feeling confident in a certain situation or with certain people.
5.
Some people think writing your dreams down can open your mind to lucid
dreaming. In lucid dreams, you know you’re dreaming and you can change your
own plot. Instead of just working out the meaning of your dreams, you’ll be
creating them. That could be a lot of fun, but you might want to continue having
some dreams that allow your subconscious to send you messages!

in the box.

A. Who will be the stars?
B. What about teen players?
C. Which countries will take part?
E. How does the tournament work?
D. What are the new rules?
F. What about the UK?
Have you bought your favourite team’s shirt? Have your friends started working
on their Neymar hairstyle? After four years of waiting, it’s time again for the
FIFA World Cup. It takes place in Russia between 14 June and 15 July.
1.
The 32 countries which have qualified include top international teams like
Brazil, Spain and Argentina. However, there are also a few surprises. Panama
will make its first appearance ever at the World Cup. The same is true for
Iceland, which, with a population of just 350,000, will be the least-populated
country ever to participate.


2.
The initial two weeks of the competition are called the Group Stage, where each
group has four teams who must all play against each other. From each group, the
two teams who finish with the most points go through to the next stage. From 30
June until 11 July, the remaining teams first play the round of 16, then the
quarter-finals and the semi-finals. In the end, two teams will qualify for the final
in Moscow on 15 July.
3.
The World Cup will feature football’s biggest names. There has been plenty of

discussion about the two top stars: Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Portugal and
Lionel Messi from Argentina. Both players have had enormous success in their
club careers but, now in their thirties, this could be the last chance for them to
lift the World Cup trophy. Brazilian fans are worried about their star player,
Neymar. In recent months he has been suffering from a leg injury, but hopes to
be fully fit again for the tournament.
4.
The 2018 tournament will feature many young players, some of whom are still
teenagers. The French player Kylian Mbappé is just 19 years old and is already
the second-most expensive player at Paris Saint-Germain. As a striker, French
supporters are hoping that he will provide a lot of goals. Another 19-year-old to
watch is Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi. This young player is already a star at his
club, Real Madrid. He plays as a defender, meaning Moroccan fans will be
hopeful that their goal is very well protected.
5.
The most important change for this year’s tournament is the introduction of
VAR (video assistant referee). When the referee needs to make a difficult
decision during the match, he can communicate with a team of experts who are
watching the match via video link. The referee can also interrupt the match so
that he can watch a video replay of certain moments. Another new rule for
World Cup 2018 will be a change to the traditional limit of three substitute
players during a match. Under the new system, teams will be allowed to make a
fourth substitution if the match goes to extra time.
6.
The only UK team competing at the 2018 World Cup will be England. Placed in
a group with Belgium, Panama and Tunisia, English fans are hoping to do well
in the Group Stage and then progress to the later rounds. The team features
many young stars such as the midfielders Raheem Sterling and Dele Alli, who
have both played strong seasons this year for their clubs in the English

Premiership. So perhaps English fans can allow themselves to at least dream of
glory.
The last World Cup (Brazil, 2014) was watched by 3.2 billion people. That’s
almost half the population of the entire world! So whether you’re a football fan
or not, this year’s tournament is going to be impossible to avoid. Make sure
you’re watching, and may the best team win!
