Read the passage and choose the best option to fill in each blank.

An important part of being an adult is becoming more independent from your parents. _____(1)_____ independent, you'll need to focus on your living situation, your financial resources, your budgeting behavior and possibly how you interact with your parents in your day-to-day life.

Make sure you are living somewhere other than your parents' house or in a residence that your parents have paid ____(2)____. If you want to be independent and make your own decisions about how you live, you will need to obtain your own housing that is completely separate from your parents both physically and financially.

One of the main challenges in becoming independent as an adult is acquiring a sufficient income to allow you to live without the financial ____(3)____of your parents. This can be particularly difficult if you are still a university student, but it is not impossible. Seek scholarships and part-time jobs. If you are ___(4)____ a student, find employment that offers a salary that can cover your expenses. Avoid relying on your parents as the first option for help of any kind. Although your parents will always be an important source of social support in your life, your parents should not be the first people you approach with requests for help, or requests for financial assistance. This means that you may never ask your parents for help again, it just means that as an independent adult, there should be ___(5)____ sources of support within your life that you can turn to when necessary.

Bài 2 :

Read the passage. Circle the best answer to each of the questions.

When it comes to preparations for studying abroad, the very first challenge for students is how to live independently. Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a faraway country often ingrains an obscure fear of loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a plan to earn a degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves with essential skills to start a truly independent life as soon as possible. First and foremost, you do not need to be an excellent cook but should know basic cooking skills to feed yourselves. Suppose that you experienced a pandemic period, you would have to cook at home due to social distancing and most restaurant closures. Second, clean-up and household skills are of equal importance. To lower accommodation costs, many students often choose to share apartments with other mates. Definitely, no one wants to stay with those who are untidy and do not know how to do simple household tasks, so make sure that you can do daily housework well enough. Third, money management is a challenging task for most overseas students. Some students are often flat broke at the end of the month because they cannot handle their budget. It’s advisable to be a smart shopper by making a suitable shopping list and keeping an accurate record of your daily expenses to avoid pointless debt. In short, the pieces of advice will hopefully make your independent life easier when you go to university in another country.

Peers affect each other just by spending time together. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s natural to listen to and learn from other people your age.

Peers can affect you in many ways. For example, you might see what teens in your class are wearing, like it, and wear something like that, too. It (1) _________ both ways. Your peers might watch what you do and start doing it, too.

Peers can influence each other in good ways. Maybe a teen in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you admire a friend (2) _________ is a good sport, and you try (3) _________ more like them. Maybe you got others excited about your new favourite book and now everyone’s reading it.

But peers can also influence each other in ways that aren’t so good. They might try to pressure you (4) _________ doing something you know is wrong. For example, what if a few teens in school try to get you to (5) _________ class with them? What if your soccer teammate tries to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass them the ball? What if a kid in the neighbourhood wants you to drink alcohol with them?

Earning your parents’ trust

(Được bố mẹ tin tưởng)

1. Listen and read. 

(Nghe và đọc.)


Nam: Mai, why don't you answer your phone? It keeps ringing.

Mai: It’s my mum who's calling me again. She wants me to contact her from time to time while I’m out.

Nam: My parents usec to be like that. They thought I didn’t have the confidence to deal with difficult situations.

Mark: I had the same experience. It was earning my parents’ trust that took a long time. But I managed to convince them that I'm responsible when I’m out and about.

Mai: It’s my parents who still think I don’t have the skills to be independent. I'm not good at managing my time or money, but I’m independent at home - I can cook, clean the house, and do my laundry!

Nam: That’s a good star! I use a time-management app to plan my weekly schedule including all my activities and responsibilities. Would you like me to help you install it?

Mai: That'd be great. Thanks, Nam.

Mark: I use a money-management app. It’s the app that taught me how to be responsible with money.

Mai: Mark, can you show it to me?

Mark: No problem. My parents also encourage me to take part-time jobs and pay me for doing certain chores around the house.

Mai: Lucky you!

Becoming independent is important for teenagers. Below are the necessary skills you should learn to achieve independence for the future.

A. ___________________

First, make sure you can safely get around by yourself using public transport, walking, or cycling. Second, learn to communicate well and develop good relationships with people. Do some part-time jobs and get to know how to manage your money. You should also learn to cook healthy meals for your family. Finally, help your parents with household chores like cleaning and doing laundry.

B. ___________________

To begin with, identify the problem and come up with as many solutions as possible. Write down the options, so you can review the advantages and disadvantages of each one. This will help you see which option could be the best for you. Don’t base your decision on emotion only. Once you have made your choice, create a plan of specific steps to move forward. Then carry out your plan, and think about whether you have achieved the result you wanted.

C. ___________________

First of all, get into the habit of making a to-do-list every day or week. Make use of time-management tools, such as apps or diaries, to know what you need to do next. In addition, decide how much time you need for each task and always do one thing at a time to make sure you complete it. Schedule time to relax as well, and make sure you sleep at least nine hours each night. A good night's sleep is necessary for teenage brain development and good health. Becoming independent is not easy, but itis not as challenging as you may think. It’s about learning useful skills, making decisions by yourself, and knowing how to spend your time.

Teen independence in the US

(Sự tự lập của thanh thiếu niên ở Mỹ)

1. Read the text below and complete the diagram. Use no more than THREE words for each gap.

(Đọc đoạn văn dưới đây và hoàn thành sơ đồ. Sử dụng không quá BA từ cho mỗi chỗ trống.)

American parents usually encourage independence in their teenage children, and it is normal for teens to want more responsibility and freedom for their choices.

American teenagers often start high school with a basic plan of classes they need to take to get a high school diploma. Some subjects like English, maths, science, or social studies are required, others can be selected. Schools also provide extracurricular activities, such as sports, clubs, and bands. American teenagers who plan to go to college study hard to get good grades. They are highly motivated and very confident, and take responsibility for their learning.

Many American teenagers have part-time jobs as they want to gain work experience and learn how to manage their money. Many teens work at fast-food restaurants and stores, or do babysitting, and dog walking for neighbours. They also volunteer at local hospitals, food banks, and old people's homes, or take part in clean-up activities to improve their neighbourhood. This community service counts towards the volunteer hours that some schools require for university admission.

The teenage years form an important period of their development that influences adult life. The main goal of this period for most American teenagers is becoming independent, and they work hard both at school and outside school to achieve this goal.

(Đọc thư rất nhanh. Mark và James đã nói về hai món ăn nào?)

New message

Hi James,

Thanks for your last email. You were right - It is really easy to do my own laundry. I think mom will be surprised when I tell her about it!

The first few weeks of university have been great, and I'm making lots of new friends. The only problem is that I've almost run out of money already. Eating out every day is so much more expensive than I thought it would be! You always made really good fried rice when you lived with us. Is it difficult to make?

Please tell Mom and Dad I said "hi" and make sure Mom waters the plants in my room, OK?

Mark

 

New message

Hello Mark,

I'm glad it's all going well! Mom will be happy when she hears about how independent you're becoming. Maybe you can do all of our laundry the next time you visit us, haha.

About food, it's really important for you to take care of yourself. You can save a lot of money by making your own meals. Fried rice is really easy to cook, but it'll be much better for you to learn some healthier recipes. I think you should try a simple chicken curry. It's a bit more difficult to cook, but it's much healthier. It's also really good to make a lot of curry at once, and then freeze it. I guess you're really busy with your lessons, so it will be convenient for you to heat it up quickly when you're hungry. You could even share some with your new friends!

Anyway, see you soon, Mark!

Chào James,

Cảm ơn email cuối cùng của bạn. Bạn đã đúng - Tự giặt quần áo thật dễ dàng. Tôi nghĩ mẹ sẽ ngạc nhiên khi tôi nói với mẹ về điều đó!

Vài tuần đầu tiên ở trường đại học thật tuyệt vời, và tôi đang kết bạn với rất nhiều bạn mới. Vấn đề duy nhất là tôi đã gần hết tiền rồi. Đi ăn ngoài mỗi ngày đắt hơn nhiều so với tôi nghĩ! Bạn luôn làm cơm chiên rất ngon khi bạn sống với chúng tôi. Có khó thực hiện không?

Hãy nói với bố mẹ là con đã nói "xin chào" và đảm bảo rằng mẹ sẽ tưới cây trong phòng của con, được chứ?

Mark

 

Tin nhắn mới

Xin chào Mark,

Tôi rất vui vì mọi chuyện đang diễn ra tốt đẹp! Mẹ sẽ rất vui khi biết bạn đã trở nên độc lập như thế nào. Có lẽ bạn có thể giặt tất cả quần áo của chúng tôi vào lần tới khi bạn đến thăm chúng tôi, haha.

Về thức ăn, điều quan trọng là bạn phải tự chăm sóc bản thân. Bạn có thể tiết kiệm rất nhiều tiền bằng cách tự nấu ăn. Cơm chiên rất dễ nấu, nhưng sẽ tốt hơn nếu bạn học một số công thức nấu ăn tốt cho sức khỏe hơn. Tôi nghĩ bạn nên thử món cà ri gà đơn giản. Nó khó nấu hơn một chút, nhưng nó tốt cho sức khỏe hơn nhiều. Nó cũng thực sự tốt để làm nhiều cà ri cùng một lúc, sau đó đông lạnh. Tôi đoán bạn đang thực sự bận rộn với các bài học của mình, vì vậy sẽ thuận tiện cho bạn hâm nóng nó nhanh chóng khi bạn đói. Bạn thậm chí có thể chia sẻ một số với bạn bè mới của bạn!

Dù sao, hẹn gặp lại, Mark!

Finally, I want to thank you for having made me spend many hours redoing my homework. I hated it then, but now I understand that you only wanted to help me get better. I learned a lot, and my assignments now get really good grades because of it.

Thank you for always supporting me and making me do my best.

Thank you for always supporting me and making me do my best.

Sincerely,

Patricia Harris

Tạm dịch:

Kính gửi bà Johnson,

Bạn dạo này thế nào? Đã lâu rồi kể từ lần cuối tôi nói chuyện với bạn. Tôi viết thư này để nói với bạn rằng tôi thực sự biết ơn vì đã có bạn làm giáo viên ở trường trung học. Bạn đã cho tôi rất nhiều tình yêu và giúp tôi trở thành một người tốt hơn. Những kỹ năng mà tôi học được từ bạn đã giúp tôi rất nhiều.

Tôi thích học các kỹ năng quản lý cảm xúc trong lớp học của bạn. Tôi đã rất căng thẳng khi bắt đầu sống một mình. Mọi thứ đều mới mẻ và khác biệt. Nhờ những kỹ năng bạn dạy tôi, tôi đã có thể giữ bình tĩnh và kiểm soát cảm xúc của mình tốt hơn.

Tôi cũng đánh giá cao bài học của bạn về quản lý thời gian. Học kỳ trước tôi đã hoàn thành tất cả thời gian bài tập của mình! Và cảm ơn vì đã cho tôi nhiều bài học lớn về xây dựng mối quan hệ. Tôi vẫn nhớ những gì bạn nói về việc thể hiện sự ủng hộ của bạn bè chúng tôi. Điều này giúp tôi có nhiều bạn tốt.

Cuối cùng, tôi muốn cảm ơn bạn vì đã khiến tôi dành nhiều giờ để làm lại bài tập về nhà. Lúc đó tôi ghét điều đó, nhưng bây giờ tôi hiểu rằng bạn chỉ muốn giúp tôi khỏe hơn. Tôi đã học được rất nhiều, và bài tập của tôi bây giờ đạt điểm rất cao nhờ nó.

Cảm ơn bạn đã luôn ủng hộ tôi và khiến tôi cố gắng hết sức.

Trân trọng.

Patricia Harris

A. Planning how to use your money

B. Learning valuable lessons

C. The importance of saving money

D. Opening a bank account

E. Saving your pocket money for university

F. Earning money as a teenager

How to earn and manage money

1. _____________

You probably get some pocket money from your parents by doing nothing. But you can tell them that you’ll be happy to earn the money by doing chores for them. It’s also good to work for someone else, such as a neighbour or grandparent, to earn more money. Doing a part-time job at a family-run café is not a bad idea.

2. _____________

Once you have earned some money, think about having a bank account. Generally, teenagers can’t open bank accounts by themselves, so their parents will need to help. By having them as co-owners, you’ll learn valuable lessons from your parents about how to keep track of spending and balance your account.

3. _____________

While earning money is difficult, spending it is very easy. As a teenager, you should learn how to manage your money carefully so that you can become a responsible and independent adult. Always plan what to buy and how much you can afford to spend on it. For example, if you buy something for yourself or a family member, think about its price and where to buy it. Don’t spend more than you earn.

4. _____________

People often say “A penny saved is a penny earned” meaning that it’s important to save the money you already have. You can use your savings for bigger things, such as school trips or university fees. Once you start earning a salary, follow the 50/30/20 rule: 50 per cent for needs, 30 per cent for wants, and 20 per cent for savings.
