Read the passage below and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each question.
Many young people strive to be independent. That means you are able to take care of
yourself, and you don't have to rely on anyone else. However, to live independently, you need
a number of life skills in order not to depend on your parents and older brothers or
sisters. One of the most important skills is time management which can help you build your
confidence and self-esteem. With good time management skills, you can perform your daily
tasks, including your responsibilities at school and at home with pleasing results. Moreover,
you will not feel stressed when exam dates are approaching. These skills can also help you
act more independently and responsibly, get better grades at school and have more time for
your family and friends.
Developing time-management skills is not as challenging as you may think. Firstly, make a
plan for things you need to do, including appointments and deadlines. Using a diary or apps
on mobile devices will remind you of what you need to accomplish and when you need
to accomplish it. Secondly, prioritize your activities. You need to decide which tasks are the

most urgent and important and then, concentrate on these first. This way, you may not be at
a loss to deal with too much work at the same time. Thirdly, develop routines because
routines, when established, take less time for you to do your tasks.
Time management skills are not hard to develop; once you master them, you will find out that
they are great keys to success and you can become independent.

Read the passage below and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each question.
The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another,
especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such
family conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small
kids and keep in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or
have wise choices. Therefore, they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to
discover the outside world. Nevertheless, they forget that as children grow up, they want to be
more independent and develop their own identity by creating their own opinions, thoughts,
styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on
wearing fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value
traditional clothes believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the

society. It becomes worse when the expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to be
beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education
between parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their
feet and that dazzling future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their
parents try to impose their choices of university or career on them regardless of their
children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It
seems that the best way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and
understanding.
