1 Adolescence always has been and always will be the very difficult time in
2 life. You are lost where between childhood and adulthood, but still, this is the
3 time in life when you have to break freely from the conformity of your peers to
4 find yourself. Some people argue that it’s more difficult to be young today than
5 it used to be. Is this true, and in that case, why?
6 In modern society teenagers pressure to mature much more quickly than one
7 or two hundred years ago. Today, minors on a very early stage have to make
Page 2 of 10
 8 decisions regard education, often bearing upon their future careers. In the past,
9 children were expected to follow in the footsteps of their parents, that is to say,
10 the son was supposed to take in the profession of his father, while the daughter
11 was expected to stay at home to take care of domestic duties such as cooking
12 and cleaning.
13 Furthermore, today it’s much more difficult to find your place in society. As
14 cities grow, crime increases, and the anonymity people experiment grows as
15 well. It becomes more difficult to find and cultivate your own ideals and value.
16 On the other hand, the adolescent of today have great opportunities than
17 ever before. In the past, if your father was a blacksmith or a farmer, in ten years,
18 so you would be. Today, teenagers have the possibility to fulfill in all their
19 dreams and ambitions.

PART 2 ( Chuyên Lê Thánh Tông – Quảng Nam)
Interviewer: And now Sarah Brown is here to talk to us about her latest book. Patterns of Friendship.
Sarah, you’ve found that there are quite noticeable patterns in the way that people make friends…
Sarah Brown: Mmm, absolutely. For example, friendship becomes important quite early on, in
children as young as three. But up to about five, children have what you could call unchosen playmates,
based quite practically on what’s available, they can’t exactly go out to look for them… often the
children of their parents’friends, or family relations. (1C)– And it’s actually quite an egoistic
relationship at this stage there may be frequent quarrels over possessions-toys and so on…
Interviewer: Yes, you think they’ll play together happily sharing their toys and the next thing you
know, one’s in floods of tears and you have to sort out …
Sarah Brown: Yes, but by the time the child’s about five it starts to change. (2B) Once they’re at
school, children begin to choose their own playmates– other children in the same class, or living nearby,
maybe in the same street. And they start to co-operate more. But friendship’s still a way of serving self-
interest, and friends are expected to keep to certain rules.
Interviewer: Yes, I noticed with my own kids that they can get really upset with their friends.

Page 7 of 10
Sarah Brown: Yes, exactly, and this carries on to eight or ten years old, but gradually they begin to be
able to see things from other people’s point of view and er this, marks the point at which the child is
beginning to acquire knowledge of social relationships.
Interviewer: And how do they develop these social skills?
Sarah Brown: Well, from 12 onwards, as they enter adolescence, children are beginning to stand on
their own feet, er, the influence of their parents tend to decline, and they feel the need for a close friend,
nearly always with someone of the same sex. (3D) They’re looking for friends who are people they
admire, who they see as similar to the sort of person they’d like to be and these friendships take on great
importance. Friends have got to be trustworthy and friendships are very exclusive, but at the same time
there’s the group thing, they’re developing networks of friends, having fun together.
Interviewer: So they go to clubs and cafes big groups.
Sarah Brown: Mmm, yes, and spend a lot of their free time together. And this continues for some years
– so young adults – from 18 to 25, or when they get married, have close friendships, like adolescents,
and may see their friends every day, and spend hours on the phones.
Interviewer: I suppose that for most of us, this is probably the period when our circle of friends is at its
widest, isn’t it? But is it affected by marriage?
Sarah Brown: oh yes, quite considerably – the couple may move away, they may have children.
Friends still see one another, but instead of every day or every week, they might get together once 2
month or just at special times…parties and so on.
Interviewer: And what about new friends?
Sarah Brown: (4C) They may make some, but they tend to be based more on neighbourhood and work
contacts, and they’re often less intimate than the friendships formed earlier on.
Interviewer: So less in the way of sharing secrets and confidences.
Sarah Brown: Yes, exactly. (5A) And in middle age, between 55 and 65 or even older, after retirement,
people take on new friends even less easily. At this time of life they hold on to earlier friendships which
are often more intimate than the more recent ones, even though they see these older friends less often.
Friends now aren’t based so much on neighbourhood they can be with people of any age. And
ironically, when they give up work there’s a further decline in contacts with friends.
Interviewer: Really?
Sarah Brown: Yes, because of transport difficulties, illness, that sort of thing. They’re more likely to
turn back to their families at this point full circle, as you might say!
Interviewer: Sarah Brown, thank you

PART 3 ( Chuyên Thái Nguyên)

We've also got a great entertainment programme lined up for you, starting tonight with our welcorning
party. We have a top band line d up for your entertainment, but I'm not allowed to say who they are. All
I can say is that I am sure you will not be disappointed. So come along to Blackmoor Hall at nine
o’clock this evening to get your university experience off to a flying start! Just one point — I'm afraid
this event is limited to freshers only. Because of space restrictions you can’t bring a friend tonight.
Sorry about that!
There’s more fun and games On Monday in the Cotswold Theatre here on campus. We have
booked two of the cleverest comedians in the country, Paul Frasier and Jenny Brown, for a three-hour
show. Paul has assured us that he and Jenny have packed the show with new material and as they
always get rave reviews for their shows, I think we can look forward to an evening of great
entertainment. That' in the Cotswold Theatre on Monday evening at 7:30.
Moving along a bit, on Thursday there is an important date for
your diaries. This is the official freshers' opening ceremony, when the Dean welcomes you to Upton

University. So remember, Thursday the front 2.30 to 3.30 in Blackmoor Hall. You certainly should go
to this one and by the way, light refreshments will be available.
At the end of the week, on Saturday, you have the chance to dress
up in your smartest evening wear for the official freshers' ball. Actually, although it' called a ball, it
is quite a relaxed affair we are more than happy if you turn up wearing jeans and a T-shirt, the important
thing is to relax and enjoy yourselves. Time and place are the same as for this evening party —
Blackmoor Hall from nine in the evening to three o’clock in the morning
Right, I think I've covered the most important and exciting events we have lined up for you,
but there will be plenty of other things going on throughout the Week. So remember to check the notice
board in the entrance lobby regularly. Enjoy the rest of the day% and I look forward to meeting as many
of you as possible this evening at the welcoming party.
