Questions 16-25 Read the information below and complete the graphic organiser that follows.
One of the ways we can help save the environment is by learning the
difference between “needs" and "wants”. Much of the carbon
dioxide emissions and waste generated are a result of our wants
that we convince ourselves are our needs. We tell ourselves we need
a big petrol-guzzling SUV because we need the space for long
Dr Anand drives. Many do not realise that a smaller car will do, too.

[Time suggested : 50 minutes]
1 Few people have gone through their teens without feeling at sometime or
other that they were not understood by their parents. It should not surprise
them to find that people occasionally fail to understand them. Often enough
they find it hard to understand themselves – especially during the turbulent
teens. This bitter mood of loneliness in teenagers usually follows some 5
disagreement with their parents. Jason may be told not to go to a certain
movie. Pat may be told not to mix with certain companions and Alice is
forbidden to see a certain boy while Anna is refused money for a new dress
for a party. So they conclude that their parents are old-fashioned squares
who just do not understand the youth of today. 10
2 If you look back over the past 16 to 19 years you can, I am sure, find ample
evidence that your parents love you. They have, for instance, spent a fortune
on you; on clothes food, shelter, entertainment and education. Probably both
your father and mother have done without a thing so that they could spend
money on you. Besides, they have spent hours, years rather, caring for you 15
and your comfort from the days when they walked you up and down the
bedroom in the early hours of the morning trying to get you back to sleep,
right down to the last meal your mother cooked for you. In fact, you and your
happiness have been at the back of all their decisions and plans. They have
proven that they love you more than anyone else you know – probably more 20
than anyone else ever will.
3 Therefore, you can be sure that any regulations they make, any prohibitions
they impose, any commands they give is motivated by their love for you and
their desire for your happiness. You can be sure that no one is more
interested in your welfare and happiness than they are. Whatever you think 25
of their ideas, at least you must concede that their intentions are good. Of
course the misunderstood teenagers will say that they do not question their
parents‟ love. It is just that their parents have such ideas and such old-
fashioned ways of looking at things. They have not moved with the times.
4 Teenagers should realize that parents, when giving advice to their sons or 30
daughters, talk from experience – their own and that of others they have
known. They have been through the teens themselves and can remember
their problems, their dreams, their fears and their hopes. They have met all
the situations you are now encountering and many, many more that you have
not yet encountered. They know from their experience how they overcame 35
this or that problem, how they ran into danger doing this or following that
course of action. They remember people who slipped morally, and others
who messed up their own lives. Your parents remember how it all started and
where these people went wrong.
5 It is their dearest wish to save you from similar mistakes and so they use 40
their experience to protect you from anything or anyone they can see who
would endanger your faith, your morals or your happiness. That is why
parents are not impressed when you say, “But lots of young folks are allowed
8
www.banksoalanspm.com
1119/2
to do such and such a thing…”. Your parents know that there have
always been those who were allowed such liberties and they have seen the 45
results. They want to save you from those results.
6 Perhaps you have failed to prove that you are grown-up enough to be
trusted; maybe you have lied about where you have been or with whom;
maybe the friends you have selected so far are not worthwhile and your
parents fear that you lack judgment; maybe you have not enough interest in 50
your religious duties and your parents are trying to save you from further
drifting from the truth, religion and morals. The quickest way to be treated like
an adult is to act like one.
7 Of course, parents are not infallible and they can also make mistakes. They
can have blind spots in their judgments. They can let their opinion of 55
someone be warped by prejudice. They can misread a situation and
condemn it unreasonably. But when they impose some restrictions or
regulations, they presumption is that they do understand and that they have
good reason for making it, a reason based on their love for you. If you
remember this instead of wallowing in immature self-pity and sobbing over 60
„poor little me‟ you will be a lot easier to live with. You will be a great deal
happier and you will have a sure and safe guidance over the dangerous
years.
