I'm delighted to hear of your success. (Tôi rất vui sướng vì nghe tin anh thành công.)
2. Infinitive without TO

let/ make + object + infinitive without to
Ví dụ: The film made me cry.
(Bộ phim đã làm tôi khóc.)
Will you let me use your camera?
(Bạn vui lòng cho mình dùng máy ảnh của bạn được không?)

- Ta dùng Infinitive without TO sau một số động từ chỉ giác quan như see, hear, smell, feel, watch,

Ví dụ: Last week, I went to London and saw England play against Brazil in a big football match. (= I
saw the whole game.)
(Tuần trước, tôi đi Luân Đôn xem trận bóng đá lớn giữa đội Anh thi đấu với đội Brazil.)
3. To-infinitive after adjectives

Give teens a break!
Teenage years are filled with all kinds of problems-lack of self-confidence, nagging parents, peer
pressure, doing well in the exams and getting into university. Some of their problems result from the
emotional and physical changes teenagers are going through.
Teenagers are extremely concerned about their appearance. So, it's no wonder they spend so much
time in front of the mirror! They notice every single thing about themselves - their body changing shape,

5
hair appearing in unlikely places, annoying spots breaking out. Teenagers are rarely happy about these
changes which can affect how they feel about themselves.
Sometimes, parents hurt their teenage children's feelings by making jokes about their appearance.
They also tend to pay little attention to teenage worries and think of them as being silly. Your daughter
may be convinced that her nose looks awful and that plastic surgery is the only solution even though
everybody else fails to notice the problem. By trying to explain that other people do not normally pay as
much attention to our physical features as we do ourselves, we can help teenagers feel better about
themselves and become more confident.
Teenagers also tend to avoid doing things they don't like, especially helping around the house. They
are likely to try to get out of doing household chores - and certainly don't respond well to orders. The
more you discuss the type of household chore your teenage son or a daughter might not mind doing, the
better. He or she, for example, may be happy to go to the supermarket, but hate the idea of washing
dishes.
It also works better if your children can, at least to some degree, do things in their own way and time.
This might seem annoying, but if all you do is order them around, you can be sure that next time they will
not do a thing. Always thank your children for their effort. And if they do something that's more than just
a simple chore - decorating, perhaps you might want to pay them.
1. Teenagers spend a lot of time looking in the mirror because they
A. like admiring their bodies.
B. are worried about the changes happening to their bodies.
C. are thinking how they can improve their appearance.
D. have nothing better to do.
2. When teenagers express their concern about their appearance, their parents
A. get upset with them.
B. show no interest in their worries.
C. don't take their concerns very seriously.
D. don't believe them.
3. The writer advises the parents to
A. support their children if they decide to have plastic surgery.
B. give them tips on how to improve their appearance.
C. ignore their concerns.
D. tell them that they actually look better than they think they do.
4. When it comes to housework, most teenagers
A. help a lot with housework.
B. usually prefer going to the supermarket.
C. expect something in return for helping around the house.
D. find ways not to take part in it.
5. Parents can make their teenage children help around the house by
A. giving them specific instructions about their duties.
B. making them feel responsible for their actions.
C. telling them that they have to become involved.

Exercise 2: Read the text and questions below. Mark the correct letter A, B, C or D for each
question.
Teenagers today are undergoing lots of changes. They are between the ages of 13 to 19. Many of
them are undergoing physical and emotional changes. These are the stages in the teenagers that are
unavoidable.

9
 The teenage life is full of happiness, sadness, enjoyment and it can be interesting too. This is because
in the teenage life that a teenager is subjected to physical growth, hormonal changes and even dilemmas.
They may be in a stage of conflict like undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.
Making friends is part and parcel of a teenager's life. The teenager should enjoy life by making
friends with peers and participate in healthy activities such as camping, picnic, kayaking, swimming and
so on. Through friends, a teenager learns to joke, laugh and play to release stress and tension. By making
friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys and even eases the bitterness of life's downtime.
Many teenagers are very conscious of their physical outlook. It is at this part of their life that beauty
strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up with the latest trends for dressing, hairstyle and
even look good with their physical image. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to slim down in order to
look attractive. Others may suffer from acne and pimples that may scar their external beauty.
Another stage in a teenager is the teenager's love life. There are chemical changes in the body and so
the teenager tends to have a sense of feelings for the opposite sex. They will experience love and
rejection. These sometimes will affect their studies.
Parents tend to play a role in a teenager's life. Parents today are overly concern over their children's
well-being. They like to control their freedom and have a say in what the teenagers do. Hence, we have
cases of disagreements, disputes, quarrels and even runaways from homes among some teenage girls.
There are also negative problems that may pop out during a teenage life. A teenager is not well
guided may fall into the wrong path. Some teenagers are involved in drugs trafficking, smoking, drinking
and smuggling of illegal products into the country. Others tend to vent their anger by vandalizing public
property. We have those with no regard and respect for the elders.
The mass media has an influence over the lives of many teenagers. Violent action movies, obscene
shows and pornography surfed from the Internet can bring a disastrous effect on a teenager's life. There
will be more harm than good if nothing is done.
From paragraph 1
1. (a) What is the age range of a teenager?
(b) What are the changes that a teenager undergoes?
