Dating Customs Around the World
Dating is rare in Afghanistan because most marriages are arranged by parents, and schools are
separate for boys and girls. The opportunities to meet are rare. Girls have a 7:00 pm curfew, while boys
have an 11:00 pm curfew.
It is against the law to date in Iran. Teens are separated until they are of marrying age, then their
families introduce them to each other and sometimes a courtship follows.
Most teens go out in large groups and don't pair off until they are 18 or 19 years old in Australia.
Girls often ask boys out and pay for the date, too. Couples often go to dinner parties, barbecues, or the
beach.
 Dating is usually a group event in Europe. In Spain, teens join a pandilla, a club for a group of
friends with the same interests, like cycling or hiking. Dating is done one-to-one and both girls and
boys ask each other out and split the cost of the evening's entertainment.”
In Russia, dates take place at dances or at clubs where teens eat or chat with friends. As many as 30
teens may come to a cinema to attend a movie together. In small towns, teens meet in the streets
downtown or gather around a fountain.
In Japan and Korea, most high school students don't date or go to parties, but spend their time
instead. Dating begins in college, when only boys do the asking and pay for the dates.

It is generally accepted that teenage is a difficult period of life for the teenagers and even for the
parents. Frequent fighting over the most trivial things is one main characteristic of every household
with a teenager.
Parents expect their children to come back home earlier. What parents consider the reasonable time
limit is not accepted by their teens. Curfew and time restrictions become one of the main reasons for
fights.
Teenage is a time when a lot of kids want to show their independence. The problem arises when
parents, fearing the safety of their teens, often refuse to give them their own bikes or motorbikes. This,
of course, leads to more fights.
 A decrease in grades due to increasing difficulty level of school work, newer subjects, more
socializing is very common among teens but their parents are not sympathetic. Parents try to impose
studying rules and insist that their teens finish their homework before going out. This makes the
situation worse.
That children spend too much time on the phone is one complaint that most parents have. The age
of smartphones has ensured that kids put their smartphones above almost everything else. Parents,
however, worry that teens spending too much time on their phones lose out on family time and real
human interaction, besides harming their eyes.
Teenagers develop a taste for unhealthy but delicious fast food, while parents believe that a
growing body needs proper nutrition. As cold drinks, burgers and pizzas replace wholesome, home
cooked meals, parents worry. Moreover, teenage is a time when kids become more and more conscious
of their weight and body image. To achieve the 'idea body type, girls often starve themselves and skip
meals. Of course, this also leads to a lot of arguments between parents who try to convince their
daughters that proper meals are more important than being thin.

Read the passage about the effects of teenage relationships, and then answer the questions.

Teenage relationships
Romantic relationships are a major developmental milestone. They come with all the other
changes going on during adolescence - physical, social and emotional. And they're linked to a
teenager's growing interest in body image and looks, independence and privacy.
Romantic relationships can bring lots of emotional ups and downs for a teenager- and
sometimes for the whole family. The idea that the teenager might have these kinds of feelings can
sometimes be a bit confronting for his or her parents. But these feelings are leading your child towards

averages of when teenage relationships start. From 9-11 years, your child might start to show more
independence from the family and more interest in friends. From 10-14 years, your child might want to
spend more time in mixed gender groups, which might eventually end up in a romantic relationship.

They look for more freedom and enjoy the company of their friends rather than staying at home. These
all are the changes when the kids grow from teenagers to adulthood. This is the time when they want to
be treated as big but the parents still consider them small. They want to take their own decisions but
they can’t because parents are there to take any important decisions about their children. So these
issues sometimes create a problem and this is when the generation gap comes in.
There are lots of activities which interest the kids more but parents are not willing with it. Instead
of arguing with children and avoiding the discussion, it will be good that parents take a step forward
and talk to their children.
Parents are the best friend of their children as they act as both good parents and friends. As parents
have spent a large amount of their time with their kids, so it is necessary that parents understand what
their children are saying and how it can affect their life. Any suggestions coming from parents can
never be wrong, so teenagers should trust in them as they always want their children to progress in life.
Communication is the best way to bridge the gap and find a perfect solution. Parents should sit
with their children and talk about their needs so that parents know their children’s expectations. Parents
can also listen to their problems and look for a solution which is best for them. Parents mustn’t force
them to do anything without interest but make them aware of their duties so that they do it willingly. As
you are dealing with teenagers, you need to keep yourself in their situation and then think about it.
If parents feel that their children are disrespecting, they then tell that if their children want respect,
they need to give it to other people too. This is a lifetime lesson which they need to learn as it is not
limited to their home but also when they go out and work in any organization.
Children must understand their limitations. If they go beyond that, it will be difficult for them. It is
the duty of the parents that they make their kids understand their limitation and define a boundary for
them. This is done for the benefit of the children so that they know what is right and what is wrong for
them.

Tidy Your Room NOW!
As a psychologist, my view on teenagers’ bedrooms is quite straightforward. Personal space is very
important in adolescence and privacy should be respected. If a teenager has his or her own room, then
this space is for that teenager to arrange as he or she wishes. On no account should parents be tempted
to tidy a teenager’s room. If arguments arise, patience and understanding are required on both sides.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. Let’s take the example of a typical English teenager
called Tim. He and his Mum fell out about the untidy state of his room because they were looking at
the problem from two completely different points of view. This is what Tim had to say:
“Bedrooms are incredibly important when you’re a teenager. Everyone needs space, but at that
time you need it most of all. I don’t mind Mum coming into my room as long as she knocks. The
problem is that she goes round looking for things to put away and saying things like ‘Tidy room, tidy
mind’. I tell her I don’t want a tidy mind. She thinks it’s strange that although I’m hoping to study
Interior Design at college, I don’t seem to bother about my own home at home. But what she fails to
understand is that I like the mess. It’s interesting watching it grow, because it’s full of shapes and
patterns. I like my Mum, but when she goes on at me about tidying my room, I just get more determined
not to do anything about it. My advice to parents would he leave their teenagers’ rooms till they are so
bad that it’s impossible to walk in. Then the kids have to tidy up.”
And of course, Tim is right. In my experience, teenagers left to live in their own mess will
eventually reach the stage where they clean it up. We have to remember that this is an important period
of experimentation for them and they need to make their own decisions about things. Parents’ anxiety
never solves anything during this period and it can actually have the effect of making things worse.
This is what Tim’s Mum had to say:
 “I encouraged Tim to clean up after himself when he was young and he was happy to do it then.
But when he got older, he simply started to refuse. His room became a complete tip. He had lots of
expensive designer clothes all thrown on the floor, along with waste paper, empty cans and leftovers of
food he’d taken up there secretly. When I started being more insistent, I was very shocked by Tim’s
response. He isn’t normally very rebellious but he just exploded, saying it was none of my business
what he did in his room. When I tried to tidy up myself, he just hit the roof, insisting that he wanted it
like it was. After this, my husband, who is also horribly untidy, had a man-to-man chat with Tim about
it. He didn’t get very far but he got a better reaction than me, which was irritating.”
Things are better now for Tim and his Mum, although this is still not a subject which they can
laugh about. Tim is just as messy, and still doesn’t want his Mum cleaning his room. She, however,
came to realize that it was better not to interfere and so she has ignored the problem for the last six
months. Tim, meanwhile, has taken to cleaning his own room once a week. His Mum daren’t ask him
why or say how pleased she is in case he stops. Although it seemed like a big problem at the time, it
looks like Tim and his Mum have found a solution.

Read the passage about the effects of teenage relationships, and then answer the questions.

Teenage relationships
Romantic relationships are a major developmental milestone. They come with all the other
changes going on during adolescence - physical, social and emotional. And they're linked to a
teenager's growing interest in body image and looks, independence and privacy.
Romantic relationships can bring lots of emotional ups and downs for a teenager- and
sometimes for the whole family. The idea that the teenager might have these kinds of feelings can
sometimes be a bit confronting for his or her parents. But these feelings are leading your child towards
a deeper capacity to care, share and develop intimate relationships.
There isn't a ‘right age’ to start having relationships - every child is different. But here are some
averages of when teenage relationships start. From 9-11 years, your child might start to show more
independence from the family and more interest in friends. From 10-14 years, your child might want to
spend more time in mixed gender groups, which might eventually end up in a romantic relationship.
From 15-19 years, romantic relationships can become central to social life. Friendships might become
deeper and more stable.

IV. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:
 
The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in many other
countries the elderly usually live with their children’s family, many older Americans live alone,
without the close companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the
“selfishness” of the younger generation but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to
maintain their independent lives.
 
Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to
be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren, they prefer to continue living in the
surroundings that they are familiar with. This suggests that children should permit their parents to live
alone if they wish to, and should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.
 
Another surprising result of the research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive
influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly people that they live with. It has been
shown that elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats or dogs, live longer, are healthier, and
have better attitudes towards their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
 
16. Many elderly Americans live ……...
A. without satisfaction           B. by themselves
c. a lonely life                          D. a simple life
 
17. What do some people see as the cause of this situation?
A. The society of the USA treats its elderly people as troubles.
B. The young people usually trouble the elderly of their own.
C. The government concerns hardly about the elderly people.
D. The young people are too selfish.
 
18. Many of the elderly Americans want to …...
A. keep living in their well-known places and conditions
B. remain with their grandchildren in their houses
C. remove to their sons’ or daughters’ homes
D. live with their friends in their hometown
 
19. The author advises the young people to …….
A. keep close ties the elderly of their own
B. let the elderly of their families live by themselves
C. respect the wishes of their elderly parents
D. permit their elderly relatives to raise some pets
 
20. The author’s main thought is that ….. .
A. the elderly who care for some pets li ve longer
B. the social practice in the USA makes the elderly live alone
C. the elderly people should have better attitudes towards their lives
D. it is a social tradition that the elderly Americans enjoy the self- directing lives
