III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
Family life has been changing across some Southeast Asian countries over the past few decades. Many
years ago, most of teenagers lived with their families, spending several hours at school and the rest of time at
home enjoying family atmosphere. Besides their studying, adolescents could do some housework like doing the
dishes, cooking, taking care of younger children or supporting their family business. These days, studying takes up
such a lot of time that they cannot help much with household chores and sometimes they even hardly have time to
relax. This can lead to suffering worse health and losing the bond with their family.

In families with higher income, parents are often so busy with their work that they send their children to
private boarding schools, and the time these students share with families is shortened more and more. In many
cases, high-schoolers meet their siblings and parents at weekends only. It’s believed that there are some
advantages to live and study in academic places, but other benefits that schools are unlikely to provide should be
taken into consideration. For example, these young learners can learn a lot from their parents about social skills
and doing domestic chores. On one hand, some people think that teenage students prefer to have privacy than to
be controlled by adults, which may be true. On the other hand, nothing can compare or replace the parents’ love in
terms of nurturing their children’s souls and their behaviours. Changes often bring positive results but how people
consider what is important to maintain and preserve is worth thinking again.

A. The negative effect of living away from family.
B. Some changes in family life in Southeast Asian countries.

A. The fact that students do not have time to relax.

C. The fact that students have to spend most of their time studying.
D. The fact that students do too much housework.

A. family chores or parents’ business B. family chores and earn money themselves
C. nothing because they were busy studying D. nothing because they were busy playing
