---THE END---

Read the blog. Choose the best word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) for each numbered space.

I’m often asked why there are nearly always problems between teenagers and their parents. They appear in families
which have never had problems before. There are a number of reasons for this.

Firstly, teenagers need to become independent and start making their own decisions, even if some of them are bad.
They don’t want to ask (25) ________ for every single thing which they want to do on their own.

Secondly, teenagers may not want to wear the clothes or have the hairstyle which their parents prefer. This is because
(26) ________ is important to fit in with a group. Teenagers usually want to be part of the current trend, because they
need to be accepted by their friends.

Problems may appear because parents may not like the way their children start to behave when they become
teenagers. Previously, the child probably did everything he or she was asked immediately. Now, everything is
questioned. Parents should change their (27) ________ as their children reach 13 or 14, giving them more
independence, and continue to remove rules through their teenage years.

From the teenagers’ side, it is important for them to talk about things they are upset at – a decision, for example,
setting a curfew time which they feel is too early. If a teenager starts to (28) ________ the rules of the parents, the
relationship between the two sides will break down. It is better to talk about the issue and explain why it is difficult to
follow a particular rule.
Perhaps I can put the advice to parents and teenagers in just one short sentence. You must (29) ________ each other in
everything you say and do.

25. A. acceptance B. permission C. agreement D. allowance

26. A. view B. looking C. appearance D. sight

27. A. behavior B. action C. personality D. way

28. A. lose B. leave C. forget D. ignore

29. A. admire B. respect C. approve D. require

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

The dustbin is full to the top with coloured plastic. In fact, it is so full that it is difficult to put the lid on. But the
Strauss family, who own this dirty, old dustbin, are very proud of it. Why? Because it contains all the family’s
rubbish for a whole year!

Two years ago, this family read an article about plastic bags and how they cause pollution and harm sea creatures.
They decided to stop using plastic bags completely. Now, when they buy ffood, they reuse their own bags each time.
They recycle as much as they can - glass bottles, paper, cardboard, cans - and they simply do not buy things if they
cannot recycle the packaging.

The family are keeping a record of their lifestyle on their website. They hope that other people will read it and reduce
their waste. If everyone recycled a bit more, it would make the environment better.
