During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to

Câu 5: 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.

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work at school. This is a normal development of this age. Though it can be very hard for parents to understand, it is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually unwilling to talk if they believe that questions are trying to check up on them.

Parents should do their best to talk to their son and daughter about school, work and future plans but should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for danger signs. Some young people in trying to be adult may experience with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and help if neccesary.
