IX Read the text about generation gap quickly and choose the best title for it then choose the best answer for each question

A.Generation Gap Consequences

B.How to Solve Generation Gap Conflicts

C.Causes of Generation Gap

The generation gap refers to the difference in attitudes or behaviour between a younger generation and the olderone In my opinion, different attitudes towards life, different views about certain problems, and a lack ofcommunication can cause a generation gap in most societies

The first factor is that parents and children generally see things from different perspectives Choosing a career is agood example for this Many parents try to impose certain careers they favour on their children, based on theirown perceptions However, young people don’t always understand their parents’ points of views Instead, theyprefer to be free to make their own decisions on their future career

Another factor lies in differences in musical tastes, fashion, and political views between young people and theirparents For example, having a pierced nose might be viewed as fashionable by some teens, but for many parents,

it is considered to be an act of rebellion against social norms Some parents may also find their children’sbehaviour unacceptable and disrespectful to traditional values

The major factor causing the generation gap is the lack of communication between parents and their children.Parents tend to be dominant and not to trust their children to deal with crises Also, they keep talking too muchabout certain problems That is the reason why young people seldom reveal their feelings to their parents Whenfacing problems, young people prefer to seek help from their classmates or friends

The above mentioned factors could lead to a generation gap In order to bridge the gap between the old generationand the younger one, mutual understanding is the vital key The wisest solution would be for parents and theirchildren to treat each other as friends

2.How do young people usually react when their parents impose career choices on them?

A.They want to make their own decisions.

B.They follow their parents’ advice

C.They try to understand their parents’ goodwill

3.What do parents often think about nose piercing?

A.They think that it is acceptable

B.They think that it is fashionable

C.They think that it is against social norms.

4.What do young people often do when they face problems?

A.They share the problems with their parents

B.They ask their classmates or friends for help.

C.They ask their parents for help

5.What would be the best way to narrow the generation gap?

A.Parents and children should try to be friends and understand each other.

B.Parents should be tolerant and let children do what they want

C.Children should follow their parents’ advice

of life skills to stop relying on your parents and older siblings Among those skills, time management is probablythe most important one With good time-management skills, you can build your confidence and self-esteem Theseskills will also help you to perform your daily tasks, including your responsibilities at school and at home If youcan use your time wisely, you will not feel very stressed when exam dates are approaching You can act moreindependently and responsibly, get better grades at school and have more time for your family and friends

Time-management skills are not difficult to develop First, make plans for the things you need to do on a planner

A Better Life for People with Disabilities

By Khai Tam

Teenagers’ Magazine

Last week the Youth Union leaders interviewed some volunteers who have worked with disabled children Theyasked them if attitudes and life for these people have changed Here are some of their responses

'I think there is more support for children with disabilities now,' said Kevin, a grade 11 student 'There are more

special facilities and devices designed to enable people with mobility impairments to travel around There are also

new forms of Assistive Technology that can help people with visual and hearing impairments So, I think disabledpeople can access more places and participate in more activities.'

Hung, the monitor of Class 10A, added, 'Well, in terms of education, there are more special schools for childrenwith disabilities, even in developing countries In addition, there are many schools where disabled and non-

disabled students are educated together This has led to many benefits to both groups and has reduced

discrimination towards people with disabilities.'

When asked about her volunteer experience, Anna from Class 12B said, 'My volunteer experience has enabled me

to understand children with disabilities and the support they need It has also made me more confident and helped

me to realise the difference I can make to other people’s lives I’ve also met a lot of talented people withdisabilities who have fulfilling jobs, live independently and contribute to the community.'

'The most important thing is that society’s attitudes towards people with disabilities have changed,' Annaemphasised 'People can now join or watch events for athletes with disabilities such as the Far East and South

Pacific Games for the Disabled (the FESPIC Games), the Paralympics, or ASEAN Para Games Watching these

events is inspirational as their achievements are amazing.' She really likes the FESPIC Games’ motto:

'Overcoming challenges, inspiring others.'
