Thеу may also worry about their appearance and often feel under enormous pressure to dress, talk and behave the same as others. This phenomenon is called peer pressure, and it is very common in today’s society. Advertising is claimed to contribute a lot to the social pressures teenagers experience.

The tendency to see being young as something better than being old is a cultural phenomenon. But is it always good to be young? And isn't 'young' sometimes 'too young'? When people are young, they are usually energetic and bold: they can work for longer periods of time and they are ready to take risks. As they still haven't had much experience, they don't have many inhibitions, which means that there aren't many things to stand in their way. Young people have also got potential - they still have time to develop in many different ways. Because of that, employing young people can be a good investment. On the other hand, being young doesn't automatically mean you're always happy. There is a lot of competition in society nowadays, which starts even when you're in school. Getting a good education isn't easy and can cost a lot of money. Next, you have to look for a good job. In spite of the fact that so many employers prefer young people, jobs aren't just waiting for you. And even if you find one, it is often only for a very short period of time. Statistics show that the stress of modern life can sometimes bring young people a lot of troubles. Most of them can cope with problems very well, but some others break down and lose all hope. If we don't want this to happen, something must be done. So it is our responsibility to offer help to those to whom being young is definitely too young (Adapted from Exam Activator by Bob Hastings et al.)

Read the following passage and mark the letter А, в, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each ofthe questionsfrom 36 to 42. The word ‘grandparents' is descriptive of the unique dual parenting role that this generation assume. It emphasises the vital part they play in family life. With a wealth of old world experience behind them, and with the unique ability to metamorphose from advisers or mediators into listeners or friends, they can offer support and stability in an ever- changing world. The underlying sense of responsibility that goes with this is tremendous. Grandparents perform a balancing act between the needs of their adult children and those of their grandchildren. This role is varied. It is imperial at times, muted at others. It goes underground whenever required, but it is solid and absolutely dependable. Grandparents often bridge the gap between parents and their children. Rebellious, independent children who are trying to find their feet are almost always at loggerheads with their parents. The role of grandparents can be very important provided they act as impartial judges and are able to convey this feeling to both parties. Grandchildren, in most cases, prefer to listen to their grandparents rather than their parents, who often find themselves up against a brick wall. One important thing, which seems to be missing in the lives of children today, is a sense of family, values, beliefs and principles. This is where the grandparents step in. However, instilling beliefs and values is not as easy as it was fifty or sixty years ago. Then, no questions were asked and there was an implicit sense of trust. With changing times and changing outlooks, children have started to question the validity of everything around them. Globalisation has eroded their sense of belonging and weakened identification with their roots. Science and technology force them to doubt every traditional belief. Parents, who have so many demands on their time, are perhaps not in the best position to instil traditional values in their offspring. Children are very demanding and grandparents, without appearing to be pushy, have both the time and the experience to deal with tantrums. They can appease, soothe and impart values with tremendous ease. Any nation’s traditional culture is rich and varied, but how many children recognise this? Grandparents can teach them to value cultural traditions and thereby inform their moral development.
