(Text adapted from au/articles/building_a_good_relationship_with_your_family.html/) 7. Read the passage and choose the best answer(A, B, C or D) to each of the following questions. Teenage relationships Romantic relationships are a major developmental milestone. They come with all the other changes going on during adolescence - physical, social and emotional. And they're linked to a teenager's growing interest in body image and looks, independence and privacy. Romantic relationships can bring lots of emotional ups and downs for a teenager- and sometimes for the whole family. The idea that the teenager might have these kinds of feelings can sometimes be a bit confronting for his or her parents. But these feelings are leading your child towards a deeper capacity to care, share and develop intimate relationships. There isn't a ‘right age’ to start having relationships - every child is different. But here are some averages of when teenage relationships start. From 9-11 years, your child might start to show more independence from the family and more interest in friends. From 10-14 years, your child might want to spend more time in mixed gender groups, which might eventually end up in a romantic relationship. From 15-19 years, romantic relationships can become central to social life. Friendships might become deeper and more stable. Many teenagers spend a lot of time thinking and talking about being in a relationship. In these years, teenage relationships might last only a few weeks or months. It's also normal for children to have no interest in romantic relationships until their late teens. Some choose to focus on schoolwork, sport, or other interests. Before starting having relationships, a teenager might have one or more first crushes. An identity crush is when a teenager finds someone he or she admires and wants to be like. A romantic crush is the beginning of romantic feelings. It is about a teenager imagining another person as perfect or ideal, which can tell a lot about what he or she finds attractive in people. Romantic crushes tend not to last very long because ideas of perfection often break down when he or she gets to know the other person better. These intense feelings are real, so it's best to take crushes seriously and not make fun of them. (Text adapted from net. au/articles/relationships_teenagers. html) 1.

Raising Independent Children Independence is not something that children can gain on their own. They have neither the perspective, experience, nor skills to develop independence separately from their parents. Rather, it is a gift that parents give their children that they will adore and benefit from their entire lives. Teach Responsibility One of the parents' important tasks is to teach their children about responsibility. The best way to ensure that parents and children know what responsibilities are appropriate for the children. Make a list with your children of what the responsibilities should be. Next, identify other individuals who will also have responsibilities (and what they are) in the children's achievement activities, such as teachers, instructors, or coaches. There should also be consequences for not fulfilling responsibilities. Demand Accountability The ability of children to hold themselves accountable for their actions is a critical part of becoming independent. However, many parts of Asian culture send a message to children that nothing is their fault. Whether rationalizing bad behaviour, blaming for misfortune, or faulting others for their failures, children are constantly told that they do not need to be responsible for their actions. The reluctance of children to take responsibility for their actions is based on their desire to protect themselves from failure. Children can't take responsibility for their achievements and successes unless they are willing to take responsibility for their mistakes and failures. Encourage Exploration Early in children's lives, parents need to teach their children that they have a safe place to return to if they venture too far and that their parents are there to protect them when needed. There is, however, a fine line between security and dependence. When children have established their sense of security, parents must then encourage them to explore the world beyond the safety net that parents provide. This "push out of the nest" allows their children to test their own capabilities in the "real world" and to find a sense of competence, security, and independence within themselves.

As the parent of three boys (high school, middle school and pre-school), I can say without reservation that I love them equally. Each can be a pain in his own special way, and each is very different from the other. So my relationships with each of them are different, but they all receive love, support and direction. Our two oldest will occasionally complain that we are treating them differently, and we always say that we are: different time, different place and different child. And then we ask if they feel we are treating them unfairly. If the answer to that is yes, then we talk about it. We make no claims to perfection and are willing to admit mistakes to our kids. This is more important as they get older, but it's important when they're young, too. It is also true that each parent has a different relationship with each child, and it takes communication to make sure that there's no resentment between parents as well. Families thrive on communication, even when it's loud. (Text retrieved from Question 33: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that the youngest boy of the family is in .

Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each of the questions. Dating and experience with romance are relatively common - but far from universal - among teens aged 13 to 17. Some 35% of teens have some type of experience in a romantic relationship, a figure that includes current and former daters, as well as those in serious and less-serious relationships. The survey asked about three different categories of romantic relationships and found: § 4% of teens are currently in a relationship they consider to be serious with a boyfriend, girlfriend, or significant other. § 5% of teens are in a current romantic relationship, but do not consider it to be serious. § 16% of teens are not currently dating, but have had some sort of romantic relationship (whether serious or otherwise) in the past. Some 64% of teens indicate that they have never been in a romantic relationship of any kind (and 1% declined to provide their relationship status). The 35% of teens who say they are either currently involved with a romantic partner or have ever dated, hooked up with or had a romantic relationship with someone will serve as the focus of the remainder of this report. When we refer to “teen daters,” “teens with relationship experience” or “teens with dating experience”, we are referring to this roughly one-third of teenagers who are currently in some type of relationship or have been at some point in the past. Age is the primary demographic dividing line when it comes to dating and romance. Teens aged 15 to 17 are around twice as likely as those aged 13 to 14 to have ever had some type of romantic relationship experience (44% vs. 20%). These older teens also are significantly more likely to say they are currently in an active relationship, serious or otherwise (18% vs. 6% of younger teens).
