Ella’s Blog
Hi everyone!
Today, I want to talk about a subject that’s very close to my heart - teen problems. Our teen
years are not easy, trust me, I know, I’m 15 years old, and teenagers often experience
problems along the way. I certainly have. It happens to us all and it’s perfectly normal. How
often each one of us 31) _____ ourselves in a difficult situation depends on many things.
Let’s start at school. We worry about how well we do there, and getting along with all our
friends and teachers. That’s not all because we also get stressed over what we plan to do as a
future career. This is a really big decision and sometimes we can get really upset about it and
even 32) _____ sleep.
Then at home, there is the generation gap. It’s common for us to have a family problem from
time to time and for us to argue with our parents about chores or studying. Some teens’
parents even nag them about their attitude and behaviour (and sometimes they’re right!). It’s
very sad, but some teens don't agree with their parents 33) _____ anything and feel like they
can do nothing to improve the situation. But these problems don’t end there. Our teen years
are when we are most likely to have a bad body image and be unhappy with how we 34)
_____ . Some of us compare ourselves to other teens far too much until it gets unhealthy. Are
you experiencing any of these teen problems? Then you are not alone, and you are not 35)
_____. Let’s share our worries and help each other. Leave a comment below.

31. A. find B. finds C. is finding D. are finding

32. A. lose B. losing C. loses D. to lose
33. A. in B. at C. on D. with
34. A. look B. are looking C. seem D. are appearing
35. A. responsible B. powerless C. independent D. reliable

B. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Getting Along

We enjoy being with other people. We like talking, playing and hanging out. However, we
often have arguments and disagreements even with those people closest to us. So, what is the
key to getting along together? Here are a few pieces of advice that may help us all.
First of all, listen to other people. Communication is not just one person talking to someone
else. Communication goes both ways: we talk and then the other person has the opportunity
to talk. Try not to interrupt when people are telling you something. Look them in the eyes and
listen completely to what they say.
Secondly, show interest in other people. It’s okay to talk about our favourite subject,
ourselves, but ask other people questions and be polite enough to give them plenty of time to
answer. Then we can move the conversation around to ourselves. And never forget to respect
others’ opinions even when we disagree with them.
It’s a great idea to find things in common. Do we share hobbies? Do we like the same singers,
bands or films? Are we considering a similar career? Don’t be afraid to be honest. Do we
have the same problems and worries? Sharing this kind of information doesn’t come easily,
but, in making friends and getting along, it can be powerfully effective in starting and
keeping that relationship going.
Remember, though, that it’s not always possible to get along with everyone. There are times
in our lives when we have to get along with people we may not like, such as when we are at
school or work. But that doesn’t mean we can be rude or hurtful. Perhaps the most important
piece of advice is one we hear all the time: treat other people as we want them to treat us.
36. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Arguments don't mean the end of friendships.
B. Everyone enjoys hanging out with friends and family.
C. Human relationships can be difficult sometimes.
D. It's important that we find a way to stop fighting with people close to us.

37. When having a discussion, it’s important to

A. give the other person our opinion of them.
B. give the other person enough time to express themselves.
C. try to include other people in the conversation.
D. argue against points of view you don’t agree with.

38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. It's not possible to avoid arguments.
B. People enjoy getting the chance to talk about themselves.
C. Having the same interests is useful for getting along with someone.
D. It’s important to realise that good friends can have different opinions.

39. What can be inferred from the text?

A. You should accept people for who they are.
B. Disagreeing is a sign that you don't respect the other person.
C. Good friends mustn't keep secrets from each other.
D. You need to behave towards others the same way they behave towards you.

40. Which word is closest in meaning to key in the first paragraph?

A. explanation
B. importance

D. solution

C. Read the following passage. For each of the questions, from 41 to 45 write T if the
statement is TRUE and F if the statement is FALSE.

Hannah’s Blog
Hi everyone! Body image concerns lots of teens – including myself – especially when teens
compare themselves to pictures they see online. A survey by the Mental Health Foundation in
the UK shows that four in ten teens think their body image problems come from looking at
images on social media. A lot of businesses use photographs of tall thin models and
celebrities online. Images such as these are why around 35% of British teens go on diets to
lose weight. From some teens, body image problems can lead to more serious health
conditions. So here are some tips to help you feel better about your body!
Talk it out
When you feel bad about the way you look, share your feelings with your parents or friends.
Poor body image affects the young, the middle-aged and the old. There’s a very good chance
that someone you know feels the same way you do. Another option is to book an appointment
with a professional who can help you deal with your feelings and give you some advice.

Be healthy
The best way to love your body is to take good care of it. A lot of people try missing meals to
lose weight fast, but it often doesn’t work and they end up feeling even worse about their
body. There’s no better way to be healthy than eating well (but not too much!) and exercising
daily.
Be body positive online
Only follow people and businesses on social media who are body positive and post real
images. Also avoid changing your own photographs to make you look like others. That can
make your body image worse and can make others feel bad about themselves, too.

41. Most British teens worry about their appearance because of social media. _____
42. About a third of UK teens aren't happy with their weight. _____
43. The writer says that body image problems are common in all age groups. _____
44. Many people manage to lose weight by eating fewer meals. _____
45. Hannah thinks that changing photographs is a good idea. _____

Audioscript
Interviewer: Hello listeners! Today on Parents Hub, we’re talking to teen psychologist Dr
Jared Cooper. Welcome Dr Cooper. Thanks for joining us.
Dr Cooper: Thank you for having me.
Interviewer: So, in your office, you deal with a lot of teens and their parents. What do you
think is the most common problem that you see?
Dr Cooper: Well, you might be surprised to learn that the biggest problem isn’t stress about
school performance or problems with body image, but actually, relationship problems. And I
don’t mean arguments with their friends and classmates, but with their parents.
Interviewer: Oh really? And what types of things do you think cause this?
Dr Cooper: It’s a mixture of things such as chores, studying, pocket money and spending
time on social media. However, most of these problems come from the generation gap
between teens and their parents.
Interviewer: Really? And why do you think that causes so many arguments?
Dr Cooper: Well, most parents’ experience of being teenagers is very different to how it is
for most teens today. For example, today’s teens don’t know a world without the Internet or
smartphones and having those means they have different opinions that the older generation
don’t always understand.
Interviewer: Ah I see! Is that why a lot of teens find it difficult to follow the rules their
parents set?
Dr Cooper: Exactly! Teens often feel their parents are too strict and parents feel like their
teen is always breaking the rules. But actually, as long as teens can understand why the rules
are there, they are usually happy to follow them.
Interviewer: That makes a lot of sense. So, how can parents and teens learn to understand
one another better?
Dr Cooper: I’d recommend making time to do fun activities together. Parents can chat to
their teens about their interests and opinions and listen to what they have to say. However,
they shouldn’t expect their teens to want to hang out all the time. It’s important that they get
some time alone, too so they can be independent. We, older people, shouldn't forget about our
own teen years. That can help us understand what teens go through and we can try to be more
relaxed about it all.
Interviewer: That sounds like great advice. Thanks, Dr Cooper. Now let’s take some calls
from the parents listening in … [fade]
