II. Read the following passage. Match the paragraphs with the headings.
TEENS’ SOURCES OF STRESS
1. In adolescence, teens experience so many physical and psychological
changes that they may not know how to deal with. Many boys feel obsessed with
their voice or appearance. Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces.
2. As teens reach adolescence, they have more friends and come in contact
with many more people. They now have to learn to interact socially and they may
find it is not easy to adjust in the complicated world or to gain social acceptance.
3. Many teenagers start to have emotional feelings for another boy or girl, or
feel the need to be loved. If a teen fails to get love from the one he/she likes or
loves, they may find it is hard to get over the painful experience.
4. Pressures to do well academically can be a source of stress. If teens are
academically strong, they can perform well. If not, they suffer from endless
stress.
5. Being under pressures of a number of things, teenagers become constantly
anxious. If they are unlucky to fail in anything, they may fall into the feeling of
self-doubt and low self-esteem.

II. Read the following text about leisure activities of Vietnamese teenagers.
Match the words in A with their meanings in B.
A recent survey conducted by TIRA, a Vietnamese research company, highlights
problems about the lifestyles of Vietnamese teenagers in urban areas. There is
an imbalance in their consumption of time for studying and recreational activities.
On average, these teenagers spend 9.5 hours a day on studies at school and at
home. They only have about four hours for entertainment. Most of this time is
spent on watching television and the internet, where they chat through social
networks. The teenagers admit that they use computers to play games and to
chat with friends much more than using it for studying purposes. The survey also
shows that during summer months, despite having much more free time than
during school years, these teenagers still fail to manage their time properly. They
stay in bed longer, and then get hooked on games and TV. The time for
computers and TV increases significantly to about five or six hours a day, while
there is almost no time for physical outdoor activities.

Teenagers
Teenagers today are undergoing lots of changes. They are between the ages
of 13 to 19. Many of them are undergoing physical and emotional changes.
These are the stages in teenagers that are unavoidable.
The teenage life is full of happiness, sadness, enjoyment and it can be
interesting too. This is because in teenage life, a teenager is subjected to
physical growth, hormonal changes and even dilemmas. They may be in a
stage of conflict like undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.
Making friends is part and parcel of a teenager's life. The teenager should
enjoy life by making friends with peers and participate in healthy activities such
as camping, picnic, kayaking, swimming and so on. Through friends, a
teenager learns to joke, laugh and play to release stress and tension. By
making friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys and even eases

right side. Their pants have roomy legs and a wide belt. Tay women enjoy
wearing jewellery, particularly silver necklaces and arm and wrist bracelets.
Men’s clothing is similar to that of women.
Like many other Vietnamese ethnic groups, the Tay practice polytheism and
believe that supernatural powers have impacts on their life. Worshipping their
ancestors is the most sacred ritual of the Tay. The ancestral altar is placed in
the center of the house. In front of the altar is a bed on which visitors are not
allowed to sit or lie. The Tay have many taboos, like: people may not step on
the edge of the stove, after attending a funeral people must take a bath before
tending the cattle and poultry, and new mothers are not allowed to stay near
the altar.
The Tay have developed a rich culture of poems, songs, epics, tales, funny
stories, and dance. Popular folk singing genres of the Tay are call-and-
response singing, lullaby, Then, and wedding and funeral singing. It is sung at
events such as worshipping at the ancestral altar, praying for sick people,
praying for a couple to have children, at family get-togethers, to welcome
guests, and at a “going to the field” festival held in the first month of the new
year. It is an indispensable part of the spiritual and religious life of the Tay.
