D- READING
PARAGRAPH 1 Read the following text carefully
Cashed-up teenagers are letting loose on spending sprees averaging $5000 a year.
Well-meaning mums and dads are showering kids with money and financial freedom, so they
don't go without, experts say. But parents have been warned to ensure teens earn some of their keep
through household chores such as mowing lawns and cleaning, or encourage part-time employment,
to keep greed at bay.
"There should be a small base allowance of about $10 a week. Anything after that should be
earned so they can develop a sense of saving and learn that money doesn't grow on trees,"
psychologist Sally-Anne McCormack said.
Market Research Company TNS's Tru Study found that young consumers have become a
spending force in their own right, shelling out on average $96 a week. Clothes, electronics, and fast-
food swallow the most cash. Parents, part-time jobs, gifts, and allowances are their main income
source.

17
 The report also revealed children are being introduced to the seductive power of plastic from a
tender age, with one in 10 saying they regularly used credit to make purchases.
"Teenagers are receiving money from their parents regularly, enabling them to have constant
buying power," the report states further. Average weekly spending ranged from $56 for 12 and 13-
a) giving a lot b) allowing
year-olds to $192 for 18 and 19-year-olds. One in four aged 16-plus combined study with a part-time

Everyone wants something from teenagers. They try, but it seems never good enough. Teenagers have to
(1) ________________ for school at six in the morning, after a night staying up late doing homework.
Getting ready for school is a daily routine that brings anyone on stress. Teen girls would love go to
school with their hair up in a bun, and in pajamas, but that would only make them feel like an outcast.
Picking out clothes and making their hair “perfect” is surely a stressful way to start the day. (2)
________________ are stressful to begin with. Six and a half hours of teachers bickering and nagging at
students to do things.
Teenagers try to relieve their stress in different ways. They try to run their problems, or
they to shut everyone else out but the stress is always right there waiting for them. Parents bring the teen

on more stress, nagging about chores and work and it only makes things worse. At this point teens just
want to (3) ________________ from everything and anyone.
Facebook is usually a great distraction from everyday issues, but it only brings on more
drama and problems. Teenagers use Facebook as a way to vent their feelings and aggressions towards
other people, which starts a ton of drama. Girls in high school seem to think Facebook is a way to (4)
________________ at other girls for whatever reason. They post mean things and hurtful comments that
start drama and fights.
Not everyone has a stress-free home life, but the six and a half hours teens spend at school
every day shouldn’t be so stressful. If teenagers weren’t so stressed out then, they could certainly
achieve more with their lives. There are ways for teenagers to have a successful day with no stress, but it
requires everyone doing their parts to be stress-free. If everyone had an open mind when they woke up
in the morning then surely their days would start off better. If everyone did their parts to help each other
out and not start drama then teenagers wouldn’t be as stressed out as they are. Teenagers should
continue to find ways to (5) ________________ their stress in healthier ways such as sports and arts.
Finding a hobby will make each and every day better for a teenager.

PARAGRAPH 3
It is that time of the school year again. Particularly for students heading to middle school or high school,
the homework assignments become tougher, workloads get heavier. Students should have good study
habits for a productive school year.

20
First, a planner can help a student keep everything organized and students should write down
assignments, appointments, and to-do lists. Ask him or her to review items in the planner at both the
beginning and end of the day.
Second, students shouldn't have any surprises when it comes to how and what they will be marked on.
By middle school and high school, most teachers will provide a course outline or syllabus, which can
serve as a guide for the semester. The student should feel comfortable approaching teachers with
questions about marking and assignments at any time.
Then, at home, studying in front of the TV won't be the best use of the student's time. Help him or her
by providing a quiet, well-lit space for study time. Next, students need to know when a test will take
place, the types of questions that will be included and the topics that will be covered. From there, your
student should create a study plan and allow sufficient time to prepare for their lessons or tests - there's
nothing worse than cramming the night before an exam.
Last but not least, working in groups can help students when they are struggling to understand a concept
and can enable them to complete assignments more quickly than when working alone. Keep groups
small and structured to ensure the maximum benefit to participants and reduce distractions.
Task 1. What would be a good title for the passage?
