Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Many young people strive to be independent. That means you are able to take care of yourself, and you don't have to rely on anyone else. However, to live independently, you need a number of life skills in order not to depend on your parents and older brothers or sisters. One of the most important skills is time management, which can help you build your confidence and self-esteem. With good time management skills, you can perform your daily tasks, including your responsibilities at school and at home with pleasing results. Moreover, you will not feel stressed when exam dates are approaching. These skills can also help you act more independently and responsibly, get better grades at school and have more time for your family and friends.
Developing time-management skills is not as challenging as you may think. Firstly, make a plan for things you need to do, including appointments and deadlines. Using a diary or apps on mobile devices will remind you of what you need to accomplish and when you need to accomplish it. Secondly, prioritize your activities. You need to decide which tasks are the most urgent and important and then, concentrate on these first. This way, you may not be at a loss to deal with too much work at the same time. Thirdly, develop routines because routines, when established, take less time for you to do your tasks.
Time management skills are not hard to develop; once you master them, you will find out that they are great keys to success and you can become independent.

LISTENING
Part 1:
Today, I want to talk about difficult relationships between teenagers and parents. As a teenager, I feel like my parents often don't (1)____ me. Parents are often strict and set hard (2)____. Because of this, there are a lot of (3)____.
My parents are so old-fashioned that I feel like we are from completely different (4)____! They don't understand anything about (5)____. My mum is worried about me when I go out. She doesn't like my friends. She is always complaining about my clothes. She just doesn't understand the latest fashion trends. My dad complains about why I am not studying more. It makes me so mad! Parents need to be more understanding and listen to what their kids are saying. It's that simple.
I completely agree with you, Melinda, but the way I see it, many young people these days just don't listen and are not very reliable. The Internet makes them feel they know everything and therefore they behave in a difficult way. Many parents feel powerless. I think both teens and parents have to find the time in their busy lives to talk and have fun together. My daughter and I try to do at least one activity a week together. We go skating or biking and afterwards we have a good chat.
