Many people all over the world speak English as their second language and it is not too much
to say that it has become an international language.
Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books
and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to
communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that
way.
It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve
your English. In addition, it will bring you a lot of fun and expand your view of the world. If you
make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often, and then
you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the
customs and habits of different cultures.
There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners, because they are not
confident about their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will
get your key words in the sentence and know the whole meaning. Therefore, it is unnecessary to
be afraid; just go ahead.
In brief, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it. |

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不自在) when they are with their parents.
They say that their parents don"t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch
with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom
give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children"s trust and they tend to forget how
they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much
thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult
situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of
their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask
before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and
in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older
people"s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That"s why young people want to
make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or
clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to wha
t you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a
child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents" control.
If you plan to control your life, you"d better win your parents over and try to get them to
understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly
give you the right to do what you want to do. |
1. are to blame(受到责备)for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to

A. Parents

| 3. According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because . |
A. they don"t feel they belong to the world of the older people
B. they do not want to get into trouble
C. they feel they are cleverer than the older people
D. they want to show they have grown up |
| 4. If a young man plans to control his own life, it"s better for him to . |
