To bring up children, many qualities are required. Apart from love, patience, and understanding, a sense of humour is important. In fact, it is quite an art to transform a child’s bad mood into behavior everyone in the family can live with. Another aspect of child rearing is teaching children limits and rules so that children are aware of what their rights and what other people’s are, too. Setting limits on must occur on a daily basis because temporary measures will not be effective enough. A common mistake, however, is that parents often become far stricter than necessary. Instead, they must be willing to allow their children the opportunity to explore and learn from experience. Moreover, parents must know the importance of routine as it gets children to become used to certain everyday activities. For example, eating at the same time as their parents gets children into the habit of sitting at a table and teaches them how to conduct themselves properly. Overall, child rearing is certainly a challenge and a learning experience.

When trying to understand our own or other people’s behaviour, we tend to oversimplify things. We use one or two adjectives to sum each other up. For example, we may think of some friends as having a generally hopeful and positive outlook while others are considered pessimistic and negative. Of course, in reality none of us is so easily defined. The truth is that we are all made up of characteristics which are inconsistent and contradictory: we can be serious and reliable with our colleagues at work but we are more unpredictable and emotional with our nearest and dearest at home. With one person we can be very cautious, but with another one, we are adventurous thrill-seekers. So, can people be neatly divided into personality types? Or do we alter our personality according to the differences in our changing moods and situations? Perhaps the idea that personality is fixed is just a meaningless misconception. Maybe we can never truly understand ourselves or other people.

People have been recording information in the form of writing since ancient times. Latin - the language of religion, and French - the language of the rich and powerful, were the preferred languages in the Middle Ages in Europe. Subjects were usually connected to religion, trade and government although historians have also come across love letters which people wrote to stay in touch. After the invention of the printing press, books and documents became readily available. This, together with improvements in education and the spread of postal services, permitted families and friends to convey messages to each other by letters. Maintaining contact was much easier than it had ever been. In recent years, though, everything has changed. Mobile phones, emails and text messages which have been increasingly popular are replacing letters. Why bother writing a letter when you can make a small talk on the phone for very little cost? However, most people would agree that there is something very special about receiving a handwritten letter.

Getting work experience is a good way for young people who are still at school to see whether they would enjoy a particular career.

In addition, they will find these professionals’ advice specially helpful when thinking about the different choices they will have to (28) ____. Work experience often involves uncomfortable situations, (29) ____ people who are in such situations can learn how to behave appropriately in front of clients and how to respond to things in the workplace. Appearance is also important and they need to dress suitably whether they are going for a job as an engineer or an IT specialist, or a job which is perhaps less technical but equally (30) ____, such as medical doctor or a teacher.

Imagine you are buying an apple in a supermarket. Which do you choose, one with a small brown mark, or one without? Be honest – you’d go for the apple which looks perfect. Supermarkets do this too, but on a much larger scale when buying fruit and vegetables from farmers. And what happens of the ones with marks on them? They are thrown away. So are the ones that are a funny shape or size. Another reason for waste is that people buy more food than they can eat and supermarkets do everything they can to encourage this, for example with offers like ‘Buy one, get one free’. Developed countries waste about 650 million tons of food each year and so do developing countries. However, the waste happens for very different reasons. As the world’s population grows, this problem will only worsen, so we need to take action urgently.

Since the invention of the Internet, the world has become a different place. People are sending messages, apparently up to 60 billion a day, and it usually takes only seconds to deliver them. (26) ____ are we now forgetting how to communicate face-to-face? Without a doubt there are (27) _____challenges, but there are also examples of when the Internet has changed someone’s life for the better. Look at Tara Taylor’s case, a mother (28) _____lives in the USA: when she uploaded a photo of her daughter to Facebook, a facefriend (29) _____a problem with one of the child’s eyes, so Tara took her to the doctor. It turned out that the girl had a rare disease, but her sight was saved! The story of communication is, in many (30) _____, the story of the human race: we have always shared knowledge and built relationships, whatever means of communication we use.

And many of them will probably be afraid that their performances will not be as good as their friends’ and may feel worried about being compared negatively to them. They may feel so exhausted by the amount of studying which they need to do. To obtain a good result, they may have to give up many leisure activities such as doing sports and listening to music. Teenagers who suffer from exam stress may show a variety of symptoms including loss of appetite, being unable to sleep and a lack of motivation to study.

They think that this is a better way of assessing students' knowledge and ability in the subjects they are studying.

In many countries, there is a widespread perception that teenagers' lives nowadays are dominated by technology. However, the information (26) _____ was gathered in a recent study of Australian teenagers' use of and attitudes towards technology suggests that this view doesn't reflect the reality of their everyday existence. The research by academics from the University of Canberra in Australia found that, while most teenagers had ready access to home computers, mobile phones and (27) _____ electronic devices, they generally spent more time on traditional (28) _____ such as talking to family and friends, doing homework, and enjoying hobbies and sports than on using technology.

She admits to being very (29) _____ to her smartphone and makes full use of various apps (30) _____ if she needs to unwind after a hard day at school, she tends to 'hang out with my friends, listen to music or chat with my mum and dad'.

Social networking sites are now estimated to have over 700 million users worldwide. As users can create their own profiles, you might expect them to portray themselves in the best possible light. When putting up a profile, it would be (26) _____ for them to present flattering images, choose sophisticated and discerning interests, and carefully express their thoughts to appear more intelligent than in real life. (27) _____, according to a recent study conducted on 250 Facebook users, this is not the case. Far from being idealised versions of themselves, most users' profiles (28) _____ closely to what they are really like and show their true personalities including their both psychological weaknesses and natural physical flaws. It's not entirely clear why online profiles depict users' personalities so accurately.

In many countries going through difficult economic times, job openings for new graduates can be few and far between. In this competitive environment, relevant work experience can help job seekers stand out from the crowd, and many organisations now offer temporary placements, called internships. The problem with numerous internships, however, is that they are unpaid, and this often puts young people off applying for them. Employers and interns sometimes come to mutually beneficial arrangements, however. Dinesh Pathan, applying for an internship with an IT company, negotiated a deal in which he would be given travel expenses only for two weeks, and then, as long as he could show his marketing work was adding value, he would be paid a wage. The arrangement worked well: Dinesh had an incentive to work hard, and he ended up feeling 'not so much an intern as a temporary staffer'. HR consultant Denise Baker says similar arrangements are common. What is more, 'if interns do well, employers would often rather make them full employees than recruit people whom they don't know'.
