VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about.
However, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy
peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is
that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there
are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is
difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, there are fewer shops and
services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a result, you may have to travel a long
way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is often the best place for those who
are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or single people who
have a career are better provided for in the city.

II. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question (1.0 point).
More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the
evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great
advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will
be useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the
job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to
keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the
stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing,
and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High
school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who
enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with
their friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens
might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When
teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to
spend it foolishly.
Which of the following is a good title for the
1.

A. Why teenagers should work
