2. 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 from 26 to 32.
How Teens Can Become Independent
Gaining independence is a crucial part of a teenager’s personal growth. It is not about rejecting help from
others but about developing essential life skills and making responsible choices. Becoming independent allows
young people to build confidence, problem-solving abilities, and resilience, which are all necessary for
adulthood.
One fundamental skill for independence is time management. Teens must learn to prioritize tasks, set goals,
and follow schedules to balance academic responsibilities, social life, and personal interests. Poor time
management often leads to stress and missed opportunities. Financial literacy is another important aspect.
Understanding how to budget, save money, and make informed spending decisions can help teenagers avoid
financial difficulties in the future.
In addition, independent thinking and decision-making are essential. Some teens hesitate to make choices due
to fear of failure, but mistakes are valuable learning experiences. Analyzing past decisions and adjusting
behavior accordingly can strengthen problem-solving skills. Furthermore, effective communication plays a
key role in independence. The ability to express ideas clearly, negotiate solutions, and seek advice when
needed ensures that teenagers can handle challenges in both personal and professional settings.
However, independence does not mean complete isolation. Seeking guidance from parents, teachers, or
mentors can provide valuable insights and prevent poor decision-making. True independence is about
finding a balance between self-reliance and knowing when to ask for support. By developing these skills,
teenagers can successfully transition into responsible, independent adults.
