Bài mẫu:
I am an independent high school student, and I can do lots of things on my own.
Firstly, it is time management skills that help me to perform daily tasks effectively. I can do all the homework and still have some time for myself, and my mother does not have to remind me to complete my schoolwork. I can make my own decision about when to study and relax, so I feel confident and independent.
Secondly, I have general housekeeping skills. I make my bed after getting up everyday. Whenever I have free time, I also help my mother around the house such as cleaning the floor, doing the gardening, or washing dishes. I think it is necessary for me to do housework at this age as it makes me ready for my new school life at the university in the future. In addition, my parents are so pleased to see me being responsible and helpful like that.
Therefore, I think I am self-reliant enough and it will help me a lot in the future.Tôi là một học sinh cấp 3 tự lập vì tôi có thể tự mình làm nhiều việc.
Thứ nhất, chính kỹ năng quản lý thời gian giúp tôi thực hiện các công việc hàng ngày một cách hiệu quả. Tôi có thể làm tất cả các bài tập về nhà và vẫn có thời gian cho bản thân mình, và mẹ tôi không phải nhắc tôi hoàn thành bài tập ở trường. Tôi có thể tự đưa ra quyết định về việc khi nào tôi nên học và khi nào không nên, vì vậy tôi cảm thấy tự tin và độc lập.
Thứ hai, tôi có kỹ năng làm việc nhà. Tôi dọn giường sau khi thức dậy hàng ngày. Bất cứ khi nào có thời gian rảnh, tôi cũng giúp mẹ những việc nhà như lau sàn nhà, làm vườn hay rửa bát. Tôi nghĩ làm việc nhà ở tuổi này là cần thiết cho tôi vì nó giúp tôi sẵn sàng cho cuộc sống đại học trong tương lai. Ngoài ra, bố mẹ tôi rất vui khi thấy tôi có trách nhiệm và hữu ích như thế.
Do vậy, tôi nghĩ rằng tôi đủ tự lập và nó sẽ giúp tôi rất nhiều trong tương lai.

Read the passage and choose the best option to answer to each of the following questions.
One of your most important goals as a parent is to raise children who become independent and self-reliant people. However, some well-intended, but misguided parents have raised contingent children rather than responsible ones. Contingent children are dependent on others for how they feel about themselves. Those children are raised by parents who act on their own needs for power and use control to ensure that they remain the dominant forces in their children’s lives. Independent children differ from contingent children in several ways. If your children are independent, you have provided them with the belief that they are competent and capable of taking care of themselves. You offered them the guidance to find activities that are meaningful and satisfying. You gave your children the freedom to experience life fully and learn its many important lessons. The most important thing about raising independent children is that you understand the essential responsibilities that you and they need to accept. Your responsibilities revolve primarily around providing your children with the opportunity, means, and support to pursue their goals. The psychological means include providing love, guidance, and encouragement in their efforts. The practical means include ensuring that your children have the materials needed, proper instruction, and transportation, as well as other logistical concerns. Your child’s responsibilities Involve doing what is necessary to maximize the opportunities that you give them. These responsibilities include giving their best effort, being responsible and disciplined, staying committed, and giving an achievement opportunity a realistic try, as well as, completing all tasks and exercises, getting the most out of instruction, being cooperative, and expressing appreciation and gratitude for others’ efforts. (Excerpted from Parenting: Raise Independent Children)
1. What is the passage mainly about?
Read the passage and anwer the questions below.
If you are in public or with other friends or family in Japan, your Japanese partner will most likely not show an open display of affection such as hand holding, touching, kissing or verbal expressions of love. It doesn’t mean that the person does not love or care about you. It is a point of respect that people do not show physical expressions of love in the general public or if older people are nearby. At the same time, when you both return to a private residence or location, you might see a different side of that person. That person may be very “loving” in his or her words and actions. This can also be true if you and your significant other travel or live in another country outside of Japan. My friends and I who have dated or married Japanese nationals have found that our Japanese partners (both male and female) tend to show more open affection in locations outside of Japan. However, once they arrive at the airport in Japan, they change to be more reserved and show all the Japanese cultural mannerisms they learned growing up. For many cultures, open displays of affection are considered standard daily practices. However, if you are dating a Japanese person, you will need to understand the difference between public and private locations. Public affection is a common concern among internationals dating Japanese individuals. They don’t understand how Japanese can be so affectionate in private and indifferent when with others. Which can lead to misunderstandings, arguments or even the end of a relationship.
