READING

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

Task 2. Listen to the speech about "Healthy Living for Teens" then circle the correct answer A,
B, C or D.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important for teenagers. A balanced diet is key to
ensuring that your body gets the nutrients it needs. This means eating a variety of foods,
including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. It's also important to stay hydrated by
drinking plenty of water and to limit sugary drinks.
Exercise plays a crucial role in staying healthy as well. Teens should aim for at least one hour of
physical activity each day. This can include activities like jogging, biking, or playing sports.
Regular exercise helps keep the body fit and can improve mood and energy levels.
Getting enough sleep is another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Teenagers need about 8-
10 hours of sleep each night to function well during the day. Good sleep helps with concentration
and overall well-being.
Lastly, managing stress is vital for maintaining good health. Finding healthy ways to relax, such
as through hobbies or spending time with friends, can help reduce stress and improve mental
health.
