Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

How do children socialise with each other?

Trẻ em giao lưu, kết bạn với nhau như thế nào?

[POINT]Point

Children usually socialise through shared activities such as games, classes, sports and group projects.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These activities give them a natural reason to talk, cooperate and discover common interests.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For example, a simple playground game can break the ice between two children who have never met and quickly lead to friendship.

[EXTEND]Extend

Adults can create opportunities, but children also need enough freedom to make friends and solve small social problems without constant intervention.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

Should children rely on their parents or be independent?

Trẻ em nên phụ thuộc vào cha mẹ hay nên sống tự lập?

[POINT]Point

Children need both parental support and age-appropriate independence.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Parents should provide safety and guidance, but children also need chances to make decisions and accept personal responsibility.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A young child might choose what to pack for school, while a teenager could manage part of their study schedule or budget.

[EXTEND]Extend

Too much dependence can reduce confidence, but complete independence too early can be unsafe, so responsibility should increase gradually as the child becomes more capable.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

How can children become more independent?

Làm thế nào để trẻ em có thể trở nên tự lập hơn?

[POINT]Point

Children become more independent when adults give them small responsibilities and allow them to solve manageable problems.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

If parents immediately do everything for a child, the child has fewer chances to develop independent habits.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, children can pack their own school bag, organise homework or figure out how to fix a simple mistake before asking for help.

[EXTEND]Extend

Support should still be available, but stepping in only when necessary helps children build self-confidence and practical decision-making skills.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

What is the effect if parents interfere with children’s life too much?

Tác động của việc cha mẹ can thiệp quá nhiều vào cuộc sống của con cái là gì?

[POINT]Point

Too much parental interference can reduce a child’s confidence and independence.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

If parents control every choice, children may not practise decision-making or learn from small mistakes.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a teenager whose parents choose every subject, activity and friend may become dependent on approval and feel unsure when making choices alone.

[EXTEND]Extend

Parents should still protect children from serious risks, but everyday decisions are important practice for becoming a capable adult.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

How does changing school affect children?

Việc chuyển trường ảnh hưởng đến trẻ em như thế nào?

[POINT]Point

Changing school can be stressful, but it can also give a child a fresh start.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A school transition requires social adjustment because the child must learn new routines, meet teachers and build friendships in a new environment.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Some children may feel lonely at first, while others enjoy the chance to leave old problems behind and meet different people.

[EXTEND]Extend

The effect depends on the child and the support available, so parents and teachers should give them time to settle rather than expect immediate confidence.
