Who should teach teenagers skills?

Ai nên là người dạy kỹ năng cho thanh thiếu niên?

[POINT]Point

I think teenagers should learn skills from several sources because it takes a village to prepare a young person for adulthood.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Parents can provide parental guidance and values, schools can offer structured instruction, and experienced adults can act as role models.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, money habits may come from family, while presentation or teamwork skills may be taught at school.

[EXTEND]Extend

The key is consistency: adults do not need to teach exactly the same things, but their guidance should support responsibility and independence rather than contradict each other constantly.

When do families celebrate together in your country?

Ở nước bạn, các gia đình thường ăn mừng cùng nhau vào khi nào?

[POINT]Point

Families often celebrate together during major holidays, weddings, birthdays and important family milestones.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These special occasions give relatives a reason to get together even when they live in different places or have busy schedules.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, during a major public holiday, several generations may share a meal, visit relatives and spend the day together.

[EXTEND]Extend

Smaller celebrations also matter because regular family contact can strengthen relationships instead of saving every gathering for only the biggest events.

How often do all the generations in a family come together in your country?

Ở nước bạn, các thế hệ trong gia đình thường sum họp với tần suất như thế nào?

[POINT]Point

In many families, all generations come together several times a year rather than every week.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Frequency depends on living distance, work schedules and whether grandparents and adult children live nearby.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a multi-generational family may gather for major holidays, birthdays and a family reunion, while smaller groups meet more often.

[EXTEND]Extend

Even when large gatherings are rare, regular contact by phone or short visits can keep relationships strong between generations.

Why is it that some people might not enjoy attending family occasions?

Tại sao một số người lại không thích tham dự các dịp họp mặt gia đình?

[POINT]Point

Some people may dislike family occasions because they feel more like social obligations than enjoyable events.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Family pressure, old disagreements or a generation gap can make conversations uncomfortable.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a young adult may feel left out if relatives constantly discuss topics they cannot relate to or repeatedly ask personal questions.

[EXTEND]Extend

Family gatherings can be valuable, but people usually enjoy them more when there is mutual respect and less pressure to behave in one particular way.

Part 3Topic 3 - Home & AccommodationEasy-Intermediate

Do you think it is a good thing for parents to help their children with schoolwork?

Bạn có nghĩ việc cha mẹ giúp con cái làm bài tập về nhà là điều tốt không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, parental support with schoolwork can be helpful if parents guide rather than do the work for the child.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Good homework guidance acts as scaffolding: adults lend a hand at difficult points and then gradually step back.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a parent can explain the first example or ask guiding questions instead of writing the answer.

[EXTEND]Extend

If parents step in too much, children may become dependent, so the goal should be understanding and independence rather than perfect homework.
