1. Write an essay (150-180 words ) giving ways to become independent. You can use the following suggestion
as clues.
- Cooking meals for your family.
- Communicating well with people.
- Think carefully before making decisions.

Becoming independent is an important part of growing up. It means being able to take care of yourself and
make your own choices. There are several ways that teenagers can become more independent.

First of all, cooking meals for your family is a great way to become more independent. When you can prepare
food by yourself, you do not need to rely on others. It also teaches you how to manage time, plan ahead, and take
care of yourself and your loved ones.

Secondly, communicating well with people is another important skill. Good communication helps you express
your ideas clearly, ask for help when needed, and solve problems effectively. When you can talk and listen carefully,
you become more confident and responsible in daily life.

managing money wisely is a great start. Teenagers should learn how to plan their spending and save part of their
pocket money. This helps them understand the value of money and how to make good financial decisions.

Another way to become independent is to manage time effectively. Teenagers should learn to make schedules, set
goals, and avoid wasting time. With good time management, they can balance school, hobbies, and rest.

One simple way is going to school by yourself. This helps you learn how to be responsible and manage your
time. When you travel alone, you become more confident and learn to solve problems on your own.

Finally, it is necessary to think carefully before making decisions. Independent people should know how to
consider different options and understand the results of their choices. Making wise decisions helps you build a strong
future and earn the trust of others

In conclusion, becoming independent takes time and effort. By going to school alone, thinking before
deciding, communicating well, using time effectively and managing money wisely teenagers can become more
mature, independent and responsible.
