- Read the following passage and choose the correct answers from a, b, c, or d:
In her article The Magic of the Family Meal, Nancy Gibbs discusses the importance of
family meals. In particular, the author argues that they can improve the relations between
parents and their children. Overall, it is possible to agree with this argument; however, one
should bear in mind that family meals bring benefits only in those cases when children sense
that parents genuinely care about them. If this feeling is not present, they are not likely to affect
the wellbeing of families.
Overall, Nancy Gibbs provides convincing evidence that confirms the importance of family
meals. The writer believes that they can be viewed as civilizing moments during which children
learn behavioral norms and values. Moreover, in this way parents can learn more about the
possible problems that children can face in school. So, these experiences can be important for
every member of the family. The main role is that they help to promote communication
between parents and children
Nevertheless, this effect can be achieved provided that parents know what their children
value and what they need. For instance, such meals may not necessarily help families in which
domestic violence takes place very often. Similarly, they will be useless in those cases, when
parents constantly quarrel with one another or vent their spleen on children. Under such
circumstances, children will only avoid family meals in every possible way. This is the main
issue that parents should keep in mind.
So, family meals are important for the socialization of children and their wellbeing. Yet,
they may not bring any improvements if there is certain conflict between parents. So, people
should not assume that such events will automatically help families.

 - Read the following passage and choose the correct answers from a, b, c, or d:
Man is a social being. He lives in society. As a gregarious and social being, he lives and
interacts with so many people all through his life. He can not live alone by himself; otherwise
he would be really depressed and miserable. He is always a part of a family, a team or a group.
Wherever he goes he needs other people to assist, support and accompany him.
In our interactions with people, we make many friends. We enjoy the company of our
friends. Our friends are our support when we are in trouble. They are our family when we are
away from home. They are the reason we do not feel afraid when life burdens us with
responsibilities. People who live without friends will not go far until they realize the have lost a
lot.
We influence our friends, and likewise our friends influence us. Friendships therefore have
a great bearing on our life. That is why we must be choosy when we make friends, because we
want long lasting true friends whom we may trust and who, in turn, can trust us. Friendship
calls for loyalty. If you cannot be loyal to your friends, you will lose them. Friendship is a
mutual relation in which you can not take all the time or give all the time. You should be ready
for help when you are asked, otherwise you won't be listened to in time of distress.
In a real friendship that has matured over time, there are not even any expectations between
two friends. You love your friend whatever may happen, and you love not for any reason or to
get anything in return from your friend. This is the sentiment shared by your friend too. Such a
friendship is a real one and it gives true joy and contentment. Even troubles and miseries that
life may bring seem insignificant when you have such a friendship to bank on.
