TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B or C to each of the questions.
Peer pressure, the strong influence from members of the same age group or social group
on others’ psychology, thoughts and behaviour, has remained widespread among teenagers in
recent years. If teenagers are unable to tackle it, they will wilt under the pressure of low self-
esteem and depression. In the digital age, young students are overwhelmed with tremendous
online articles about admirable achievements of ‘someone else’s child’ or ‘a prodigy next door’.
Consequently, reality is replete with teens who seem reserved and like to hide in their own room
for fear of being asked about exam results or tolerating unfavourable comparisons from their
relatives and acquaintances. In addition, many teens nowadays tend to make friends with those
who study well or have good looks, so many young students have to change who they are so as
to fit in with their peers. In other words, weak-minded and average individuals become worn out
in an attempt to get flying colours, look slim and fit as well as possess cool tech gadgets. To
handle negative peer pressure, students need to alter their opinions, care for their own feelings


more than others’ thoughts and trusting in their own abilities. Accepting one’s imperfections is
another way to stop pushing themselves beyond the limits of their mental endurance. Besides, if
teenagers’ parents are one of the factors that make them stressed about peer pressure, they should
spend more time talking frankly with them to get sympathy and mutual understanding.
