Tasks A and B. In some cases, more than one answer may be possible. You may need to change

Bob’s problems began during his 1_______ years. His parents got
2________ when he was young, and neither of them wanted to raise him or his brother
and sister, so he was 3__________ by a 4________ chosen by his parents’
social worker. Unfortunately, his foster-father was a strict 5________ and often beat him.
Bob rebelled against this strict 6_________ , and by the time he was eight, he was already
7_________ , stealing from shops and playing truant. By the time he reached
8_________ , sometime around his thirteenth birthday, he had already appeared in court
several times, charged with 9_________ . The judge blamed his foster parents, explaining
that children needed 10_________ parents and guardians who would look after them
properly. The foster father objected to this, pointing out that Bob’s 11________ - his two
brothers and sister - were 12________ children who behaved at home and worked well at
school.
This has raised some interesting questions about the modern family system. While it is true that parents should not be too 13__________ with children by letting them do what they want when they
want, or be too 14__________ by sheltering (v-che chở, nương nấu) them from the realities of life, it is also true that they should not be too strict. It has also highlighted the disadvantages of the modern
15__________ family where the child has only its mother and father to rely on (or the
16__________ family, in which the mother or father has to struggle particularly hard to support their 17___________ ). In fact, many believe that we should return to traditional family values and the 18__________ family: extensive research has shown that children from these families are generally better behaved and have a better chance of success in later life.
