2. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. Question 26-32
Being independent is an essential skill that allows people to take control of their lives and make decisions
without relying heavily on others. Independence is not just about living alone; it also involves taking
responsibility for your actions, managing your time, and making informed decisions.
For many young adults, becoming independent starts when they leave home for college or their first job. One
of the biggest challenges is managing finances. Learning how to budget, save money, and avoid unnecessary
spending is key to financial independence. It also involves understanding the value of money and making
conscious decisions about how to spend it.
Another important aspect of independence is time management. When you are independent, you are
responsible for organizing your day, setting priorities, and balancing work or studies with personal activities.
Effective time management skills can help you stay on top of your tasks and reduce stress.
Additionally, emotional independence plays a significant role. Being able to handle emotions and stress
without constantly seeking reassurance from others is vital. Learning how to cope with challenges, face fears,
and make decisions on your own can lead to personal growth and self-confidence.
In conclusion, being independent is about more than just physical distance from others. It is about making
responsible choices, managing your time and finances, and developing emotional strength. By embracing
independence, you can take control of your life and build a brighter future.
