SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL CHANGES IN ADOLESCENCE
Adolescence is a time of many changes in a young person’s life. Teenagers begin to discover who they are by trying new styles, hobbies, music, and friendships. However, their choices are often influenced by family, friends, media, and culture. These outside factors shape a teenager’s sense of identity and place in society. At the same time, they may begin to make more decisions on their own.
During this period, teenagers usually want more freedom and responsibility. They want to choose how to spend their time, where to go, and who to be with. In fact, some teenagers start to help more at home or join school groups. However, their brains are still developing, so they sometimes take risks without thinking about the results. These experiences help them learn and grow.
Teenagers also begin to form their own opinions and values. They may start to question things they were taught as children. As a result, their emotions can become stronger, and they might feel more sensitive about how they look. They are still learning to understand feelings and how to make good choices. This can lead to mood changes or quick reactions to problems.
In many cases, teenagers spend more time with friends and less time with family. This can lead to arguments, but it is a normal part of growing up. Fortunately, parents and teachers can help by listening, being patient, and talking openly. These actions can support teenagers as they become confident and responsible adults.

✅ C. Teenagers may act without thinking because their brains are not fully developed. → ✅ Correct paraphrase:
brains are still developing = brains are not fully developed
sometimes take risks without thinking = may act without thinking

A. Fully grown brains stop teenagers from taking risks and considering the results. → ❌ Not paraphrase:
Câu gốc: brains still developing → teenagers take risks
Option: fully grown brains → stop teenagers from taking risks

Câu gốc: sometimes = đôi khi
Option: never = không bao giờ
→ Sai vì phóng đại mức độ và nói brains are developed, ngược với brains are still developing.
D. Teenagers often avoid danger because their brains are still growing gradually. → ❌ Not paraphrase:
Câu gốc: take risks = hành động mạo hiểm
Option: avoid danger = tránh việc nguy hiểm
→ Sai vì đảo nghĩa hành động: câu gốc nói teen chấp nhận rủi ro, option nói teen tránh nguy hiểm.
