CPE Reading and Use of English Practice Test 2

Figuring out what teenagers do once the final bell rings is more than just logistical headache for parents; it’s a community-wide puzzle. The 0 ASSUMPTION that they’ll 17 find their own constructive pursuits often crumbles against the reality of boredom and peer pressure. Without appealing alternatives, the pull of mindless hanging around can become 18 . The goal, then, isn’t just to fill time, but to spark genuine curiosity and a sense of 19 somewhere other than a screen or a street corner.

Local clubs and initiatives are absolutely 20 in this, but their success isn’t guaranteed. A programme’s popularity with teens hinges on it feeling authentic, not like a 21 chore. The most common mistake these institutions make is when the activity takes on a 22 tone— young people sense that from a mile away and get immediatelly turned off it. The magic happens when they have a real say—a dose of autonomy that transforms a scheduled activity into their project. This shift is 23 more effective. It builds resilience and practical skills, teaching the normally 24 teens the values of sticking to something. Ultimately, it’s about offering a compelling alternative that actually speaks their language.
