SECTION B (70 Marks)

3. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Children get a series of personal and social skills as they grow up. Regularly, these skills start developing subconsciously in children as a result of interactions with family and our environments. Then, when they are about the age of five to six years old, they devote more time in school interacting more with teachers and classmates than with their family members.

Their involvement at school starts to have a massive influence on the progress of their life skills. They learn how to play, communicate and cooperate with others. They acquire skills on how to take care of their stuffs and other tasks on their own; yes, they learn to depend on themselves.

While the basics of learning to control their feelings, passions and relationships are developed as children, these relationships become extra diverse and complex as they mature. Their thoughts and emotions also begin to grow while they are not quite conscious of such developments. The continuing development of these personal and interpersonal skills is vital as they move through secondary schools to colleges. Unfortunately, some youths end up growing up without these skills and, as a result, they are at higher risk of experiencing psychological, social and even academic difficulties.
