02 Reading Club
Read the passage.
Peer Pressure
bullying:
someone who hurts or frightens someone else, often over a period of time, and often forcing them to do something that they do not want to do
peer pressure:
the strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to behave as everyone else does
1 What is peer pressure and how does it affect people
2 What suggestions does the writer give to avoid peer pressure
The most important thing is to build up self-confidence, so that it is easier to say “No” to the peer group. Students can do this by choosing their friends wisely: It’s a good idea for teens to surround themselves with positive role models.
Peer pressure can happen when we are influenced to do something we would not usually do because we want to be accepted by our peers.
It can influence how people dress, how they talk, what music they listen to, what attitudes they adopt and how they behave.
Answer the questions below.
3 What attitude does the writer have towards peer pressure How do you know
4 What is your opinion about the writer’s suggestions on how to avoid peer pressure What might be the challenges
The writer thinks that peer pressure is harmful and we should fight peer pressure, because at the end of the text, the writer says that if we give in to peer pressure, the result will be negative. However, if we stop and think about the consequences, we might make a different decision.
I think the ideas the writer suggests are good. We should choose friends who accept us and won’t try to change us. However, sometimes our classmates try to pressure us into doing things and it can be embarrassing to say “No”. And we are afraid that we might be left out and the sense of belonging to our group.

1 Do you agree with the writer’s opinion that attitudes towards introverts and extroverts vary in different cultures Why
2 What might be the reasons that people who live on islands tend to be more introverted
Yes. I agree with the writer’s opinion. Because the environment, for example, the geographical features like an island or a vast country, has influences on people’s lifestyles and certain personality traits are more valued in one culture than in another.
Maybe the people who live on islands are more isolated from other people and cultures. And they depends more on themselves.
