Task 1 Reading
Read the text below. Match choices (A—H) to (1—5). There are three choices you do not need to use.
As many as 20% of all children attending school are afraid through much of the school day. Some of these
children avoid lunch, recess, and the bathrooms out of fear that they will be humiliated or picked on by
bullies. These are not children who are teased occasionally or who sometimes get into fights with their peers.
These are children who are targeted over and over again. They cannot defend themselves against stronger,
more powerful peers. This power imbalance is the essence of bullying.
1. Confident children are less likely to become victims. Teach your child how to use
«self-talk», which is a silent pep talk one can use when feeling picked on. The child should select something
good about him- or herself and think about that during difficult moments.
2. There is strength in numbers. Tell your child to walk down the hall, into the
lunchroom, or out to recess with others. Bullies will quickly target a child who is alone. Your child should
stay near others even if they are not close friends. Better yet, your child should make close friends and the
children should protect one another.
3. Skills for making friends include how to share, compromise, change the topic to
avoid conflict, apologise when appropriate, and use a diplomatic approach.
5. A submissive or victim stance may attract bullies. Your child should not have an
intimidated, slouched appearance. Encourage your child to stand up straight and hold his or her head high. If
a bully approaches, your child shouldn't freeze. It is best to walk away and join a group of children.
F Encourage friendships
