3. Lời giải chi tiết

1. 

Student A: Out of these changes, I think freedom and decisions affect teenagers the most. As we grow older, we want more freedom to make our own choices and decide how we want to spend our time.

Student B: I agree. For example, when it comes to freedom, teenagers may want to have more control over their daily schedule, such as deciding when to study or hang out with friends. They also desire the freedom to pursue their own interests and hobbies.

Student A: And when it comes to decisions, teenagers start wanting to make choices for themselves, like deciding what subjects to study, which extracurricular activities to participate in, or even deciding their future career paths.

2.

Student B: I think the advice given by the writer is generally good. It emphasizes maintaining a positive relationship with parents during the challenging teenage years.

Student A: I agree. One piece of advice that stands out to me is letting our parents know that we still love and value them. It's important to express our feelings and appreciation for their support and guidance, even when we may have disagreements.

Student B: Absolutely. Showing gratitude and love helps to strengthen the bond between parents and teenagers, fostering a healthier and more understanding relationship.

Student A: Additionally, the advice about communication is crucial. Keeping open lines of communication with our parents allows us to express our thoughts, concerns, and perspectives, which can lead to better understanding and compromise.

Student B: Definitely. Effective communication helps avoid misunderstandings and allows both parents and teenagers to better understand each other's viewpoints, leading to smoother interactions and problem-solving.
