3. Lời giải chi tiết

- Đáp án: 

1. From child to teenager: This transition typically occurs around the ages of 12-13 and marks the onset of puberty. Teenagers experience physical, emotional, and social changes as they move towards independence and seek to establish their own identity.

2. From teenager to adult: This transition usually occurs between the ages of 18-25 and marks the transition to greater independence and responsibility. Young adults often complete their education, start their careers, and establish their own households during this time.

3. From single to married: This transition involves the decision to form a committed partnership with another person, typically through a legal or religious ceremony. Marriage involves sharing a life with another person and making joint decisions about finances, household responsibilities, and other aspects of daily life.

4. From studying to working: This transition involves leaving the academic world behind and entering the workforce. It typically occurs around the age of 22-25 and involves finding a job or starting a career that is aligned with one's interests, skills, and values.

5. From non-parent to parent: This transition involves the birth or adoption of a child, marking a significant change in lifestyle and priorities. New parents must adjust to the demands of caring for a dependent child, including feeding, diapering, and providing emotional support.

6. From middle age to old age: This transition marks the onset of physical and cognitive decline and typically occurs around the age of 65 or older. Older adults may experience health issues, retirement, and the loss of loved ones, but may also find new meaning and purpose in life through volunteering, hobbies, and relationships with family and friends.
