Exercise 17 - Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Learning The Basics of Essential Life Skills
Living on your own might be something that you dream of achieving some day, but at the same time,
the thought can be scary. You need an income, and then after that you need the survival skills to take care
of yourself without anyone there to support you.
This guide will help prepare you for that transition so that some day you can live independently.
First, create a support network. We need people to be there for us and to also be honest with us and
tell us how we can improve ourselves. Preferably, this network will extend beyond family members and
include at least one close friend that you must. Ultimately, when you are living on your own, you might
encounter many obstacles you have never thought of and you will want someone there to be supportive
of you and to help you as you navigate a life of independence.
Second, master your weaknesses. It is a good idea to try and be aware of your weaknesses. If
possible, have your close friend tell you what they feel are your biggest weaknesses. It is also good to
know your strengths, but it is your weaknesses that you need to work on. For instance, you might get very
focused on playing video games for hours, maybe days at a time. While it is okay to play video games,
playing them for days at a time when trying to live on your own can lead to you losing your job and also
your house. So, it is important that you recognize your weaknesses and do your best to work with them.
Next, learn to balance your schedule. It is important to learn how to do multiple things in a day. You
need to be flexible and willing to schedule time for activities, work, and social engagements.
Then, live a healthy lifestyle. You should exercise and try to eat healthy. You also have to maintain
your hygiene or you might find yourself out of a job.
Last but not least, follow your dreams and make them come true. Look through the newspapers and
online and find that apartment or house that you desire to live in. Decide that you are going to move out
and make it happen. Ultimately, living on your own is something that you have to make happen for
yourself. So, decide that is what you want and don’t allow anything to deter you from your goal.
1. In order to live independently, you should _____.
A. dream of achieving some day
B. need someone to support you in case of emergency
C. not have the scary thought without anyone there to support you

A. we don’t have any family member to trust or rely on
B. it helps us to improve ourselves and get over obstacles
C. we may think of obstacles and we want someone to be supportive of us
D. it can help us navigate a life of independence
3. All of the following are correct about mastering your weaknesses EXCEPT that _____.
A. you should know both your strengths and weaknesses
B. being aware of your weaknesses helps you avoid big mistakes
C. your friends can’t recognize your weaknesses for you
D. you should recognize your weaknesses and get rid of them
4. Learning to balance your schedule helps you _____.
A. complete your tasks at work, home and in society
B. play video games for hours without worrying losing your job
C. be flexible and willing to recognize your weaknesses
D. learn how to do multiple things at work
5. On order to make your dream of living independently come true, you have to _____.
A. find an apartment online for your parents to move out
B. live by yourself instead of living with your parents
C. find yourself out of a job because of maintaining your hygiene
