Reading

Read the text about staying young. Match the headings (A-G) with the paragraphs (1-5). There are two extra headings.

(Đọc văn bản về việc luôn trẻ trung. Nối các tiêu đề (A-G) với các đoạn văn (1-5). Có hai tiêu đề phụ)

1. ________________

As people grow older, they often think back to the days of their youth. They remember the great friends of those days, great times together, and how bright the future looked. Of course, not everything was perfect — but it can look that way as we get older. And this can make people feel pessimistic and bitter.

2. ________________

It doesn’t need to be that way. There are many secrets to staying young in spirit well into old age. Why put up with feeling miserable when you can be enthusiastic instead? Here are some tips to keep you young at heart as you grow older.

3. ________________

Relationships are extremely important. Family gives you comfort and support, and catching up with old friends can help older people to feel young. Making new friends is important, too - but make sure they are optimistic, enthusiastic people.

4. ________________

Bad things happen to all of us. We split up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, and later we may have to do a boring job for years. But don’t think too much about negative things. Deal with them, and get on with your life.

5. ________________

Always keep special things around you, like family photos or favourite possessions — and be grateful that you can enjoy them. Thank your loved ones daily for sharing your life, too. When you see the pleasure on their faces, you will never feel old - even in your eighties!
