Select the correct answer.
My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher.
But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg."
What is the thesis statement of this passage?
A.
He knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive.
B.
While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher.
C.
Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.

No one wants people to think they aren't cool.

Ответ:
Student A: I believe that an authoritarian leader can be more efficient in his work and can lead the team to success faster than a non-authoritarian leader.
Student B: Why?
Student A: Because a leader who imposes himself and promotes a rigid position and without many friendships manages to impose a strong respect, making everyone talk about his activities without excuse.
Student B: I don't agree with his position. I believe that an authoritarian leader does not promote respect, but fear in his team. Fear is a bad feeling that causes the team to not do quality work, in addition, this type of leader promotes the dissolution of the team, which ends up defeating it.
Student A: What do you suggest, then?
Student B: I suggest a leader who promotes friendship and well-being, allowing a comfortable environment, where everyone can do their best without suffering pressure.
Student A: I think that delays the work.
Student B: On the contrary. This type of leader promotes effective and fluid work, which speeds up the completion of all activities.
Student A: This type of leader does not promote respect in the same way, but promotes admiration.
Student B: But admiration leads to respect and authoritarianism leads to abandonment.
Student A: I believe that you are right on some points, but I am still not convinced, we can meet tomorrow and deepen this discussion.
Student B: Sure.
