Câu 5

1. Today, many teenagers care deeply about their everyday clothes. For them, fashion is not only about showing personal style, but also an important way of fitting in. At school, students often look closely at what classmates are wearing. If someone wears trendy clothes, they usually seem more popular to the rest of the group. Because of this situation, many teenagers feel a heavy pressure to dress in a similar way just to belong.

2. Social media plays a big role in this growing problem. Teenagers frequently see famous influencers and wealthy celebrities showcasing expensive and stylish outfits online. These seemingly perfect appearances encourage young people to imitate them. However, they often forget that most of these beautiful pictures are carefully chosen or heavily edited by professionals. This constant comparison can easily make teenagers feel quite unhappy and dissatisfied with their own clothes and natural appearance.

3. The strong pressure to follow daily fashion trends can cause several serious problems. Some teenagers may spend too much of their pocket money on new clothes just to keep up with the newest styles. Others might feel highly stressed or quickly lose their confidence if they cannot dress exactly like their richer friends. In some situations, this clothing pressure can even negatively affect close relationships with their family, especially when parents cannot afford expensive designer items.

4. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to deal with this daily pressure. Teenagers should always remember that clothes do not show their true personal value. Wearing clean and comfortable clothes is far more important than blindly following fast fashion trends. Schools and parents can also help by teaching students to accept themselves. In the end, being yourself is always much more important than being fashionable.

"TALKING FORESTS" – COMMUNICATION IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS

1. Many people believe that forests are completely quiet places. However, scientists have discovered that trees can actually “talk” to each other in very special ways. They certainly do not use words like humans do, but they share important information to survive and grow. This amazing discovery completely changes how we look at nature around us.

2. One important way trees communicate is through their roots. Under the ground, tree roots are connected by a large network of tiny fungi. [I] This underground system is sometimes called the “wood wide web.” It allows trees to send messages and healthy nutrients to other trees living nearby. For example, when a single tree is sick or very weak, other trees can easily send it extra food through this helpful network.

3. Trees can also send clear warning signals to one another. When hungry insects attack a tree, it can release specific chemicals into the air. Nearby trees quickly receive these invisible chemicals and start to protect themselves. [II] They may produce bitter substances in their green leaves so that the insects do not want to eat them anymore. In this clever way, trees help each other stay safe from danger.

4. Older and larger trees often play a highly important role in the forest ecosystem. [III] They are sometimes called “mother trees.” These trees can carefully support young trees by giving them necessary water and nutrients. This support helps small trees grow well even in difficult conditions, such as in the dark shade of taller trees. [IV]

5. This natural communication system is extremely important for the overall health of the forest. It successfully helps trees survive during times of danger and share valuable resources. Because of this strong connection, forests are not just groups of separate trees standing alone. They are actually connected communities that work together closely. Understanding how trees communicate can help people protect our forests much better. When humans cut down too many trees, we might damage this hidden network. By learning more, we can make wiser decisions to protect our environment.
