Advanced: Reading Comprehension
Being responsible is one of the most important requirements for
any person who wants to survive independently in this world. As
children grow, they learn to become more responsible for their own
environment. However, this sense of responsibility comes at
different times for different people.
Some mature early and shoulder responsibilities at a very young
age, while others avoid responsibility until they are forced into it. It
is necessary for you to accept commitments. Everyone should
understand that trust has to be earned; its not something that a
person is entitled to.
One of the first steps toward being responsible is practicing self-
discipline. Do not overindulge in luxuries and pleasures. Remember
that Time and tide wait for none. So, start being responsible from
this moment on, and work to the best of your abilities.
Advanced: Reading Discussion
