Luyện đọc: Chủ đề: Becoming independent

However, to live independently, you need a number of life skills in order not to depend on your parents and older brothers or sisters.One of the most important skills is time management which can help you build your confidence and self-esteem. With good time management skills, you can perform your daily tasks, including your responsibilities at school and at home with pleasing results.
