I. Read the passage, then answer the questions.
A lot of teenagers take part in clubs in their schools. So what are the benefits of school clubs?
First, when you join a school club you make new friends. You will meet other students who could
potentially become your new close friends. The reason is that clubs have members with something
in common. At club meetings you will spend some time with other members. This will help you
better understand one another and even become friends. In addition, being a club member helps you
learn new skills. By participating in different clubs and working with diverse people, you can
develop such skills as communication, teamwork, and time management. Another benefit of joining
a club is that you can improve yourself. You not only learn more about your area of interest but you
can also become more confident. You will have a chance to work with new people, organize club
activities, and take part in different events. This will make you feel much better about yourself
