Complete the following passage with the words chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given.

Girls are concerned (6) with being fair, or equal, when they play. As children grow up, their gender will influence (7) their behavior. Language reflects (8) the gender of children, too. Boys usually give commands (9), while girls often make suggestions to show they are not bossy (10).At school boys gain their status (11) through playing sports well and earning (12)high grades. Girls will gain respect by having friends who are popular. Sharing gossip (13) about a friend is one of the ways for girls to emphasize (14) the fact that they belong to the same group. These differences are cultural and seem to be part of growing up in the culture in which they live. Translation
