All over the country young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report by the housing group, Shelter. Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as 'cardboard city' in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organizations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board for up to ten weeks.’

But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but “throwaways” - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.

Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. It turned out that her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science Advanced Level exams - which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that sciences were unladylike!

Shelter says that the Government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and a cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good reason.

Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are homeless because you don't have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation.

Tạm dịch: Shelter cũng chỉ ra rằng nếu bạn vô gia cư, bạn không thể có việc làm vì nhà tuyển dụng sẽ không thuê ai đó mà không có địa chỉ thường trú; và nếu bạn không thể kiếm được một công việc, bạn vô gia cư vì bạn không có tiền để trả cho chỗ ở.

Dịch bài đọc:

Theo một báo cáo gần đây của nhóm nghiên cứu về dân cư Shelter, những người trẻ tuổi trên tất cả đất nước đang bước vào một thế giới của vô gia cư và nghèo đói. Gần 150.000 thanh niên từ mười sáu đến hai mươi lăm tuổi sẽ trở nên vô gia cư trong năm nay, theo Shelter. Một số người trẻ vô gia cư có thể ngủ ngoài trời ở những nơi như “thành phố bằng bìa cứng” ở London, nơi mọi người ở mọi lứa tuổi ngủ ngoài trời trong ngôi nhà duy nhất của họ - hộp bìa các-tông. Những người khác có thể tìm chỗ ở trong các nhà tạm trú do các tổ chức tình nguyện quản lí hoặc có được một chỗ trong ký túc xá, điều này cho phép họ ở đến mười tuần.

Nhưng những người này là ai? Những người đang tìm kiếm một mái nhà để che nắng che mưa, hầu hết không phải là kẻ chạy trốn mà là “người phải ra đi”, người phải ra khỏi nhà hoặc buộc phải rời đi vì cha mẹ ly hôn, cha mẹ kế không thông cảm hoặc một trong nhiều lý do khác.

Lấy trường hợp của một nữ sinh mười sáu tuổi, Alice. Cô ấy không xuất thân từ một ngôi nhà nghèo khó và vừa trải qua kỳ thi với kết quả tốt. Đội ngũ Shelter gặp cô trong một nhà nghỉ nơi cô đang làm bài tập vật lý. Hóa ra cha mẹ cô đã đuổi cô ra khỏi nhà không vì lý do nào khác là cô muốn làm bài kiểm tra Khoa học Giáo dục Phổ thông Bậc Cao - mà cha mẹ cô đã không cho phép cô làm, họ nói rằng khoa học phù hợp với nữ giới!

Shelter nói rằng luật pháp của Chính phủ không làm gì để giúp những người trẻ này. Giá thuê tăng, sự thiếu hụt nhà ở giá rẻ và cắt giảm lợi ích cho những người trẻ dưới hai mươi lăm tuổi đang gây ra một vấn đề quốc gia, theo Shelter. Những thay đổi gần đây trong luật phúc lợi có nghĩa là một người trong độ tuổi từ mười sáu đến hai mươi lăm tuổi ít hơn người già và họ chỉ có thể yêu cầu trợ giúp của nhà nước nếu họ chứng minh rằng họ rời khỏi nhà vì một lý do chính đáng.

Shelter tin rằng vì những cắt giảm lợi ích lớn đối với những người trẻ tuổi, ngày càng có nhiều người bị buộc phải ngủ trên đường phố. Shelter cũng chỉ ra rằng nếu bạn vô gia cư, bạn không thể có việc làm vì nhà tuyển dụng sẽ không thuê ai đó mà không có địa chỉ thường trú; và nếu bạn không thể kiếm được một công việc, bạn vô gia cư vì bạn không có tiền để trả cho chỗ ở. Đó là một tình huống bất khả kháng

All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report by the housing group, Shelter.

Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only home - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to ten weeks.

But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but “throwaways” — people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.

Take the case of one six teen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science Advanced Level Exams - which her parents refused her permissionjo do, saying that studying sciences was unladylike!

Shelter says that the government’s laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good reason.

Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you are homeless because you don’t have any money to pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation.

According to a recent report by Shelter, it appears that________.

All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report by the housing group, Shelter.

Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only home - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to ten weeks.

But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but “throwaways” — people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.

Take the case of one six teen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science Advanced Level Exams - which her parents refused her permissionjo do, saying that studying sciences was unladylike!

Shelter says that the government’s laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good reason.

Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you are homeless because you don’t have any money to pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation.

Dẫn chứng: “Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only home - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to ten weeks. - Ta thấy chủ ngữ của câu trước là Some of the young homeless - do đó, others - những người khác ở đây cũng là đề chỉ những người trẻ vô gia cư.” .
