Part 1 Reading
1- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

ROBOT FUTURE? NOT SO FAST!

1- Like many people, I think humanlike robots and artificial intelligence (Al) are just
around the corner. Some people think that "Al is going to make us work better, live
longer, and have cleaner energy". I hope they're right, but I'm less optimistic than they
are.

2- On one hand, artificial intelligence is already benefiting society. In late 2020, an Al

was able to suggest how unfamiliar proteins might affect the body. This knowledge will
help scientists better understand new diseases, which often contain unknown proteins,
and develop medicines more effectively and cheaply.

3- On the other hand, the prospect that robots or Al might cause problems for society
has been described in stories for many years. In recent years, it has gone from being
fiction to fact. Many people have lost their jobs to robots and computers. A recent
report suggests that many more people might lose their jobs in the next 10 years.

4- The opposite situation happened in 2019. At the time, a Japanese company owned
a hotel that was run by robots. Unfortunately, they kept making mistakes, such as
waking guests up at night. The company eventually had to "fire" the robots and hire
humans to replace many of them. Waking people up is a minor problem, but I think it's
inevitable that, at some point, a robot or Al will make a major error. And that could
have serious consequences.
5- The famous science-fiction author Isaac Asimov said that "Science gathers
knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." I think Asımov is right. Before we give
control to Al, shouldn't we first develop the wisdom to control our own intelligence?
A) Match the titles to the paragraphs:

Title Paragraph number

It caused harm for some people
Less positive about the future
We should depend on them wisely
Robots failed to replace people
It helped in the field of medicine

3- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The Impact of Robots on Society

1- As robots become more dominant in various industries, they are likely to have a
significant impact on society. This impact will be felt across different sectors and will
bring about both benefits and challenges. In this article, we will explore the issues
surrounding the impact of robots on society.

2- With advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, machines are becoming

increasingly capable of performing tasks that were once done by humans. As a result,
many jobs are at risk of being automated, particularly those that involve repetitive tasks
or manual labor. According to a study by McKinsey Global Institute, up to 800 million
jobs worldwide could be displaced by automation by 2030. While automation can lead
to increased productivity and lower costs for companies, it can also result in significant
job loss.

3- As robots become more dominant in the workplace, human workers may need to
adjust to new ways of working and interacting with machines. Moreover, the increased
use of robots in daily life may lead to changes in how humans relate to each other. For
example, a study by the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany found that people
who interacted with a robot were less likely to help another person in need, compared
to those who did not interact with a robot. This suggests that the presence of robots in
society may lead to changes in how humans perceive and respond to others.

4- As machines become more capable of performing tasks that were once done by
humans, there is a risk that the benefits of automation will be for a small group of
people who own the machines. Moreover, there is a risk that robots and automation
could lead to the concentration of power in the hands of a small group of people. For
example, companies that control the most advanced robots and artificial intelligence
systems may have an unfair advantage over their competitors.
5- In conclusion, the rise of robots and automation is likely to have a significant impact
on society, work, habits of society, and the economy and power are all issues that must
be taken into account as we move forward into a future that is increasingly shaped by
machines.

4- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

1- In our modern world, many people find themselves addicted to a cycle of constant
consumption. As consumers, we are often more concerned with convenience and instant
satisfaction than with the consequences of our choices. It's crucial to become conscious of the
worth of our actions, particularly when it comes to environmental impact. For instance, the
material used in the products we buy and their packaging plays a significant role in the amount
of waste we generate.

2- Every time we purchase something, we have the opportunity to make a responsible choice.
Instead of opting for products with excessive or non-recyclable packaging, we can choose
items that are environmentally friendly and easy to recycle. This not only helps reduce waste
but also supports companies that prioritize sustainability. Investing in such products might
sometimes come at a higher cost, but it's worth it in the long run.
3- The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. Our planet is facing significant
environmental challenges, and reducing waste is a critical part of the solution. By being more
mindful of our consumption habits and the materials we choose, we can contribute to a more
sustainable future. Recycling, reducing waste, and supporting eco-friendly products are small
steps that, collectively, make a big difference. Let's be conscious consumers and invest in a
healthier planet for future generations.

5- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Plastic pollution
1- Plastic pollution is a significant issue in our world today. A simple plastic container can take
hundreds of years to break down. Many organizations are taking the initiative to reduce
plastic waste. This involves creating policies and encouraging people to use less plastic.

2- One of the highlights of these efforts is the promotion of recycling. Recycling helps reduce
the amount of new plastic we need to make. Manufacturers produce plastics in large
quantities. These factories produce items in large quantities to meet demand. Mass
production makes it easy and cheap to create plastic goods. However, it also leads to a lot of
waste.

3- Much of this plastic waste ends up being trapped in our environment. Oceans and rivers
are particularly affected by this pollution. Plastic pollution is widespread and affects many
areas of the world. From beaches to cities, plastic can be found almost everywhere. When
people throw away plastic carelessly, it litters parks, streets, and waterways. This litter
harms wildlife and pollutes natural spaces.

4- To tackle this problem, we need to invest in sustainable products. Using items that can be
reused or easily recycled is crucial. Importing eco-friendly materials and products is also
important. By choosing greener options, we can help reduce the impact of plastic pollution.
A) Match the words with the correct meaning:
container - highlights – mass production - widespread - invest

Word Meaning
1 existing or happening in many places or among many people
2 a hollow object, such as a box or a bottle, that can be used for holding something
3 to buy something that you think will go up in value.
4 the best, most important, or most interesting part.
5 the process of producing a lot of goods.
B) Match the words with the correct meaning:
initiative - manufacturer - trapped - litter - import

Word Meaning
1 to buy or bring in products from another country
2 small pieces of rubbish that have been left lying on the ground in public places
3 a new plan or process to achieve something or solve a problem.
4 to be kept in a place.

6- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Green technologies
1- Technological advances have allowed us to access more resources and improve our
quality of life. On the other hand, it has also led to environmental degradation due to
pollution, overconsumption of resources and climate change. A new concept has
emerged recently: green technologies, and they have become increasingly important in
our lives because of their rapid growth and above all because of the revolution they bring
to the way we interact with the environment.
2-These green technologies aim to provide sustainable solutions to specific and general
problems. With a focus on nature, they assist in the transition to a more sustainable future,
providing the ability to reduce fossil fuel consumption, and promote cleaner air and water
quality. Green technologies are increasingly important in the fight against climate change
and environmental degradation, but there are many barriers such as the cost of
implementation, lack of infrastructure and limited access to resources.
3- We can all participate in this model shift by taking different actions such as educating
and training ourselves, or by encouraging and supporting initiatives related to the
implementation of these technologies. One area where we can all collaborate is in waste
management. For its part, AI can improve waste management by sorting and optimising
collection and recycling. It can also help design products and materials that are easier to
recycle or have a lower environmental impact.
4- Another area where we can all help is in reusing and donating old electronics, as around
50 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste is produced every year. Managing and
reducing energy consumption leads to a digital transformation that is already being
implemented in many companies, adapting ways of working. One of the main examples is
the digitisation of internal processes, which enables a more efficient workflow and
reduces paper consumption.
5- Technology can become one of the most important tools for environmental protection.
Advances allow for more knowledge, both technical and scientific, about natural resources.
We must move towards sustainable development, it is in our hands to act, educate
ourselves and become aware of the importance and role we have with the planet.

A) Answer the following questions:

1- What troubles did Technological advances cause to us?

7- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

How some countries fight plastic waste

Bahrain
In June 2019, a governmental order to regulate and phase out the use of plastic bags was
announced across the Kingdom and the region. The order also aims to ban the import of
bags that are non-biodegradable, and future phases will include a permanent ban on the
use of plastic bags at certain malls and supermarkets.
Mexico
Mexico City has launched an initiative focused on reducing waste through the promotion
of a social culture focused on waste separation and proper disposal at transfer stations.
Mexico City has also banned the marketing, distribution, and delivery of single-use plastics.
Other states in Mexico are starting to implement this same initiative such as Quintana Roo.
Spain
Spain is instituting a fee on single-use plastic containers and another fee for depositing
landfill waste and burning. This law has to help Spain to correct the course in the
management of its waste. The marketing of certain single-use plastic tools such as straws,
glasses and plates will be banned, and the addition of microplastics to cosmetics or
cleaning products will be prohibited.
United States
Last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shared its National Recycling Strategy,
with the goal to increase the recycling rate to 50% by 2030. Additionally, the Department
of Energy launched the Plastics Innovation Challenge in 2018 to coordinate initiatives on
plastic recycling, degradation, upcycling, and design for circularity. The goals of this
program are to develop solutions that deliver greater than 50% energy savings, address
greater than 90% of plastics, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50%.

Egypt
Egypt has launched several social enterprises to tackle plastic pollution. Banlastic delivers
workshops, training, beach clean-ups, and various environmental events as a way of
offering alternatives to single-use plastic. So far, they have collected over 2000 kgs of
plastic waste. Egypt’s Minister of Environment, Yasmine Fouad, announced a partnership
with Banlastic to reduce plastic waste across Egypt’s coastal regions in cooperation with
the World Bank in March 2021.

8- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

1- In today's competitive market, how a company chooses to run a business can significantly
influence its success and reputation. Companies that have a mission beyond just making a
profit often find that they can build strong customer loyalty. This loyalty stems from
consumers' appreciation of businesses that prioritize social and environmental
responsibilities, leading to long-term relationships and repeat business.
2- For a business model to be viable and financially sustainable, it must balance its expenses
and income effectively. Offering products or services at a competitive market rate is crucial to
attract customers while ensuring enough profit to cover costs and reinvest in the business.
Identifying barriers to success and transforming them into opportunities can enable
companies to stay ahead of the competition.
3- One way businesses can positively influence their reputation is by engaging in volunteer
work. This not only helps raise awareness of important social issues but also demonstrates
the company's commitment to the community. Employees who participate in volunteer
activities often report higher job satisfaction and improved job prospects, as their work is seen
as more meaningful and productive.
4- Moreover, companies that genuinely care about their employees' job prospects tend to
have a more motivated and loyal workforce. This, in turn, can enhance the overall customer
experience, as satisfied employees are more likely to provide excellent service. By supporting
charity, businesses can also improve their public image and foster a sense of goodwill among
customers and employees alike.
5- While the primary goal of any business is to make a profit, doing so at the expense of ethics
and sustainability can be negative in the long term. By adopting a business model that includes
social responsibility, companies can achieve financial sustainability and build lasting customer
loyalty. In an era where consumers are more informed and selective about the companies they
support, having a mission that aligns with their values can set a business apart from its
competitors and ensure its long-term success. By making products affordable and accessible,

9- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Characteristics of a buyer
Certain attributes can make a person an exceptionally good buyer. Her are some skills of
a good buyer:

1- The first thing that a buyer needs is an understanding of their industry. This means they
should know the types of products that are available and the price they usually sell at, as
well as their target customer’s preferences. Without this information, you run the risk of
purchasing stock that does not sell, or reducing your profit margin by paying too much
per unit.

2- Another one of the most important characteristics of a buyer is organisation. Going into
any meeting prepared is key to having a positive outcome. This means that a buyer should
always do their research, taking time to determine their priorities, as well as getting to
know the products that they want to buy, the manufacturer or supplier that they are
speaking with and having an awareness of their room for negotiation. Bring any
documents and research with you if you are meeting a supplier in person, or have them
to hand if you are speaking remotely.

3- Having the ability to build rapport can have a significant impact when it comes to
sourcing in-demand stock and negotiating a good price. Being able to build relationships
with sellers is an important skill to have.

4- Being able to share your passion for the products you are sourcing can help to impress
sellers. Making it clear that you have done your research within your chosen market will
also prevent them from suggesting any unreasonable prices.
5- We will now take a look at the various buyer roles and responsibilities that help them
to make the right purchase decisions. By understanding the different buyer roles and
responsibilities, you can be confident in your ability to source products and negotiate to
get the best merchandise for your business.

6- The job of a buyer begins with choosing brands or suppliers to do work with, and if
you’re employed by a company working on a global scale. Whilst choosing distributors
that remove the frustrations of dealing with brands across borders is a simple way around
this problem, the chances are you will eventually bump into some international barriers.

10- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Types of personality
1- Personality disorders are permanent patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner
experience that deviate from the expectations of an individual's culture. They are grouped
into three main clusters based on similar characteristics: Cluster A, Cluster B, and Cluster
C.
2- Cluster A personality disorders are characterized by odd or eccentric behaviors. This
cluster includes Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal Personality Disorders. Individuals with
these disorders often show social withdrawal, distrust, and unusual thinking patterns. For
example, someone with Paranoid Personality Disorder might be excessively suspicious of
others, interpreting gentle actions as hateful. Schizoid individuals tend to be detached
from social relationships, while those with Schizotypal Personality Disorder may have odd
beliefs or behaviors, often leading them to social awkwardness.
3- Cluster B personality disorders are defined by dramatic, emotional, or changeable
behavior. This group includes antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality
disorders. People with Cluster B disorders often struggle with control and emotional
regulation. For instance, Borderline Personality Disorder is marked by unstable moods,
relationships, and self-image, leading to intense emotional outbursts and fear of neglect.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder involves a magnificent sense of self-importance and a
need for excessive admiration, while Histrionic Personality Disorder features a pattern of
excessive attention-seeking behaviors.

4- Cluster C personality disorders are associated with anxious and fearful behavior. This
cluster includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders.
Individuals with Cluster C disorders often experience chronic feelings of inadequacy, fear
of criticism, or an overwhelming need for orderliness. For example, someone with Avoidant
Personality Disorder might avoid social situations due to extreme sensitivity to rejection,
while those with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder may have a concern with
perfectionism, leading to significant distress when their standards are not met.
5- Understanding these clusters provides insight into the complexity of personality
disorders, highlighting the diverse ways in which they can impact an individual's life.

11- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Emotional Intelligence
1- Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and
influence emotions, both in oneself and in others. It plays a critical role in personal and
professional success, often surpassing the importance of traditional cognitive
intelligence (IQ) in determining how effectively individuals navigate their lives.
2- At the core of emotional intelligence are four key components: self-awareness, self-
regulation, social awareness, and relationship management. Self-awareness involves
recognizing one’s own emotions and understanding how they influence thoughts and
behavior. This awareness allows individuals to identify emotional causes and make
conscious decisions rather than reacting spontaneously. For example, persons with high
self-awareness might recognize that they feel anxious before a big presentation and take
steps to calm their nerves, such as practicing deep breathing or preparing thoroughly.

3- Self-regulation is the ability to manage one's emotions in a healthy way. This includes
controlling impulsive feelings and behaviors, managing stress, and adapting to
changing circumstances. Someone with strong self-regulation skills can remain calm
under pressure and maintain a positive outlook, even in challenging situations. This
ability to regulate emotions contributes to resilience and a more stable emotional state.
4- Social awareness, another aspect of EI, involves the capacity to understand and
empathize with the emotions of others. It is the foundation of effective communication
and interpersonal relationships. People with high social awareness can pick up on social
cues, understand the emotional dynamics within a group, and respond sympathetically.
This skill is essential for building strong connections and fostering collaboration.
5- Finally, relationship management refers to the ability to influence, inspire, and work
well with others. It includes skills like conflict resolution, effective communication, and
leadership. Those with high emotional intelligence can navigate social complexities,
build and maintain healthy relationships, and lead teams with empathy and
understanding.
6- In essence, emotional intelligence is a vital component of success in both personal
and professional realms, enabling individuals to navigate the complexities of human
emotions with greater ease and effectiveness.

12- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Taking decision
1- Making the right decision requires a combination of key factors that enable individuals
to evaluate their options carefully and choose the best course of action. These factors
include clear goals, accurate information, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and the
courage to act.
2- First and foremost, having clear goals is essential. Knowing what you want to achieve
provides direction and helps you stay focused on what matters most. Without a clear
understanding of your objectives, it’s easy to get lost in the myriads of choices available.
Clear goals act as a compass, guiding you toward decisions that align with your long-term
vision.
3- Accurate information is another crucial component. Good decisions are based on facts,
not assumptions or incomplete data. Taking the time to gather and verify relevant
information allows you to weigh the pros and cons of each option effectively. This includes
understanding the potential outcomes, risks, and benefits associated with each choice. The
more informed you are, the better equipped you’ll be to make a decision that serves your
interests.
4- Critical thinking is the ability to analyze information logically and objectively. It involves
questioning assumptions, considering alternative perspectives, and evaluating the
evidence before making a choice. Critical thinking prevents you from jumping to
conclusions or being swayed by biases, helping you make more rational and well-
considered decisions.
5- Emotional intelligence plays a significant role in decision-making as well. Being aware
of your emotions and how they influence your choices can prevent impulsive decisions
driven by stress, fear, or excitement. It also helps in understanding the emotional impact
of your decisions on others, fostering empathy and better interpersonal outcomes.
6- Finally, the courage to act is essential. Even with all the information and analysis, making
a decision often requires stepping into the unknown. The right decision may involve taking
risks or facing uncertainty, but having the courage to move forward despite these
challenges is what ultimately leads to progress and growth.

7- In summary, making the right decision involves a combination of clear goals, accurate
information, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and the courage to act. When these
elements come together, they provide a solid foundation for making choices that are not
only effective but also aligned with your values and long-term aspirations.

13- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Every Big 4 Personality Type, Explained

Openness
People who test high in this category are curious, creative, and open to new ideas, says
Lee Phillips, EdD, a psychotherapist and therapist. "Low scores indicate the person prefers
routine, is unimaginative, and is not a fan of change," he adds. Emotional stability plays a
big role in determining someone's openness score; this is understood as an individual's
ability to resist negative emotional states, such as fear, anger, irritation, or guilt. "People
who are less open experience more isolation and sadness," Phillips says.

Conscientiousness
High scorers under the conscientiousness banner are competent, organized, dutiful, goal-
oriented, self-disciplined, and deliberate, says Phillips. The conscientiousness personality
trait also indicates will power: Conscientious people are often able to delay satisfaction,
consider consequences before acting, and are organized and meticulous while working,
says de la Rosa. "Those that score high in conscientiousness may spend more time
preparing for things, pay close attention to detail, and enjoy a set schedule," he says.
Conversely, those who score low on conscientiousness may dislike structure and schedules
and may postpone on important tasks, says de la Rosa.

Extroversion
As the name implies, those who score high under the extroversion category are likely
sociable and energized by the company of others; they also enjoy being the center of
attention, says Phillips. Extroversion is associated with talkativeness, assertiveness, and
high amounts of emotional expression, adds de la Rosa. "Those who score high in
extroversion may like to start conversations, and enjoy meeting new people," he says.
Those who score low in this trait may dislike being the center of attention—and could
feel especially exhausted or stressed before, during, or after socializing.
Agreeableness
Those who rank high in the area of agreeableness are trusting, forgiving, and
straightforward. These individuals tend to enjoy helping others and possess empathy and
sympathy, says Phillips. Social harmony is a big determining factor here. "This trait looks
at how well the individual interacts with others or a team and measures how cooperative
and doubtful they are," adds Phillips, noting this category is packed with people who enjoy
volunteering or hold jobs that involve helping others.

14-Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Actors Who Put the Method in Method Acting

Al Pacino
The legendary Alfredo James Pacino is one of the famous, renowned method actors.
With a 56-year-long career and known for being in widely popular features like
Scarface, Heat, and The Godfather. Pacino's face and talents are known in every corner
of the world. The resourceful Hollywood star is, without a doubt, among the most
talented of his generation and he also resorts to the technique now and again.
According to Far Out Magazine, Pacino looks back at his career with feelings of regret,
for lack of a better term, regarding the roles he didn't take and shouldn't have taken.
In the article, it is also revealed that the star was admitted to the Actors Studio in his
earlier career, where he learned method acting under Lee Strasberg.
Robert De Niro
A student of both the Stella Adler Conservatory and Lee Strasberg’s Actors Studio,
veteran actor Robert De Niro is, by rights, arguably the most recognized practitioner
of method acting in Hollywood. To make this case, we can naturally point to two of his
most culturally prominent roles, that of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver and Jake LaMotta in
Raging Bull. Both roles, incidentally, were performed under the instruction of the great
Martin Scorsese, De Niro’s close friend and most recognized collaborator. The
esteemed actor’s vast success in the cinematic industry can be attributed to this reliance
on the process of method acting. For his role as the mentally unstable veteran Bickle,
De Niro obtained a cab license in order to study the behavior of cab drivers, lost 30
pounds in weight, and engaged in firearm training to lend authenticity to his
character’s violent tendencies (via Far Out Magazine).
Joaquin Phoenix
The undoubtedly talented star, who was homeschooled for some of high school but
ended up dropping out, is known for playing unconventional and challenging
characters, having earned his first and very much deserved Academy Award in 2020.
Evidently, Beau is Afraid wasn't the only Joaquin Phoenix role in which the actor
resorted to method acting techniques. According to AP, Phoenix lost a wild amount of
fifty-two pounds to film Joker, which eventually took a serious toll on his mental health.
"Once you reach the target weight, everything changes. Like so much of what’s difficult
is waking up every day and being obsessed over like 0.3 pounds. Right? And you really
develop like a disorder," the actor said.

15-Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Celebrity vs. Charisma: What’s the Difference?

1- Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, and Mick Jagger are some of the well-known people who
are labeled “charismatic” by much of the public. They seem to have that special gift that
draws people to them, and keeps them in the public eye. But do they truly possess
charisma, or is it simply that they are popular, attractive, and lead interesting lives?

2- As one of a small group of social scientists that have studied personal charisma, I can
tell you that charisma and celebrity are not the same, although they are often confused.
For some individuals, however, charisma and celebrity go hand-in-hand.

3- The earliest discussion of charisma was by German sociologist, Max Weber, who
discussed the charisma of leaders. He asserted that in times of need a person with “special
qualities” can arise on the scene and people are captivated by the person and willingly
follow. He is talking about both charisma (the “special qualities”) and a sort of celebrity
that captivates the followers. But the celebrity is a social construction: It is what the
followers essentially create for the leader. In the same way, the public “creates” celebrities,
but only some celebrities are truly charismatic.

4- The “special qualities” of truly charismatic individuals are sophisticated social and
emotional skills that allow the charismatic person to engage others in a deep, and often
meaningful, way. When someone meets a truly charismatic person, such as a Bill Clinton
or Oprah Winfrey, there is a feeling that a “connection” is made. People often say, he/she
“made me feel like I was the only person in the room.”

5- What are these special skills? First, the ability to express felt emotions to others in a
genuine way. Second, the ability to “read” emotional signals in others and respond to
them. Third, a skill in controlling the emotional tone of the interaction. Fourth, a
sophisticated self-presentation and understanding of social situations that we are calling
“savoir-faire.”

6- It is important to emphasize that charisma isn’t limited to celebrities and politicians. In

all likelihood, you have one or several friends who are charismatic: they are able to “light
up the room” when they enter. They make people feel good and good about themselves.

7- So, the difference between celebrities and true charismatics is that when we meet the non-
charismatic celebrities there is a sense of disappointment. The veil of celebrity is lifted, and
you realize that the person is nothing special.

16- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Are female teachers better than male?

1- Women or men, who are better? Is it possible to judge just on the basis of their gender?
The answer is NO. It is wrong to consider professionals better just on the basis of their
gender. For many decades now, women take up teaching as a profession. Teaching is
about imparting knowledge in the best way possible. Students should enjoy the way
teachers teach.

2- There is an assumption that female teachers are better teachers. They teach with depth
and clears concepts. Most of us believe them to be calm and cool by nature. They can deal
with patience with the students. Students feel comfortable when the teacher is female. To
some extent if we can believe that females don’t lose temper that easily but again, it cannot
be generalized. It is found that most females love teaching and they are into the profession
mostly by choice. Females are expressive hence they show their likes and dislikes easily.
The most appreciable characteristic of a female is that they are multi-tasking. They can
handle the class, teach, pay attention to each one, care, and understand the students.

3- We often relate male teachers with strictness. We have a feeling that they are not so
cool teachers. Male teachers easily get nasty in the class. They cannot tolerate any obvious
misbehavior but then they react strongly at that moment. Students may not be
comfortable having a male teacher around. They don’t have ‘LET GO’ attitude in them.
Their degree of severity in giving punishment is higher. Nowadays the attitude of male
teachers is becoming easy-going and cool. They don’t get easily annoyed. At times they
do get friendly with students and allow them better learning scopes. Most of the male
teachers don't lose their temper easily and they try their best to cope with student’s
behavior unless it is beyond the limit.
4- After all, let’s come back to our point. Does gender play a role in becoming a better
teacher? We believe what plays a major role in becoming a better teacher is their
experience. A teacher that has dedicated his/her life in teaching a subject has learned much
from it. Another necessary factor that holds importance is the willingness to teach. It is
possible that in the beginning, teaching was fun and exciting. Gradually with the time
passing by, it may become boring. So when teaching becomes just a profession to a
teacher, it is that point when they become inefficient teachers, so men or women, we
cannot give judgment on that criterion. All that matters as a teacher is bonding with the
students.

17-Read the passage and answer the following questions:

What Kind of Traveller Are You?

The Holiday Makers
Typically found travelling around their mutually agreed work holiday schedules, these
travellers tend not to be too worried about the destination as long as it’s different from
their norm. They try to get away at least twice a year for long, permissive holidays. They
see travel as an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone – having a fun time while still
getting to find new travel destinations.
Functional Traveller
The archetypal Functional Traveller is your business traveller. Travel is a necessary means
to an end and not an aim in itself. They may sometimes get to fully immerse themselves
in travel but on the whole, are typically either too consumed with their task/business/mail
goal or too tired to really get the most out of the destinations they’re visiting.
The Backpackers
They quite literally travel far and travel light. They refused to be burdened with convention
and rules and indulge themselves in every opportunity available. A change to go skinny
dipping at midnight? They hate sticking to any convention and like to be seen more as
free spirits, they’re very easily identified by the tool that gives them the flexibility while
providing them with their daily comforts – their backpacks!
The Thrill Seekers
Travel far and wide to find the world’s highest bungee jump, the world’s tallest mountain
which they then proceed to climb and pretty much anything extreme and perhaps
previously unheard off. You will not find these people on a beach in St Barths or checking
out the infinity pool at the hotel.
The Gap Yearers:
This group is filled with not just backpackers but people who decide to head off to a new
destination with the intention of staying for a long period of time. They are more defined
by their plan to spend as much time away from their home as possible and less concerned
about how this happens – backpack or fully packed suitcase, doesn’t matter – as long as
they’re experiencing something entirely different and perhaps even learning a new
language at the same time too!
The Frequent Weekenders
They rebel the rules of “The Holiday Makers” and go away at every single opportunity
available (which typically presents itself outside of the working week). They are financial
stable and understand that the price they pay for this financial stability is that they can
only truly indulge their passion for travel on weekends and bank holidays. They still get to
see as much of the world as they want and aim to make every moment count!

18-Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Modern explorers you need to know

Leo Houlding
Many claim Leo Houlding is the face of modern British exploration. He began rock
climbing at the age of 10, moving his home base to Llanberis in North Wales to
eventually become the British Junior Indoor Climbing champion. In 2013, Houlding led
an expedition up Ulvetanna Peak in Antarctica, where his crew established a new route
on the northeast edge, and he recently completed his latest project, trekking 1,600km
to summit Antarctica's Sceptre, the most remote mountain in the world.
Brian Kakuk
Underwater cave explorer Brian Kakuk is an unassuming presence in the diving
community, but logs some of the world's most impressive excursions. From his home
base in the Bahamas, Kakuk explores shipwrecks and discovers fossilized animal
remains in long-forgotten caves, but his true passion lies in mapping the stony, vast
tunnels of the Bahamas' multitude of blue holes. Diving through spaces as deep as 103
m, Kakuk explores the wide network of more than 1,000 holes, of which less than 20
percent have been mapped.
Colin O'Brady
After suffering life-threatening burns at the age of 22, adventurer Colin O’Brady set the
speed record for both the Explorer's Grand Slam and Seven Summits. He then went on
to summit each of the highest peaks in America's 50 States in just 21 days, a feat less
than 300 people has ever attempted. It's what he went on to do next that really turned
some heads however. Finishing in December 2018, O'Brady became the first person to
navigate the continent of Antarctica–solo and completely unsupported. He wrote to
his Instagram followers shortly after finishing the last 128km in under 33 hours: "While
the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite
honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced."
Sarah McNair Landry
By 18, Sarah McNair Landry had skied, unsupported, to the South Pole. By 19, she'd
accessed the North Pole via dog sled. Her accomplishments made her the youngest
person to ever reach both poles, but her adventures only continued from there. In 2016,
McNair Landry led a kite-ski expedition with professional kayakers Erik Boomer and Ben
Stookesberry across the Greenland Ice Sheet, leading to the world's first Arctic river
paddle descent. She suffered a broken back during the first stages of the expedition,
but continued on despite the pain. Watch their epic adventure Into Twin Galaxies here.

The Hottest Deserts in the World
The Arabian Desert
Located in southwestern Asia, the Arabian Desert is very large and is around 716,400 square
miles large. Most of the desert is sand, and the Arabian desert is one of the hottest and largest
deserts on Earth. The desert is dry, with temperatures that reach up to 133 °F (56.1°C). Saudi
Arabia is where most of the desert lies, and parts of it also extend into Yemen, Jordan, and
Abu Dhabi. Around 900 plant species can be found in the Arabian desert, 102 mammals, and
310 different bird species. Various lizard species, snakes, sand cats, foxes, wolves, camels, and
other types of heat-adapted animals live in the Arabian desert. Temperatures of this desert
remain high around the year, especially in August.
The Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest hot desert and covers most of Africa ‘s North half. The
highest temperature is 136 °F (57.7°C). The Sahara Desert covers around 31 percent of Africa
and is filled with plants and wildlife accustomed to the dry desert climate. Sand dunes, dry
valleys, and salt flats are some of the area’s landscapes. The Sahara Desert has around 70
mammals, 100 reptiles, and 90 bird species living in the desert. Some of the animals in the
Sahra include: Antelopes, Dung Beetles, African wild dogs, Desert Crocodiles, Saharan Ants
and Lions. Forested plants like Acacia trees, cypress, and palm trees cover this desert. A large
portion of the Sahra is covered with sand dunes, covering around 25% of the desert.
The Sonoran Desert
The Sonoran Desert is the hottest desert on earth and ties the Lut Desert with a temperature
recorded from a satellite saying the area was an extremely hot 177.4°F (80.8°C). Mexico is
where a large portion of the desert lies, but it also can be found in southern California and
Arizona. The Sonoran Desert is 86,100 square miles large and one of North America’s most
diverse deserts. While a blazing desert, the Sonoran Desert has over 2,000 plants that can
survive the higher temperatures. Around 60 mammals, 100 reptiles, 30 fish, 20 amphibians,
and over 350 bird species are in the Sonoran Desert. Temperatures are usually high in the
North American desert, but it is at their hottest point in July.
The Taklamakan Desert
The Taklamakan desert is one of the hottest places on earth and is one of the driest deserts
in China. The temperatures have been recorded at 122 °F (50 °C) and have been shown to get
up to highs of 152°F (66.6°C). Being one of the hottest deserts on earth, there is little plant life
in the desert. Animals like rabbits, foxes, camels, boars, and other species that can tolerate
high heat and dryness live in the Taklamakan desert. Water is rare in the desert, so passing
through it is extremely deadly. This desert is often called the desert of death, but tourists love
to visit the area because of the scenery and historical connections with the silk road. Being
one of the earth’s hottest deserts, temperatures stay high year-round.

My Study Abroad Story

I’ve been studying Engineering in Wellington in New Zealand for a year now and I’ve
loved every part. I arrived in New Zealand and everyone was really friendly, the
orientation week made me many friends and I enjoyed the activities that were
available. My friends at University are from around the world and I have met friends
from New Zealand too who always help me with any problems I have. We went to Te
Papa museum which was really interesting to learn about New Zealand and the history.

Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand and has some really nice things to see.
Outside of lectures, me and my friends like to travel round the city exploring different
areas. We have been to the top of the botanical gardens on the cable car and sat and
watched the crazy water fountain, but last break we wanted to do something more
adventurous. We looked on the map and saw Nelson wasn’t too far and that we could
travel on the ferry quite cheaply as we are all students, so we booked our tickets and
travelled to Nelson for five days.

We arrived, and it was raining, but I still loved it. The weather was very similar to my
home in Denmark, but it got sunnier. We were staying in a small hostel, which even
gave out free cake every evening! We spent a night in the hostel before heading out
to the Abel Tasman National Park, where we planned to do one of New Zealand’s ‘Great
Walks’. The walk took us 4 days, travelling along the coast of the national park. The
wildlife was incredible, and the animals just didn’t seem to be annoyed by humans; a
small mouse came up to my feet and posed for a couple of photos before lying in the
sun. It was a really fun experience and I met more people along the way that are now
good friends of mine. It was a very different experience to being at home in
Copenhagen.

Studying Abroad in New Zealand has been a really great experience. All of the staff at
university are very helpful and I love all my new friends. I think studying abroad is great
and I would recommend studying in New Zealand to all my friends.

21-Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Intrepid Bahraini Travellers

1- Imagine beginning your morning with a traditional Bahraini breakfast followed by a unique
tour filled with surprises across our pearling island! And for those who ask what is of so much
interest on a little island nation like Bahrain, Mariam and Hussain have the answer, “You might
actually want to come out of your comfort zone and take the experience with us.” They are the
Dilmuni Couple, renowned for their exploration around the Kingdom of Bahrain on foot in just
five days from 3rd Feb 2015 to 7th Feb 2015.

2- Hussain and Mariam discovered that they share the same passion towards travelling and
adventure while they were visiting the beautiful valley of Kashmir in India during their
honeymoon in 2012. And there began the story of the Dilmuni couple! “We had planned our
vacations last year but due to some reasons we couldn’t make it,” Hussain begins, telling us
about their micro adventure. “That is when I thought, why not take a look around our island
and know more about our place.”

3- “He then shared this idea with me about travelling around Bahrain on foot. I thought that
was pretty amazing,” adds Mariam. “Whenever vacations come, everyone tends to make visits
outside our nation. And this one time we decided to see in detail our motherland – Bahrain.
Referring to the hospitality of the people of Bahrain they said, “We were glad to have so many
people inviting us to stay at their home. But we preferred staying outdoors in camps which
gave us a better chance to be with nature.

4- Mariam, who is an eager blogger has penned down every moment of their travel in their
official blog ‘Dilmuni Couple’. The blog also speaks about numerous other journeys that this
incredible couple have undertaken. Remembering an amazing 20-day road trip they had to
Saudi Arabia, Hussain said, “We took this trip before our Bahrain quest.

5- The couple’s travel blog has been an inspiration for many since they started journaling the
adventures they have had together. And with the recent addition of Bahrain to their travel list,
the couple gets calls every day from people all over the kingdom; expatriates and natives
alike, for familiarization trips across the kingdom.

6- Hussain informs us that they also take groups to visit the weavers at Bani Jamra. This is one
traditional craft of Bahrain that is fast disappearing. There are only 2 brothers who are
currently working on it and unfortunately their children are not eager to take up this
profession in the future. “When we used to take visitors to them, initially, they didn’t know
how to respond to the visitors or help them about the place. But gradually they changed and
became very welcoming,” he says.

22- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The Lion of the Sea
1- The famous explorer, Vasco de Gama, was lost in the Arabian Sea until he met the legendary
Lion of the Sea. Ahmed ibn Majid helped guide Vasco using maps the technologies the west
was blind to. Eventually, a marine path was initiated between India and Europe.

2- Ahmad ibn Majid, also known as the Lion of the Sea, was an Arab navigator and
cartographer born 1432 AD in Julfar. He was born in a family famous for seafaring; at the age
of 17, he was able to navigate ships. He became famous in the West as the navigator who
helped Vasco da Gama find his way from Africa to India.

3- From Ibn Majid’s first short voyage at the age of seven, the young sailor became a student,
not only of winds, currents, and tides, but the moon, sun, and stars as well. The purpose of
such learning was so he could understand where he was, compared to where he was going.
During his youth, he navigated ships, he memorized and gained an understanding of the path
initiated by the Holy Quran.

4- History within the Middle East praises Ibn Majid with the invention of the navigator’s
compass. However, Chinese sailors have been using a form of the device since 500 years
earlier. During the 13th century, the original compass, which simply consisted of a magnetized
iron fish floating in a bowl of water, changed because of an Italian trader, who fixed a slimmer
magnetized needle to an axis.

5- Ibn Majid authored many authoritative navigational studies, including some 40 works of
poetry and prose, many of these relating to the seas. Over time, his passion for learning and
communication meant that he learned Greek, Tamil, Farsi, and many of the East African
dialects. He developed too, a religious and cerebral understanding of his world, which led
him to yet another legacy as a romanticist, and his poetry and verse too, live long after his
departure.

6- Ibn Majid wrote several books on marine science and the movements of ships. These helped
people to reach the coasts of India, East Africa, and other destinations. His interests in
astronomy, mathematics, and geography, instilled with such foresight by his father. Perhaps,
his most important work was “The Book of Profitable Things Concerning the First Principles
and Rules of Navigation”. The book covers such subjects as the origins and history of Arab
navigation up to his time. Ibn Majid died around 1500.

23- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Jobs that will make you feel more relaxed

Gardener
The great outdoors offers a bevy of relaxing jobs. Trade florescent lighting for sunshine and
fresh air—what’s more relaxing than that? You’ll get plenty of mood-improving vitamin D
outside; you’ll certainly be active and agile, which will reduce stress; and you’ll get the
satisfaction of growing and maintaining healthy plants for others to enjoy. Most positions
require a high-school diploma or equivalent, but if you’ll be planning gardens on a commercial
scale, you may be required to have a bachelor’s degree. You’ll need extensive knowledge of
local plants and bushes, fertilizers and irrigation systems.
Librarian
Is there any workplace on earth more stereotypically quiet than a library? Whether people visit
a library for work or pleasure, you can be sure they’re there to celebrate in the peaceful,
distraction-free environment in order to get lost in a good read. Most librarian positions
require a master’s degree in library and information science. If you want to work in a
specialized institution such as an elementary school or law firm, you may need additional
qualifications such as a teaching certificate or legal expertise. Computer skills are a must for
any librarian.
Massage therapist
Getting a massage is a relaxing experience for the person receiving the service, but the
massage therapist also enjoys the calming benefits of the spa or salon where the massage is
given. The rooms are typically small and comfy; the lighting is kept low, but not dark and
fragrant oils are often applied during massage. Many clients don’t talk much and may fall
asleep during the massage, so you’ll definitely have some time with your thoughts. When it
comes to relaxing jobs, this one is up there for sure. You’ll need a high-school diploma or
equivalent, plus a Licensed Massage Practitioner certification. If you work in a medical practice,
you may be required to have additional credentials to accept payments from health insurance
companies.
Yoga instructor
Yoga instructors always seem pretty chill, probably because they spend most of their
workdays stretching and meditating simultaneously. Yoga studios tend to be soothing
environments with relaxing music, thoughtful decor and even aromatherapy. Yogis often go
off-site—holding classes in nature or in someone’s home. Typically some kind of group
exercise or fitness certification from a nationally recognized organization is required.
Additional licensing is needed if you’re teaching specific classes or techniques that have been
branded, plus CPR, AED and first aid certifications.

24- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Work from home? Only if I have to!

1- Twelve weeks ago, this would have been my opening line. Like most people I considered
working from home a 'Friday thing,' but only if I had no meetings that day. My work and home
life felt hectic and frantic most of the time, I felt I didn’t have enough time to do it all properly.
At the office I'd think about home, at home I'd think about work and by the end of the week
my energy levels were so low that I needed the weekend to recharge my batteries.

2- So, I did what I considered to be the sensible thing and just avoided mixing the two. I kept
both parts of my life completely separate. I came into the office everyday so I could draw on
the energy and comfort I got from being with people. And home was, well, home. Then
coronavirus happened. Making the choice of where I work completely out of the equation. I
genuinely hated that last day in the office. I lied to my manager that I was going to be 'just
fine' working from home while inside I dreaded about being able to cope.

3- How would I manage to mix work life and home life? How could I be a mother, a wife and
a professional all in the same space? How would I manage it all without the comfort blanket
of the office-based routine? Would it all eventually become equal and collapse on me? I now
genuinely love working from home full-time and as I said to my colleagues in a recent
meeting, "you'll have to drag me back to that office kicking and screaming!"

4- So how come I find this way of life better, more relaxed? And 'relaxed' is definitely not a
word I would use to describe me anyway. One thing is that I don't have the stress of getting
ready for work. The panic I feel when running for the bus just so I make it to work on time.
Not to mention the lost time spent commuting when I could be doing something more
productive.
5- I also find real-time collaboration is better. I now find it easier and quicker to have
conversations with the people I need to get the job done. Relationships with colleagues feel
different via a screen but we still have the same sense of fun and enjoyment together that we
always had. It’s just taken a while to get used to the fact it all feels more formal as it requires
an invite on a calendar to bring everyone together. And spending more time with my family
has been great, if I’m really honest!

25- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

What is a work placement?

1- It’s important when you start planning your career that you give yourself any
opportunity you can to remain competitive, and indeed get ahead of the competition,
when it comes to developing your skills for the working world.

2- With more and more employers seeking experience as well as academic

achievement, in order to differentiate between candidates. A work placement during
your college years will present you with the perfect chance to gain organized, valuable
working experience before you embark on a longer internship programme or go
seeking that first job when you graduate.

3- Think of your work placement as an introduction to what may lie ahead for you in
the world of work. These placements allow you the opportunity for you to learn about
yourself in a work environment; what do you excel at, what do you find difficult? What
skills are your real strengths and where do you have to improve.

4- Like the vast majority of internships, most work placements have some payment,
though this will likely be less than that on an internship programme. The placements
are normally between one and three months in duration. On some courses,
placements are part of your course. This may, and in some cases does, mean that some
of your final grades are dependent on tasks completed while on work placement.

5- Work experience or a placement as part of your course is a valuable opportunity to

learn from professionals at work and put the theory you study into practice. A
placement helps develop personal and interpersonal skills, fosters self-motivation,
sharpens analytical skills, enhances subject knowledge and subject-specific skills, and
provides an insight into what makes businesses function. Being in a real situation also
provides an enhanced understanding of the practicalities of the work environment and
encourages you to consider future career paths.

6- The importance employers attach to work-related learning is evident by the number

of students who are offered a permanent job after graduation on the basis of a
successful placement. Support in preparing for and finding a placement is available
from your careers service or placement office.

26- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Some weird job interviews

Dmitry Rubinstein
I was once interviewing for a software engineer position at a small startup company. I
was led into a room with just a computer in it, and was told that there is a Word
document on the desktop with the instructions, and the person who greeted me then
left the room. Inside the document there were some programming questions I was
supposed to answer in-place, then I was supposed to fix a JavaScript game. I did that,
and there was nothing else to do, so I started playing that game I just fixed. Almost at
once the door opened, and the person who greeted me told me that I’ve passed the
first stage of the interview. Turns out he was keeping track of my progress via a remote
desktop all that time.
Alice Baker
The job interview took place in two stages. First, I spent 30 minutes with the high-level
lawyer who was actually responsible for making the hiring decision. Second, I spent 30
minutes with two lower-level lawyers who lacked hiring authority. I got along well with
the two lower-level lawyers, who were friendly and congenial. During my meeting with
them, I asked a few questions about the city where the office was located. One of the
lawyers said, “My wife has some free time today. I’ll ask her to give you a tour of the
city.” The lawyer’s wife arrived, as promised, and gave me a tour of the city. She also
gave me a detailed, two-hour description of the toxic work environment in her
husband’s office.
Håkon Hapnes Strand
When I was a student, I once interviewed for a part-time position at this company that
consisted of only three people. The name of the company was the initials of the
manager. I had no idea what they were doing, but hey, I only needed a part-time job
to pay rent. The manager walks me into their offices, and the first thing I notice is that
all the walls are covered in aluminum foil. Wait, what? Is that what I think it is? The
manager explains to me that he is allergic to electricity. I’m speechless. Before I
manage to think of anything to say, he introduces me to one of his two employees,
who is a teenage boy. He explains to me that the boy is only there temporarily,
because he’s in a program that’s going to send people on a one-way trip to Mars.
Finally, I didn’t take the job.

27- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

A different language is a different vision of life" - Federico Fellini

1- Learning a language can change our life completely and open doors to a completely
new way of life. In a globalized working world applicants with a diversity of languages
are in great demand and are more likely to climb the job ladder. The companies are
internationally concerned and expect their employees to communicate with their
clients in their native language. But speaking another language does not only imply
knowing its grammar and vocabulary, but also thinking in a different way. This seems
a bit difficult at first, however with time, motivation and practice it can be achieved by
every language learner.
2- For some time now, I have been empowering my language coachees to master their
Spanish and Catalan and before that I was an English, German, French and Italian
language learner myself. From my personal learning point of view, I believe I truly
mastered my first target language when I internalized the new language and I let this
process transform me into the new person I am now.
3- For me it was not just the language or the thought, but culture also played a role in
the way I perceived things and the strong relationship between the language, the
culture and the thoughts. Initially, it was thought that languages labelled the objects
around us. Now it is considered that when we speak different languages, we perceive
the world differently and identify things for which there are only words in our language.
Therefore, inside every language there lies a great secret: each language has its own
personality and distinctive way of expressing ideas. Words can have different roots that
might even affect the associations we have with them.

4- As a result, an important part of language learning for me was embracing these

personality changes and being comfortable with them. That is why I only felt “fluent”
when I adopted the mentality of a speaker of the language I was learning. This in return
helped me to improve not only my communication, grammar and pronunciation, but
also my confidence towards my target language.

5- Learning a new language broadened my horizon. As Marcel Proust once said "A
language we do not know is a fortress sealed". If you feel you would like to uncap your
fortress as I did, and take your Spanish and Catalan up a notch, do feel free to contact
me. I would love to hear from you.

28- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

To what extent is employment driving the future of English?

The world of work has changed. Globalization, together with advances in technology,
has changed the way many companies operate and the skills required by employees.
Previously technical skills in specific areas were highly sought after, now employers are
looking for ‘all-round’ employees who can combine technical expertise with additional
skills, including teamworking, problem-solving, negotiation, intercultural awareness
and digital literacy.

Multilingual and multicultural workforces are not uncommon, whether people are
working remotely or in the same location. English is often the lingua franca and
sometimes the official language of business as chosen by organizations. The very
concept of international, dispersed teams’ changes and expands the parameters of
English for work.

English is becoming a requirement for all sectors of industry. At all levels in

organizations and all over the world, English at work is no longer only for professional
jobs or senior management roles – it has increasingly become necessary for lower-
skilled jobs in the tourism and retail sectors. As cited in a previous British Council study,
‘even if English is one of the working languages in a major multinational company, the
English proficiency requirement differs from role to role’

All these factors have led to the notion of proficiency, as we know it, being re-defined.
As the data shows, the future of English is interesting, dynamic and contextual but there
are still many questions. The future of English programme is an invitation for colleagues
and partners to collaborate to try and answer some of these questions. We’re living in
exciting times, change is the norm, but for the foreseeable future, English will continue
to connect people and change lives.

A) Answer the following questions:

1. What additional skills are employers looking for now?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. “English is often the lingua franca”, the underlined phrase “lingua franca” means ……..
a) communication b) local c) limited

29- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

How do I find the right English course for me?

There are numerous ways to study English today, but what is the best method for you? Here
is some advice about choosing the right system to learn English.

1- People often think a course for beginners needs to be all about grammar and vocabulary,
while a course for advanced learners is only conversation. But that’s not really true. As a
beginner you need to listen and speak, and by listening and speaking you will learn some
grammar and vocabulary naturally, as children do. And as an advanced learner you should
continue to do the same, listening and speaking and learning new grammar and vocabulary.
To understand at which point you need to start, do a level test. This will help you understand
what point you are at now and what objective you want to reach. Find a course with the
appropriate number of levels that enables you to start at exactly the right point in your
learning.
2- The most effective way to learn is to take an active role in your lessons and have fun. If your
lessons are boring and you have a totally passive role, you will either stop quite quickly or
simply forget most of what you heard. I think the most fun way to learn is to use a blended
method of interactive lessons, plenty of speaking time and entertaining social activities with
other students. By doing a mix of interesting activities with the focus on the most fundamental
skills of listening and speaking, you can learn quickly and efficiently and can immediately put
into practice what you have learnt.

3- If you want to improve your spoken English, you need to follow the natural logic of listening
to language used in context, copying it and becoming confident in saying it, and then
reproducing it yourself in conversation. This system of natural acquisition of language is valid
at every level, from beginners to advanced learners. It is the way everyone in the world learns
their own native language. So make sure you look for a course that follows a structured
program, introducing and reviewing new language all the time, and not just lessons of
grammar or only lessons of conversation.

4- There are advantages to both individual courses and group courses. Doing an individual
course enables you to go at your own rhythm, slowing down when necessary and speeding
up when possible. And when you have a busy period, you can simply interrupt your studies.
On the other hand, doing a group course is fun from a social point of view and is also useful
in helping you learn from others. So ideally, you want to find a course that lets you go at your
own velocity, adapting to your needs, and at the same time offers the chance to study with
others.

30- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The attractiveness of an advertisement

The attractiveness of an advertisement depends on the following factors:

Formatting of the ad:
Formatting consists of two aspects of an ad campaign, Size and Uniformity. While
designing an ad, the formatting part requires extra attention. By Size, we mean
wherever you watch the ad, it should be a perfect fit in the frame. Besides Size, there is
another formatting we need to focus on. Uniformity. By uniformity, we mean that your
ad should be designed in such a way that it should be compatible with all the devices
your targeted audience use i.e., Laptop, mobile phone, TV, tablet etc. Your ad should
be visible on all the devices in the same format.
Font of the ad:
The font of an advertisement plays a crucial role in deciding whether your audience
understands what is written over there in your ad. The font style and size should be
easily readable and should be according to product characteristics.

Colour of the ad:

The background, font colour, and pictures should be chosen as per the audience. One
of the things that makes an ad attractive is understanding colour psychology. Every
gender and every age group have their different favourite colours. In such a case,
understanding colour psychology and designing a perfect colour matching ad is crucial.

Use of pictures and animations:

Most of the ad today contains pictures and animations. These kinds of stuff increase
the engagement power of an ad and they have the ability to keep the audience
involved.

Script/Content:
Content is one of the important things that define the engagement level of the
audience and the attractiveness of an ad.

Use of appropriate language:

The engagement level and whether your audience understands the ad campaign
largely depends on the language used in the ad. An advertisement should be designed
in the regional language from where your audience belongs.

Photoshopped Photos That Fooled Us All

1- The Shark and the Helicopter
Helicopter Shark is a composition of two photographs that gives the impression that a
Great white shark is leaping out of the water attacking military personnel climbing a
hung ladder attached to a special forces UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. The photo was
widely circulated via email in 2001, along with a claim that it had been chosen as
“National Geographic Photo of the Year”. The final edited photo was created by
combining a photograph of a HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter taken by Lance Cheung
for United States Air Force (USAF), and a photo taken by South African photographer
Charles Maxwell. While the helicopter photo was in fact taken in front of the Golden
Gate Bridge, the photo of the shark was actually taken in False Bay, South Africa. There
are no known sightings of Great White sharks in San Francisco Bay.
2- National Geographic
In this National Geographic magazine cover story on Egypt, the Great Pyramids of Giza,
in a horizontal picture by Gordon Gahen, were “squeezed” together to fit the
magazine’s vertical format. Tom Kennedy, who became the director of photography at
National Geographic after the cover was manipulated, stated that “We no longer use
that technology to manipulate elements in a photo simply to achieve a more
compelling graphic effect. We regarded that afterwards as a mistake, and we wouldn’t
repeat that mistake today”.
3- Philippines engineers
In October 2011, a picture of three Philippines' government engineers inspecting
damage wrought by Typhoon Nesat in Manila Bay went viral thanks to a photoshop
error that created the impression they were floating. The picture posted on Facebook
showing the three men standing among the ruins at the water's edge at first drew anger
after an eagle-eyed blogger – a civil engineer – spotted that they appeared to be
floating in mid-air and guessed correctly that the image had been Photoshopped. But
then other bloggers got in on the act, poking fun at the trio and the Department of
Public Works and Highways by posting dozens of other fake images in a host of unlikely
settings, including The Beatles' walk across Abbey Road and Da Vinci's painting of The
Last Supper.

32- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Online marketing of unhealthy food

Digital marketing is becoming an increasingly important tool to market unhealthy food to

children and teenagers. On a typical weekday, Australian 15-year-olds spend about two
hours online when they are not at school, and a quarter of them are online for more than
four hours. Research by the Australian Communications and Media Authority involving
children aged 8 to 17 found children spend longer periods of time online as they grow
older. Digital media becomes central to their lives, particularly through social media
platforms such as Instagram and YouTube.

Australian adolescents spend increasingly large amounts of time online. This time is spent
on activities such as watching videos or online streaming services, using social media,
gaming, listening to music and talking with friends using services such as Discord.
Unhealthy food marketers can take advantage of these trends to target children and
teenagers using digital media in various ways, including through advertisements, product
placement, influencer marketing, brand owned content and branded apps and
‘advergames’ created or sponsored by companies to embed products into a game.
Marketing on social media encourages teenagers to like and share brand posts with their
friends, thereby binding the influence of peer networks.

A recent study of Australian children aged 10 to 16 years found that watching food-branded
video content on YouTube and seeing favourite food brands advertised online were
significantly associated with higher consumption of unhealthy food and drinks. A UK study
found an increased intake of unhealthy snacks among children who viewed images of social
media ‘influencers’ with unhealthy snacks on Instagram, compared to children who had
viewed images of influencers with healthy snacks or non-food products.

A US study found that playing food-branded ‘advergames’ increased children’s

consumption of unhealthy snack foods, compared to playing advergames featuring healthy
foods and non-food advergames. Within advergames, the technique of ‘rewarded video
advertising’ in which players are shown an ad before progressing to a new level has been
shown to be particularly effective. An Australian study of children aged 7 to 12 found that
children exposed to rewarded video advertising within an advergame chose the promoted
brand significantly more than children in other arms of the study, when offered a choice of
snacks afterwards.

33- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

What Makes Soft Drink So Addictive?

1- It’s a well-known fact that soft drinks are addictive and can be harmful when
consumed in excessive amounts. Yet what exactly makes them so addictive, especially
for young kids whose teeth are still developing? Neuroscientists have concluded that
the sugar, caffeine and carbonation of soft drinks are designed to deliver intense and
addictive experiences that leave you wanting more. This article offers more information
about the elements that make soft drinks so addictive.

2- Soft drinks contain large quantities of sugar which, when consumed, causes a ‘rush’
that is extremely addictive and leads to even bigger cravings. The reward centres of
the brain are activated, releasing dopamine and other hormones to create a feeling of
excitement.

3- Not all soft drinks contain caffeine, but those that do are even more addictive.
Caffeine is a stimulant that not only increases alertness, but also activates the reward
centres of the brain like sugar. When consumed alongside sugar regularly, people can
develop an unhealthy dependence on them to function, and experience serious
withdrawal effects such as headaches or tiredness if deprived.

4- The fizz of soft drinks adds an element of acidity that causes an intense sensation,
intensifying the euphoric feeling people experience when they drink them. The
carbonation has the added effect of moderating the sweetness just enough to increase
cravings and leave you wanting more.

5- People develop strong associations and emotional connections with the ritual of
drinking soft drink. The simple act of opening a can and hearing the pop can be highly
suggestible, creating feelings of desire and enticing people to drink them.

34- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The quality of education in Africa

1- Improving access to education in Africa is an essential first step, but ensuring that
the education provided is of high quality is just as crucial. Unfortunately, many children
across Africa who do have access to education attend schools where the quality of
education is poor, and they may not receive the skills and knowledge they need to
succeed. This is why quality education is undoubtedly one of the most pressing
education issues in Africa.

2- One of the key factors affecting the quality of education is the shortage of qualified
teachers. In many areas, there is a severe shortage of teachers, and those who are
available may not have the necessary training and support to teach effectively. In
primary schools in sub-Saharan Africa, for example, just 61.23% of teachers have
relevant teacher training. In lower secondary schools, it’s just 56.3%. The impact this
has on delivering high quality education is obvious.

3- Another contributing factor is the lack of suitable teaching materials and textbooks.
Without access to up-to-date and relevant materials, students may not be receiving the
most current information, and their education may be limited in scope. Additionally,
inadequate infrastructure, such as insufficient classroom space, lack of electricity, and
outdated technology, can impact the quality of education.

4- To improve the quality of education in Africa, governments and international

organizations need to prioritize teacher training and professional development to
ensure that teachers are equipped with the necessary skills to provide high-quality
education. This includes training teachers in modern teaching techniques, curriculum
development, and classroom management.

5- Once again, improving infrastructure, such as providing adequate classroom space

and resources, can also help to tackle education issues in Africa. Providing up-to-date
teaching materials and textbooks can also ensure that students are receiving the most
current information, improving the quality of their learning.

35- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Educators Who Changed the World

1. Horace Mann (1796-1859)
Mann was an extraordinary person who lived and worked in the early years of the American
republic. The true passion of Horace Mann, however, was to shape the new nation into a
modern, prosperous, leading-edge nation, and the main path toward this goal, in his view,
was education. He led the charge for an education system that was accessible to all, and for
free. But he didn’t just want schools to squeeze knowledge into the mind of children. He
wanted to instill character, to make sure that future citizens would be dedicated, hardworking
and have loads of character.
2. Margaret Bancroft (1854-1912)
Margaret Bancroft is truly one of those people to whom “world changer” fully applies. Before
she came along, any child who had special needs was pretty much considered a lost case. But
Margaret Bancroft saw potential in those kids. She started her own school, with the
unbelievable name “Haddonfield School for the Mentally Deficient and Peculiarly Backward,”
and got to work with a broad régime of healthy eating, exercise, arts, music and constant
experimentation with lessons geared toward every kind of special needs student. Because she
never gave up on her students, she learned techniques that allowed them to get an education
instead of being labelled and discarded.
3. John Holt (1923-1985)
If you’ve got a kid in public or private school, you’ve probably never heard of John Holt. But
if you homeschool, chances are you’ve read at least some of his work - and if you haven’t you
should! You see, Holt’s writing provided much of the scientific basis for homeschooling. Like
so many teachers, he went from college to teaching, but very quickly became intensely
frustrated with the public school system. He found it conventional, firm and inflexible. He
later conducted research that indicated most kids perform better in atmospheres with
flexibility, using learning approaches tailored to their own specific needs. He played a key role
in raising the legality of homeschooling, and his book, Teach Your Own, is still the source of
the home-teaching world.
4. Howard Gardner (1943-
Some of the approaches and techniques used throughout the history of education were based
on observation, but a lot of it has been based on practical needs and availability of resources.
The basic structure of classroom learning, with a teacher standing in front of rows of students
behind desks, hasn’t changed much in the past 150 years or so. Howard Gardner’s research
resulted in the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which hypothesizes the idea that different
people have different brains that best learn in different ways. His work has been widely
supported by research. His original list of intelligences (also known as learning style) has
grown to nine distinct styles, and the list continues to grow.

36- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Why should university education be free?

1- Generally, university education does offer some external benefits to society. Higher
education leads to a more educated and productive workforce. Countries with high
rates of university education generally have higher levels of innovation and productivity
growth. Therefore, there is a justification for the government funding higher
education.

2- There is also a powerful argument that university education should be free to ensure
equality of opportunity. If students have to pay for university education, this may
dissuade them. In theory, students could take out loans or work part-time, but this
may be sufficient to discourage students from studying and instead may enter the job
market earlier.

3- The global economy has forced countries, such as the UK to specialize in higher-
tech and higher value-added products and services. The UK’s biggest export industries
include pharmaceuticals, organic chemicals, optical and surgical instruments, and
nuclear technology. Therefore, there is a greater need for skilled graduates who can
contribute to these high-tech industries.

4- One characteristic of a merit good is that people may underestimate the benefits
of studying and undervalue higher education. Government provision can encourage
them to study.

5- In recent years, we have seen a rise in the cost of living. House prices and rents have
risen faster than increase. This means young people are struggling to meet living costs
– even in work. The thought of student debt on top of high living costs, may dissuade
people from studying. Free tuition fees is a way to restore the income inequality across

37- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Several studies show that chocolate could, among other things, protect the heart and
the brain, but it could also lead to diabetes. A small piece – or even a large one – of
dark chocolate will do you no harm. Scientists assure you, chocolate is not your enemy.
It could even prove to be an ally in the face of various diseases.

Let's get rid of the main fear linked to chocolate, that of weight gain. For those who
suggest that you shouldn't eat chocolate when you're on a diet, you can tell them about
the study by Beatrice Golomb of the University of California, San Diego, which shows
that eating chocolate could actually help you stay slim. Yes! The scientist has indeed
shown that people who ate chocolate several times a week were on average thinner
than those who ate it occasionally. While chocolate is loaded with calories, it also
contains ingredients that may promote weight loss, rather than fat creation. The
important thing is also how often you eat chocolate and not the amount consumed.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have indeed shown in a study that eating
a lot of chocolate can reduce the risk of heart disease. To reach this conclusion, the
researchers compared the risks related to the brain and the heart of people who ate
little of chocolate – less than two bars per week – with others when consuming more
than two bars per week. The analysis of 20 different studies also reminds us that
chocolate can slightly reduce blood pressure. Thanks to the chemical agents present in
the cocoa, the blood vessels could "relax" and the blood would therefore circulate more
easily.

However, like all good things, chocolate also has disadvantages. The researchers
behind the study on chocolate and heart risks recall that consuming too much dark
chocolate can lead to other diseases, including type 2 diabetes. It is therefore strongly
recommended not to go to the extremes.

38- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

In this educational institution in Oregon which welcomes middle school students aged
13 to 16 who have dropped out of school, the teachers do much more than teach. They
restore the confidence of these young people and help build their future.

At first sight, this class looks like all the others. Geography maps and tables are hung
up on the wall. Tables and chairs are lined up in rows, the students answer their
teacher's questions with interest. The teacher, Mat Laurent, is also their director. His
lesson of the day: the explanation of a Japanese animated film, "Grave of the Fireflies”.
It’s an opportunity for a historical reminder of the attack on Pearl Harbor and a detailed
analysis of the work. An hour of seemingly ordinary school life, then.

However, the 17 students of this 3rd class come back from afar. What they had in
common was being angry with the school, which increased the number of those called
dropouts. “Before coming to us, they had all been failing for a long time, between six
months and two years”, summarizes Mat. They are slowly adapting themselves to the
institution.”

This place which heals the wounds of students in great difficulty is called the ESG
(Educational Support and Guidance). Created in 2009, the ESG welcomes 65 young
people per year, it is divided into four classes of 4th and 3rd. Some teenagers are
followed by Childhood Social Assistance; others live with their parents. Several have
been caught up in the street or the neighborhood. “Before their admission, I receive
them with their parents or their social worker,” explains the director. The involvement
of families is essential; our role also consists of making them move at the same time
as their children. Altogether, we develop an individual project”.

The schedule is arranged to improve learning: school refresher in the morning, cultural
outings and professional workshops (in gardening, carpentry and styling) in the
afternoon. Six in total, the teachers create their own courses, without the support of
textbooks. “We rely on oral participation, we give up on homework, we talk a lot in
class”, explains their head teacher.

39- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

We left for two weeks in February 2015 for a self-drive tour of South Africa, through a
tailor-made travel agency based in Johannesburg South Africa.

The preparation for the trip was done through several telephone calls or by email, with
a very friendly welcome each time and with great availability. Once our expectations
were taken into account, tours were proposed by the agency, describing the type of
accommodation chosen for each phase, the distances between each phase and the
activities included in the package.

After finalizing the tour details, we chose our flights (the travel agency cannot take care
of the flight bookings.) at the best price, then we coordinated with the agency so that
the tour matches our final flight times and dates.

Upon our arrival to Johannesburg, a representative from the agency was waiting for us
to give us our travel diary + map of the country, present the whole trip to us and help
us with the car rental. We believe that the best way to see the country is by car. Many
people are not bold enough to engage in an adventurous journey outside the cities or
off the beaten track, but experts consider it a must! It’s not only because of the
spectacular scenery to cover at your own pace, but also because it's easier than you
think as the roads are in excellent condition. Moreover, this is probably the easiest way
to meet people and really see their way of life. We then started our tour, as initially
planned, without any unpleasant surprises. Everything was perfect and well organized.

We are planning to return next year to the southern part of South Africa, through the
same tailor-made travel agency.

40- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Tobacco kills nearly 6 million people every year. If it wants to preserve and increase its
sales and profits, the tobacco industry must attract new buyers in order to replace those
who die or succeed to stop smoking. By this, advertising is at the heart of the tobacco
industry’s commercial strategy. Children and teenagers are one of the targets of such a
strategy. However, it is unacceptable to promote tobacco and its harmful effects on
children and young people.

This makes forbidding tobacco advertising an effective way to protect those young
people. We agree that children should not smoke, and yet the majority of smokers
begin before becoming adults. In fact, we want to allow our children to develop in a
healthy way and; therefore, protect them from smoking. International tobacco
companies advertise heavily their products to children and young people and therefore
encourage them to smoke. Studies show that as soon as children and young people
come into contact with tobacco advertising, they start smoking sooner.

In this regard, it is not acceptable to advertise tobacco and its harmful effects on
children and young people. As a responsible society, we must protect children and
young people and promote their healthy development. Tobacco is bad for health, no
one will deny it, and this is especially for children and young people whose bodies are
still in full development. The earlier smoking begins, the more harmful the health
consequences become. We must protect our children!

For effective youth protection, the sale of tobacco products to young people must be
forbidden. Therefore, tobacco advertising mustn’t be aimed at our children and young
people. Considering the fact that the protection of children and young people against
tobacco advertising is not enough, there is a need for stricter laws. Tobacco advertising
that is likely to reach the young ones must be forbidden. Thus, it is a question of not
allowing all tobacco advertising not only in the media and on the Internet, but also in
all points of sale.

41- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

(1) Today, many schools and companies use standardized tests such as the TOEFL test
to evaluate students’ abilities. Every year, thousands of people take these kinds of tests
to enter or graduate from a school, or find a better job.

(2) There are two kinds of tests that are generally used in academic institutions. The
first type of test is the achievement test which is used at the end of a term to evaluate
how much students have learned about a subject. The other commonly used test is the
proficiency test which evaluates the overall skill in a language of students, and is not
directly related to a particular course or school. IELTS, TOEFL, and university entrance
exams are types of proficiency exams.

(3) In many educational systems throughout the world, students take regular multiple-
choice achievement tests. They have to succeed in these tests to pass or graduate from
an educational institution. Many people believe that teaching students to pass a test
develops discipline in them and gets them ready for the labour market.

(4) However, Educational reformers, think that standardized testing alone has its
limitations and can only measure some of a student’s ability. They realize that many
students, though intelligent, are not at all times good when taking tests or at
memorization. This makes it more difficult for them to reach passing grades, enroll at
good schools, or get the proper job.

(5) Surprisingly, test experts admit that the current tests are not perfect. Paul Barton,
the director of Educational Testing Services’ (ETS) Policy Information Center, has
proposed that standardized testing must be changed. According to him, students
should take fewer standardized tests. The ones they take, he says, should measure what
students really know, and how that knowledge is used in real life.

42- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

1- A recent study showed that 75% of high school students have cheated on tests and
exams. If we add copying homework, the total is 90%. Many students don't even realize
that what they are doing is wrong. They believe that cheating is acceptable now,
because it occurs frequently. That's a problem.

2- In the past, weaker students cheated, but now clever kids often cheat as they need
higher grades. There is more competition today. One high school student says, 'There
is a big pressure to get into a good university. You must get good marks, and to do so,
some people believe that they have to cheat.'

3- One study done in the USA showed that 50% of students agreed with the opinion
that 'people sometimes have to lie and cheat to succeed.' It seems that cheating has
become normal for some people. But it is not only at school that people cheat; more
and more people cheat in sports and in business. Unfortunately, adults don't always set
a good example.

4- Cheating is easier with new technology. Today, you can find websites where you can
pay people online to write an essay for you. Students get instant answers to their
homework via text messaging and these text messages can be sent to friends in exams.
Some students even take photos of tests and then email them to friends. So what's
the solution?

5- Teachers can ask students not to bring their cell phones and cameras, and use special
software to find those who copy homework from the internet. Students who cheat can
be suspended or expelled by their schools. But , it’s important to know that you don't
have to cheat if you want to be successful- cheaters never win and winners never
cheat.

43- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

All in a Day's Work

Many people do not like their jobs. The two most common reasons are low pay and boredom.
Other reasons are terrible bosses or co-workers, long working hours, and bad working
conditions. Perhaps the real problem is that many people just aren't able to find the right jobs.
Workplace Magazine interviewed 200 university students in New York and Los Angeles to find
out what their ideal job would be. Their answers revealed some distinctly different attitudes
toward work. We identified six basic types of people:
The company person: "I want to have job security and would like to work for the same
company all my life."
Only eight percent of the students in our survey fit into this category. It seems that not many
expect a job for life these days. A few decades ago, it was common for a person to work with
one company for their entire life. Now, working for the same company for a lifetime does not
happen very often. In today's workplace, people are likely to change jobs frequently
throughout their life.
The idealist: "I want to save the world."
Seventeen percent of students in the survey fit into this group. Several students said they
wanted to help endangered species of animals. Others said they wanted to go to Africa to
help people.
The wealth-seekers: "I want to earn lots of money, and I don't care what I do to get
it."Twenty-one percent were mainly motivated by making money. Their goal was to get rich.
Many wanted to be presidents of big businesses or have their own companies. They were
prepared to work long hours and were not particularly interested in having a life outside work,
such as getting married and raising a family.
The fun-seekers: "I want a cool job that won't take over my life."
This attitude was the most common view that students in the survey expressed. Thirty-one
percent of the students said their priority was to balance life and work. They said they did not
want to work 10 to 12 hours a day, six or seven days a week. They wanted interesting jobs, but
they also needed time for family and enjoying life.
The part-timers: "I do not want to work every day. Life is too short."
Twelve percent said their dream jobs would allow them to work part-time. That way, they
said, they could travel and do other things they really enjoy.
The clueless: "I have no idea what I want to do."
Eleven percent of the students belonged in this final category. They said they really had no
idea about what their dream job would be. They said they would move from job to job until
they found the right one.
What about you? Which type are you? Will you be one of the lucky ones who really like their
work?

44- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Make the Most of your Free Time

Studies say that people nowadays have more free time than ever before. Then why
doesn't it feel that way? These days, our free time is usually spent watching television,
using computers or communicating on our phones. Images and information are
constantly flashing into our brains, so it's no wonder we don't feel as if we have really
switched off. To really relax and help us regain our energy levels, it is important to use
our free time wisely.

First, think about what you want to achieve in your free time. Do you want to get fit,
get creative or simply relax? Don't worry about what you ought to be doing, just think
about what will make you feel more content. Also, plan when you are going to enjoy
your free time, and treat it in the same way as anything else on your calendar. If
something else more important comes along, you can choose whether or not to
postpone it, but never cancel it!

Make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your free time in advance. If you're
looking forward to a nice long bath, buy in bath oil and candles. If you want to get out
in the countryside, get your boots and map ready, and don't forget to check the
weather forecast.

Take the opportunity to expand your social circle. Everyone has different interests, so
don't expect your mates to be into the same things you are. Give them a break for a
while, join a club and get to know people with the same interests as you. You can never
have too many friends!
Once you're relaxed and energised, you can think about what you'd like to improve in
your life. Want to get fit? Learn a skill? Improve your job chances? There are plenty of
groups, dubs and classes you can join that will set you on a completely new life path.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and enjoy yourself!

45- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

1- Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a young girl named Lily, Lily was kind
and loved exploring. One sunny day, while walking in the forest, she found a shiny
necklace hidden among the leaves.

2- Curious about its beauty, Lily picked up the necklace. It had a heart-shaped pendant
with a sparkling blue gemstone in the middle. But what Lily didn't know was that this
necklace had a special power. If someone wore it, their deepest wishes would come
true.

3- Lily decided to keep the necklace and put it around her neck. She made her first wish
to be able to talk to animals. Suddenly, she could understand a nearby bird singing.
She spent a long time talking to animals and learning about their lives.

4- As time passed, Lily's friends and family noticed positive changes in her. They
couldn't understand how she became so kind and wise. Lily kept the necklace a secret
and continued to wear it, making more wishes.

5- One day, while exploring a busy market, Lily heard a soft voice asking for help. She
followed the sound and found an old woman struggling with her heavy groceries. Lily
kindly offered to help. The grateful woman thanked Lily and asked if she could grant
her a wish. Lily hesitated for a moment but decided to make a wish. She wished for the
necklace to find its rightful owner, someone who needed its powers more than she did.

6- To Lily's surprise, the necklace glowed and flew out of her hands. It led her to a
young girl named Emily, who had a difficult life. Lily explained the necklace's powers to
Emily and gave it to her.

7- With the necklace, Emily's life changed for the better. She used its powers to bring
happiness to herself and others. Lily, happy with her decision, continued her adventures,
knowing she had made a difference in someone's life.

8- From that day on, Lily understood that true happiness comes from helping others.
She valued the memories with the magical necklace and carried the lessons in her heart
forever.

46- Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The changing environment of Madagascar
1- Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world. It is located in the Indian Ocean off the
southeastern coast of Africa. The country is quite poor and most people earn less than $2 a
day. However, there is a growing interest in the country for tourism, but at the moment very
few tourists visit.
2- Madagascar has something special which makes it very interesting for scientists and tourists
alike. It has many species of plants and animals that do not exist in other countries. Between
80 and 90 percent of its animals and plants have only ever been found in Madagascar.
3- People have lived in Madagascar for a very long time. Most researchers believe that the first
people came to the island over 2000 years ago from Borneo in the South China Sea. However,
since then Arabs and East Africans, and later Malays, Javanese, Indians, Chinese and Europeans
have all lived in Madagascar. The population has risen to over 20 million people and this has
caused many environmental problems.
4- Nearly fifty percent of Madagascar’s forests have disappeared in the last fifty years. It is even
higher on the coast. Scientists have estimated that nearly 50 per cent of Madagascar’s animal
and plant species are dead or will die. Madagascar’s most famous animal is the lemur.
Unfortunately, at least 17 species of lemur have become extinct since people arrived. Many
plants and animals we know little about will be dead before we have a chance to know more
about them.
A) Read the text and match the headings (a-e) with their corresponding paragraphs (1-4). Note:
There is ONE extra heading.
Heading Paragraph number
a) Many races arrived to Madagascar.
b) What makes Madagascar unique?
c) A rich ocean life

Part 2: Writing
1 – Read the following passage and write a summary paragraph.
Robots and AI
In recent years, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) have dramatically advanced, reshaping
various aspects of society. Robots, once confined to industrial manufacturing, now perform a
wide range of tasks, from delivering packages to assisting in healthcare settings. AI, a
technology that enables machines to mimic human intelligence, has become integral to
numerous applications, including autonomous vehicles, voice-activated assistants, and
financial forecasting.
AI systems are designed to analyze large volumes of data, recognize patterns, and make
decisions. In industries like healthcare, AI is being used to diagnose diseases, personalize
treatment plans, and even assist in surgeries through robotic systems. In finance, AI algorithms
can predict market trends and assess investment risks with greater speed and accuracy than
human analysts. These technologies, when combined, have revolutionized industries by
increasing efficiency, improving precision, and reducing human error.
Despite these advancements, the rise of robots and AI also raises ethical concerns. One major
issue is the displacement of jobs, as automation takes over roles traditionally held by humans.
Many fear that the widespread use of AI could lead to job losses, particularly in sectors like
manufacturing, retail, and transportation. Additionally, as AI systems become more
autonomous, questions about accountability and transparency arise. Who is responsible if an
AI system makes a mistake?
Moreover, there are concerns about AI being used in surveillance and security, potentially
leading to privacy violations. As AI continues to evolve, it will be essential to establish ethical
guidelines that ensure its development benefits society as a whole, while addressing the risks
and challenges it poses.

transparency emerge, such as determining responsibility when AI makes errors. Additionally, AI's
role in surveillance raises privacy concerns. To mitigate these risks, ethical guidelines are crucial to
ensure AI's continued development benefits society while addressing its challenges.

2- Air Pollution is a big issue in most cities around the world. Write an essay that describes this
problem and proposes practical solutions. (250-300 words)

SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM OF AIR POLLUTION

Air pollution has become a universal problem in urban areas around the world,
resulting from various sources such as vehicle emissions, industrial discharges, and
construction dust. This pollution has severe health impacts, including lung illnesses,
heart diseases, and early deaths. In this essay, I explore some concerns about air
pollution, and I highlight some effective solutions that can help control this issue.
Enhancing public transportation is a crucial solution for reducing air pollution in
cities. Investing in efficient, reliable, and affordable public transport systems can
significantly decrease the number of private vehicles on the roads. For example, cities
like Copenhagen and Tokyo have extensive public transportation networks that have
successfully reduced traffic congestion and emissions. By encouraging the use of buses,
trains, and bicycles, cities can lower their overall pollution levels and improve air quality.
Applying firmer emissions procedures for vehicles and industries is another effective
strategy. Governments can mandate the use of cleaner technologies and fuels, such as
electric vehicles and low-emission industrial processes. The European Union, for
instance, has set ambitious targets for reducing vehicle emissions and promoting electric
car adoption. Additionally, industries should be required to install advanced filtration
systems to minimize their environmental impact.
Finally, encouraging green spaces within urban areas is also essential for combating
air pollution. Trees and plants naturally filter the air by absorbing pollutants and
releasing oxygen. City parks, green roofs, and public gardens not only improve air quality
but also provide amusing areas for residents. Expanding green spaces helps reduce the
urban heat and provides a natural way to reduce pollution.
In conclusion, addressing air pollution in cities requires a many-sided approach,
including enhancing public transportation, enforcing stricter emissions regulations, and
promoting green spaces. By implementing these solutions, cities can significantly
improve air quality, leading to healthier populations and better environments. It is
crucial for governments and citizens to work together in these efforts, ensuring a
cleaner, safer future for all residents.

11- Write a review about a gadget you have bought (DELL LAPTOP XPS 13). Remember to be
objective and balanced in your review, considering both the advantages and disadvantages of
the Laptop. Your review should be between 250 and 300 words. Make sure to support your
opinions with specific examples or detailed observations.
DELL LAPTOP REVIEW
The Dell XPS 13 is a high-performance laptop known for its sleek design and powerful
capabilities. I purchased this laptop six months ago as an upgrade from my previous model,
primarily for work and personal use, including tasks like video editing, programming, and daily
browsing. Overall, my experience with the Dell XPS 13 has been largely positive, although there
are a few areas where it could be improved.
One of the key strengths of the Dell XPS 13 is its exceptional build quality. The laptop is made
with premium materials like aluminium and carbon fiber, giving it a durability yet lightweight
feel. This makes it ideal for carrying around, whether I’m traveling or working from different
locations. Another advantage is its impressive display. The XPS 13 features a nearly borderless
13.3-inch screen with vibrant colours and sharp resolution, making it perfect for tasks that
require detailed visuals, such as graphic design or video streaming. Additionally, the
performance of this laptop is outstanding, with its Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM
handling multitasking and demanding applications with ease. I’ve been able to run several
heavy-duty programs simultaneously without any delay.
However, the Dell XPS 13 does have some weaknesses. The first issue is battery life. Despite
the laptop’s powerful performance, the battery tends to drain quickly, especially when running
resource-intensive programs. This requires me to carry the charger with me more often than
I’d like. Another downside is the limited port selection. With only a few USB-C ports, I often
need to use adapters to connect my external instruments, which can be inconvenient.
In conclusion, the Dell XPS 13 is a premium laptop that offers excellent build quality, a
spectacular display, and powerful performance. However, its shorter battery life and limited
ports are factors to consider. Despite these drawbacks, I would recommend the Dell XPS 13 to
anyone in need of a high-performance laptop for work or creative tasks, as long as they are
prepared for the minor inconveniences.

17- Write a compare and contrast essay about the similarities and differences between
eBooks and printed books. (250 - 300 words).
eBooks and printed books
Books have been a cornerstone of knowledge and entertainment for centuries, and with the
advent of technology, they have evolved into two primary forms: eBooks and printed books.
Both formats are crucial for readers, offering unique advantages and serving various needs.
This essay will compare and contrast eBooks and printed books, focusing on their similarities
and differences.
Despite their differences, eBooks and printed books share several important similarities.
Firstly, both serve as valuable sources of knowledge and entertainment, allowing readers to
explore a wide range of topics, stories, and ideas. Secondly, eBooks and printed books both
provide an immersive reading experience, enabling readers to escape into different worlds or
gain insights into various subjects. Lastly, both formats are widely accessible, with eBooks
available on various digital devices and printed books found in bookstores, libraries, and online
platforms.
However, there are notable differences between eBooks and printed books. The first
difference lies in their physical nature. Printed books are tangible objects that offer a sensory
experience, including the feel of the paper and the smell of the pages, which many readers
find appealing. In contrast, eBooks are digital and can be stored on devices, making them more
portable and convenient for those who travel frequently. Secondly, the cost of production and
purchase varies. eBooks are generally cheaper to produce and buy, while printed books can
be more expensive due to printing and distribution costs. Lastly, the reading experience
differs; eBooks offer features like adjustable font sizes, built-in dictionaries, and the ability to
carry multiple books on one device, while printed books provide a distraction-free reading
environment.
In conclusion, eBooks and printed books share the common goal of providing knowledge and
entertainment but differ in their physical form, cost, and reading experience. Each format has
its advantages, and the choice between them often depends on personal preference and
lifestyle. Whether one prefers the traditional feel of a printed book or the convenience of an
eBook, both formats continue to enrich the lives of readers around the world.

1- Unreal Past Conditionals

If Past Perfect , would/could/might have +P.P

claim).

Other subordinators are wh-question words (what – when – where – who – why – which - how). We
use statement word order and no question mark with noun clauses that start with wh-words.

- The robot doesn’t care where does it work? (Χ) (Question word order)

You can omit that in noun clause.
