Read the following passage about A Sustainable Future and mark the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to
30.
In recent years, the concept of green living has gained significant traction as individuals and
communities recognize the importance of sustainable practices. Green living refers to adopting a
lifestyle that minimizes an individual’s or society's use of the Earth's natural
resources. It encompasses a range of practices, from reducing waste and conserving energy to
choosing sustainable products and supporting local economies.
One major aspect of green living is the emphasis on reducing waste. Many people are now
adopting practices such as recycling and composting to manage their waste more effectively.
This shift not only helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also promotes
a healthier environment. Additionally, green living encourages the use of renewable resources.
Solar energy, for example, has become increasingly popular as a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
By investing in solar panels, homeowners can harness the power of the sun to generate
electricity for their homes, which significantly reduces their carbon footprint.
Moreover, green living also involves making informed choices about the products we use.
Choosing organic foods, for instance, supports sustainable farming practices and reduces
exposure to harmful chemicals. However, it is essential to distinguish between organic
and conventional foods to understand their environmental impact better.
In discussions about sustainability, the term "eco-friendly" often arises. This term refers to
products and practices that do not harm the environment. For example, eco-friendly cleaning
products can be an excellent alternative to traditional cleaners that contain harmful chemicals.
Paraphrasing is also crucial when discussing green living. It involves restating ideas in
one’s own words to ensure understanding. For instance, one might say, "Living sustainably
means making choices that benefit the planet," instead of directly repeating the definition of
green living.
Ultimately, adopting green living practices can lead to a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable
planet. Communities that embrace these practices often find a renewed sense of purpose and
connection to nature. Furthermore, cities around the world are implementing policies that support
green living initiatives. These may include increasing public transportation options or creating
green spaces for residents to enjoy.
In conclusion, green living is not just a trend; it is a necessary shift toward a sustainable future.
By making conscious choices, we can contribute to the well-being of our planet and future
generations.

Read the following passage about the The World of Work and mark the letter A, B, C or D
on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31
to 40.
[I]In today’s rapidly evolving world, the landscape of work is transforming in unprecedented
ways. [II]The rise of technology, globalization, and changing societal values have all contributed
to a new understanding of what it means to work. [III], and the way we approach employment is
continuously shifting. [IV]As a result, individuals must adapt to these changes, enhancing their
skills and embracing new opportunities.
One of the most significant changes in the world of work is the impact of technology.
Automation and artificial intelligence are not only reshaping industries but also changing the
skill sets required for various roles. For example, jobs that once required manual labor are
increasingly being performed by machines, which necessitates a workforce that is skilled in
technology. According to recent studies, nearly 50% of current jobs could be automated within
the next decade. This statistic highlights the urgent need for workers to adapt and learn new skills
to remain competitive in the job market.
Another important factor is the rise of remote work. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this
trend, leading many companies to adopt flexible working arrangements. Remote work allows
employees to have a better work-life balance, but it also comes with challenges. For instance,
workers may experience feelings of isolation or difficulty in separating their work from personal
life. To mitigate these issues, companies are encouraged to implement effective communication
tools and promote a supportive work culture.
As the world of work continues to evolve, so do the expectations of employees. Workers today
prioritize job satisfaction, meaningful work, and opportunities for growth over traditional
benefits like job security and retirement plans. Organizations that can offer a positive work
environment and support professional development are more likely to attract and retain top
talent.
The world of work is in a state of flux, driven by technological advancements, changing
employee expectations, and the rise of remote work. To thrive in this new environment,
individuals and organizations must embrace adaptability, invest in continuous learning,
and foster a supportive work culture. As we navigate these changes, we have the opportunity
to create a more fulfilling and sustainable work life for everyone.
