Question 13:
a. Lily: Well, AI is already making its mark! Think about it—robots in factories, AI writing content, even
virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa. Soon, AI could take over a lot of tasks we do today. Can you
imagine not having to sit in traffic for hours just to get to the office?
b. Lily: Hey Alex, have you ever wondered how the workplace will look in, say, 10 years? I think AI is
going to change everything!
c. Alex: Hmm, I don't know. I'm not so sure about that. I’ve been doing my job the same way for years, and
it works. What's all this talk about AI?
A.a-b-c B. b-c-a C. a-c-b D. c-b-a
Question 14:
a. Sophia: It’s not about slacking off—it’s about trust and results. With technology, we can work from
anywhere and still be productive. It’s more about outcomes than hours spent in an office.
b. Martin: I get that, but what about the old way of working? When I started, it was all about showing up
on time and getting things done. Isn't flexibility just an excuse to slack off?
c. Sophia: We’re motivated by purpose. If we believe in the company’s mission, we’ll work harder. And
with remote work, we can balance life and work, which keeps us energized.
d. Sophia: Hey Martin, have you noticed how work is changing? For us Gen Z, it’s all about flexibility and
purpose. We want jobs that align with our values, not just paychecks.

Question 15:
Dear John,
a. I know you’re skeptical about technology, especially when it comes to work. While there are challenges,
like automation affecting jobs, I see huge opportunities.
b. I also think technology enhances our work rather than replacing it. Automating repetitive tasks frees up
time for more creative and meaningful work. Plus, technology keeps us connected, even when we're far
apart. I can message you instantly, which I find amazing.
c. I hope you're doing well. I've been thinking about our recent discussion on technology, and I wanted to
share my thoughts with you.
d. For instance, AI is already making strides in healthcare and education. Doctors can now diagnose
diseases more accurately, and students have access to resources worldwide — that's powerful!
e. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Maybe we can chat more soon and discuss the pros and cons of
tech in our lives.
Take care and talk soon!
Love,
LK

Read the following passage about The Evolution of the Modern Workforce 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 the rapidly changing world of work, individuals no longer rely on traditional career paths. Instead, the
workforce is becoming increasingly dynamic, with new opportunities and challenges emerging. Digital
transformation is at the heart of this evolution, as technology fundamentally alters how work is organized
and executed. Remote work, for example, has transitioned from a temporary solution to a permanent fixture
for many industries. While this shift offers unparalleled flexibility, it also raises questions about productivity
and the long-term effects on mental health. Remote work has blurred the lines between professional and
personal life, leaving workers to grapple with the constant pull of work-related demands.
In parallel, the rise of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) has redefined job roles across various
sectors. Repetitive tasks, once performed by humans, are increasingly handled by machines, which has led
to both job displacement and the creation of new, specialized roles. The need for human creativity, problem-
solving, and emotional intelligence has become more apparent, emphasizing the importance of skills that
machines cannot replicate. Consequently, workers must remain agile, continuously adapting to new tools
and technologies.
 Another noteworthy trend is the growing focus on sustainability in the workplace. As awareness of
climate change rises, more companies are adopting eco-friendly practices. This shift towards green
business operations not only supports environmental protection but also creates new industries and
job opportunities in fields such as renewable energy, green construction, and environmental
consulting.
Ultimately, the world of work is moving towards a more fluid and interconnected model. While the
traditional office job is not yet obsolete, it is clear that the future of work will require adaptability,
continuous learning, and a commitment to both technological advancement and environmental
responsibility.

Read the following passage about From 9-to-5 to Flexibility: The New Era 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 23 to 30.
The traditional 9-to-5 workday has been the standard for decades, but this is rapidly changing. With
advancements in technology and the shift caused by the pandemic, more employees are embracing flexible
work arrangements. Remote work, flexible hours, and freelancing are becoming popular options that allow
workers to balance their professional and personal lives more effectively. These changes have also led to a
rethinking of what it means to be productive, with many employees now able to work from anywhere in the
world.
While flexibility offers many advantages, such as improved productivity and better work-life
balance, it also presents challenges. Many employees find it hard to maintain clear boundaries between work
and personal time. Additionally, the isolation of working from home can lead to feelings of disconnection
from colleagues, making it harder to build relationships and collaborate effectively. Some employees even
report that they feel disconnected from their company’s culture, which can affect overall engagement.
As businesses transition to these new work models, the key question is how to create policies that
maintain flexibility while fostering collaboration and accountability. Companies need to strike a balance
between giving employees freedom and ensuring they remain productive and engaged. This new approach to
work demands innovation from both employers and employees.
In conclusion, the future of work is undoubtedly more flexible, but it requires thoughtful planning. By
addressing the challenges and embracing the benefits, organizations can create environments where
employees thrive both personally and professionally.

from 23 to 30.
As urbanization continues to surge across the globe, cities are at the forefront of a major transformation
aimed at addressing the dual challenges of rapid population growth and environmental sustainability. Urban
centers are increasingly turning to innovative solutions to create more livable, efficient, and resilient
environments. The "race" to transform cities is centered on the adoption of green technologies, smart
infrastructure, and sustainable urban planning. These efforts are not only intended to improve the quality of
life for urban residents but also to mitigate the impact of climate change.
One key aspect of this transformation is the shift toward sustainable energy sources. Cities are investing
in renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, and introducing electric public transportation to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, urban planners are emphasizing the creation of green spaces and the
development of energy-efficient buildings, which are crucial in reducing the environmental footprint of
urban areas.
However, the transition to a sustainable urban future is not without significant obstacles. The financial
costs of implementing these technologies and the retrofitting of existing infrastructure pose
considerable challenges. Additionally, not all cities have the political will or resources to keep pace with
these changes. Despite these hurdles, some cities have already made notable strides, setting examples for
others to follow.
In conclusion, while the race to transform cities into sustainable urban hubs faces numerous challenges,
it represents a critical step toward achieving environmental resilience and improving urban living conditions.

Read the following passage about the Living Green: Small Acts, Big Impact 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.
In recent years, the urgency of environmental conservation has become undeniable[I]. Climate change,
air pollution, and the depletion of natural resources threaten ecosystems worldwide[II]. However, [III]. In
fact, small, daily actions taken by individuals can tip the scales in favor of substantial environmental
improvements. The idea of 'living green' encourages us to adopt habits that reduce our ecological footprint,
ultimately making a significant difference over time[IV].
One of the most effective ways to live green is through reducing waste. Simple actions like recycling,
composting, or minimizing single-use plastics can lower the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. For
example, carrying reusable shopping bags or using eco-friendly products not only helps decrease plastic
pollution but also promotes a culture of sustainability. In addition, conserving energy—such as turning off
lights when they are not needed or using energy-efficient appliances—further minimizes our environmental
impact.
Another critical component of green living is mindful consumption. Opting for locally sourced and
organic food reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and industrial farming. By
choosing these sustainable alternatives, we support environmental practices that prioritize soil health,
biodiversity, and ethical treatment of animals. Moreover, even small lifestyle choices like reducing water
consumption or supporting eco-friendly companies can have a significant ripple effect.
Ultimately, the power to protect the environment lies in the hands of each individual. By making small,
conscious changes to our routines, we can create a larger impact than we might realize. The key is
consistency and a collective commitment to sustainability. Each act, no matter how small, brings us one step
closer to a greener, more sustainable world.
