In recent years, social media has become a dominant force in the lives of young

people. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat are not just means of
entertainment but also tools for communication, self-expression, and identity
formation. While these platforms offer opportunities for connection, creativity, and
even activism, they also bring challenges such as cyberbullying, addiction, and
unrealistic comparisons. Constant exposure to filtered lifestyles can negatively affect
self-esteem and mental health. However, when used wisely, social media can be a
powerful tool for learning, networking, and spreading awareness about global issues.
The key lies in educating youth about responsible usage and encouraging digital
literacy.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, where information is available at the click of a


button, the habit of reading traditional books is gradually declining. E-books and
audiobooks have become more common, offering convenience and speed. However,
studies show that reading printed books enhances comprehension and retention
better than screen-based reading. Physical books also offer a tactile experience that
screens cannot replicate. Reading improves focus, vocabulary, and imagination,
while also reducing stress. In contrast, digital distractions can interrupt deep reading
and weaken attention spans. Therefore, despite technological advances, the value of
reading remains essential for personal growth and intellectual development.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is a present reality. Melting glaciers,
rising sea levels, and frequent extreme weather events are all signs of a warming
planet. Scientists agree that human activities such as deforestation, industrial
pollution, and overreliance on fossil fuels have accelerated climate change. Despite
international agreements and climate summits, global carbon emissions continue to
rise. While governments must play a key role, individuals can also make a difference
through conscious efforts like using public transport, conserving energy, and
reducing plastic waste. The survival of future generations depends on the actions we
take today.

Questions:

1. What are some visible effects of climate change mentioned?


2. How are human actions contributing to this issue?
3. What role can individuals play in fighting climate change?
4. Why have international agreements not been fully successful?
5. What is the main message of the passage?

Education is not merely about acquiring degrees or memorizing facts. True


education empowers individuals to think critically, act ethically, and contribute
positively to society. In many parts of the world, access to education is still a luxury,
especially for girls and children in conflict zones. Without education, poverty,
discrimination, and inequality continue to grow. Educated citizens are better
equipped to solve problems, understand others, and participate in democracy.
Furthermore, education fosters innovation and drives economic development.
Investing in education is not just a policy decision; it is a commitment to building a
better, more just world for all.

Questions:

1. What is the deeper meaning of education in the passage?


2. Who are still deprived of education and why?
3. How does education benefit society as a whole?
4. What is the tone of the author – informative, persuasive, or critical? Explain.
5. Suggest two ways governments can improve access to education.
Leadership is often associated with intelligence, vision, and strategy. However, one
often overlooked aspect is emotional intelligence (EI)—the ability to understand
and manage emotions in oneself and others. Leaders with high EI are empathetic,
good listeners, and skilled at handling conflict. They build trust within teams and
foster a healthy, productive work environment. Unlike technical skills, which can be
learned quickly, emotional intelligence requires self-awareness, reflection, and
consistent practice. In today’s dynamic workplace, where collaboration and
adaptability are key, EI is as important—if not more—than IQ. Great leaders not
only inspire but also connect with people emotionally.

Questions:

1. Define emotional intelligence based on the passage.


2. What are the qualities of a leader with high EI?
3. Why is EI considered more important than IQ in some situations?
4. How can one improve emotional intelligence?
5. Do you think emotional intelligence is a natural trait or a learned skill?
