Question 40:
a. First, Bullying is when someone hurts another person on purpose. This can happen at school, online, or in
the workplace. Bullying can cause serious problems for the person being bullied. They may feel sad and
hopeless. Sometimes they don't want to go to school or work. In some cases, bullying can even lead to
depression and suicide.
b. These are just a few examples of the many social issues people face every day. It's important to talk about
these problems and find solutions so that everyone can live a happy and healthy life.
c. People today face many social issues. Some of these are overpopulation, poverty, and crime. In this article,
I want to talk about three other important social issues: bullying, body shaming, and peer pressure.
d. Peer pressure is when people try to get others to do something they don't want to do. This is often a
problem for young people. For example, a teenager might feel pressure to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol
because their friends are doing it. Peer pressure can be very hard to resist. It can cause stress and anxiety.
e. Body shaming is the second issues, it is when someone makes fun of another person's body. This can
happen if a person is too thin, too fat, or has some other physical difference. Body shaming can hurt people
very much. It can make them feel bad about themselves. Sometimes it can even lead to eating disorders or
other health problems.
A. c - a - e - b - d B. c - a - e - d – b C. c - a - d - e - b D. a - c - b - d – e

3
Question 41:
a. Yours faithfully,
b. Another issue that I would like to highlight is body shaming. Many people, especially young women, are
made to feel bad about their bodies because they do not look like the models in magazines. This can lead to
serious mental health problems such as depression and eating disorders. Magazines should be encouraged
to use more realistic images of people.
c. Dear Editor,
d. I am writing to express my concern about the growing problem of overpopulation. The world's population is
increasing rapidly and this is causing many problems, such as a lack of resources and damage to the
environment. I think it is important for governments to take action to control population growth.
e. Finally, I would like to mention the issue of poverty. It is unacceptable that so many people around the
world live in extreme poverty and do not have enough food to eat or clean water to drink. More needs to be
done to help these people and to reduce inequality between rich and poor.
f. I hope you will consider publishing my letter.
g. Peer pressure is another big problem that affects young people today. They often feel under pressure to do
things that they do not want to do, such as smoking or taking drugs. Schools need to do more to educate
young people about the dangers of these activities and to help them resist peer pressure.

e. Can you come over to my house at half past one?

Question 43:
a. Pollution is a big problem. We should make new laws to stop factories from polluting our air and water.
Also, finding clean energy sources like solar power, wind power, and water power is important.
b. Thank you once again for your letter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
c. Thank you for your letter. I agree that we need to protect our environment.
d. Sincerely,
e. Dear Mr. Smith,
f. Deforestation is another issue. Cutting down too many trees affects the oxygen supply and temperature
regulation on our planet. Planting more trees and reducing cutting them down is crucial.
A. e- c- a- f- b- d C. a- b - f - d - c - e
B. e- c- a- d- b- f D. b - c - d - e - f - a

Question 44:
a. So what can we do? There are many things we can do to help the environment. Here are four simple ideas:
Save energy. Turn off lights and TVs when you're not using them. Don't waste water. Have a shower instead
of a bath. Travel by bike or on foot instead of by car. Recycle paper, glass, and plastic.
b. In conclusion, if we want to save our planet, we have to change our behavior. We can't continue to pollute
the air, water, and soil. We can't continue to destroy forests and kill animals. It's time to act now.

4
c. We all know that the environment is in danger. Pollution is a big problem and it's getting worse. We're also
endangering many species of animals and plants. Deforestation is another serious problem. In some parts of
the world, we're cutting down trees too quickly. This is bad for the planet.
d. These are just a few examples. There are many other ways to help the environment. For example, we can
plant trees and clean up our beaches and parks. We need to work together to make our planet a better place.

the questions.
APPRENTICESHIPS AND ALTERNATIVES
Whether you’re put off by student loans, you need a break from education, or you’re keen on starting work
straight after school – going to university isn’t the right choice for everyone. And you might be surprised at the
career prospects available to those without a degree. If you’re considering not going to university, here are a
few options of what you could do next.
If you’ve just finished school and you don’t have any work experience, traineeships and internships are a
great way to prepare yourself for your future career. Traineeships usually last from six weeks to six months,
and are offered exclusively to 16-23 year olds. Not only do they provide essential work preparation training,
they’re also the perfect opportunity to gain the practical skills and experience needed to move onto an
apprenticeship or job. While internships are similar to traineeships, they are available to people of all ages –
and usually focus more on providing practical work experience, rather than guided training and work
preparation.
School leaver programmes are becoming a popular choice for A-level students who aren’t interested in
university, but still want the learning and training that are involved with further education. These programmes
5
are designed to give school leavers the chance to earn a qualification whilst working part-time or full-time (and
earning a wage). The exact structure of a school leaver programmes will largely depend on the company you
work for. School leaver programmes could last anything from three to seven years, and are most common in
industries like accountancy, finance, retail, engineering, and IT.
If you’re keen to start work straight away, an entry-level job could be well within your reach. And you may be
surprised at what kinds of jobs are available. Whether you want to start a career in education, you’re
interested in breaking into the marketing industry, or you’re passionate about IT – you don’t always need
extensive experience or qualifications to start a career in your preferred sector. And with many employers
providing on-the-job training for new recruits, you’ll be able to learn a range of key skills to help you progress
within the industry.

Question 55: According to paragraph 3, what benefit do people receive from school leaver programmes?
A. They are capable of doing many different kinds of jobs at the same time.
B. They are able to learn the knowledge about their job while working to get their salary.
C. They can learn about the most common industries when being a student at school.
D. They can receive the training directly from the company they work for.
Question 56: According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT provided by traineeships?
A. degrees B. practical skills C. work preparation D. work experience
Question 57: The phrase verb “break from” in the first paragraph is most probably means ________.
A. taking a temporary pause or time away from education or schooling.
B. stopping for a holiday or vacation
C. explaining something in detail or simplifying
D. interrupt an education or schooling
Question 58: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. New employees may make a progress in their job thanks to the training when being recruited.
B. Internships bring more benefits to people than traineeships.
C. School leavers may have to spend from three to seven years on training before being employed.
D. You have to prepare quite carefully before running the business by yourself.
Question 59: The word “options” in the first paragraph is opposite in meaning to ________.
A. obligations B. disadvantages C. incomes D. benefits
Question 60: The phrase “breaking into” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. running B. stopping C. taking part in D. keeping on
Question 61: Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. How to choose the Correct Job B. The Benefits of Not Going to University
C. Different Paths after School D. University is Still the Best Choice
Question 62: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. internships B. traineeships C. practical skills D. people of all ag

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
When people learn to play video games, they are learning a new literacy. Of course, this is not the way
the word literacy is normally used. Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability to read and write. Why,
then, should we think of literacy more broadly, in regard to video games or anything else, for that matter?
There are two reasons.
First, in the modern world, language is not the only important communicational system. Today images,
symbols, graphs, diagrams, artifacts, and many other visual symbols are particularly significant. Thus, the
idea of different types of visual literacy would seem to be an important one. For example, being able to read
the images in advertising is one type of visual literacy. And, of course, there are different ways to read such
6
images, ways that are more or less aligned with the intentions and interests of the advertisers. Knowing how
to read interior designs in homes, modernist art in museums, and videos on MTV are other forms of visual
literacy.
Furthermore, very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed and integrated in a
variety of ways. In newspapers and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take up more and more of the
space alongside words. In fact, in many modern high school and college textbooks in the sciences images not
only take up more space, they now carry meanings that are independent of the words in the text. If you can’t
read these images, you will not be able to recover their meanings from the words in the text as was more
usual in the past. In such multimodal texts, the images often communicate different things from the words.
And the combination of the two modes communicates things that neither of the modes does separately. Thus,
the idea of different sorts of multimodal literacy seems an important one. Both modes and multimodality go far
beyond images and words to include sounds, music, movement, bodily sensations, and smells.
So there are different ways to read different types of texts. Literacy is multiple, then, in the sense that
legal literacy needed for reading law books is not the same as the literacy needed for reading physics texts or
superhero comic books. And we should not be too quick to dismiss the latter form of literacy. Many a
superhero comic is replete with post- Freudian irony of a sort that would make a modern literacy critic’s heart
beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult.
Literacy, then, even as traditionally conceived to involve only print, is not a unitary thing but a multiple
matter. There are, even in regard to printed texts and even leaving aside images and multimodal texts,
different literacies. Once we see this multiplicity of literacy, we realize that when we think about reading and
writing, we have to think beyond print. Reading and writing in any domain, whether it is law, rap songs,
academic essays, superhero comics, or whatever, are not just ways of decoding print, they are also caught up
with and in social practices. Video games are new forms of art. They will not replace books; they will sit beside
them, interact with them, and change them and their role in society in various ways, as indeed, they are
already doing strongly with movies. Today many movies are based on video games and many more are
influenced by them. We have no idea yet how people read video games, what meanings they make from
them. Still less do we know how they will read them in the future.
