Read the following passage about sibling relationships 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 1 to 8.
Everybody feels irritated by their siblings from time to time. Maybe your younger brother shows off and
behaves in an immature way when you invite your friends to your house. Or perhaps your hardworking older
sister gets a lot of praise from your parents, making you feel like you are not trying hard enough. At times, your
brother or sister can feel like your worst enemy. But your relationship can improve greatly with a bit of effort
and understanding.
Sibling relationships can be especially difficult for teenagers, who are experiencing many changes to
their preferences and personality. For example, you may now find some of the activities that you used to enjoy
doing with your younger brother childish or a waste of time. At times, the age difference can feel bigger than it
really is, and this can have a negative effect on your relationship. One way to solve this problem is to make
sure you continue to include your brother or sister in your day-to-day life. This can take some time, so it is
important to be patient and enthusiastic.
Of course, it is perfectly normal for brothers and sisters to fall out with one another over small things.
But you should not try to let incidents like these have too big an effect on your relationship . It is
important to learn to forgive your siblings for this kind of behavior, just as you would forgive your close friends.
In situations like these, it is really important to let your sibling know how you feel. Rather than insulting your
sister when she takes your things, tell her that it makes you feel angry, and that you would feel much happier if
she asked you first. It’s also crucial that you are sensitive to the feelings of your siblings too.
Finally, it is important to learn how to compromise. It is understandable that you may not want to lend
your favorite jumper to your unreliable sister, but maybe you could offer her a less valuable alternative item of
clothing. Or if your brother likes to spend all his free time watching football and you find it boring, you could
suggest a different sport that you follow regularly together. And if you make the effort to make your sibling
happy, he or she will do the same for you.

Read the following passage about How Housing Aspirations Differ Across Generations 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 1 to 8.
The concept of an ideal home varies dramatically between generations. Baby Boomers, born between
1946 and 1964, typically prioritize spacious suburban properties with large gardens and multiple bedrooms.
They often view homeownership as a crucial milestone and long-term investment. This generation generally
prefers traditional architectural styles and permanent residences where they can establish roots. Their housing
aspirations reflect stability, with many seeking properties they can own outright before retirement.
In contrast, Generation X members, now in their 40s and 50s, demonstrate more pragmatic housing goals.
Having witnessed economic fluctuations throughout their adult lives, they tend to value practical features like
energy efficiency and low maintenance requirements. Many from this cohort seek properties within commuting
distance of urban centers, balancing professional needs with family considerations. Unlike their parents, Gen
X homebuyers often relocate multiple times throughout their careers, viewing property as both shelter and
tactical investment.
Millennials and Generation Z exhibit markedly different housing priorities. These younger generations
frequently prioritize location over size, preferring compact urban dwellings with proximity to amenities,
entertainment, and employment opportunities. Environmental consciousness significantly influences their
choices, with many seeking sustainable or "smart" homes. Financial constraints from student loans and rising
property prices have compelled many young adults to delay homeownership entirely. Consequently, they've
pioneered alternative living arrangements like co-living spaces and tiny homes, rejecting the notion that bigger
is better.
Housing aspirations will undoubtedly continue evolving with each generation. Economic conditions,
technological advancements, and cultural shifts all shape our perception of the ideal home. While older
generations cherish spaciousness and permanence, younger homebuyers increasingly value flexibility,
sustainability, and experience over possession. Despite these differences, the fundamental desire for security
and personal expression through one's living space remains universal across all age groups.
Question 1: Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED as a housing priority for Baby Boomers?
A. Multiple bedrooms B. Large gardens

Read the following passage about the Generational Spending Priorities 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 1 to 10.
Different generations approach money matters with distinct priorities, creating a fascinating financial
landscape across age groups. Baby Boomers, now in their 60s and 70s, grew up during a time when pinching
pennies was not just encouraged but often necessary. Their spending habits typically reflect caution and
traditional values, with emphasis on homeownership, retirement accounts, and maintaining emergency funds.
Having weathered multiple economic storms, this generation often thinks twice before parting with their hard-
earned cash, especially for digital subscriptions or short-lived experiences that younger consumers embrace.
Generation X occupies a unique middle ground between saving and spending. [I] Having entered
adulthood during economic prosperity followed by recessions, they balance financial security with quality-of-life
purchases. [II] This generation prioritizes education funding for children, mortgage payments, and retirement
planning, yet also allocates significant resources toward travel and home improvements. [III] Unlike their
parents, Gen X readily adopts technology, spending considerably on devices and services that simplify daily
life. [IV]
Millennials and Generation Z demonstrate radically different spending patterns compared to their
predecessors. These younger consumers allocate substantial portions of their income toward experiences
rather than physical possessions, investing in travel, concerts, and dining experiences. Digital subscriptions
form a significant component of their monthly budgets, with streaming services, apps, and online memberships
considered essential rather than luxuries. While criticized for apparent financial imprudence, these generations
actually demonstrate thoughtful consumption focused on sustainability and ethical considerations. Their
reluctance toward traditional investments often stems from economic realities like student debt and housing
inaccessibility rather than carelessness.
These generational spending differences reflect broader economic conditions, technological
developments, and cultural shifts that shaped each group's formative years. While Baby Boomers save
for rainy days and retirement comfort, younger generations prioritize immediate experiences and digital
conveniences. However, all generations ultimately seek similar outcomes: security, satisfaction, and
meaningful use of financial resources. Understanding these different approaches provides valuable insights
into changing consumer behavior and evolving economic priorities across generations.

and social changes experienced during their youth
C. Younger generations intentionally reject the spending habits of older groups regardless of external

Question 8: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B. Baby Boomers readily embrace digital subscriptions and short-lived experiences despite their
typically cautious financial approach
C. Millennials invest heavily in physical possessions while showing little interest in sustainable
consumption or ethical considerations
D. All generations ultimately seek similar outcomes despite their different approaches to spending and

Read the following passage 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 1 to 8.
Milu was born in a small village in the north of India, and never had the chance of going to school,
because her family needed her to work. So she grew up never having learned to read or write. She was a little
sad about it, but she didn't let it upset her too much, and tried to think about other things.
She went through life, never being able to do what she wanted, because she felt that if she couldn't
read, then she was somehow less than everybody else. This meant that she didn't make many friends and
didn't go out much. She thought people would think she was stupid, and she didn't want them to laugh at her.
When she was fifty-six, she got a job cleaning a school and when she had finished her work, she used
to sit and watch the little kids do their lessons. She didn't realise that one of the teachers watched her while
