2. Read the following passage about Personal Choices, Global 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 23 to 30.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our world today. Every day, the choices we make can
either help or harm the environment. While some people think individual actions don't matter much,
scientists say that when millions of people change their habits, it can make a real difference in protecting our
planet. Small changes in daily routines can add up to significant benefits over time.
Transportation is an important area where we can reduce our impact on the environment. Many people are
now choosing to walk, ride bicycles, or take public transport instead of driving cars. This helps decrease the
amount of harmful gases released into the air. Some families are switching to electric vehicles, which are
better for the environment than gasoline cars. Carpooling also reduces traffic and saves fuel.
Our food choices also affect the climate significantly. Eating less meat and more plant-based foods can help
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Growing vegetables and fruits requires less energy and produces fewer
emissions than raising cattle. Additionally, buying local food products means less transportation is needed to
get food to our tables, which helps reduce pollution. Many people are also choosing to grow their own
vegetables, which reduces transportation needs.
Saving energy at home is another way to protect the environment. Simple actions like turning off lights
when leaving a room, using energy-efficient appliances, and adjusting the thermostat can reduce our
energy consumption. Many people are also installing solar panels on their roofs to generate clean
electricity. These individual choices, when combined with others' efforts, create a positive impact on our
planet's future.

3. Read the following passage about From TikTok to Top Marks 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, social media platforms have revolutionized the way students approach learning. TikTok,
initially known for its entertainment value, has emerged as an unexpected educational powerhouse. Through
short-form videos, educators and students alike share knowledge on subjects ranging from complex
mathematical concepts to historical events, making learning more engaging and accessible.
The platform's algorithm expertly curates educational content based on users' interests, creating personalized
learning experiences. Students can find bite-sized lessons on virtually any topic, from language acquisition
to scientific experiments. This innovative approach has transformed traditional studying methods, as learners
can now access information in an entertaining and memorable format.
However, while social learning platforms offer numerous benefits, they also present challenges. Students
must develop critical thinking skills to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources. Additionally, the
condensed nature of these videos means that some topics require supplementary research for comprehensive
understanding.
Despite these limitations, many educators have embraced this digital transformation, incorporating
social media tools into their teaching strategies. By combining traditional teaching methods with social
media resources, teachers have reported increased student engagement and improved academic performance.
This hybrid approach to education appears to be shaping the future of learning in the digital age.
