Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Nowadays, you have most likely heard about going green and might have even understood very clearly the
benefits that an eco-friendly lifestyle may offer. And if you are thinking about beginning a green life of your
own, there are some simple, inexpensive, but meaningful steps that you can take.
Buying inexpensive reusable shopping bags is present in every "ways to go green" list, and for good
reason. Billions of plastic bags are used each year around the world, resulting in huge amounts of plastic waste
and endangering the lives of animals that may mistake them for food. Therefore, to help ease this negative
environmental impact, consider switching to a reusable bag, which are often handed out at events or sometimes
come with the items you buy. You can probably create a collection of them without spending any money!
Cooking at home with fresh ingredients is a huge way to reduce your impact on the environment. Not only
is eating at home healthier and more affordable, but it also means you are throwing away less fast food and take
away containers, which add to tons of single-use waste. Furthermore, having home-cooked meals also means
that you have the liberty to choose a diet with more vegetables and fewer factory-farmed meats, which helps
reduce greenhouse gases.
As the World Wildlife Fund explains, many of the ways we get our energy – whether we're supplying
power to our homes or fuel to our cars are dirty and wasteful. One way to cut back on your family's carbon
footprint is to make energy conservation a priority. Small actions like always turning lights off when leaving
a room are easy habits to develop and are great ways to making the family, as a whole, more environmentally
friendly.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] In the modern world, young children and teenagers are spending more time watching computers or
smartphone screens more than ever before. [II] Fortunately, this doesn't mean parents cannot do anything to
keep children's screen time at a healthy level. [III]
First of all, content is key. [IV] Keeping an eye on what children are watching or playing on the screen is
critical to ensure that they are being exposed to content that is age-appropriate and beneficial for their mental
health and personal development. For example, is it enhancing skills that they will need at school, such as
colours, shapes and numbers for young children; and social skills that help them engage in a positive way with
their peers for older children and adolescents?
Parents should also spend time with their kids whenever possible. From a developmental perspective, the
benefits of in-person engagement trump those from screen time, especially for younger children. The
interactions between a caregiver and child are absolutely essential for their cognitive, social and emotional
development. This doesn't have to use expensive resources - talking and singing offer excellent opportunities to
stimulate development and develop nurturing connections. For older children and adolescents, try to match
screen time with time together to achieve a healthier balance.
Despite their usual dislike of rules, children develop well with healthy boundaries and limits. Simple rules
around screen time can make a significant difference for achieving healthy screen time levels, and also have a
positive impact on relationships in the home. Examples include no devices at mealtimes, having a weekly
screen free day or a day off from social media. It is also very helpful to brainstorm some other activities that
children would like to do with their friends and family members instead of screen time. Of course, your
child may protest at first, but it never hurts to try and see how things go.
Making the healthy choice is not always the easy choice, but every small change to promote healthy levels
of screen time is a step in the right direction for the wellbeing and development of children. While "the earlier
the better" applies when making positive changes, it is never too late to start.
