Read the following passage about debate corner 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.

Digital media is any form of media that is created, viewed, and distributed via electronic devices.
Examples of digital media include websites, social media, videos, video games, digital advertising,
software, and electronic books. With the development of technology and smart devices in recent years,
digital media saw a sharp rise. This raises the question of whether digital media will replace traditional
media such as printed newspapers, broadcast TV, and radio. Below are two opinion pieces sent to our
Debate Corner this week.

Nowadays, it is much easier and more convenient to access information via digital media. Most digital
content is also freely accessible. All it takes is a few clicks, and you can read the latest news, watch
videos, or see online adverts. In addition, digital media forms are more interactive. For example,
customers can provide instant feedback, which can be used to solve any problems. In return, almost
every organisation can reach its target customers easily via digital media. Furthermore, digital media is
more flexible since information can be updated easily and frequently. By contrast, articles in printed
newspapers or adverts on TV cannot be changed immediately. With more than 75 million social media
users in Viet Nam and the number is increasing, it will not be long before traditional media becomes a
thing of the past. - Minh Quang

Digital media is very convenient, but its strengths are also its own weaknesses. Since anyone with
access to computers and the Internet can post or share information online, it raises the question of how
credible it is. On the other hand, traditional media offers information from reliable sources that are
fact-checked. Moreover, let us not forget that digital media relies on the Internet and smart devices to
work well. There are still remote or disadvantaged areas in Viet Nam where access to
technology is limited or too expensive. Many people also still struggle with technology. So although
digital media is on the rise, traditional media such as printed newspapers, broadcast TV, and radio is
here to stay. - Pham Hoa
