Read the following passage about green energy 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.

As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become increasingly important to the future of our society. To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy, and two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.

(I) Solar power is all about harnessing the energy of the sun by using solar panels to convert sunlight into usable electricity. (II) Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private homes, since they require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. (III) However, the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions. (IV) This means that solar panels are often less useful if they are installed in places where sunny weather is not typical.

Wind power involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using large turbines. Wind power doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for private use since turbines require consistent care. However, wind farms can be installed on a large scale and are able to produce electricity continuously regardless of the time of day. This means that if there were more investments in wind power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even for whole regions.

Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, helping us cut down on pollution and slow climate change. Additionally, using renewable energy sources helps promote spending on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.

For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and infrastructure, but the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis and create a better and more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.

Read the following passage about remote work 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.

Working from home has become increasingly common, providing employees with greater flexibility and control over their work environments. Without the need for long commutes, people have more time for family, personal interests, or simply to rest. A personalized workspace at home can also lead to higher productivity, as individuals can adjust their surroundings to suit their needs. Many companies now support remote work, recognizing its benefits for both employee well-being and business outcomes.

However, working from home does bring certain challenges. For example, while remote work can boost productivity, some people find it hard to stay focused without the structure of an office setting. There's also a risk of isolation, as virtual meetings don’t always fully replace face-to-face interactions. However, companies are increasingly devising creative strategies to mitigate these drawbacks, using sophisticated collaboration tools and arranging virtual social activities to preserve a sense of team cohesion.

Another difficulty with working from home is the blurred line between work and personal life. With workspaces merged into the home environment, the temptation to check emails or tackle tasks outside of regular hours can lead to an “always-on” mentality. Setting clear schedules and defining specific working hours is essential to ensure a healthy balance.

Looking forward, remote work is likely to remain a popular choice, supported by ever-advancing technology. Many companies are considering hybrid models, allowing employees to split their time between home and office. This flexible approach can balance the productivity of remote work with the social and collaborative benefits of in-person interactions. As remote work continues to evolve, it will reshape traditional work culture, requiring adaptation from both businesses and employees.
