Read the following passage about sustainable tourism 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.

Sustainable tourism aims to minimize the negative impacts of travel while maximizing benefits for local communities, cultures, and environments. Unlike mass tourism, which often prioritizes volume and profit, sustainable practices focus on long-term well-being. This approach recognizes that natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and local economies are valuable assets that need protection. Key principles include conserving resources, supporting local businesses, respecting local customs, and ensuring that tourism contributes positively to the destinations visited, such as fragile ecosystems or historical sites.

The benefits of adopting sustainable tourism are significant. Environmentally, it helps protect biodiversity and reduce pollution and waste generated by tourist activities. Economically, it ensures that revenue stays within the local community, supporting small enterprises and creating fair employment opportunities. Its focus on authentic cultural experiences also helps preserve local traditions and crafts, offering visitors deeper, more meaningful interactions. This approach fosters mutual respect between hosts and guests, enhancing the overall travel experience for everyone involved and promoting cross-cultural understanding.

However, implementing truly sustainable tourism faces several challenges. Balancing economic development with conservation requires careful planning and regulation, which can be difficult to enforce. "Greenwashing," where businesses falsely market themselves as sustainable, can mislead consumers and undermine genuine efforts. Educating tourists about responsible behavior and managing visitor numbers to prevent overcrowding in popular destinations like Venice or Machu Picchu remain ongoing struggles. Furthermore, the initial investment required for sustainable infrastructure can be prohibitive for smaller communities or businesses.

Despite these difficulties, the movement towards sustainable travel is growing. Consumers are increasingly aware of their impact and seeking more responsible options. Governments and international organizations are developing frameworks and certifications to guide the industry. Innovations in eco-friendly transport and accommodation are also emerging. Ultimately, achieving sustainability in tourism requires a collaborative effort from travelers, businesses, and policymakers to ensure that exploring our world does not come at the cost of damaging it for future generations.

Read the following passage about the impact of social media on teenagers 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 31 to 40.

Social media platforms have become deeply integrated into the daily lives of many people worldwide. (I) These networks offer unprecedented opportunities for connection and information sharing, but they also present a unique set of challenges. (II) For many young people, platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are primary tools for communication and self-expression. (III) Understanding both the positive and negative impacts is crucial for navigating this digital landscape effectively. (IV)

On the one hand, social media provides significant benefits. It allows teenagers to maintain friendships, especially with those who live far away, and to connect with others who share similar interests, fostering a sense of community and belonging. These platforms can be valuable sources of information and news, exposing young users to diverse perspectives and current events. Furthermore, they offer spaces for creativity and self-discovery, enabling teens to share their talents, opinions, and experiences with a potentially global audience. Social media can also be a powerful tool for social and political engagement, allowing young people to learn about and participate in causes they care about.

However, the downsides of social media use among adolescents are considerable and concerning. Cyberbullying, or online harassment, is a significant risk, potentially causing severe emotional distress. Constant exposure to carefully curated and often idealized images of others can lead to social comparison, negatively impacting self-esteem and body image. This comparison culture may contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression. Moreover, the addictive nature of social media, designed to keep users engaged for extended periods, can interfere with sleep, homework, and face-to-face interactions. Concerns about privacy and the potential misuse of personal data are also valid issues associated with heavy usage.

Ultimately, achieving a healthy relationship with social media involves mindful usage and balance. It requires recognizing potential pitfalls while harnessing the positive aspects. Open communication between teenagers, parents, and educators about online experiences is vital. Developing digital literacy skills—such as critically evaluating information and understanding privacy settings—empowers teens to use these powerful tools responsibly and protect their well-being in an increasingly connected world. Finding offline hobbies and maintaining real-world connections remain essential for overall adolescent development.

Question 31.

Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?

It is undeniable that their presence is ubiquitous in modern youth culture.

        A. (III)        B. (II)        C. (I)        D. (IV)

Question 32.

The phrase "integrated into" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

        A. removed from        B. separated from        C. combined with        D. interested in

Question 33.

The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

        A. current events        B. young users        C. diverse perspectives        D. platforms

Question 34.

According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a positive effect of social media?

A. Connecting with people who have similar hobbies.

B. Improving academic performance.

C. Providing access to information.

D. Offering opportunities for creative expression.

Question 35.

Which of the following best serves as the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. Social media usage among teens has several significant negative consequences.

B. Social media primarily causes emotional distress through cyberbullying.

C. Idealized images on social media only affect body image negatively.

D. The main problem with social media is its addictive design.

Question 36.

The word "Constant" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.

        A. Intermittent        B. Permanent        C. Continuous        D. Frequent

Question 37.

Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. Social media offers only challenges and no real benefits for most of the teenagers.

B. Developing digital literacy is suggested as a way to use social media responsibly.

C. Social comparison on social media always leads to severe depression.

D. Using social media guarantees connection with people far away.

Question 38.

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

Ultimately, achieving a healthy relationship with social media involves mindful usage and balance.

A. Social media relationships are healthier if they are balanced with mindful activities.

B. In the end, social media use should be avoided completely to stay healthy.

C. Finally, using social media carefully and not excessively is key to a positive experience.

D. It is ultimately impossible to have a healthy relationship with social media platforms.

Question 39.

What can be inferred from the passage about managing teenagers' social media use?

A. The negative impacts of social media outweigh any potential benefits.

B. Teenagers require guidance and skill development to navigate social media safely.

C. Strict bans on social media are the most effective solution.

D. Social media platforms themselves are solely responsible for every user well-being.

Question 40.

What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To persuade teenagers to delete their social media accounts.

B. To provide a detailed guide on how to become more popular on social media.

C. To compare the features of different social media platforms.

D. To discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of social media for teenagers.

Chào Emma,

Tớ rất háo hức về chuyến đi sắp tới của chúng mình vào tháng tới, đặc biệt là vì đây sẽ là lần đầu tiên chúng ta cùng nhau du lịch đến một địa điểm thú vị như vậy! Chắc chắn sẽ tuyệt vời lắm khi cùng nhau khám phá một thành phố hoàn toàn mới và tìm hiểu tất cả những điều độc đáo mà nó mang lại. À này, cậu đã nghĩ xem mình muốn ưu tiên tham quan những địa điểm hoặc di tích cụ thể nào trong suốt chuyến đi chưa? Tiện thể, tớ đã tìm hiểu sơ bộ về khách sạn và tìm được vài lựa chọn đầy hứa hẹn với những đánh giá xuất sắc và giá cả hợp lý đấy. Để tránh mọi căng thẳng vào phút cuối, chúng mình nên đặt chỗ ở sớm, có lẽ là trong vài ngày tới, để đảm bảo có được những ưu đãi tốt nhất.

Best regards,

Sophie

Chúc cậu mọi điều tốt đẹp,

Sophie

Các nghiên cứu khoa học gần đây đã liên tục chỉ ra rằng sự lạc quan không chỉ cải thiện sức khỏe tinh thần mà còn có thể tác động tích cực đến các kết quả sức khỏe thể chất. Ví dụ, người lạc quan thường được quan sát thấy phục hồi nhanh hơn sau bệnh tật và chấn thương so với những người bi quan hơn. Do đó, duy trì một thái độ lạc quan, ngay cả trong những hoàn cảnh khó khăn, được coi là yếu tố thiết yếu để có một cuộc sống hạnh phúc và trọn vẹn hơn. Thêm vào đó, việc tuân thủ một chế độ ăn uống cân bằng, giàu dinh dưỡng và tham gia vào các hoạt động thể chất thường xuyên đã được chứng minh là có khả năng nâng cao đáng kể sức khỏe tổng thể và khả năng phục hồi của một người. Tóm lại, việc kết hợp sự lạc quan với các thói quen sống lành mạnh, bao gồm dinh dưỡng hợp lý và các bài tập thể dục đều đặn, có thể cải thiện đáng kể cả sức khỏe tinh thần và thể chất.
