Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression were a leading cause of global health problems even before
the spread of COVID-19; however, they've gotten worse. Since the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety
and depression rates worldwide have increased by an overwhelming 25%. In the U.S, 4 in 10 adults have reported
symptoms of anxiety or depression during the pandemic, compared with 1 in 10 from January to June 2019.
Among the most affected are young adults and women. The surge in people struggling with mental illnesses has
coincided with gaps in mental care services as well.
Research suggests that the pandemic has exacerbated(làm trầm trọng) the impacts of loneliness. Additionally,
people's fear of missing out, also known as FOMO, hasn't decreased even since in-person social gatherings became
less frequent. But small daily actions - such as a short walk, break from social media or even a catnap - can add up
to have an impact on mental health. Separately, counselling(tư vấn), therapy(trị liệu) and medication(thuốc)
prescribed( đc kê) by health care providers are effective treatments for those experiencing mental illness.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
The average daily time spent online by adults increased by nearly an hour during the UK's spring lockdown(giãn
cách) when compared to(được so sánh) the previous year(năm trước), with numerous countries back under severe
pandemic(bệnh dịch) restrictions(giới hạn), many of us once again find ourselves questioning whether our heavy
reliance on technology is impacting our health.
It's true that digital devices have provided new means of work, education, connection, and entertainment during
lockdown. But the perceived pressure to be online, the tendency to procrastinate to avoid undertaking tasks, and
the use of digital platforms as a way to escape stress all have the potential to turn healthy behaviours into habits.
This repetitive(lặp lại) use can develop into addictive(gây nghiện) patterns, which can in turn affect a user's
well-being.
Digital addiction refers to the addictive and excessive use of digital devices. The design of digital platforms(nền
tảng) themselves contributes to this addictive use. Notifications, news feeds, likes and comments have all been
shown to contribute towards a battle for your attention, which leads users to increase the time they spend looking
at screens.
Screen time is an obvious measure of digital addiction, although researchers have noted that there is no simple
way to determine how much screen time one can experience before it becomes problematic. As such, there is a
continued lack of consensus on how we should think about and measure digital addiction.
During a global pandemic, when there often feels like no alternative to using Netflix, or video conferencing with
friends and family, screen time as an indicator of digital addiction is clearly ineffective. Nonetheless, research
conducted on preventing digital addiction does provide insights on how we can all engage with our digital
technologies in a healthier way during a lockdown.
