1.The Boy and the Magic Paintbrush Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Liang who
loved to draw. He would spend hours sketching on the ground with sticks, dreaming of creating
beautiful paintings. One day, he helped an old man who had fallen on the road, and in return, the
man gifted him a magic paintbrush. The man told him, “Whatever you paint with this brush will
come to life.”

Liang was overjoyed and immediately began painting. First, he painted food for his family, who had
long been starving. Then, he painted a house, so they no longer had to sleep outside. News of his
magical gift spread, and soon a greedy man in the village heard about it. The man kidnapped Liang
and demanded that he paint him a mountain of gold.

Reluctantly, Liang agreed but painted a stormy sea around the mountain instead. When the greedy
man tried to reach the gold, he was swept away by the waves. Liang returned to his village, using his

6.The Clever Crow Once upon a time, in a dry and arid land, there lived a crow who was desperately
thirsty. One scorching summer afternoon, the crow flew over the fields and meadows in search of
water. But to his dismay, every pond and stream he visited had dried up.

As the crow was about to give up, he spotted a pitcher lying near a deserted house. Hopeful, he
swooped down and peeked inside. To his relief, there was a small amount of water at the bottom of
the pitcher. However, the neck of the pitcher was narrow, and the water was too low for the crow to
reach with his beak.

The clever crow thought hard and soon devised a plan. He began searching the ground for pebbles.
One by one, he picked them up and dropped them into the pitcher. Slowly but surely, the water level
rose as the pebbles displaced the water.

11.The Golden Touch Once upon a time, there was a wealthy king named Midas who loved gold
more than anything else in the world. He believed that the more gold he had, the happier he would
be. One day, while walking in his garden, he met a mysterious stranger who offered to grant him one
wish. Without hesitation, King Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold.

power by touching a stone, which instantly turned into gold. Excited, he touched the flowers in his

20.Should Plastic Bags Be Banned? Plastic bags are widely used around the world, but they have a
significant environmental impact. Supporters of a plastic bag ban argue that these bags contribute
heavily to pollution. Since plastic does not decompose, it remains in landfills and oceans for
hundreds of years, harming wildlife and disrupting ecosystems. Banning plastic bags would help
reduce waste and protect the environment.

Another reason to ban plastic bags is that they consume valuable resources. Plastics are made from
petroleum, a non-renewable resource. The production of plastic bags uses large amounts of energy,
and once discarded, they contribute to the depletion of this finite resource.

On the other hand, opponents argue that plastic bags are convenient and affordable. They are
lightweight, waterproof, and can be used for various purposes. Many people reuse plastic bags,
which helps reduce waste to some extent. Additionally, plastic bag manufacturers argue that
banning plastic bags would hurt their industry and lead to job losses.

In conclusion, while plastic bags offer convenience, their environmental impact cannot be ignored.
Implementing a ban on plastic bags would encourage people to switch to reusable alternatives,
ultimately benefiting the planet and conserving resources.

What is the main idea of the passage?

(2.5 Poin)

Plastic bags are essential for daily life.

Plastic bags help save the environment.

Plastic bags should be banned for environmental reasons.

Reusable bags are more harmful than plastic bags.

Plastic bags decompose easily.

and once discarded, they contribute to the depletion of this finite resource.

On the other hand, opponents argue that plastic bags are convenient and affordable. They are
lightweight, waterproof, and can be used for various purposes. Many people reuse plastic bags,
which helps reduce waste to some extent. Additionally, plastic bag manufacturers argue that
banning plastic bags would hurt their industry and lead to job losses.

In conclusion, while plastic bags offer convenience, their environmental impact cannot be ignored.
Implementing a ban on plastic bags would encourage people to switch to reusable alternatives,
ultimately benefiting the planet and conserving resources.

24.Should Technology Replace Traditional Teaching Methods? In today’s world, technology has
become an integral part of education. Many schools and universities have embraced digital tools like
tablets, smart boards, and online learning platforms to aid teaching and learning. Supporters of
technology in education argue that it makes learning more accessible, engaging, and efficient. With
the internet, students have access to a vast amount of information that can enhance their
understanding of any subject.

One of the main advantages of using technology in education is that it caters to different learning
styles. Some students learn better visually, while others understand concepts better through
interactive activities. Technology allows teachers to diversify their teaching approaches, creating a
more inclusive classroom environment. Additionally, digital tools make it easier for teachers to track
students’ progress and adapt lessons to meet individual needs.

However, there are concerns about relying too heavily on technology in education. Critics argue that
technology can never fully replace the human interaction that traditional teaching provides. In a
traditional classroom, teachers can give immediate feedback, observe non-verbal cues, and foster a
personal connection with students. This human element is vital for building students’ confidence,
motivation, and critical thinking skills.
 Furthermore, excessive use of technology can lead to issues like screen addiction, reduced attention
spans, and a lack of interpersonal skills. When students spend too much time on screens, they may
struggle with face-to-face communication and social interactions. Technology also tends to limit
physical activity, which is important for children’s overall well-being.

In conclusion, while technology has many benefits for education, it should be used as a supplement
rather than a replacement for traditional teaching methods. The best approach is a balanced one
that incorporates technology while maintaining the human touch that teachers bring to the
classroom. By doing so, educators can maximize the benefits of both methods, creating a well-
rounded learning experience for students.
