Read the following passage about The Development of Multimedia Communication 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.
The field of multimedia communication has seen incredible growth in recent years, changing the way
people interact with information. With the advancement of technology, media now includes more than
just text, radio, and television. Multimedia communication involves the use of a combination of different
content forms, such as text, audio, video, and interactive elements, to convey messages to audiences in
engaging and effective ways. Today, people access multimedia content on various devices, including
smartphones, tablets, and computers, making it easier than ever to stay connected.
One of the most significant drivers of this change is the rise of the internet and digital platforms.
Social media, streaming services, and websites are at the forefront of delivering multimedia content,
allowing individuals to consume and create information in a variety of formats. Video-sharing platforms
like YouTube and social media sites such as Instagram and TikTok have made it possible for
everyone to share content with a global audience. As a result, businesses, educators, and governments
are increasingly using multimedia to connect with their audiences, whether through marketing campaigns,
online courses, or public service announcements.
Moreover, multimedia communication is not just about entertainment or education; it also plays an
essential role in social and political movements. Through videos, podcasts, and blogs, individuals can
raise awareness, mobilize others, and drive change in society. In fact, the power of multimedia
communication has helped shape public opinions on critical issues like climate change, human rights, and
social justice.
As the demand for multimedia content continues to rise, the field of communication is also evolving.
New technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are pushing the boundaries of
how media can be experienced. These innovations offer new opportunities for creating immersive and
interactive experiences, further blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds.

Read the following passage about innovative Approaches to Learning English 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.
[I] In today’s world, students are increasingly taking innovative approaches to learning English. [II]
While conventional methods like attending classes and using textbooks remain essential, many students
are exploring different avenues that fit their personal preferences and lifestyles. [III]Technology, in
particular, offers a wealth of resources to enhance learning. [IV]
One popular method is using mobile apps and online platforms that offer interactive lessons tailored
to individual levels. These apps often use gamification techniques to keep students engaged while helping
them build their vocabulary, grammar, and speaking skills. For example, Duolingo and Babbel are widely
used to help learners practice daily through bite-sized lessons.
Another approach that is gaining popularity is watching movies and TV shows in English. Many
students choose to watch their favourite films or series in the original language to improve their listening
skills and learn more about cultural nuances. Subtitles can also be used to aid comprehension and
reinforce new vocabulary.
In addition, some students take part in online conversation exchanges where they practice speaking
with native speakers. These exchanges, either through video calls or messaging platforms, help students
build confidence in their speaking abilities and gain familiarity with casual or colloquial expressions. As
English has become a global lingua franca, students are adapting their learning strategies to be more
effective and enjoyable. By embracing new technologies and learning methods, students not only
improve their language skills but also make the process more engaging and relevant to their lives.
