Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10.
The advice to exercise regularly is perhaps one of the most common recommendations for
maintaining good health. [I] It’s widely understood that physical activity is a fundamental
component of a healthy lifestyle, contributing significantly to overall well-being. [II] Doctors,
health organizations, and media outlets constantly advocate for incorporating exercise into our
daily routines. [III] However, despite this widespread knowledge, many people find it
challenging to consistently engage in physical activity due to busy schedules, lack of motivation,
or uncertainty about where to start. [IV] Understanding the extensive benefits might provide the
necessary encouragement.
Regular exercise offers numerous physical advantages that are crucial for long-term
health. Firstly, it plays a vital role in weight management by helping to burn calories and boost
metabolism. Secondly, it strengthens bones and muscles, reducing the risk of injuries and
conditions like osteoporosis later in life. Furthermore, consistent physical activity significantly
lowers the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes,
and some types of cancer. It directly improves heart health by strengthening the heart muscle,
improving blood circulation, and helping to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. All these
benefits contribute to a longer and healthier lifespan.
Beyond the physical aspects, the positive impact of exercise on mental and emotional
health is equally significant. Engaging in physical activity triggers the release of endorphins,
often called "feel-good" hormones, which naturally improve mood and reduce feelings of stress
and anxiety. Regular exercise is also linked to better sleep quality, helping individuals fall asleep
faster and enjoy deeper rest. Moreover, it enhances cognitive functions, including memory,
attention, and processing speed. Studies have shown that physically active individuals often have
a lower risk of developing depression and anxiety disorders, highlighting the profound
connection between physical movement and mental resilience.
In conclusion, integrating regular exercise into your life is an investment with invaluable
returns for both body and mind. It doesn't necessarily mean intense daily workouts; consistency
is more important than intensity, especially when starting. Finding an activity you genuinely
enjoy is key to maintaining consistency over time. Whether it's brisk walking, swimming,
dancing, or cycling, choosing something enjoyable makes it feel less like a chore and more like a
rewarding part of your day, paving the way for lasting health benefits.

Read the following passage about the impact of social media 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 17 to
24 .
Social media platforms have fundamentally reshaped how individuals interact and share
information globally. Sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok boast billions of users
combined, creating vast networks that transcend geographical boundaries. Initially conceived as
tools for connecting friends and family, these platforms have evolved into complex ecosystems
influencing communication styles, news consumption, and even social movements. The sheer
scale of user engagement makes social media a dominant force in contemporary digital life,
impacting various aspects of society daily.
One significant advantage is the unprecedented ability to maintain connections across long
distances and foster communities based on shared interests. People can instantly share life
updates, photos, and opinions, receiving immediate feedback. Their capacity to mobilize groups
quickly for social or political causes has also been demonstrated repeatedly. Furthermore, these
platforms offer valuable spaces for individuals from marginalized groups to find support and
express themselves, creating virtual communities that might not exist offline, enhancing feelings
of belonging for many users worldwide.
However, the pervasive nature of social media also presents considerable drawbacks. The
rapid spread of misinformation and "fake news" poses a serious challenge to informed public
discourse. Constant exposure to curated, often idealized, portrayals of others' lives can lead to
social comparison and negatively impact mental well-being. Concerns about data privacy and the
potential for online harassment or cyberbullying are also significant. The constant connectivity
can sometimes feel overwhelming, blurring the lines between private and public spheres in ways
that can be detrimental to personal peace.
Navigating this complex digital landscape requires critical thinking and media literacy
skills. Users need to evaluate information sources carefully and manage their online time
effectively to mitigate potential harms. Developing a healthy balance between online
interaction and real-world engagement is essential for overall well-being. As platforms
continue to evolve with new features and algorithms, understanding their influence and using
them responsibly remains a crucial task for individuals navigating the modern interconnected
world, ensuring technology serves rather than hinders human connection.
