No matter what stage of life you are in - whether you're in school, at university, or working full-
time-continuing to learn new things is essential. Most people focus on subjects related to their jobs,
studies, or hobbies, which is important. However, it's equally valuable to explore areas outside your
expertise. Expanding your knowledge and perspective is beneficial at any age, as learning is a lifelong
journey with no limits.
Making time for new challenges, like learning a language, improving computer skills, or trying
creative hobbies like painting, can bring excitement to your life. These experiences not only enrich your
personal growth but also allow you to see the world in fresh and interesting ways. Stepping out of your
comfort zone can make life more enjoyable and break up the monotony of routine.

adaptability, increase confidence when facing challenges, and uncover hidden interests or talents. These
discoveries may open doors to new career paths, hobbies, or social connections. By embracing lifelong
learning, you ensure continuous growth and make life more fulfilling and exciting.
 If you have a busy schedule, online courses are an excellent option. They provide flexibility, letting
you study from home and set your own pace. This convenience makes it easier to fit learning into your
daily life, whether you want to develop professionally or pursue a new hobby. Keep learning - it's the

Read the following passage about generational divides in the workplace and mark the letter A, B, C
or D to indicate the best answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Demographic shifts are becoming a critical challenge for organisations, as the U.S. working-age
population (ages 16-64) is shrinking at an unprecedented rate. Unlike after World War II, when the baby
boom revitalised the workforce, no similar population surge is expected. Generation Z, which follows
the Millennials, is three million people smaller, and Generation Alpha is predicted to be even
smaller. This reduction in younger workers poses a significant issue for companies, many of which laid
off older employees during the pandemic without considering the potential shortage of replacements.
These early retirements also led to the loss of valuable institutional memory, expertise, and loyalty that
younger workers alone cannot easily replace.
Globally, the situation is further compounded by population aging, driven by falling birth rates and
longer life expectancy. [I] By 2034, in many countries, including large economies like Japan, Korea,
and across Europe, people over 65 will outnumber those under 18. [II] The U.S. is also seeing
population declines in regions where deaths outnumber births. [III] This situation makes the need to
retain older workers even more pressing, particularly in areas where immigration isn't offsetting
population losses. [IV]
For businesses to navigate this demographic shift, traditional employment practices must evolve.
More than 80% of global leaders acknowledge that a multigenerational workforce is crucial for growth,
yet fewer than half of companies incorporate age diversity into their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
(DEI) strategies. Organisations must rethink their approaches to building a workforce that includes
older employees to remain operationally effective and competitive.
Inclusive design can help businesses retain older workers by offering more flexible working
arrangements, such as phased retirement, remote work, or compressed schedules. Compensation
strategies that offer benefits like caregiving leave and retirement savings programmes also appeal to
employees across generations. Workplace design adjustments improving ergonomics, lighting, and
overall accessibility - can enhance retention by improving employees' well-being and productivity.
To foster multigenerational collaboration, companies should promote reverse mentoring, where
younger and older workers learn from each other, and focus on building trust. Managers who appreciate
the contributions of employees across generations can create a psychologically safe environment that
encourages innovation and collective problem-solving, vital for long-term business resilience.

Question 39. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
A. Generation Alpha is smaller than Millennials and Generation Z, which could impact the future

B. Generation Z is smaller than Millennials, and Generation Alpha is predicted to be even smaller.
C. The size of Generation Z is to be much smaller, but Generation Alpha is thought to be larger.
D. Millennials are a smaller generation, but Generation Alpha and Generation Z will both be larger
