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 29 to 33.
International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8th, is a time to honor women’s progress
and advocate for real change towards gender equality. This day, rooted in a 1908 demonstration
where 15,000 women in New York City stood united for equal rights, better pay, shorter hours,
and voting rights, has grown into a worldwide movement. Clara Zetkin, at a meeting in 1910,
suggested a special day each year to focus on women’s rights, leading to the first International
Women’s Day in 1911.
Despite some beliefs that women have equal chances as men, the reality often tells a different
story. Girls worldwide face more household duties than boys and are more likely to miss out on
school. In many countries, equal education for both genders is not guaranteed, and many girls are
married off young, which can force them to end school early, lead to early pregnancy together
with other health issues, and increase the chance of domestic violence.
On International Women’s Day, people participate in activities that raise awareness and call
for gender equality. Wearing purple, a color of women’s rights history, is common. It is also a
day when women are celebrated with gifts and social recognition in some places.
The journey towards full gender equality continues to face challenges. Yet, women’s groups
across the globe remain strong and active, with younger women and teenagers adding their voices
and energy to the cause. They are organizing, speaking out, and urging a shift in how we view
and act towards each other regarding gender roles.
(Adapted from https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/)

A. That women should wear purple to show unity

B. That a global protest for women’s rights be organized

C. That an international day each year be dedicated to women’s rights

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 34 to 40.
Since the birth of the car in 1886, transport in big cities has changed a lot. And it is no
wonder that many experts think that there will be extraordinary changes in the next few decades.
As technology develops, highways, skylines, subways will be all transformed. Smarter
roadways and highways in cities outfitted with loT sensors will process all kinds of data in real
time and alert users of the best transport options. Weather, crashes, traffic conditions will be
communicated to users and smart stops will be found everywhere providing renewable energy,
green hydrogen or even greener energy, ensuring efficiency and safety on every highway.
Tunnels will also be a smart choice because of the reduction of traffic congestion. Underground
roads will be built in 3D with a lift system which will take vehicles deep underground and will
allow traffic to attain the greatest speed without intersections.
There will also be innovations in the sky. Air taxis are not a new idea, but in the future they
will be completely environment-friendly. Aviation gasoline will be no longer used. Green energy
will be in place and cost-effective air taxis will enable people to travel from one busy urban city
to another in record time.
New technologies such as Al and the rollout of 5G will pave the way for fully autonomous
innovation. Cars will not be the only thing to go autonomous. Freight trucks, cargo vehicles, air
taxis will all benefit from this technology and that is why the term ‘driver’ will become extinct.
Transport will go green. Electric or hydrogen power will be mainstream. There will still be
issues to solve such as safety, speed and cost, and of course governments will need to make new
traffic laws.
 (Adapted from Friends Global)

The dustbin is full to the top with coloured plastic. In fact, it is so full that it is difficult to put the
lid on. But the Strauss family, who own this dirty, old dustbin, are very proud of it. Why?
Because it contains all the family’s rubbish for a whole year!
Two years ago, this family read an article about plastic bags and how they cause pollution and
harm sea creatures. They decided to stop using plastic bags completely. Now, when they buy
food, they reuse their own bags each time. They recycle as much as they can - glass bottles,
paper, cardboard, cans - and they simply do not buy things if they cannot recycle the packaging.
The family are keeping a record of their lifestyle on their website. They hope that other people
will read it and reduce their waste. If everyone recycled a bit more, it would make the
environment better.

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best
method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the
language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language
wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other
people. In Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning
is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make
big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is
never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I
think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to
spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is
the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your
opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside
the class.

 B. There are no Italians in Britain.
C. The language schools are better.
D. The school fee is affordable.

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
People have been asking this question for centuries, but only recently have scientists and
psychologists joined the debate. Apparently, our genes (24)________ an important part in how
happy we feel. And while money and material possessions can lift our spirits for a short time, it
scents the real key to happiness is life experiences. Buying new clothes or the latest electronic
device may make us feel on (25)________ of the world for a short time, but after a while, the
feeling starts to fade. We get used to seeing our possessions, and our happiness loses its shine.

the actual experience, they give us memories (26) ________we keep during our whole lifetime.

Some American high schools have a dropout rate of up to 50%. There are many reasons for
students leaving school: For two thirds of the dropouts, motivation is the problem. They can’t
just work hard enough. Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they
could not catch up any more. Many said that they were not prepared well enough in their earlier
school. For a third of them getting a job was more important than finishing school. High school
dropouts have more problems in society and in their future lives. They are more likely to be
unemployed or live in poverty. There is also a big difference in income if you compare high
school dropouts with graduates. According to data by the US Census bureau Americans with a
bachelor’s degree earn about $50,000, those with a high school diploma about S28,000 and
dropouts only about $20,000. Many students are unaware of the consequences of dropping out of
school. They often demand better teachers, more lessons to catch up in subjects and more help
with learning problems.
Some schools have adopted to this situation. They offer evening classes or allow students to come
back at a later age.

FOMO
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night. You
aren't able to do your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities unless you sleep well. I’m
sure you already know that you should go to bed at a reasonable hour. Most experts agree that the
optimum number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I
can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than
that - and in some cases it will be affecting your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teachers' magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in
Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem, They may go to
bed and get up at appropriate times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the
night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon: FOMO - fear
of missing out !.
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend to wake up
during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part
in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All
this while they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report reveals some worrying statistics that
I'd like to share with you:
- 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake
up at night once a week for the same reason.
- One in three students are constantly tired and unable to function to their full capacity.
- Students who use social media during the night are more likely to suffer from depression
and anxiety.
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Switch off your
devices at night.. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the
morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important.
