Question 13:

a.        Sarah: Well, now there are tourists everywhere, new cafes and hotels, and ticket prices tripled! The locals say it's good for business, but they miss the peaceful days.

b.        Tom: Really? What changed? I remember it was just a quiet little place with those ancient temples.

c.        Sarah: Hey Tom, have you been back to our old town lately? It's completely different since it got UNESCO status!

Question 14:

a.        Mr. Lee (Parent): That's true for my daughter, too, because if she doesn't watch what her friends watch, she feels left out of their conversations at school.

b.        Ms. Johnson: I understand your concern, but we should also recognize that this is how they build friendships, even though it's different from our generation's way of socializing.

c.        Mr. Lee: It's interesting that knowing about trending videos or memes has become so important, yet I worry they spend too much screen time just to fit in.

d.        Ms. Johnson (Teacher): I've noticed that my students always talk about the latest shows and games, and they seem really upset when they miss popular content.

e.        Ms. Johnson: Exactly! While we used to bond over playground games, these kids connect through shared streaming experiences and online gaming sessions.

Question 15:

Dear Professor Martinez,

a.        What surprised me most was that many African communities defined fun through communal celebrations, although Western societies tend to focus on individual entertainment and personal pleasure.

b.        Our research showed that Brazilians consider fun as something social and loud, whereas Scandinavian respondents preferred solitary outdoor experiences that connect them with nature.

c.        I'm writing to share our fascinating findings from the global study, which revealed that different cultures define "fun" in surprisingly diverse ways.

d.        I hope we can discuss these results when you visit next month, because I believe this data will change how we understand leisure across cultures.

e.        While Americans often associate fun with excitement and adventure, Japanese participants told us that they find enjoyment in quiet, peaceful activities like tea ceremonies.

Best regards,

Z

Question 16:

a.        Vietnam has been actively promoting multilingual education because the country recognizes the importance of regional integration within ASEAN.

b.        The government launched the National Foreign Language Project 2020, which aimed to improve English proficiency among students and workers, so they could compete better in the regional market.

c.        Although challenges remain in rural areas, Vietnam's multilingual approach has created more opportunities for young people, and it has strengthened cultural exchanges with neighboring countries.

d.        While Vietnamese remains the primary language, schools now teach English as a mandatory subject, and some institutions also offer Chinese, Japanese, or Korean programs.

e.        As ASEAN continues to grow economically, Vietnam's investment in language education will help the nation build stronger partnerships, yet it must also preserve its linguistic heritage and cultural identity.

Question 17:

a.        If we focus only on the Instagram-worthy moments, we miss the point, because genuine sustainability is about consistent daily actions rather than picture-perfect presentations that attract likes and followers.

b.        While social media influencers showcase perfectly organized pantries, real zero-waste living involves difficult choices, and it demands significant time for research and preparation.

c.        Many people share beautiful photos of mason jars and reusable bags on Instagram, but the zero-waste lifestyle requires much more than just aesthetic appeal.

d.        Although buying package-free products looks simple online, most people struggle to find local stores that offer bulk options, so they must travel far or compromise their goals.

e.        The true zero-waste journey includes uncomfortable conversations with vendors, learning to make household products from scratch, and accepting that perfection is impossible, yet every small effort still matters.
