Question 13:

a.        Jonas: I know what you mean—my grandfather always said that ancient builders didn't just stack rocks; they captured their dreams and fears inside them forever.

b.        Maya: Standing here at Stonehenge, I can't shake the feeling that these stones are trying to tell us something we've forgotten how to hear.

c.        Maya: Maybe that's why I feel so small yet so connected at the same time, like I'm part of a conversation that started thousands of years ago.

Question 14:

a.        Lena: That's a fair point, and I've been thinking about volunteering at the community garden since it might help me meet people who actually care about this place.

b.        Lena: I've lived in this city for five years, but I still don't feel like I truly belong here because everyone seems too busy to connect with their neighbors.

c.        David: That's exactly how I found my sense of home here, because the moment I started helping others, strangers became friends and empty streets became familiar paths.

d.        Lena: Maybe modern cities don't automatically make us citizens, but they offer countless opportunities if we're willing to step outside our apartments and engage with the world around us.

e.        David: I understand your frustration, yet I believe that belonging isn't something the city gives you—it's something you create when you join local communities and participate in neighborhood events.

Dear Emma,

a.        Until I started paying attention to these small wonders, I never realized that adventure doesn't require traveling far from home.

b.        When I sat quietly near the old oak tree yesterday, I watched a family of ladybugs climb up the leaves while a curious squirrel observed me from above.

c.        Although I used to think my backyard was boring, I recently discovered that it's actually a tiny jungle full of amazing creatures.

d.        Since you've always loved nature documentaries, I believe you would be fascinated by the spiderweb that sparkles like diamonds whenever the morning sunlight touches it.

With excitement,

Z

Question 16:

a.        These forgotten heroes fought for women's rights in their communities, yet their names disappeared because historians often ignored ordinary people who created extraordinary change.

b.        Since schools rarely teach about these hidden figures, many students grow up believing that only a few individuals shaped the movement while thousands of others contributed nothing.

c.        If we want to honor their legacy properly, we must research their stories and share them widely so that future generations will never forget their important contributions.

d.        Although many people know about famous feminists like Susan B. Anthony, countless brave pioneers have been erased from our history books and forgotten by modern society.

e.        When we fail to remember these pioneers, we lose valuable lessons about courage and sacrifice that could inspire young activists who are fighting for equality today.

Question 17:

a.        Although we cannot actually control time, music gives us a powerful tool to shape our perception of it, and this explains why life feels richer when we surround ourselves with meaningful songs.

b.        When we listen to music that we truly enjoy, time seems to fly by quickly because our brains become deeply absorbed in the rhythm and melody.

c.        If you have ever waited in a boring queue without music, you probably noticed that time dragged painfully because your mind had nothing interesting to focus on.

d.        Scientists have discovered that fast-paced songs make us feel energetic and rushed, while slow ballads create a peaceful atmosphere where minutes stretch into what feels like hours.

e.        Many shops and restaurants play background music strategically, since they understand that the right soundtrack can make customers feel relaxed and encourage them to stay longer.
