Question 14:

a. Owen: I’m nervous; what if he thinks we caused it? People usually record.

b. Maya: That guy just fell off his bike—should we run over?

c. Owen: Okay, I’ll phone emergency and tell others to give space.

d. Maya: Recording can help later, but first ask if he’s okay and call an ambulance; I’ll keep distance.

e. Maya: Great—if he agrees, you can note the plate number instead of filming his face.

Question 15:

Dear Anna,

a. Some influencers promoted expensive “healing bundles,” and the tips felt like the same script with different music.

b. To test what actually helps, I joined a free workshop at the community center, where a counselor taught breathing and a simple journaling routine.

c. Those small habits made my evenings calmer, even without fancy playlists, crystals, or paid challenges.

d. Lately I’ve been seeing short clips that promise to fix stress in three days, so I almost fell for the hype.

e. Now I treat the trend as a doorway, but I check who is trained, what evidence they use, and what I can practice safely on my own.

Question 16:

a. Teachers say fewer phones means fewer quick videos, fewer group-chat fights, and more attention in class.

b. If phones disappear completely, some students will hide them anyway, which turns the rule into a daily game.

c. Our school is debating a phone ban, and the hallway already feels louder when everyone stares at screens.

d. Yet in my math lesson we use a QR code to open practice quizzes, and I check a dictionary app when I read English.

e. A smarter plan is “phones face down” plus clear times to use them for learning, so the tool stays a tool.

Question 17:

a. The shift gradually taught him to greet unfamiliar customers, process QR payments efficiently, and remain composed when the queue stretched to the door.

b. In his first year of university, Minh accepted a weekend job at a small bakery because his scholarship was too limited to cover transport, books, and other basic expenses.

c. Taking a part-time job early can foster independence and resilience, but only when academic work remains the priority and employers respect reasonable limits.

d. Before long, however, he was watching recorded lectures at one in the morning, and his notes became increasingly disorganized because his mind was still stuck in work mode.

e. As a result, when the manager offered additional hours, Minh learned to decline politely, schedule fixed study blocks, and monitor his sleep as carefully as he tracked his spending.
