Question 13:

b. Nora: Did you see the test flight of the air taxi near the river today?

c. Nora: They said it will follow fixed routes and only fly in the daytime, so it might be manageable.

Question 14:

a. Maya: I’ve been answering work messages during dinner, and my son keeps noticing.

b. Ethan: Do you have to reply right away, or can you set a “quiet window” on your phone?

c. Ethan: You looked tired in the team call—everything okay at home?

d. Maya: Most of them aren’t urgent; I just worry my manager will think I’m slow.

e. Ethan: Try telling her you check the chat at 7 and 9, and use focus mode in between—it’s clear and still professional.

Question 15:

Dear Alex,

How’s your new semester going? I’m keeping busy with club meetings and homework.

a. So I started following a few reporters with opposite views and turned off “recommended” videos.

b. Last week our history teacher asked us to compare news stories, and my sources all sounded the same.

c. It feels healthier now, and our class discussions are less tense because I can explain where ideas come from.

d. That made me realize my feed was trapping me in a bubble, even though it looked “personal.”

e. I also shared a small list of links in our group chat, and some friends added theirs too.

Write back soon.

Best,
Jenny

Question 16:

a. When a highway or new farms cut through a forest, animals may not cross because traffic and open fields feel unsafe.

b. Over time, isolated groups can lose genetic diversity, which makes disease and climate stress harder to survive.

c. Habitat fragmentation happens when one large natural area is broken into smaller pieces.

d. Building wildlife bridges and maintaining connected green corridors can help reduce this problem without halting development.

e. I saw this near my town: a small monkey group stayed on one hill after a road was built, and fewer babies were born the next year.

Question 17:

a. In my class, some students hide their struggles because everyone’s posts show perfect grades, internships, and weekend trips.

b. Many teenagers feel pressure because they are expected to choose a “future-proof” path while also staying social and online.

c. This constant comparison can lead to late-night studying, less sleep, and the feeling that resting is “falling behind.”

d. With support from teachers and parents who accept learning curves and small failures, students are more likely to take healthy risks instead of chasing perfection.

e. A simple change that helped me was using screen-time limits before bed and writing goals in a shared planner with a friend each Sunday, so we check progress without judging.
