Question 13:

a. Liam: That sounds better. Our history teacher said the podcast task was meant to replace one long lecture, not add more screen time.

b. Nora: I used the AI note app for science, but for history I worked in the library and recorded ideas with my phone.

c. Liam: Did technology help, or did you still choose a quieter way to study?

Question 14:

a. Ella: The old trees near the gate gave us shade, but two were removed after last summer’s heat and storms damaged them badly.

b. Ryan: I wondered why the playground feels hotter now, especially in the afternoon.

c. Ryan: That explains it. Could the school plant smaller native trees that can survive longer dry periods?

d. Ella: The eco-club suggested that, and the principal said the new garden plan will include them next term.

e. Ryan: Good. It would help with heat and also show how climate change is affecting places we use every day.

Question 15:

Dear Students,

How are things at school this week?

a. Because that message looked routine, several students entered their passwords on a fake page that copied the school portal almost perfectly.

b. If you receive a login request after school hours, please pause and check the sender address before opening any link.

c. We are writing after a recent incident involving an email that claimed students had to confirm their accounts immediately.

d. To reduce further risk, the school has reset affected accounts and added a short guide on protecting personal data to the student dashboard.

e. That extra step may feel slow, but it is safer than sharing private details with a site designed to collect them.

Best regards,

IT Office

Question 16:

a. That change is not always obvious at first, because the music may still sound traditional while the performance becomes shorter, brighter, and easier to film.

b. At last month’s cultural fair, our town invited a folk dance group, but many students paid more attention when the show became a fast social media clip.

c. Globalization helps traditional culture travel further, yet it also encourages local events to adjust for visitors and online audiences.

d. As a result, younger viewers may remember the edited version more clearly than the full story, costume meaning, or ritual behind it.

e. This does not mean traditions are disappearing; it means communities need ways to share them widely without losing the depth that gave them value.

Question 17:

a. The journey felt light-hearted at first, yet this mood shifted when we arrived to find that one tent pole was missing, turning what seemed like a simple setup into a moment of confusion.

b. By the end of the night, the campsite stood secure, and the experience itself became a reminder that the trip mattered not for its comfort, but for how we faced difficulties together.

c. With daylight fading, frustration briefly surfaced, but the group quickly gathered to rethink the situation and combine materials from other tents.

d. That small problem unexpectedly strengthened our cooperation, as shared effort replaced stress and laughter gradually returned.

e. After the final exam ended, a long-anticipated sense of freedom settled in, which led my friend and me to plan a camping trip as a way to release months of academic pressure.
