Question 13:

a. Noah: Good call. Send me your route later, and I’ll share the flooded streets our class group has been avoiding.

b. Noah: The storm alert just popped up again. Are you still cycling to the library room?

c. Emma: No. The wind was so strong this morning that I nearly lost control, so I booked a bus instead.

Question 14:

a. Ben: The cleaners found piles of plastic cups there after the last event, and some blew into the canal behind the gym.

b. Ben: Yes, and the council also wants each class to borrow washable jars from the cafeteria.

c. Ava: Why did the student council cancel the food fair booth near the school gate?

d. Ava: I like that plan. It cuts waste without turning the fair into something boring.

e. Ava: That makes sense. Could we still sell drinks if students bring their own bottles?

Question 15:

Dear Customer Service Team,

I hope you are doing well.

a. Because I need the speaker for an event next weekend, I would like to ask whether I can exchange it for a working one as soon as possible.

b. I am writing about the wireless speaker I ordered from your online store three days ago.

c. I charged it fully and followed the instructions in the box, but the sound kept cutting out after only a few minutes.

d. This problem was disappointing because the product description promised clear sound and long battery life.

e. I have attached my order number and a short video of the problem, so I hope your team can help me resolve this quickly.

Best regards,

Emma Brown

Question 16:

a. What bothered me most was not the ad itself but the feeling that a private thought had quietly turned into a product someone could sell back to me.

b. I closed the tab, checked my privacy settings, and later noticed that several apps were still linked to the same account I had made years ago.

c. After that, I stopped treating those permission boxes as boring details, because they clearly shape how much of my daily life strangers can map.

d. Last month I searched for a birthday gift for my brother on my home laptop, and by lunch the next day my phone was full of matching ads from stores I had never opened there.

e. The moment felt strange rather than helpful, especially because I had not typed the product name on my phone or spoken about it near anyone.

Question 17:

a. In response, many residents began carrying cloth bags not because they suddenly wanted an eco-friendly identity, but because wet paper packaging tore on the walk home and replacing spoiled food cost money.

b. A similar pattern appeared at the refill shop nearby, where customers first came to save money on soap and rice, then slowly became more willing to reuse jars, compare labels, and waste less.

c. This suggests that green living often spreads through convenience, comfort, and visible savings, which can be more persuasive than distant warnings about the planet.

d. In my neighborhood, climate change became easier to notice after the rainy season started arriving in short, intense bursts that flooded the market street and spoiled vegetables faster than before.

e. Those practical choices did not solve the weather problem, yet they changed daily habits in a way that speeches alone rarely manage.
