Question 13:

Question 14:

a. Sophie: The current fines aren’t light, but serious crashes still happen, so the city wants tougher penalties for repeat offenders.

b. Sophie: The city is considering raising penalties further for drunk driving and running red lights.

c. Sophie: Yes—more cameras and clear public reports, and the money would support road safety and late-night buses for workers.

d. Max: I get the goal, but if enforcement isn’t fair, low-income workers could be punished more than rich drivers.

e. Max: Will they add cameras and publish results? If not, people may feel it’s more about revenue than safety.

Question 15:

Dear Lucy,

a. I ended up borrowing a thick paper novel, and the quiet weight of it kept my hands off other apps.

b. After two weeks, I noticed I could picture scenes clearly, because I wasn’t scrolling or jumping to notifications.

c. My eyes were tired from screens, so I started reading on my phone during the bus ride home.

d. Now I still use e-books for quick research, but I save long stories for paper—usually on calm weekends.

e. It was convenient and cheap, but I kept checking messages, which broke the story into pieces.

Question 16:

a. While this idea may sound beneficial, not all students are in the same situation: some may enjoy training, but others already have tutoring, part-time jobs, family responsibilities, or long commutes.

b. Forcing everyone to take part in one sport can create extra pressure, especially for beginners or shy students.

c. A more practical solution would be to provide weekly activity time with a range of options, such as dance, badminton, swimming, walking clubs, or stretching.

d. Many schools are considering requiring every student to join a sport in order to improve fitness, discipline, and school spirit.

e. With flexible choices and fair assessment, schools can encourage students to stay active regularly while still promoting teamwork and confidence.

Question 17:

a. That approach supports mental health without acting like kids will never find a workaround, and it keeps trust stronger than fear at home.

b. Some parents push for strict social media limits because short videos, comments, and “likes” can reshape self-esteem overnight.

c. If the rule is only “two hours,” many kids just hide accounts or switch apps, so the problem doesn’t disappear—it becomes harder to see.

d. Boundaries still matter, but they work best with real digital skills: turning off autoplay, using focus mode, curating feeds, and recognizing ads or edited images.

e. Schools can back this up by teaching how to report harmful content, practice kind online behavior, and offering offline clubs so free time isn’t just empty silence.
