Question 13:

a. Nora: That explains it. I nearly reposted the same story because the headline was infuriating, but the article had no named source and the date was from last year.

b. Liam: Not yet. I’m checking the source, the date, and a second report first. Getting angry fast is exactly how fake news wins.

c. Nora: You shared that story already? It’s all over our group chat, and people are arguing in the comments.

Question 14:

a. Ryan: That makes sense. So your plan is to build skills AI can’t easily copy, like storytelling and visual judgment?

b. Emma: I know, but I still want to study animation. Even if AI handles routine design, people still look for a human point of view.

c. Ryan: Are you really applying for that program? People keep saying AI could wipe out creative jobs within a decade.

d. Emma: Exactly, and I’m also learning motion tools now, so I can work with the technology instead of fearing it.

e. Ryan: Fair enough. Choosing the field and adapting with it sounds braver than picking a safe path you never wanted.

Question 15:

Dear Maya,

I hope you and your parents are doing well. How is school this term?

a. However, Grandma’s laughter when I mix languages at home has taught me to be more patient with my own "clumsy" identity.

b. For a while, I believed being brave meant choosing one side clearly, so I copied my classmates’ slang and stopped bringing my traditional lunch to school.

c. This change felt real last Friday when I wore our family’s traditional jacket while singing a pop song with my class, a moment that felt strangely honest.

d. Lately, I’ve realized that real courage isn't about picking a side to please others, but about keeping both parts of me alive, even if it confuses people

e. I used to think living between two cultures meant I belonged nowhere, but now it feels more like learning to stand in two rooms at once.

Best,

Lena

Question 16:

a. What makes his story memorable is not the success that followed, but the uncomfortable period when he had to work without the title that once defined him.

b. Years later, when he returned and helped rebuild Apple, people saw a triumph, but the deeper lesson had already appeared earlier.

c. Many people admire Steve Jobs for creating products that changed daily life, yet the most inspiring part of his life may be the moment he was pushed out of his own company.

d. During that setback, he started new projects, kept experimenting, and proved that failure had not emptied his imagination.

e. His story matters because it shows that losing status can force a person to rebuild identity from skill, curiosity, and courage rather than from public praise.

Question 17:

a. This habit becomes dangerous later, because in real life the hardest problems do not arrive with four options, a clear chapter title, or a teacher quietly hinting what matters most.

b. School often rewards students for producing correct answers quickly, which is useful up to a point, but it can also train them to wait for someone else to define the problem first.

c. Consequently, the students who keep growing are usually the ones who learn to ask sharper questions: What is missing here, who benefits, what evidence would change my mind, and why am I assuming this is normal before acting?

d. In an age of search engines and AI tools, information appears instantly, so the real advantage no longer belongs only to the person who remembers the most facts.

e. That is why lifelong learning is less about collecting endless answers and more about developing the courage to frame better questions before accepting convenient ones.
