What will cities of the future look like? There is not just one good answer.

year, but transport systems and their infrastructure should be improved to keep up with the (25) ________
transports.
And, if we want future cities to be smart cities, we need to consider smart high-rise buildings. The

buildings are designed with sustainable development. This means we need to consider different aspects of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
In the future, cities may see flying vehicles, mega bridges, and underground space. Those cities will be
controlled by the Internet and the development of technologies. Technology will also be used to create a new
quality of life in well-planned developments.
Transportation through tunnels will be more popular. Technology is much faster and cheaper today, so the
city of the future will see more solutions, such as an underground network of tunnels that could ship 600
million packages a year. Some cities are developing the above-ground tunnel travel system in which passengers
and cargo could be transported in shorter time.
The bridge of the future will do more than connect two points. An exciting example is that a skybridge will
offer everything from pedestrian and bike lanes as well as services for people on it. Future cities will see
skybridges as a large area with houses, offices, and restaurants.
The streets of the future city are smart. One good example is streetlights that react to what's going on
around them. For example, if a crowd is leaving a stadium at night, the lamps may brighten to light the way or
even warn a nearby ambulance.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 34 to 40.
I find it really exhilarating to think about the future. Technology is advancing so quickly that in 40 years,
who knows what amazing things we'll be able to do? Scientists say that by 2050, there will be over ten billion
people in the world, and technology will have improved so much that we'll have a lot more information about
diseases and maybe even cures. We'll all be living in eco-friendly houses, no longer burdened by exorbitant
electricity bills. And can you imagine? We might even be able to go on vacations to Mars!

Our daily lives will be filled with new technologies that help us with things we hate doing now. We'll
probably have robots in our homes called "House Robo's" that will help us with household chores like taking
out the trash, cooking, and cleaning the house. Even our kitchen gadgets like the fridge, cooker, microwave,
and dishwasher will be "robotic” and send us emails or texts when food is expired or running low. The fridge
will even have a camera inside, so when we're at the store, we can check what we need to buy.
They say that by 2050, we'll have regular health check-ups at home using digital devices. These devices
will scan our bodies to check if we're sick or if anything is wrong. If they find something, a "virtual doctor" in
the machine will figure out what it is and give us treatment right away. If we need medicine, it will be ordered
and sent to us automatically. If the health check shows that someone is overweight, it will send a message to the
household computer to change their diet and schedule gym sessions. With such swift intervention, people will
live significantly longer, as diseases and cancers will no longer pose existential threats. Moreover, rare medical
conditions of today will be better understood and readily curable.

Viet Nam, a lively and culturally rich nation, has been an active participant in the cultural integration
within the ASEAN community, with its diverse traditions, ethnic groups, and historical heritage, Viet Nam has
made significant contributions to the collective culture of the region.

taken part in regional festivals, exhibitions, and cultural events, showing the beauty and depth of Vietnamese
arts and traditions. Viet Nam's cuisine, with its distinctive flavours and culinary traditions, has also played a
role in cultural integration. Vietnamese dishes such as pho, banh mi, and spring rolls have become well-loved
and recognized in the region. Furthermore, Viet Nam's cultural integration in ASEAN has been strengthened
through educational and youth exchange programs. Vietnamese students and young professionals have
participated in academic and cultural exchange programs, fostering friendships and connections with peers from
other ASEAN countries.
Through cultural integration, Viet Nam has gained a better understanding and appreciation of the
cultures of other ASEAN countries. Vietnamese people have also had the opportunity to showcase their cultural

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Identity and the ways we define it are constantly shaped by history. Socio-cultural exchanges in the
region have helped establish a sense of a Southeast Asian identity.
In shaping ASEAN Identity, arts and culture have a significant role to play. Artistic and cultural
exchanges between Southeast Asian nations expose people to different worldviews and ways of life. They
allow ASEAN people to become aware of cultural similarities as well as differences. Discussions alone cannot
promote cultural understanding. What we need is to continuously take part in artistic and cultural activities and
exchanges to become appreciative of each other's society and culture. The art community has been leading such
exchanges for many decades. In visual arts, the countless festivals, biennales, and other collaborative activities
have brought together artists from different parts of Southeast Asian countries. These efforts have taken artistic
practices into a whole new level and resulted in an array of artistic works that stretches from one corner of

Southeast Asia to the other. Governments should play a facilitating role in this bottom-up process of regional
identity-making.
We begin with an awareness that each culture has been influenced by and have similarities with other
cultures. Hybridisation, resulting from borrowing and adoption of cultural elements of other societies, is a
historical fact. Having said these, ASEAN Member States are still very much culturally diverse. We should pay
serious attention to each other's cultural differences and specific cultural contexts to preserve national identities
while building regional harmony. We believe that such cultural diversity is not an obstacle to development. In
fact, we believe that cultural diversity is the foundation of sustainable development. ASEAN Member States'
distinct cultural practices allow each state to respond to complex sustainable development challenges such as
climate change, migration, rapid population growth, food insecurity, land degradation, war and conflict in
different ways. But our efforts can be complementary and can have spaces for collaboration. Our diverse
cultural expressions can be channelled to create cultural and creative industries. Everywhere in the world today,
cultural economy is on the rise. We need to invest in culture not only to improve people's economic welfare,
but also to create a more tolerant and diverse society.
To foster ASEAN identity, we need to make an effort to strengthen our regional cultural ecosystem. Our
regional identity depends on the preservation of the cultural identities of each ASEAN Member state. Hence,
each state must work to nurture its unique cultural expressions while collaborating with other nations to expand
cultural exchanges and link our cultural and creative industries.
