Paragraph 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not
too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that
technology intersects with teen friendships and the results show that 57 percent of teens have
made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital
friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their
day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily
basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships
day-to-day. 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social
media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of
communication — almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with
their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining
friendships) in the gaming world - 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with
online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that playing
makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or gamers they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity - 62
percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new
friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the
negative consequences - 21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts

they see on social media - teens also have found support and connection through various platforms.
In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media
platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with
current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are
more likely to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing
"drama among their friends on social media."

A new report says the number of young people without a job is still very high in many countries. There are
currently 73 million people around the world aged 15-24 who want to work but cannot find a job. The
International Labour Organization (ILO) said that although youth unemployment is coming down in rich
countries, it is rising in most of Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Brazil. The youth unemployment
rate in China increased from 9.3 per cent in 2010 to 10.6 per cent last year. Economists say it will be 11.1
per cent in 2016. In Brazil, the figure for youth unemployment was 14 per cent at the beginning of this
year, but is now almost 16 per cent. The ILO warns that youth unemployment worldwide is set to rise.
The ILO said it is difficult for many young people who are looking for work. It said: "It's still not easy
to be young and starting out in today's labour market." It is particularly bad for many young women. The
highest rate of youth unemployment around the world is for women in the Middle East and North Africa.
This figure is around 45 per cent. There are many reasons for the gloomy figures for youth unemployment.
One major factor is the global financial collapse of 2008. Many countries have still not recovered from
that. The ILO says youth unemployment is not just important for a country's economy. It also affects
health, social unrest and levels of people's happiness.

Navigating adolescence successfully requires more than just academic knowledge; it demands the
development of essential life skills that empower teens to become competent, resilient, and self-reliant
adults. These skills serve as the foundation for personal growth, healthy relationships, and professional
success in the future.
First and foremost, effective communication is pivotal. It encompasses not just the ability to express
thoughts and feelings clearly but also the skill of active listening. Understanding and being understood
form the cornerstone of all human interactions, whether in personal relationships or in the workplace.
Critical thinking is another indispensable skill, enabling teens to analyze information, discern fact
from opinion, and make reasoned decisions. In an era dominated by digital media, the ability to critically
evaluate the vast array of information available online is more important than ever.
Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in personal development. It involves recognizing and
managing one's own emotions, as well as empathizing with others. High emotional intelligence contributes
to stronger relationships and can greatly enhance leadership capabilities.
Time management and organization are key to achieving goals and maintaining balance. Teens who
master these skills are better prepared to juggle academic responsibilities, extracurricular activities, and
personal interests without becoming overwhelmed.
Lastly, financial literacy is fundamental for future stability. Understanding basic financial concepts
such as budgeting, saving, and investing prepares teens for financial independence and responsible
adulthood.

answer to each of the questions.
Making the leap from school to university
Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are excited
about it, they should also be aware of the difference between university and school.
At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular assignments
and provide support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of your learning at
university involves self-studying and project work that you need to plan and complete by a certain date. It
is your responsibility to review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do research to find information in the
library or online.
Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact with them
mostly in a school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very familiar. By contrast, at
university, you not only have more contacts, but you also meet people from different backgrounds.
Therefore, you need better social skills to deal with any conflict you may come into when interacting with
other people.
As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the daily care
and support you need. You don't have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself. You
have your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go to university, you will
probably move away from home and start to live independently. You need to improve your life skills so
that you can manage your own life.
26. What is the text mainly about?
A. A comparison between school life and university life.
B. An explanation why university life is more interesting.
C. Advice on how to leap into university life.
D. A report on the difficulties of university life.
27. Getting into university is an important event for ________________.
A. the old
B. the poor
C. the young
D. the rich
28. What does the word 'them' in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. classrooms
B. teachers
C. assignments
D. resources
29. The word “contacts” in paragraph 3 mostly means

A. people you know
B. physical interactions you have
C. people you want to contact
D. social benefits you have
30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Students will know more people from different places at university.
B. At school, students rarely receive support from teachers to complete their homework.
C. At university, students need to be more responsible for their own learning.
