Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.

American Family Day, celebrated on the first Sunday in August, is a time to honor the importance of
family bonds and togetherness. This holiday was established in 1978 by Governor Raul Castro of Arizona,
who signed it into law as a day for families to spend quality time together, free from the commercialization
that often accompanies other holidays. The concept quickly spread, and now families across the United
States observe the day with various activities that strengthen their relationships.

Despite the changing dynamics of modern families, the essence of American Family Day remains the
same. Families today come in all shapes and sizes, including single-parent households, blended families, and
multigenerational homes. Regardless of the structure, the focus is on appreciating and nurturing the
relationships that form the backbone of society.

On American Family Day, people engage in activities such as picnics, game nights, and outings to parks
or beaches. The day encourages everyone to disconnect from their digital devices and reconnect with their
loved ones. It is also a time to reflect on the values and traditions that families uphold, passing them down to
future generations.
The significance of American Family Day continues to grow as it reminds us of the importance of
spending time with our loved ones. As life becomes increasingly hectic, having a designated day to celebrate
family can help to foster stronger, more resilient family units. This in turn, contributes to the overall well-
being of communities and society as a whole.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.

British family values have evolved significantly over the past century, reflecting changes in society,
culture, and the economy. Traditionally, British families were often large, with multiple generations living
under one roof, and the father was typically the primary breadwinner while the mother took care of the home
and children. However, modern British families come in all shapes and sizes, including single-parent
families, blended families, and childless couples.
A core value that remains strong in British families is the importance of quality time spent together.
Many families make it a point to have meals together, go on outings, or engage in recreational activities
during weekends and holidays. Celebrations such as Christmas, Easter, and birthdays are significant events
that bring families together, reinforcing their bonds and traditions.

Respect for individuality and personal space is another crucial aspect of British family values. While
togetherness is encouraged, it's equally important for family members to respect each other's privacy and
personal time. This balance helps maintain harmony and understanding within the household.

Education and self-improvement are highly valued in British families. Parents often emphasize the
importance of education and encourage their children to pursue higher studies and personal development.
This focus on education is seen as a means to secure a better future and enhance one's quality of life.
 Moreover, British families are increasingly supportive of gender equality and shared responsibilities. It is
now common for both parents to work and share household chores and childcare duties. This shift reflects
broader societal changes towards more equal and inclusive family dynamics.

As British family values continue to evolve, the underlying principles of love, respect, and support
remain constant. These values not only shape the family unit but also contribute to the broader community
and societal well-being.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.

Protecting the environment is very important for our planet. We need to take care of nature to keep the
Earth clean and healthy. There are many simple things we can do to help the environment. For example, we
can recycle paper, plastic, and glass. Recycling helps to reduce waste and save resources. Another way to
protect the environment is to save water. We should turn off the tap when brushing our teeth and take shorter
showers. Also, using less electricity can help. Turning off lights when we do not need them and using
energy-efficient bulbs can make a big difference.

In addition, planting trees is also very good for the environment. Trees clean the air and provide homes for
animals. They also help to keep the climate stable. We can all plant a tree in our garden or join a community
tree-planting event. Using public transport, walking, or riding a bike instead of driving a car helps reduce
pollution. Cars produce a lot of harmful gases that pollute the air. By choosing other ways to travel, we can
keep the air clean and reduce our carbon footprint. Everyone can help protect the environment. By making
small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference for our
planet.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.

Using paper bags instead of plastic bags is a simple way to help our environment. Paper bags are better
because they are made from trees, which can grow again. Plastic bags are made from oil, which is a resource
that we cannot replace easily.

Paper bags can break down in nature. If a paper bag is left outside, it will become part of the earth again in a
short time. This is called biodegrading. Plastic bags do not biodegrade easily. They can take hundreds of
years to break down. This means they stay in the environment for a long time and can harm animals and
plants.

Paper bags are also easy to recycle. Many places have special bins for recycling paper. When paper bags are
recycled, they can be turned into new paper products. This saves trees and energy. Plastic bags are harder to
recycle. Many recycling centers do not accept them because they can get stuck in the machines.

Using paper bags can also help reduce litter. When people throw plastic bags on the ground, they often end
up in rivers, lakes, and oceans. This can hurt fish and other sea animals. Paper bags are less likely to cause
this issue because they break down faster.

Everyone can help by choosing paper bags instead of plastic bags. Many stores offer paper bags, or you can
bring your own. Some people even use cloth bags, which can be used many times and are even better for the
environment.
