Everyday life today is much more complicated than in the past. Even in our leisure time we have to make so many
choices about what to do or even what to watch on TV. We are often spoilt for choice and this can leave us feeling
confused and dissatisfied. We all know that it is important to achieve a balance between work and play, but many of us do
not succeed. Instead, we put extra pressure on ourselves by trying to be as successful as in our work life as in our personal
life.
Life in the past was much simplier as many people worked to meet their basic needs. Today, for many of us, our job
is not just a way of making a living. For many, work plays an important role in our everyday life and gives us a strong
sense of personal fulfilment. What’s more, we have become much more materialistic. Many people set themselves goals
such as buying a new house or car and so we measure our success by the material things we own. Desiring these luxuries
is what motivates us to work much harder than in the past, so in many ways we choose this way of life.
We have worked hard to improve our standard of living, but it may have come at a very high price. We need to
make some changes in our prioprities so that family occasions are as important as business meetings. We should also take
every possible opportunity to enjoy our leisure time. Once you have made the decision to do this, you should find that
your quality of life also improves.

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 35 to 42.
Did you know there are about 6,000 to 7,000 languages in the world? It is hard to grasp that so many unique and
distinct languages exist. What makes language even more unique is that languages can change over time, and some may
even become extinct. The language, or languages, that you speak now may be very different in the future.
Language changes depending on what region a speaker lives in, his or her level of education, gender, age, and social
status. Because language is dependent on society, social changes can cause languages to change. For example, in the
1950s, people started to use “Ms.” to refer to a woman instead of “Miss” or “Mrs.” Like “Mr.,” the word “Ms.” doesn’t
show whether or not a woman is married. New inventions and technology are another reason why languages change. The
words “television” and “computer” did not exist in the English language until these objects were invented.
Then how can languages become extinct? When the last speaker of a language dies, the language ceases to exist.
The Bo language, for example, became extinct in 2010 when its last speaker died. And even more recently, a Scottish
dialect called Cromarty became extinct when its last speaker died in 2012. There have been many other languages around
the world that have become extinct over time. Language experts estimate that about 50% to 90% of the languages spoken
today will become extinct within the next one hundred years.
That is why people are working to preserve endangered languages. Google has developed and implemented the
Endangered Languages Project website to save more than 3,000 endangered languages from vanishing. Through the
website, speakers of the same language can connect through social media, audio, and video to try to keep the language
alive. People can also use the site to try to learn new languages. With so many languages already extinct, it is important to
preserve the ones that are left for future generations.
How about the language in your country? Has the language changed over time? Have new words been created? Pay
attention to the language around you so that you can observe how it evolves and keep it from becoming extinct.
