READING
I. Read the following passage and answer the questions using NO MORE
THAN FIVE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER.
From the very beginning, we hear that humans are social beings who cannot live
without other people but during the pandemic, we learnt different things. In order
to survive, we saw that we could live isolatedly, so there are many things we could
do by ourselves. For knowledge achievement, we took part in online classes and
registered for other online courses. After the pandemic, people can live more
independently and have better life skills. Students are able to use online tools in
learning. Some students are used to online classes, and they even prefer this kind
of class over traditional classes because they can do whatever they want during in-
class time. This is undoubtedly having a negative impact on their studies.
However, online classes are beneficial if students learn seriously. Many students
have made progress in their learning despite attending online classes. In short, the
pandemic brought unexpected consequences to people’s lives; however, it helped
us explore our potentials and understand ourselves better.
