Danial will love it.

the camera drone and how you can record the best footage with it? This is a smaller and
lighter version, so it’s easier to carry around. It’s a little bit pricey, but if everyone chips
in, I’m pretty sure we can afford it. It’s selling fast, so tell me what you think as soon as
possible.

4. From the email, we know that Fatimah

Since the 1950s, more than eight billion tonnes of plastic has
been produced, with much of it polluting the world’s land and
oceans. Now scientists are looking to nature to help with
innovative recycling solutions to reuse hard-to-recycle plastic.
Natural degradation of plastic can take hundreds of years, but the
super enzyme can convert PET back to its original building
blocks in just a few days. The process would reduce our
dependence on fossil resources, said Professor John McGeehan, director of the Center of
enzyme Innovation.

6. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The best way to recycle plastics is by using fossil resources.

B. Currently, about eight billion tonnes of plastic is polluting the world.
C. A recent discovery has brought light to ending the plastic pollution problem.

You are going to read an extract from an article. For questions 19 to 26, choose the
correct answer (A, B, C or D) and mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet.

Video games are nothing new. The very first arcade-style home video console, Pong,
was released back in the early 1970s. Today, the video game industry advances in producing
gaming contents that are a thousand times more varied and spectacular than anyone could
have imagined in the late 70s. In 2020, the video gaming industry skyrocketed during the
pandemic, as people tried to look for ways to entertain themselves during a period of
lockdowns and other social distancing regulations. By 2025, it is predicted that the market
would be valued over $250 billion. The growth of video games is driven by its never-ending
ability to move with the times and remain at the cutting edge of new technology, introducing
new gaming experiences to a hungry audience. This makes us wonder, what will the video
games of the future be like?

Whatever incredible new games are created, they will be driven by developments in
streaming technology. Online availability of games has already helped to grow the industry,
with millions of players communicating with each other through the internet from anywhere
in the globe. As 5G, satellite, and ultra-fast broadband technologies become more widely
available, multiplayer games are going to grow more and more popular.

Smartphones are everywhere. As they have gone increasingly common in society,

gaming companies have been quick to adapt and design games to play on these devices.
Billions of people are already playing video games on our phones. With advancing phone
technology and improved connectivity, the mobile market will continue to become more
important to the gaming industry, and game consoles will become a thing of the past.

Over the years, graphics in video games will also achieve some incredible
breakthroughs. Ray tracing, a method that allows light to travel in a game in a completely
realistic and natural way, is going to be a common feature of gaming technology. Pixel
technology in gaming will advance to the point where it matches, or possibly beats,
everything seen in the movies, even on mobile devices.

Virtual reality (VR) games offer a completely immersive experience via headsets and
gloves. VR is relatively new with the first Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Playstation’s PSVR
came out in 2016. Although it has gained some popularity, this technology is expensive and
by blocking out the real world, it can be an uncomfortable experience for some people. In
comparison to traditional games, the screen quality might be a little lacking and the touch
technology is still rather unsophisticated. Undoubtedly, improvements will be made, but it is
more likely that augmented reality (AR) will be the more casual gamer’s choice of the future.

AR games link the digital world with the real one by placing video and graphics on
the physical environment. While playing AR games, players can interact with the digital
world but also move out to reality whenever they like. This technology has been used
successfully with Pokemon: Go! This AR mobile game becomes a worldwide phenomenon
as players get to hunt and care for Pokemon characters in real-life settings. Further in the
future, AR implants could allow players to play games using only their eyes.

Last but not least, advances in technology will not only change the games we play,
but the industry itself. While the improvements in technology offer the industry ways to cut
costs and improve the speed of game development, many of the advances will add to the
already high costs of creating games. The major releases over the past few years have often
involved teams of hundreds of people. Games are going to be more complex, captivating, and
dependent on specialised technology. Therefore, rather than employing huge teams of
experts, the growing trend to use a video game outsourcing company to work on a single
project will become completely widespread. This will allow the video game company leaders
to reduce workloads, add specialist expertise and most importantly, get games to market
rapidly.

Questions 27 to 32
You are going to read an article about plastic waste. Six sentences have been removed from
the article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (27 to 32). There
are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.

Are Zoos A Good Thing?

Zoos are popular attractions for adults and children alike. However, are they actually
a good thing?
Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by

being enclosed. (27) This situation causes many zoo animals to become stressed or
mentally ill.

Some zoos also make animals behave unnaturally. (28) Capturing animals

also causes much suffering by splitting up families. (29)

In contrast, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to
educate the public about conservation issues. People are inspired to protect animals too. (30)
Zoos also carry out important research into subjects such as animal behaviour and
how to treat diseases.

(31) In the wild, some of the rarest species have difficulty in

finding mates and breeding. They might also be threatened by poachers, habitat
loss and predators. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a secure
environment.

All in all, are zoos good for animals? (32) However, it is understandable that many
still view keeping animals in captivity for any reason is simply wrong.

Questions 33 to 40
Questions 33 to 40 are based on the following texts. Read the text carefully and answer
the questions that follow.
Teen Shopping Habits
A – NALA, 16 years old
I spend most of my money on clothes and food. As the school I go to is a fashion design
high school, I’m interested in shopping. But I’m a teen and don’t have money. So, most of
the time, I wear secondhand clothing which allows me to develop my own style.
B – TALIA, 17 years old
Today I went out to brunch with friends and bought some stationery. That’s why I spend
most of my money on food as a social thing and stationery, office supplies, and books. I
have a thing for notebooks. I think I’m going to start journaling.
C – AJ, 15 years old
I usually buy clothes, which to me, is a necessity. I usually get jerseys and jeans from
urban-style stores such as Against All Odds. Online, I shop at little stores from the ads that
pop up on Instagram. If I have spare money, I’ll use it to go out with my friends.
D – MELISSA, 15 years old
I purchase clothes from thrift stores to get styles that are trending like the retro look.
Occasionally I’ll go to a mall, but the mall near my house doesn’t have a lot of good stores,
so it’s just more convenient to order stuff online. I have the apps installed on my phone and
my mother set up an account with her credit card information.
E – ELISA, 16 years old
I love skincare products from Glossier, particularly this spring when the no-makeup
makeup look is popular. The brand is opening up a store in the nearby mall, so I’m excited
about buying some more items. I feel that they enhance my features without me having to
wear much makeup.
F – RISHI, 17 years old
I play tennis and run cross country, so most of my spending goes toward those two sports
like sneakers and jerseys. I would rather spend money on athletic stuff than hyped items
that became a craze for some time. I don’t find a plain shirt with one word on it appealing.
