Dear Editor,

We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during our favorite
programs. We think they should be stopped for a number ofreasons.
First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes there
seems to be more ads than programmes.
Second, ads are bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food like
soft drink, candy and chips. And they make people want things they do not really need.
Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what programmes people watch. That is
because they want to put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some programmes
which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, even though those
programmes may be someone’s favourite.
For those reasons, we think TV station should stop showing ads. They interrupt programmes. They
have bad influences on people, and they are sometimes put a stop to people favourite shows. We are sick
of ads, and now we mostly watch other channels.

Sincerely yours,

Arman

The Effects of Acid Soil

Soils with a pH of less than 7.0 are acid. The lower the pH, the more acid the soil. When soil pH falls
below 5.5, plant growth is affected. Crop yields decrease, reducing productivity.

Soils provide water and nutrients for plant growth and development. Essential plant nutrients include
phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, and sulfur. Plants require other element$ such as molybdenum, in
smaller quantities. Some elements e.g. alluminium and manganese, are toxic to plants.

Nutrients become available to plants when they are dissolved in water. Plants are not able to take up
phosphorus, nitrate, potassium, and sulfate ions in solution.

The solubility of nutrients changes with pH . In acid soils, (low pH), molybdenum become less soluble and
aluminium becomes more soluble. Therefore, plant growth may be affected by either a deficiency of
molybdenum or too much aluminium.

Both crop and pasture plants are affected by acid soils. There may be a range of symptoms. Crops and
pastures may be poorly established resulting in patchy an uneven growth. Plant leaves may go yellow and
die at the tips. The root system of the plant may be stunted. Crop may yield less.

Plant vary in their sensitivity to low pH. Canola and luceme are very sensitive to acid soils so they do not
grow well. Lupins and triticale are tolerant to soils of low pH so they still perform well.
II
Land can become unproductive if acid soil is left untreated. Incorporating lime into the
soil raises the pH. Therefore, liming soil can reverse the effects of acid soil on plants and return a paddock
to productivity.

29. What is the advantage of soils with a pH of less than 7.0?

A. To reduce productivity of crop.
B. To increase the crop productivity.
C. To make the leaves yellow.
D. To be poorly established.
E. To cause the planet die

30. What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?

A. Acid soils affect crop and plants.
B. The root system of plant is stunted.
C. Plant leaves tum yellow and die at the tips.
D. Crop and pasture plants are not affected by acid soils.
E. Crops and pastures are established resulting in patchy.

31. “Therefore, plant growth may be affected by either a deficiency of molybdenum or too much aluminium.”
(Paragraph 4)
The underlined word is closest in meaning to ....
A. caused
B. supported
C. destroyed
D. empowered
E. influenced

 This text is for questions 32 to 34.
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue th;at children
have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further point they make is that
a lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that
it is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the support from the teacher.
They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what they have learned
in school.
Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs dqing and it
makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don't need teacher's
support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given at the weekend
when children have more time.
