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.
The best explainer videos are realized by great background score. When was the last time
you watched a silent movie? Never? Not for a while? A long while? Even if you remember
watching one, it would still have had a background score, or you’ve accidentally pressed the
mute button!
The importance of background music and sound effects for your explainer video, therefore,
cannot be overstated. You may not need a full blown orchestra or classy jazz tones to create the
mood, but whether going for a subtle effect, a professional demonstration or simply trying to
attract customers, music is a must. Explainer videos have the emotional quotient working for
them and music is just going to add more to make the viewers relate to the pain points you are
highlighting in your video. Imagine if your favorite video game has no background music or
sound effects to back the amazing graphics? Would you play it with the same feel and
excitement? Nah! Same is the case with your explainer videos. They need to and should have apt
sound effects to make them worth your viewer’s time.
While the focus of explainer videos production is more on passing the desired information
and explaining technical and complex procedures easily, it doesn’t mean you’ll be distracting
your viewers with the background music. The sound effects and music is not going to take the
message away from your explainer, it’s just going to enhance it and turn it more watchable and
share-able. Even if your video doesn’t require a background score, it must include some sound
effects or else it would be not so good an experience for those who choose to watch it.

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.
      To quote CREST founder Dr. Martha Honey, we earnestly believe that ecotourism is “simply
a better way to travel.” Here’s a look at how this transformational approach to travel benefits
conservation, increases cross-cultural understanding, and ultimately turns travelers into
environmental advocates.
       To see how ecotourism benefits nature and wildlife, let’s look at endangered species such as
African Elephants. Ivory from Elephant tusks is worth $1500 a pound on the black market,
which has led to a dramatic increase in poaching. But Elephants are worth 76 times more alive
than dead. When you consider the revenue from wildlife photography tours, luxury safari camps,
and other ecotourism offerings, a single Elephant is worth $1.3 million over the course of its
lifetime! Ecotourism offers a long-term alternative to exploitation, generating sustainable
revenue and ensuring better overall health of the ecosystem.
Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also
protecting the habitat of endemic species. The revenue that ecotourism provides can help replace
profits from exploitative practices such as mining or slash ‘n’ burn agriculture. It can also help
ensure the long-term financial viability of the area. Naturalist guides also help travelers
understand the value of a pristine ecosystem, and teach them about the importance of
conservation. This ultimately help to create a more mindful and conscious legion of travelers.

Trang 6
      When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams. In wildlife-
rich countries such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers,
capitalizing on their knowledge of the animals and their habitat. In Costa Rica, unemployment
has fallen to less than 10% since the country started building its ecotourism infrastructure in the
1970s. Involving local communities in tourism management empowers them by ensuring that
more revenue is reinvested locally. Ecotourism also offers indigenous peoples an opportunity to
remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preserve traditional culture.
      Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and
mindful of the impact we have on the destinations we visit. But ecotourism also offers us
incredible, transformative experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to
the nature, wildlife, and local people we encounter during our adventures. Learning about
ecotourism can permanently change your understanding of mankind’s role in our planetary
ecosystem. And once you’ve had that sort of travel experience, you’ll never want to travel the
traditional way again.
