Exercise 7: Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Today’s urban cities are practically bursting at the seams. According to research from the United Nations, 54 percent of the
world’s population lives in urban areas, a percentage that is expected to increase to over 66 percent by 2050. In fact, India
alone is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers to its population by 2050.
This rapid growth of the urban population has caused daunting problems for city planners, such as overcrowded roads,
excessive energy consumption and unemployment. Therefore, to build more sustainable cities and accommodate the
growing number of residents, many city leaders are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT).
The IoT has forever changed the way urban cities operate. Cities that were once detached and inaccessible are now
intelligent and highly connected. From Amsterdam to Seoul, cities are launching smart city projects to help improve quality of
life for residents and better support the environment. According to research from HIS Technology, there will be at least 88
smart cities globally by 2025, up from 21 in 2013.
San Francisco, for example, provides more than 100 charging stations in various locations to promote the use of hybrid and
electric cars to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Copenhagen is also taking advantage of the IoT to improve
environmental protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes equipped with sensors that generate data on air
contamination and traffic congestion.
The possibilities afforded by the IoT are endless; however, designing smart cities requires comprehensive technology
infrastructure that is capable of capturing and processing large amounts of data quickly and securely – which is where 4G LTE
comes into play.
The future looks bright for urban cities. Soon they will be able to do things that only sci-fi enthusiasts could dream of before,
like monitoring bridge conditions using intelligent sensor and conserving energy by automatically dimming street lights when
no one is around.

Exercise 8: Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Hoi An Ancient Town
Arriving in Hoi An around 9 p.m., I was really relieved when I discovered that the whole town was peacefully quiet, something
I am really concerned that Hoi An at night may become crazy club scenes. In the next morning, I woke up very early, and
walked around the town admiring waterfront areas where local fishermen were ready to go out for day fishing, the very lively
market and extremely charming and empty streets. Since there was no tourist, only locals then and the souvenir shop were
still close, I felt that Hoi An at that moment was an extremely gorgeous place to visit.
The yellowish Chinese styled houses along the street together with decorative bushes of bougainvillea flower are lovely
sights and very photogenic. The layout of houses was claimed to be unique for not strictly complied with Feng Shui but for
benefit of better ventilation in tropical region. Another thing that I am really impressed is the preservation of the whole town
which is very amazing and very authentic, which is a thing that cannot be found in Melaka, Singapore or Macao. The Japanese
Bridge is maybe the only sight that I found very interesting for its stories that the Japanese built this bridge in order to calm
evil perpent spirit “Namazu” that caused earthquake in very faraway Japan since they believe Hoi An located on the back of
the serpent. I strangely found that there are still many nice temples, especially the one dedicate to Confucius which has more
unique and interesting Vietnamese elements more than the preserved ones in the core zone.
I also noted that Hoi An is not only popular with European tourists but also Korean, Japanese, Australian and New Zealander.
After sunset, the whole town waterfront becomes a night market with many local foods. And at that time Hoi An is very
charming with hundreds of paper and silk lanterns. Hoi An at night seems to be a very popular place for pre-wedding photo
shooting, as I saw many Vietnamese couples in their traditional dresses with their photographer teams everywhere especially
around the Japanese Bridge, so a great place to see local contemporary wedding cultures.
All in all, I really enjoyed my time in Hoi An for its lovely atmosphere and nice townscape.
