PART 6 Reading Comprehension

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 spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in subsequent restrictive measures taken by many governments across the
globe. Lockdowns, closure of schools and public places, and other ongoing restrictions have brought about dramatic changes
to parent-child relationships. A large number of parents suddenly found themselves thrown into round-the-clock childcare,
with many juggling working from home with carrying out childcare commitments. There is added stress for parents and
caregivers who have lost their livelihoods or loved ones due to the pandemic. Many distressed parents have started to look for
coping strategies that help build up their resilience.
Seeking expert advice is one of the first strategies that comes to mind. Counseling sessions can help parents regain control of
their lives by giving them space to discuss their traumatizing experiences in a non-judgmental environment. It is also
advisable to practice a self-care routine. The self-perpetuating myth that parents must sacrifice everything for their children
and that their needs and wants should take a back seat has led many parents to ignore their well-being and devote all their
time to their children. Self-care is not a selfish act if someone is not physically and mentally healthy. Simple activities like
walking to a nearby grocery store or having a cup of tea can go a long way in rejuvenating worn-out parents. Above all,
parents should feel safe in the knowledge that they are not alone, and to struggle is normal during these difficult times.
Governments and corporations are not free of responsibility either. Initiatives must be implemented to address the problems
that confront parents. More family-friendly policies, such as paid parental leave or access to affordable and high-quality
childcare centers, should be promoted and extended to include all in need.

PART 7 Reading Comprehension

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

Maintaining family traditions - activities passed down from generation to generation - is a great way to encourage bonding
between family members and reinforce one’s sense of identity and belonging. However, keeping traditions alive requires a lot
of commitment and planning. While most people attach family traditions to predictability and stability as the activities are
repeated every year, some may find them intimidating, as they can be overly expensive or necessitate too much planning.

movie nights. These traditions are easy to establish and maintain. Likewise, it should not cost a lot of money to continue a
tradition. There are plenty of free options available out there that families can consider. Also, if an option does not work, do
away with it. There is no point in carrying on going to the opera when most members deem it a daunting experience. For sure,
