In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the
history of the house or building they live in.
What are the reasons for this?
How can people research this?
People in various naeons are growing increasingly interested in learning about the history of the
house or structure they reside in. In my opinion, this is due to natural curiosity as well as pracecal
consideraeons, and should be handled through proper means.
Many people are curious about their home's past because they want to connect with history
and are concerned about poteneal structural flaws. The first reason is comparable to
meeculously researching one's family genealogy. By invesegaeng one's ancestors or place of
residence, It is possible to understand and build a link with the past. Furthermore, there is a
pracecal reason related to historic construceon methods. Older homes, in parecular, may have
used unsafe praceces or materials that will eventually degrade, posing a risk of structural
damage and, in the worst-case scenario, collapses. By studying about the house and the eme
period when it was built, residents can take the necessary precaueons to ensure the house is
structurally sound.
An approach for conduceng such specialized research is to request local records. Inieal research
can be done through "word of mouth" and gathering relevant stories in a community. However,

The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane.
Summarise the informa0on by selec0ng and repor0ng the main features, and make comparisons

The picture illustrates the process of how to make sugar from sugar cane.
Overall, it can be seen that there are three main stages of the process, stareng with inieal
harveseng, followed by a chemical transformaeon, and ending with making the final product of
sugar.
At the first stage of the process, sugar cane is grown during a period of over 12 to 18 months.
Azer that, the mature plant is harvested either by a sickle machete or with the help of massive
farming machines. Subsequently, the stalks are crushed in a grinder, yielding raw sugar cane
juice.
The process conenues with the sugar cane juice being filtered through limestone and placed
into an evaporator, where it is heated, reduced, and transformed into a syrup. At the final stage,
the syrup is then then separated from the sugar crystals using a centrifuge, before being dried
and cooled in its final state as sugar.

In their adver0sing, businesses nowadays usually emphasise that their products are new in some
way.
Why is this?
Do you think it is a posi0ve or nega0ve development?
It is becoming increasingly typical for businesses to emphasize the originality of their items in
adveresing. In my opinion, this stems from the psychology of consumer behavior and is a
generally a negaeve development.
Many markeeng teams adverese products as new in the hopes of semulaeng higher consumer
demand. One of the most important business ideas is that items must saesfy a genuine
consumer need and, ideally, be disenceve in some way. For example, Sony's adveresing
emphasizes how its smartphones’ designs differ from typical phones and always follow their
own style. This technique allowed them to stand out in the smartphone market share, which
they subsequently expanded into one of the world's largest corporaeons. As a result, every
company tries to market their products as novel in order to generate interest and demand.
However, this approach usually results in decepeve adveresing and consumer faegue. Most
businesses that resent their items as "new" in some ways are seeking to deceive the public. This
is frequently the case with soz drink corporaeons such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, which rebrand
their bo°les and cans on a regular basis to create the impression of novelty. These strategies
are clearly decepeve, and audiences are rarely persuaded. In reality, people are becoming bored
of seeing commercials for familiar things that are ostensibly revolueonary. For many customers,
this results in a growing sense of apathy and disinterest in adveresements' exploitaeve tacecs.
In conclusion, it seems to me that the importance of consumer psychology is the reason
corporaeons frequently adverese their items as new, and the impact this has overall is negaeve.

Describe a review you read about a product or service You should say:
where you read the review
I don’t really rely upon any kind of product reviews that much before buying anything mainly
because such reviews don’t always give us a clear picture of a parecular product or brand. But, sell,
about a few months ago, I decided to go over some reviews before deciding to buy an air cooler.
Of course, the air cooler, I was trying to buy, was made by one of the most presegious and reliable
electronics companies in my country, which meant the product didn’t really need any kind of
introduceon or favourable reviews or opinions to pursue its customers. But, sell, I decided to read
the reviews because one of my friends had insisted that I be°er read some of the product reviews,
no ma°er the products were made by some famous brands or some unknown brands. I read the
review online - on a famous product comparison website in my country.
Anyway, as I started to read some of the product reviews of the so-called “presegious and reliable”
company, I noeced that most of the reviews came negaeve, contrary to what I actually had
anecipated. Inieally, azer reading those reviews, I thought that they were just some “mad”
customers for whatever the reasons that might be, but as I started to read a bit more carefully with
a criecal mind, I found out that most of those people, who lez their reviews, were rather
knowledgeable about how an air cooler should have performed under what kinds of weather. To
my surprise, I found that they were also familiar with a lot of engineering details or features of
many parts of an air cooler, which meant that they were not just saying something out of some
“speculaeon”.
In the end, I didn’t really buy the air cooler of the so-called popular and reliable company as I
thought that most of the negaeve reviews on that parecular product were authenec and
supported by facts and data. Besides, azer reading those reviews, I also came to know about what
core factors really to consider before buying an air cooler or, for that ma°er, any other electronics
products. So, I am glad that I decided to read those reviews.

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many
health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to
consume less sugar.
Do you agree or disagree?
Many people argue that in order to tackle the most serious health problem caused by excessive
usage of sugar in man-made products and lower sugar consumpeon by humans, raising prices
for sugar-containing products is preferable. In my opinion, I completely agree with this view.
For a variety of reasons, sugar included in a lot of processed foods and drinks causes a lot of
health concerns. The first reason is that consuming too much added sugar increases heart
disease risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure and inflammaeon. As a result, high sugar
diets have been linked to an increased risk of dying from heart disease. Moreover, there is a
clear link between excessive sugar consumpeon and diabetes risk. For instance, a recent study
by Queen’s university found that people who drink sugar-sweetened beverages, including fruit
juice, are more likely to develop diabetes.
Apart from the pracecal concerns expressed above, I believe that in order encourage consumers
to eat less sugar, sugary products should be made more costly. Firstly, levying a tax on sugar
products should be part of a broader strategy aimed not only at promoeng healthy nutrieon and
lifestyles, but also at increasing the affordability of natural fruits and vegetables, which are ozen
out of reach for the majority of people due to their high prices. As a result, healthy eaeng habits
may emerge, as well as a redistribueon of the family grocery basket, with junk food being
subsetuted by fresh fruits and vegetables. In addieon, many manufacturers use sugar since it is
inexpensive and tasty, and as a result, their products are likewise reasonably priced. This is why
a wide range of people acquire these types of items. As a result, when sugar-containing items'
costs are raised, buyers are urged to alter their minds and focus on cheaper, perhaps healthier
opeons.

It is true that a future populated by self-driving cars is an inevitability and there will be only
passengers travelling on these vehicles. While I accept that this trend can someemes have a
posieve effect, I believe that it is more likely to have a harmful impact.
On the one hand, there are certainly some major benefits of traveling in a driverless vehicle.
Firstly, some evidence shows that self-driving cars cause fewer accidents than humans. This
is because humans are prone to mistakes caused by weariness, distraceons such as
smartphones, and, in some circumstances, changed moods. Machines may someemes
make a technical error, but they are considerably more constant in comparison. Moreover,
driverless cars would benefit individuals who wish to travel but are unable to drive owing to
a condieon such as blindness or epilepsy. As a result, travel costs would be lower because
there will be no need for them to pay for a driver since they cannot drive cars themselves.
However, I would argue that these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks. Although self
driving cars are intended to rely on cu¿ng-edge technology to operate, chances of
malfunceoning sell exist. Any accident that occurs as a consequence of a car malfunceon
may result in the loss of valuable lives. Besides, the existence of autonomous cars would
result in the loss of work for drivers, resuleng in a rise in unemployment, and finding other
occupaeons for these drivers would be challenging. The New York Times reported in March
2020 that the introduceon of driverless vehicles in USA increased unemployment rate by
28%. Furthermore, to guarantee safe operaeon, autonomous cars would require extensive
maintenance and yearly, if not monthly, inspeceons, which would be inconvenient and
costly.
In conclusion, it seems to me that the poteneal harm of driverless vehicles are more
significant than the possible benefits.

A state-of-the-art gadget that I possess and find extremely useful is my Apple smartwatch. I’ve
always been an early adopter of new technology and so it was inevitable, I suppose, that I would
get one as soon as they came out a few years ago. Actually, I purchased it with my whole savings,
which lez me pre°y flat broke at that eme.
Some of my friends think that smartwatches are nothing more than expensive toys for adults, but
that is not the case. I started using it to do stuffs more conveniently like noeng the eme, looking
at appointments, reading incoming text messages. On top of that, the reason why I chose it in the
first place is because it has killer app. It has a heart rate sensor linked to an applicaeon which
monitors what the beat is throughout the day. And because the watch also has a moeon sensor, it
knows whether you are si¿ng, walking briskly or doing a heavy workout. All of these fancy
features keep my eyes glued to the smartwatch all day.
However, yesterday, I had to deacevate the watch for a few months since I was about to take my
upcoming post graduate examinaeons. Despite the fact that I am accustomed to using this app, I
had to drain the ba°ery out of it to make it non funceon so that I can be°er concentrate on my
study.
Though I will miss my watch, I am now studying hard my examinaeons. Obviously, azer the tests,
I'd reacevate it in order to keep tabs on my physical aceviees.

Computer games
- Do you think that all computer games should have a minimum age for players?
In my opinion, there should be no age restriceon for most internet games. If cognieve
abiliees are improving even at a young age, it is a good gesture. Having said that, I think
there should be an age limit for some violent games to prevent youngsters from becoming
aggressive in real life.
- Do you agree that students are oGen be@er at using technology than their teachers?
Well I have to say it's tough to say anything in this situaeon. Students of a younger age are
someemes savvier when it comes to using technology as they have early approach to it.
However, teachers' experience may excel at making things easier for pupils and children.
