Social media marketing has increased due to the growing active user rates on social
media sites. For example, Facebook currently has 2.2 billion users, Twitter has 330 million
active users and Instagram has 800 million users.
One of the main uses is to interact with audiences to create awareness of the brand or
service, with the main idea of creating a two-way communication system where the audience
and/or customers can interact back; providing feedback as just one example. Social media can be
used to advertise; placing an advert on Facebook's Newsfeed, for example, can allow a vast
number of people to see it or target specific audiences from their usage to encourage awareness
of the product or brand. Users of social media are then able to like, share and comment on the
advert, becoming message senders as they can keep passing the advert's message on to their
friends and onwards. The use of new media put consumers on the position of spreading
opinions, sharing experiences, and has shifted power from organization to consumers for it
allows transparency and different opinions to be heard.
Media marketing has to keep up with all the different platforms. They also have to keep
up with the ongoing trends that are set by big influencers and draw many people’s attention. The
type of audience a business is going for will determine the social media site they use.

the correct word and phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 39 to 43.
The Video Loggers
One rather unlikely word that has recently entered the language is “blog", a shortened
form of “weblog”. A blog is a diary posted on the Internet by the person writing it - the blogger
___(39)___ presumably expects ___(40)___ people to read it. It is ironical that modern
technology is being used to ___(41)___ new life into such an old-fashioned form as the personal
journal. And now, as the technology about video cameras is making them easier to use, we have
the video log, or “vlog". Vlogging does not require highly sophisticated equipment: a digital
video camera, a high-speed Internet connection and a host are all that is needed.
Vloggers can put anything that takes their fancy onto their personal website. Some
vloggers have no ambitions rather than to show films they have shot while on holiday in exotic
places. ___(42)___, vlogs can also serve more ambitious purposes. For instance, amateur
film-makers who want to make a ___(43)___ for themselves might publish their work on the
Internet. And increasingly, vlogs are being used to publicize political and social issues that are
not newsworthy enough to get coverage by the mass media. It is still too early to predict whether
vlogging will ever take off in a major way or if it is just a passing fad, but its potential is only
now becoming apparent.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Ask any science fans about the future and they will most definitely tell you that it will be
full of flying cars - where drivers may become optional! Many researchers, scientists and
engineers see personal air transport as the inevitable solution to the problem of congested roads
or airports that suffer from delays.
At first, it was a dream to combine a car with an airplane. However, a flying car was
considered to be too heavy, costly to design, and inefficient. Another problem was that you had
to be a pilot with a certified license in order to fly one. Now, with modern lightweight materials
and computer technology. a number of inventors and small companies are working on their own
individual versions of flying cars, which they hope will dramatically change air travel.
Paul Moller, Chief Executive of Moller International and developer of the flying sky car
M400, spent 40 years and millions of dollars designing, building and testing the personal
aircraft. Technically speaking, this flying car is known as a a 'volantor', which is defined as a
vertical take-off and finding aircraft that is capable of flying quickly and easily. This allows the
flying car to be flexible like a helicopter without losing the speed of a fast aircraft. It runs on
petrol, diesel, alcohol or propane and its fuel consumption is comparable to that of a
medium-sized car. This model has been tested to guard against accidents. Mr. Moller states that
his flying car is able to fly from airports and heliports.
However, in the future, it will be possible to land at 'vertiports', which will include fields,
parking lots, private properties, shopping centers or skyscraper roofs.
The benefits of this new technology will be quite remarkable. Firstly, the effect on the
environment will be of maximum importance, as flying cars will reduce air and noise pollution
levels considerably. People will be free of traffic jams and will have more flexible lifestyles and
travel times. When these vehicles become popular, then people will have freedom of choice
between rural and urban lifestyles, as they will be able to live in a village near a small airport
and fly to their workplace in the city hundreds of miles away.
Whatever the future holds, it seems very likely that our children will be 'volanting' from
small airports or 'vertiports' instead of breathing harmful exhaust fumes. However, it will be
decades before the ordinary consumer is able to afford this technology.
