Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

A Delicate Balance

The relationship between humans and the environment is complex and constantly evolving. For centuries, people have relied on natural resources to survive and grow. However, human activities—such as deforestation, industrialization, and the burning of fossil fuels—have significantly altered natural ecosystems.

As a result, we are now witnessing severe environmental consequences, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and increased pollution. These effects, in turn, influence human life. Rising global temperatures lead to more frequent natural disasters like floods, wildfires, and droughts, which threaten food security and public health.

Despite these challenges, humans are not just passive victims of environmental change. We are also agents of change. Innovative technologies, sustainable farming methods, and renewable energy sources offer new opportunities to reduce our negative impact on the planet. Governments, organizations, and individuals all play a role in promoting environmental responsibility.

Understanding this two-way interaction is essential if we are to build a sustainable future. Every choice we make - from the products we consume to how we travel - can either contribute to environmental degradation or help protect the planet.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

FAMILY TRADITIONS AND CELEBRATIONS

Family traditions are meaningful activities that families do together repeatedly, often at specific times of the year or on special occasions. These can be simple routines like eating dinner together every Sunday, or major events like holiday celebrations. Traditions help families preserve their beliefs, stories, and history. Most importantly, they bring family members closer and create lasting memories that endure over time.

Many families have traditions around holidays. For example, during Christmas, some families decorate a tree together or sing carols. In Vietnam, families often gather for Tet, sharing special meals and wishing each other good luck. Birthdays are also moments for traditions, like baking a favorite cake or having a special meal. But traditions are not only for holidays. Some families have a movie night every Friday, or they go camping together every summer. These regular practices help family members spend quality time and feel emotionally connected.

Family traditions do more than just make good memories. They give each family a unique sense of belonging. When children take part in traditions, they learn about their family's background and what is important to their parents and grandparents. Traditions offer comfort and a sense of stability during times of change. They also help pass down important family values, such as kindness, diligence, or respecting elders. Through these shared experiences, family members learn more about one another and build stronger relationships.

Keeping traditions alive can sometimes be challenging. However, it is always worth the effort. Families can also create new traditions that are more suitable for their modern lifestyles. The most important thing is to engage in activities that bring joy and togetherness. These special habits and celebrations help make a family unique and resilient, reminding everyone of the love and emotional connection they share.
