PART 9: 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.
PASSAGE 1:
BULLYING has always existed in our society. Bullying is not limited to physical behaviour, such as pushing or hurting other people. It also includes offensive comments, false rumours, threats, teasing, gossiping, and social exclusion. For example, the bullies ignore the victims, laugh at them behind their backs, or make them feel like they don't belong to the group. Bullying can happen anywhere— in person or online, where it is known as cyberbullying, and it has serious consequences.
Bullying affects all the students involved. Victims of bullying can experience depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness. Kids who bully others are more likely to use alcohol or drugs, get into violent behaviours, or drop out of school. Even bystanders—students who witness bullying—may feel less safe and have difficulty building positive relationships at school. These effects may continue into adulthood.
However, the good news is there's a lot we can do to solve the problem. It takes the whole community—children, parents, teachers, and staff—to prevent bullying effectively. Students should be taught skills for recognising, reporting, and refusing bullying. Bystanders can also make a huge difference when they stand up for the victims by helping them in any way they can or informing an adult immediately. Teachers should keep the lines of communication open by checking in with children and listening to them often. Moreover, teachers can help students get involved in after-school activities that are suitable to their hobbies and interests. All these elements help create a positive school environment where bullying is less likely to happen.

PASSAGES 2
TECHNOLOGY IS DEVELOPING, so it has enabled us to do some amazing things. The question is: "What will schools be like in 20 years' time?". Schools have experienced a transformation over the last 80 years - from chalkboards to interactive smartboards and from notebooks to iPads. The concept of a teacher standing at the front facing rows of desks with students who listen and take notes is gradually becoming a thing of the past.
Digital classrooms will enable students to take part in learning activities anytime and anywhere. Some people believe that it is only a matter of time before cyborg guides begin to replace teachers in schools. However, it's more likely that robots will be used to support teachers in their work. For instance, robots can be used to make learning activities more individual. This can help to improve students' learning as they will help students learn in the best way.
Besides, virtual reality headsets will play a bigger role in the schools of the future. As we are in the digital era, a world of information is at your fingertips with a click of a button or a simple voice command. We are moving away from the time when students' schoolbags were full of books. This is the generation of tablets and 3D Digi books, which allows students to interact with 3D objects by touch. What's more, with virtual reality headsets, students may participate in historic scenes or explore the Pyramids of Giza without leaving the classrooms. Everything may be a feature of schools in years to come. However, only time will tell how many of those possibilities will happen in the future.
In addition, artificial intelligence (AI) will likely play a crucial role in shaping the future of education. AI-powered tutors could provide personalized learning experiences, adapting lessons to match each student’s pace and needs. Automated grading systems may reduce teachers’ workload, allowing them to focus more on interactive and creative teaching methods. Moreover, AI-driven language translation tools could make education more accessible for students from different linguistic backgrounds, promoting inclusivity in digital classrooms. With these advancements, learning will become more efficient, engaging, and tailored to individual preferences.
