Reading Passage 1 (Questions 1-10)

Technology in the Modern Classroom

The traditional classroom, with its blackboard and rows of desks, is undergoing a major transformation. The integration of technology is revolutionising education, providing both students and teachers with a host of new tools. Laptops and tablets are replacing heavy textbooks, giving students access to the most up-to-date information available online. Interactive whiteboards have turned lectures into dynamic presentations, allowing teachers to incorporate videos, websites, and other multimedia content directly into their lessons. This makes learning more engaging and can cater to different learning styles.

Furthermore, online learning platforms allow for education to extend beyond the classroom walls. Students can review materials, submit homework, and even collaborate on projects from home. This flexibility is a significant benefit, especially for students who may be sick or unable to attend class in person. For teachers, technology offers efficient ways to track student progress and provide immediate feedback. Digital quizzes can be graded automatically, saving valuable time. While there are challenges, such as ensuring all students have equal access to devices and the internet, the overall impact of technology in education has been overwhelmingly positive, creating a more interactive, personalised, and accessible learning environment for the digital natives of this generation.

Reading Passage 2 (Questions 11-20)

The Social Impact of Instant Messaging

In the last two decades, the way we communicate has been fundamentally altered by instant messaging (IM) and social media platforms. Gone are the days of waiting for a letter or even an email reply. Communication is now instantaneous, allowing for real-time conversations with people anywhere in the world. This has had a profound impact on social relationships, particularly among young people who have grown up with this technology. On one hand, it allows for a continuous connection with friends, fostering a sense of community and shared experience, even when people are physically apart.

However, this constant connectivity has a downside. The pressure to be available and respond immediately can be a source of anxiety. Moreover, the nature of text-based communication lacks the nuances of face-to-face interaction, such as tone of voice and body language. This can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. Some sociologists also argue that a reliance on digital interaction can weaken in-person social skills. People may become more comfortable interacting through a screen than in the real world, which could lead to feelings of isolation despite being constantly connected. Therefore, while IM technology has undeniably made the world smaller and more connected, it has also introduced new complexities to our social lives that we are still learning to navigate.

To teach readers how to use instant messaging apps.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

To argue that instant messaging is bad for society.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

To discuss both the positive and negative social effects of instant messaging.
