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 from 18 to 25.
Social media networks are the places where you relax, learn interesting things, and show people who you are. Social media users can choose what to show and what to hide, which could lead to the constant desire to be popular and look perfect, known as the pressure of online recognition.
We always want to be like the people around us. On social media, we see the best parts of other people’s lives — their vacations, their career success, even their stunning selfies! It’s easy to get frustrated if you don’t have similar career achievements or post remarkable selfies as they do. This can make you want to be more impressive online and show off all the time.
Social media even keeps a score of your posts and comments! Every like, comment, and follower becomes a number that results in daily pressure. It’s tempting to think that the more popular you are on social media, the better you are as a person. This can make you focus on being liked instead of being yourself.
All those kinds of pressure can be toxic for us. Wanting to be popular online can make people stressed, upset, and unsure of themselves. Trying to seem perfect all the time isn’t real, and it gets exhausting for many people. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to take a break! The bottom line is that you mustn’t let social media control you. It’s vital not to compare yourself with others all the time and just focus on being you. You’d better spend time having real-life fun with other people to experience true happiness instead.

Urbanisation occurs in many parts of the world, both in developed and developing nations. When properly planned, it can bring a number of benefits, especially for the economy and society. However, if it is poorly managed, it can pose a significant challenge to maintaining the sustainability of these areas.
Big cities attract a lot of people as they usually offer more employment opportunities as well as a better life for them. The economy of urban areas tends to grow rapidly as more businesses and factories are created, and more workers are needed. Economic growth also increases household income and spending. This also leads governments to spend money on better schools, hospitals, roads, public transport, and more. As cities expand, many more facilities such as public parks and gardens, swimming pools, libraries, cinemas, and sports centres are built. These are just some of the spaces that make city life exciting and appealing to people of all ages.
However, when too many people move to a big city, without good planning and investment, its infrastructure can become ineffective. [I] For example, big urban areas can easily get overcrowded as railway networks and roads can’t cope with the large number of passengers. [II] The economic growth and expansion of big cities come at a big price for local residents as house prices and rents go up, and they can’t afford to either buy or rent. [III] This can increase the risk of infections, heart disease, and lung cancer, and severely affect people who are ill. [IV]
Urbanisation is a process that cannot be stopped and the best way to minimise the problems caused by it is to plan for the growth and all the resources needed and make sure the infrastructure can support the increasing population.
