[I] This technology overlays virtual objects and information onto real-world environments, creating interactive experiences that were once unimaginable. [II] AR is making waves in education, gaming, and even social interactions, promising a future where technology feels more integrated into our daily lives. [III] Very soon, AR could revolutionize every aspect of how we interact, with information and entertainment, making the virtual world seem as real as the one around us. [IV]
In education, AR is proving to be a powerful tool for engagement and understanding. Students can now explore a 3D model of the solar system in their classrooms or dissect a virtual frog without harming a real one. These experiences bring lessons to life, making complex topics easier to grasp. AR also fosters creativity, encouraging students to think outside the box and engage with their studies in new ways. With AR, learning is no longer confined to textbooks and lectures. It allows students to start strong and immediately apply what they learn, helping them dive into real-world scenarios with ease.
The entertainment industry is another area which AR has a significant impact on. Games like Pokémon Go have shown how AR can create immersive, real-world experiences that capture the imagination of millions. In the future, AR could revolutionize how we watch movies, attend concerts, or even try on clothes while shopping online. Imagine sitting in your living room and having a holographic performance appear right before your eyes. AR can also break the mold, introducing groundbreaking ways to entertain audiences and keep them engaged like never before. The possibilities are endless. AR is truly a golden opportunity to reshape our interaction with the world. However, like any new technology, it comes with challenges. Developers and educators must ensure that AR is accessible, user- friendly, and free from misuse. With thoughtful innovation, AR has the potential to become a game- changer in both education and entertainment, bridging the gap between imagination and reality.

Read the following passage about the iPhone 17 and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Apple’s iPhone 17 has quickly attracted worldwide attention. At first glance, its design may look familiar, but the phone is slimmer, lighter, and built with more recycled materials. Apple presents this as evidence of its commitment to sustainability, showing how the company responds to consumer concerns about the environment.
The new device also introduces stronger artificial intelligence features. These include instant translation, smarter photo organization, and predictive text that adapts to each user’s style. Apple stresses that most processing is done on the phone itself to protect privacy. Supporters welcome these tools as practical and time-saving, while critics question how much control users truly have over their data.
Battery performance has seen a clear improvement. Thanks to a redesigned cooling system, the iPhone 17 operates more efficiently and lasts nearly 20 percent longer than the iPhone 16. Reviewers, especially gamers and professionals, praise this change because it reduces overheating and extends daily use. Combined with faster wireless charging, the upgrade shows Apple’s attempt to answer long-standing customer complaints.
Security has also advanced with a dual biometric system combining facial recognition and voice authentication. Apple describes this as a stronger barrier against identity theft. Some users worry it may be difficult to set up or fail in noisy places. Even with such doubts, initial sales have been strong in more than 40 countries, particularly in Asia. This suggests that Apple’s effort to combine innovation, sustainability, and safety is gaining wide acceptance in the global market.
