Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 13.
Singapore is known as a “City in a Garden” because of its many parks, trees, and green spaces. Despite being a busy modern city, Singapore has made nature a priority. Tall buildings are surrounded by gardens, and streets are lined with trees. The government has strict rules to protect the environment, making sure that development does not destroy greenery. This balance between urban life and nature makes Singapore unique.

One of the most famous green spots in Singapore is Gardens by the Bay. This huge park has giant tree-like structures covered in plants, called Supertrees. At night, they light up in beautiful colours. The park also has large greenhouses that grow plants from all over the world. Another popular place is the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with rare flowers and peaceful walking trails. These places show how much Singapore values nature.

Singapore also works hard to be eco-friendly. The city uses solar power, recycles water, and has an efficient public transport system to reduce pollution. Many buildings are designed to save energy, with green roofs and walls covered in plants. Even the airport has a stunning indoor waterfall and a forest inside! These efforts help keep the air clean and make the city more sustainable.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 20 to 29.
Everybody feels irritated by their siblings from time to time. Maybe your younger brother shows off and behaves in an immature way when you invite your friends to your house. Or perhaps your hardworking older sister gets a lot of praise from your parents, making you feel like you are not trying hard enough. It could also be that your sibling never respects your personal space, constantly borrowing your things without asking. At times, your brother or sister can feel like your worst enemy. [I]

Sibling relationships can be especially difficult for teenagers, who are experiencing many changes in their preferences and personality. For example, you may now find some of the activities that you used to enjoy doing with your younger brother childish or a waste of time. At times, the age difference can feel bigger than it really is, and this can have a negative effect on your relationship. One way to solve this problem is to make sure you continue to include your brother or sister in your day-to-day life. This can take some time, so it is important to be patient and enthusiastic.

Of course, it is perfectly normal for brothers and sisters to fall out with one another over small things. But you should not try to let incidents like these have too big an effect on your relationship. [II] It is important to learn to forgive your siblings for this kind of behaviour, just as you would forgive your close friends. In situations like these, it is really important to let your sibling know how you feel. Rather than insulting your sister when she takes your things, tell her that it makes you feel angry, and that you would feel much happier if she asked you first. It’s also crucial that you are sensitive to the feelings of your siblings, too. [III]

Finally, it is important to learn how to compromise. It is understandable that you may not want to lend your favourite jumper to your unreliable sister, but maybe you could offer her a less valuable alternative item of clothing. [IV] Or if your brother likes to spend all his free time watching football and you find it boring, you could suggest a different sport that you follow regularly together. And if you make the effort to make your sibling happy, he or she will do the same for you.
