Read the following passage about languages in Vietnam and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 23 to 30.
There are countless initiatives around the world working to build sustainable, compassionate, and cooperative
communities. However, the most widely known movements often focus on urban development, environmental
protection, and economic growth. But what about the smaller, local projects? According to the Global Atlas
of Social Change, about one-third of community-driven initiatives are focused on small-scale, localized
efforts. These grassroots projects are often at risk of being overshadowed by larger global movements. In fact,
150 small-scale initiatives have been discontinued between 2015 and 2023 due to lack of support.
Unfortunately, when a community project is lost, we also lose the social bonds and unique solutions that these
communities bring. That’s because different communities have different ways of living and addressing local
needs. For example, the project to reduce waste in small villages in India is deeply tied to traditional practices.
The village leaders use local wisdom to create zero-waste systems. One example of this is the word jugaad,
which refers to a creative or resourceful solution to a problem. And the concept pukka means a solution that
is sustainable and long-lasting.
In some areas, people are working hard to preserve these local traditions. Many schools in rural regions of
Nepal are teaching traditional farming methods to young students. This helps connect them to their rural
culture and ways of life. Similarly, in parts of Africa, local communities are organizing programs to protect
and preserve indigenous languages. The goal is to raise awareness and ensure these practices are not lost.
Technology offers a promising solution for promoting and preserving these community efforts.
The Community Voicesproject, for instance, has created digital platforms where people can record their local
traditions, stories, and knowledge. These recordings are accessible to everyone online, allowing future
generations to learn from the experiences and wisdom of their ancestors. (Adapted from daily news)

Read the following passage about for a better community 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 31 to 40.
[I] Many factors contribute to the creation of a successful community, from effective communication to
shared goals and values. [II] By 2030, experts predict that more communities will focus on sustainability,
social equity, and inclusivity to adapt to the changing needs of the population. [III] The process of building a
good community is multifaceted and includes addressing both the strengths and weaknesses of existing systems. [IV]
A number of elements are essential for a thriving community. One of the key factors is active citizen
participation, where members work together to solve common problems and share responsibilities. Another
important element is social cohesion, where diverse groups interact harmoniously, fostering mutual respect
and understanding. Communities that emphasize education and support systems are also more likely to thrive,
as they provide the tools for personal and collective growth. On the other hand, there are challenges that need
to be addressed, such as inequality, lack of access to resources, and environmental degradation.
Despite these challenges, the rewards of a well-structured community are numerous. Strong communities
provide a sense of belonging, help reduce social isolation, and promote higher overall well-being.
Additionally, sustainable practices such as local food production, energy efficiency, and waste management
can help reduce the environmental footprint. However, building a better community requires a commitment
to inclusivity, where all members, regardless of their background, are valued and given equal opportunities.
To build a stronger, more resilient community, it is important to create policies that foster collaboration,
provide equal access to resources, and protect the environment for future generations. Through thoughtful
planning and a commitment to shared values, a good community can be created and maintained,
ensuring a better quality of life for everyone. . (Adapted from culturenews)
