Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
What Do You Think?
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have gone to a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad service. Or maybe you have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement.
These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can do this by using apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme on a smartphone. You can use apps to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If f you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review apps help us evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. The idea is very simple. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your apps. You can say anything you want. If you like a hotel you stayed in, you can tell people that it was wonderful. If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad, then you tell people not to eat there. Other people can use their apps to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to go out and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting more and more popular every day. Some apps are for specific services. For example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books. There are also other, larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think of.
If you want to book a hotel, how can a review app help you?
A. It can tell you about the hotel before you book it.
B. It can tell you how to use a smartphone.
C. It can tell you about other people who post reviews.
D. It can help you write better reviews.
I’d like to talk about a book I read recently called The Little Prince. It was written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The story is about a little prince who meets a pilot stranded in the desert, and shares with him his adventures and insights into life.
The Little Prince is a children's literature, fantasy and fable. The little prince travels to different planets, each inhabited by a unique character who teaches him something important. Through his interactions with other characters, the little prince learns about the power of love and how to connect with others in a meaningful way.
The thing I like most about the book is the way I am taught about the meaning of life, and the connection between individuals. In "The Little Prince", I can learn about the importance of imagination, the value of love and friendship, and the value of cherishing what is essential and the dangers of pride and vanity. It is a simple yet profound story. The illustrations are also delightful, and add to the overall charm of the book.
All in all, I’d recommend The Little Prince to people of all ages. It comprises meaningful stories that help us learn and grow from our experiences.
