9th National Exam Review Ex 17-18-20-23-24 - 25-26Online version
This reviews language related to the national 9th YEAR exam
One
of
the
fundamental
problems
with
teenagers
and
technology
nowadays
is
the
time
they
spend
cooped
up
in
a
bedroom
at
home
.
They
are
hooked
up
to
a
tablet
or
laptop
for
(
entertain
)
,
or
with
their
heads
bent
over
a
small
device
.
Teenagers
no
longer
spend
as
much
time
outside
in
the
fresh
air
as
it
used
to
be
.
That
?
s
mainly
because
they
meet
-
up
online
.
It
?
s
far
(
fashionable
)
to
chat
online
than
meet
-
up
!
Twenty
years
ago
teens
(
spend
)
much
more
time
outside
and
enjoying
sporting
activities
rather
than
swiping
through
social
media
.
Yes
,
times
have
changed
(
significant
)
,
however
,
that
?
s
not
to
say
that
our
kids
these
days
can
?
t
still
enjoy
the
best
of
both
worlds
.
What
can
you
do
as
a
parent
to
counterbalance
this
?
There
is
simply
no
point
in
(
remove
)
technology
from
your
teen
because
you
then
enter
the
danger
zone
of
excluding
them
from
their
friends
.
However
,
you
can
lay
down
some
ground
rules
.
As
schools
close
their
doors
due
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic
,
and
as
the
United
Kingdom
goes
into
lockdown
,
stars
are
turning
into
teachers
.
Many
(
fame
)
faces
are
helping
out
by
launching
daily
lessons
on
their
social
media
accounts
to
help
keep
children
busy
and
(
involve
)
.
Recently
,
Myleene
Klass
,
a
British
talented
singer
and
pianist
,
(
launch
)
her
own
YouTube
channel
.
The
star
(
great
)
enjoys
teaching
the
children
about
music
with
regular
videos
.
She
posted
on
Instagram
:
"
Music
has
always
been
seen
as
an
(
excite
)
subject
.
But
now
,
it
?
s
what
seems
to
be
soothing
people
?
s
minds
and
souls
.
So
let
?
s
pass
on
the
love
and
enjoy
ourselves
.

Jane
Parker
is
the
most
creative
person
that
I
have
known
.
She
(
started
-
starts
-
starting
)
piano
lessons
when
she
was
only
six
years
old
.
At
school
,
she
was
always
creating
(
interested
-
interesting
-
interest
)
projects
in
her
art
classes
.
When
she
was
only
twelve
years
old
,
she
(
earned
-
purchased
-
won
)
a
citywide
poetry
competition
.
Her
parents
were
very
proud
(
of
-
with
-
at
)
her
.
Now
Jane
works
as
a
sitcom
writer
for
a
popular
T
.
V
show
.
She
works
with
a
group
of
writers
,
and
together
they
(
decide
-
think
-
make
)
of
fresh
projects
.
They
also
come
up
with
funny
dialogues
which
make
the
audience
(
share
-
quarrel
-
laugh
)
and
clap
their
hands
out
of
pleasure
.
Researchers
said
that
children
who
grow
up
feeling
close
to
nature
are
happier
than
others
.
They
added
that
children
who
feel
(
invited
/
forced
/
connected
)
to
nature
have
a
positive
view
towards
life
.
That
is
why
parents
should
take
their
kids
(
off
/
to
/
at
)
the
wild
,
help
them
learn
to
protect
the
planet
and
be
happy
.
"
Our
children
are
the
future
(
loggers
/
offenders
/
protectors
)
of
this
planet
.
Therefore
,
inculcating
positive
behaviour
and
environmental
care
in
them
is
important
,
"
said
Dr
Laura
Berrera
from
Sonora
Institute
of
Technology
.
"
(
Be
/
Being
/
Been
)
close
to
nature
is
not
just
loving
its
(
beauty
/
beautiful
/
beautifully
)
,
but
also
appreciating
its
variety
and
feeling
part
of
it
,
"
she
added
.
Earth
Hour
is
an
event
where
you
turn
off
all
unnecessary
lights
between
8
and
9
p
.
m
.
People
in
groups
and
have
fun
without
using
power
.
Things
like
dancing
,
fireworks
and
musical
performances
are
popular
and
it
?
s
very
fun
to
take
in
.
Earth
Hour
isn
?
t
just
about
saving
.
It
?
s
also
about
planting
forests
,
building
solar
panels
and
passing
laws
to
the
environment
.
Earth
Hour
is
also
a
very
fun
way
to
raise
awareness
the
environment
.
It
proves
that
even
doing
a
little
thing
,
like
turning
the
lights
off
one
hour
can
make
a
little
difference
.
Volunteering
is
an
opportunity
to
change
people
?
s
lives
,
including
your
own
.
It
gives
you
the
satisfaction
of
playing
a
(
game
/
role
/
responsibility
)
in
someone
else
?
s
life
and
helping
people
who
may
not
be
able
to
help
(
themselves
/
yourself
/
yourselves
)
.
It
is
a
way
of
giving
back
to
your
community
while
developing
important
(
social
/
society
/
socially
)
skills
,
and
gaining
valuable
work
experience
all
at
the
same
time
.
One
of
the
(
more
/
much
/
most
)
significant
values
you
can
gain
from
volunteering
is
(
enacting
/
reacting
/
interacting
)
and
cooperating
with
others
.
When
I
first
began
volunteering
at
a
hospital
,
I
was
very
timid
and
nervous
(
with
/
about
/
at
)
meeting
new
people
.
Then
I
learned
to
introduce
myself
to
new
volunteers
,
make
patients
feel
welcome
,
and
extend
a
hand
of
friendship
to
others
.
At
the
age
of
60
,
John
Duffy
started
volunteering
with
Ottawa
Health
Center
.
The
main
(
solution
/
reason
/
donation
)
was
to
be
able
to
give
back
to
his
society
;
standing
by
newcomers
to
Canada
and
(
those
/
that
/
this
)
living
on
low
income
.
Ever
since
John
started
volunteering
,
he
(
is
doing
/
was
doing
/
has
done
)
a
lot
of
things
:
driving
old
people
to
medical
appointments
,
helping
them
pick
up
groceries
and
caring
(
of
/
for
/
on
)
them
when
crossing
the
road
.
Like
many
volunteers
,
John
discovered
that
the
career
skills
(
which
/
who
/
what
)
he
has
learned
are
put
to
good
use
.
"
I
love
the
gratitude
that
people
show
after
helping
them
,
"
John
said
.
"
Volunteering
is
definitely
about
(
serving
/
approving
/
exciting
)
the
community
where
we
live
.
It
is
also
about
getting
new
experience
.
