Question II   Read the passage and answer the questions.
Visual pollution has a greater effect on people than you may think. I remember when I went to a big city, I was really scared because there was so much graffiti on the buildings' walls. Then I looked up, and I saw a lot of power lines over my head. Although they were not dangerous, I still felt unsafe since I thought they might fall down. These things prevented me from enjoying the beautiful sights of the city.
I also remember the time when I was a student at a university. Once I was so busy with my assignments that I did not tidy my room for two weeks. Looking at the messy room caused me so much stress that I did not want to study. Then I decided to clean the room and put my things in their proper places. I also bought a small plant and placed it in a corner of the room. These simple actions increased my motivation and helped me to focus on my learning.

 Read the following passage, then answer the questions. 

In the first year of lower secondary school, I had some difficulties in learning English. My English pronunciation was really bad & my English grammar was worse. I did not know about this. One afternoon after the lesson, my English teacher told me to wait for her outside the classroom. She took me to the school library & showed me cassettes of pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to use an English – English dictionary to improve my English grammar. “Now I think you know what you should do”, said she. I made much progress & only one year later, I won the first prize in the English Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in my hometown.
