Part 2: 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 following questions.

My mom is an accountant. She keeps track of the money that her company makes and spends. It's a nine-to-five job, and she really likes it. However, some people prefer not to work a nine-to-five job. This kind of job has both advantages and disadvantages.

My mom's job has some pretty good advantages. One advantage is that she gets a regular salary, which means she makes the same money each month. This helps her save money and plan for the future more easily. Moreover, the job comes with great perks, such as a company outing each year, dinners and parties, health insurance, and even a gym membership. In addition, the work-life balance of a nine-to-five job is not terrible because you have evenings off, and you don't usually work on the weekends.

On the other hand, I think there are some disadvantages of working a nine-to-five job, too. If you want to make more money, it can be pretty difficult. Your salary is the same each month. You have to get promoted to a higher position or leave and find a job with a higher salary. In contrast to my mom's job, some nine-to-five jobs don't offer good benefits at all. Finally, some people don't like the work-life balance of nine-to-five jobs. My mom has to work about 40 hours each week, which is quite a lot, and the hours aren't usually flexible.

In summary, there are some good benefits to my mom's nine-to-five office job, but not every job has them. It's great to have a regular salary and perks, but some people might prefer a better work-life balance.

Part 1: (REVIEW 1_English 12_Global Success)
Now, let's look at this photo. Well, this is Forest Festival or Van Mahotsav in India, a tree-planting 
festival taking place in the first week of July every year since 1950. Its aim is to raise people's 
awareness about the importance of forests in India. As part of the festival, thousands of trees are planted 
by both children and adults all over the country. 
Next, I'll talk about Tet Festival, or Vietnamese New Year traditions. As part of the celebration, people 
release live fish into rivers a week before the festival officially begins. This tradition comes from an 
ancient story and is believed to bring good luck. It is also used to promote the protection and 
conservation of freshwater habitats. The event is now monitored by local authorities to ensure fish species 
are suitable for the ecological conditions of rivers.
Music festivals are also becoming eco-friendly, and one example is Paléo Festival in Switzerland, which 
is held in July every year. Back in 2009, it introduced reusable cups. Festival goers are also encouraged to 
use public transport as much as possible. Most food stalls sell local, organic, or vegetarian food. The 
festival is also committed to using 100 per cent green energy.
Now, do you know any other eco-friendly festivals or traditions?

Part 2: 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 following questions.
 My mom is an accountant. She keeps track of the money that her company makes and spends. It's a 
nine-to-five job, and she really likes it. However, some people prefer not to work a nine-to-five job. This 
kind of job has both advantages and disadvantages.
 My mom's job has some pretty good advantages. One advantage is that she gets a regular salary, 
which means she makes the same money each month. This helps her save money and plan for the future 
more easily. Moreover, the job comes with great perks, such as a company outing each year, dinners and 
parties, health insurance, and even a gym membership. In addition, the work-life balance of a nine-to-five 
job is not terrible because you have evenings off, and you don't usually work on the weekends.
 On the other hand, I think there are some disadvantages of working a nine-to-five job, too. If you 
want to make more money, it can be pretty difficult. Your salary is the same each month. You have to get 
promoted to a higher position or leave and find a job with a higher salary. In contrast to my mom's job, 
some nine-to-five jobs don't offer good benefits at all. Finally, some people don't like the work-life balance 
of nine-to-five jobs. My mom has to work about 40 hours each week, which is quite a lot, and the hours 
aren't usually flexible.
 In summary, there are some good benefits to my mom's nine-to-five office job, but not every job has 
them. It's great to have a regular salary and perks, but some people might prefer a better work-life balance.
