Passage 3
The office clock kept ticking,with each second serving as a constant reminder of the task
before me.I was seated at my desk,my eyes shifting between the large pile of reports that had
to be prepared for the upcoming meeting and the attractive light of my phone screen.I
Nevertheless,there I was,scrolling through()social media feeds and typing out messages
that'd have been sent.
"I'll start in a bit,"I told myself,justifying the delay with the promise of future
productivity.But as the minutes turned into hours,the weight of my procrastination (
grew heavier.2

the documents.As I rushed into the conference room,I could feel the eyes of my workmates on
me."I apologize for the delay,"I said,my voice shaking.3 I saw the disappointment in
the company manager's eyes.I realized the consequences of my actions.
The meeting proceeded,but the air was tense.I'd let my team down,and more
importantly,I'd let myself down.As the meeting concluded,I made a silent decision.4 I'd
take control of my time,my responsibilities,and my future.I'd become the person who meets
deadlines with ease and leads by example.
5 It required a willingness to face uncomfortable truths.But as I left the conference
room,I was ready to start that journey.I'd set clear goals,break tasks into manageable parts,
and prioritize my time effectively.

Passage 4
Graffiti and Street Art
People have been painting and writing on walls throughout history.In prehistoric times,
people in Africa and Europe used to paint pictures of animals and people in caves.1.In the
Roman town of Pompeii,archaeologists have found numerous examples of graffiti written in
Latin.These include religious,political and romantic messages,and even some magic spells.
In the late twentieth century,graffiti and street art became an interational phenomenon.In
the 1970s,young people in New York used pens to write their names,or "tags",on walls
around the city.One of the first taggers was Demetrius.At first,he wrote his tag on walls in his
neighborhood.Then he started tagging in subway stations on the way to and from school.When
the subway train stopped at a station,he would jump off,write his tag on the wall and then
jump back on before the doors closed.Other teenagers noticed Demetrius's tag and started to
write their own.2.
But is graffiti art or damage?American artist Elura Emerald organized a street art
exhibition at a New York Gallery in 2008."Street artists and artists who paint on the street are
merely expressing themselves,not hurting anyone.3."she defended.
4.In many countries,writing or painting on public or private property is considered
illegal.Many street artists have been stopped by the police and some have had to pay fines.
Many city councils complain about the high cost of cleaning graffiti off buildings,buses and
trains.
However,some countries take a more tolerant attitude.In some countries,councils have
tried to encourage artists not to paint randomly on walls by allowing them to work in specific
areas.5.
A.Policies also vary from region to region
B.They should be appreciated and celebrated
C.There are exhibitions of street art in major cities such as Paris
D.The city's walls,buses and subway trains were covered with tags soon
E.In Greece and Italy,graffiti has been found on buildings at ancient sites
F.In Paris,there are "graffiti zones"where artists are free to paint and write
G.There has been a growing recognition of its value in the past few decades
