Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 23 to 30. 

The job market is evolving rapidly, and while technical expertise remains important, soft skills are increasingly becoming key factors in hiring decisions. Employers often look for candidates with communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. These skills not only improve workplace efficiency but also foster better relationships among colleagues. According to a 2022 LinkedIn survey, 92% of recruiters stated that soft skills are as important as, if not more important than, technical skills.

Effective communication is one of the most sought after soft skills. Being able to convey ideas clearly and listen actively contributes to a collaborative work environment. For example, employees who can explain their thoughts effectively during meetings or through written reports tend to drive projects forward successfully. Moreover, good communication prevents misunderstandings, saving time and resources.

Teamwork is another essential skill that employers highly value. In today’s interconnected workspaces, many tasks require collaboration. Successful teams often consist of individuals who can share responsibilities, offer constructive feedback, and adapt to group dynamics. For instance, a software development team needs programmers, designers, and testers to work seamlessly together to deliver a product efficiently.

Problem-solving, meanwhile, allows employees to navigate challenges effectively. This skill involves analyzing a situation, identifying potential solutions, and implementing the best one. Employers appreciate candidates who demonstrate initiative and creativity in resolving issues. For example, when a supply chain disruption occurs, a proactive approach can minimize delays and maintain customer satisfaction.

According to a 2022 LinkedIn survey, 92% of recruiters stated that soft skills are as important as, if not more important than, technical skills.

Effective communication is one of the most sought after soft skills. Being able to convey ideas clearly and listen actively contributes to a collaborative work environment. For example, employees who can explain their thoughts effectively during meetings or through written reports tend to drive projects forward successfully. Moreover, good communication prevents misunderstandings, saving time and resources.

Teamwork is another essential skill that employers highly value. In today’s interconnected workspaces, many tasks require collaboration. Successful teams often consist of individuals who can share responsibilities, offer constructive feedback, and adapt to group dynamics. For instance, a software development team needs programmers, designers, and testers to work seamlessly together to deliver a product efficiently.

Problem-solving, meanwhile, allows employees to navigate challenges effectively. This skill involves analyzing a situation, identifying potential solutions, and implementing the best one. Employers appreciate candidates who demonstrate initiative and creativity in resolving issues. For example, when a supply chain disruption occurs, a proactive approach can minimize delays and maintain customer satisfaction.

In which paragraph does the writer provide the significance of presentation skill? 

Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 31 to 40.

[I] Social media has become a dominant force in modern communication, offering a range of benefits and challenges. [II] It has revolutionized the way people interact, share information, and even form relationships. [III] While these platforms offer opportunities for connection and expression, they also have their drawbacks. [IV] For instance, excessive use of social media has been linked to a range of negative effects, including mental health issues, social isolation, and decreased productivity. [V] However, when used responsibly, social media can also offer a variety of positive outcomes, such as the ability to stay connected with loved ones, network professionally, and access valuable information and resources.

One of the major benefits of social media is its ability to keep people connected. For example, individuals who live far apart can maintain close relationships through regular communication on these platforms. Social media also facilitates professional networking, allowing users to connect with potential employers or clients, and enabling companies to promote their products and services to a global audience. Additionally, platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram provide a space for people to share ideas, opinions, and creative work, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Despite these advantages, there are serious concerns about the negative impact of social media, particularly on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive social media use can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This is often attributed to the unrealistic portrayals of life that are commonly shared on these platforms, leading to comparisons that can make individuals feel inadequate or left out. Furthermore, constant exposure to negative news or online bullying can exacerbate these feelings and contribute to long-term psychological stress.

Another issue with social media is its potential to distract people from their daily responsibilities. With notifications constantly popping up and endless streams of content to scroll through, individuals may find it difficult to focus on tasks such as work, school, or personal obligations. This can result in decreased productivity and a lack of attention to important matters.

Ultimately, the impact of social media depends on how it is used. If individuals are mindful of their usage patterns and take steps to limit their time on these platforms, they can enjoy the benefits of staying connected and informed without the negative consequences. Parents, educators, and mental health professionals can also play a role in helping young people develop healthy habits and manage their social media use effectively.
