Dear Lily,

We hope you are doing well and that your studies are going smoothly.

A.  To protect personal data, please upload files only through the secure form in your application portal instead of sending them through social media messages.

B.  Some students have recently asked whether they may send extra materials by direct message because it seems faster and more convenient.

C.  If we need anything else, our admissions team will contact you by email, which is why checking your inbox regularly is still important.

D.  Those messages can be missed, and they may also expose phone numbers or private account details to people outside the review process.

e. For that reason, all updates, documents, and interview notices should stay in one official system that both students and staff can track clearly.

Best regards,

Westbridge College Admissions Office

Question 16:

A.  By the end of the week, I realized I was checking my screen time report more often than I was actually resting, which made the whole plan feel pointless.

B.  On Monday, I promised myself I would spend less time online, so I deleted two social media apps from my phone before going to bed.

C.  Instead of feeling calmer, I became annoyed because I kept reinstalling one app to reply to group messages and then removing it again.

D.  After that, I changed my approach and set two phone-free periods each day, and that simple routine has worked much better for me.

e. Now I still use social media, but I no longer treat digital well-being like a contest to become completely offline.

Question 17:

A.  This is especially true in short videos, where a trend often looks harmless because it is mixed with humor, quick editing, and familiar music.

B.  As a result, young users need a simple habit of asking who benefits from a post, what evidence it shows, and why it is suddenly appearing everywhere.

C.  Online trends are not always just entertainment; some of them quietly shape what people believe, buy, or repeat to others.

D.  Without that pause, people may copy advice, products, or opinions that were designed more to attract attention than to help anyone.

e. A skin-care challenge, for example, may seem like friendly sharing at first, but repeated posts from influencers and shops can turn it into unpaid advertising that also spreads doubtful claims.
