Read the text to answer question:
Language learning styles and strategies are among the
main factors that help determine how – and how well – our
students learn a second or foreign language. The term L2
is used in this text to refer to either a second or a foreign
language, following the tradition in our field.
Learning styles are the general approaches – global or
analytic, auditory or visual – that students use in acquiring
a new language or in learning any other subject. These
styles are “the overall patterns that give general direction to
learning behavior” (Cornett 1983, p. 9). Of great relevance
is this statement: “Learning style is the biologically and
developmentally imposed set of characteristics that make the
same teaching method wonderful for some and terrible for
others” (Dunn and Griggs 1988, p. 3).
Learning strategies are defined as “specific actions,
behaviors, steps, or techniques – such as seeking out
conversation partners, or giving oneself encouragement
to tackle a difficult language task – used by students to
enhance their own learning” (Scarcella and Oxford 1992, p.
63). When the learner consciously chooses strategies that
fit his or her learning style and the L2 task at hand, these
strategies become a useful tool-kit for active, conscious, and
purposeful self-regulation of learning. Learning strategies can
be classified into six types: cognitive, metacognitive, memoryrelated, compensatory, affective, and social.

TEXT 2
THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC GAP IN FOREIGNLANGUAGE LEARNING
Teaching foreign languages has become a major goal for
many education systems around the world. In today’s
increasingly interconnected world, speaking multiple
languages improves employability, fosters respect for
people from other cultures, and gives young people direct
access to content that would otherwise be inaccessible,
including literature, music, theatre and cinema (OECD,
2020a).
For the first time in 2018, PISA asked students whether
they studied foreign languages at school and how much
class time they had on foreign languages per week. Results
show that learning foreign languages is widely available to
15-year-olds in today’s education systems. However, these
opportunities are not evenly distributed among students of
different socio-economic status: students in advantaged
schools have more opportunities to learn foreign languages
than students in disadvantaged schools. These socioeconomic disparities in foreign-language instruction time
are telling as they correlate to inequity in student
achievement in other areas – in reading, for example.
These results suggest the existence of a social divide not
previously measured that leaves some students unprepared
for effective communication with others from different
cultural and language backgrounds.

TEXT 1
LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TODAY
Until a few years ago, learning a foreign language took
place largely in the classroom, within an education system.
It usually meant learning grammar rules and vocabulary,
doing written exercises, reading specially written texts and
answering comprehension questions and - possibly -
listening to recorded texts (and answering further
comprehension questions about these, too). A lot of people
learned the language this way; in fact, you may have done
so yourself.
However, some adults who first experienced a foreign
language at school in the past did not have much success
with it. This was often because they could only see the
difficulties, such as the differences between the L1 and the
target language (L2). They often became demotivated and
decided that English was too difficult, that it had no real
use for them, and many of them gave it up as soon as they
could. They joined the large worldwide community of
unsuccessful foreign language learners.
Today, however, because English is so widely available on
the web, and in social media, as well as in many
workplaces, it has become a reality - and even a
requirement - for a great many people. As a result, it is
much easier to see the connection between what is done in
the classroom and the use of the language in the outside
world, and to ensure that the first can be seen to be a
practical preparation for the second.

According to text CG2A1-II, judge the item that follow.
Text CG2A1-II
Virtual reality (VR) can, in its own imperfect ways,
transport a user into distant experiences. One thing VR can’t yet
do, however, is simulate the experience of eating lunch. But that
could change thanks to a new “bio-integrated gustatory interface”
device called e-Taste.
Researchers from Ohio State University created a small
electromagnetic pump connected to a liquid channel of chemicals
that, when mixed in the right ratios, can approximate the taste of
coffee, lemonade, cake, and other food and drinks. That newly
crafted chemical liquid is then pushed through via a gel. Users
ultimately experience the taste as a liquid that sits in their mouth.
And while an initial group of human test subjects struggled to
accurately differentiate between different taste profiles, the study
suggests a future VR steakhouse experience might not be as
far-fetched as it sounds.
The researchers tested their new device on 10 volunteers
and received mixed results. On the positive side, the test subjects
were able to differentiate between various sour taste profile
intensities with approximately 70 percent accuracy. The tests
were less conclusive though when researchers asked participants
to distinguish between flavors intended to represent cake, fried
egg, coffee, and fish soup. That discrepancy is not necessarily
due entirely to poor device performance, though. Even in the
physical world, taste is inherently subjective. Factors such as
smell, memory, and visual cues can influence how we perceive
food. Two people might experience the taste of the same meal
slightly differently. “Taste and smell are greatly related to human
emotion and memory,” added one of the researchers. “So our
sensor has to learn to capture, control, and store all that
information.”
The e-Taste researchers believe their device could also
have applications beyond video games. Theoretically, the
technology could one day allow users to virtually taste-test items
before ordering them. Medical professionals might also use the
device to remotely assess whether patients have lost certain
aspects of taste, which could be an early indicator of illness.
Additionally, the device could serve as an aid in reintroducing
taste sensations to individuals with certain neurological disorders
or illnesses, such as long COVID, that have impaired their ability
to taste food.

The test subjects of the research mentioned in the text could
accurately distinguish between sour taste intensities most of
the time.

Text CG2A1-II
Virtual reality (VR) can, in its own imperfect ways,
transport a user into distant experiences. One thing VR can’t yet
do, however, is simulate the experience of eating lunch. But that
could change thanks to a new “bio-integrated gustatory interface”
device called e-Taste.
Researchers from Ohio State University created a small
electromagnetic pump connected to a liquid channel of chemicals
that, when mixed in the right ratios, can approximate the taste of
coffee, lemonade, cake, and other food and drinks. That newly
crafted chemical liquid is then pushed through via a gel. Users
ultimately experience the taste as a liquid that sits in their mouth.
And while an initial group of human test subjects struggled to
accurately differentiate between different taste profiles, the study
suggests a future VR steakhouse experience might not be as
far-fetched as it sounds.
The researchers tested their new device on 10 volunteers
and received mixed results. On the positive side, the test subjects
were able to differentiate between various sour taste profile
intensities with approximately 70 percent accuracy. The tests
were less conclusive though when researchers asked participants
to distinguish between flavors intended to represent cake, fried
egg, coffee, and fish soup. That discrepancy is not necessarily

The text states that, even though they have tried, the creators
of e-Taste could not emulate the experience of eating lunch.

In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the use of
“far-fetched” implies that the possibility of a VR steakhouse
experience comes across as highly unrealistic and unlikely to
occur.

Text CG2A1-I
Industry, government and law enforcement agencies are in race to keep up with the vast cybercrime ecosystem, experts say, as cybercriminals and malicious actors increasingly exploit the digital economy. “The global law enforcement community is struggling with the sheer volume of cyber-related crimes,” Jürgen Stock, the Secretary-General of INTERPOL, said during the World Economic Forum’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Davos. “The crime statistics only go in one direction, which is up.”
Cybercrime rose significantly during the COVID-19
pandemic. Currently, large and sophisticated cybercrimes continue
to be deployed today. They are also becoming more expensive for
the targeted companies and organizations. The average global cost
of a data breach reached US$ 4.45 million last year, according to
the latest research, the highest level ever recorded.
In Davos, experts maintain that so-called security by
design is key to bolstering cyber resilience. The concept of
security by design entails building cybersecurity protocols into
software and hardware products from the earliest development
stage. This approach allows safeguards to be embedded at each
state of operation and limits the chances of cybersecurity
vulnerabilities emerging as products develop and are put into use.
“It has become an imperative for the digital public
infrastructure,” Debjani Ghosh, President of Indian technology
non-profit NASSCOM, said of security by design.
The international community needs to “start thinking
about the processes we can put in place to make sure that we can
support each other and defend each other’s public
infrastructures,” Sadie Creese, a Professor of Cybersecurity at the
University of Oxford, said in Davos.

Replacing ‘sheer’ (second sentence of the first paragraph)
with massive would preserve the original meaning and
maintain the grammatical correctness of the text.
