XIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression were a leading cause of global health problems
even before the spread of COVID-19; however, they’ve gotten worse. Since the first year of the COVID-19
pandemic, anxiety and depression rates worldwide have increased by an overwhelming 25%. (Câu 4 ) In the
U.S, 4 in 10 adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depression during the pandemic, compared with 1 in
10 from January to June 2019.
Among the most affected are young adults and women ( câu 5 ). The surge in people struggling with
mental illnesses has coincided with gaps in mental care services as well.
Research suggests that the pandemic has exacerbated the impacts of loneliness ( Câu 5 ý A ). Additionally,
people’s fear of missing out, also known as FOMO, hasn’t decreased even since in-person social gatherings
became less frequent. ( Câu 5 ý D ) But small daily actions - such as a short walk, break from social media or
even a catnap - can add up to have an impact on mental health. Separately, counselling, therapy and medication
prescribed by health care providers are effective treatments for those experiencing mental illness.

XIV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
The average daily time spent online by adults increased by nearly an hour during the UK’s spring
lockdown when compared to the previous year, according to communications regulator Ofcom, with numerous
countries back under severe pandemic restrictions, many of us once again find ourselves questioning whether
our heavy reliance on technology is impacting our health.
It’s true that digital devices have provided new means of work, education, connection, and
entertainment during lockdown. But the perceived pressure to be online, the tendency to procrastinate to avoid
undertaking tasks, and the use of digital platforms as a way to escape stress all have the potential to turn healthy
behaviours into habits. This repetitive use can develop into addictive patterns, which can in turn affect a user’s
wellbeing.
Digital addiction refers to the addictive and excessive use of digital devices. The design of digital
platforms themselves contributes to this addictive use. Notifications, news feeds, likes and comments have all
been shown to contribute towards a battle for your attention, which leads users to increase the time they spend
looking at screens.
Screen time is an obvious measure of digital addiction, although researchers have noted that there is no
simple way to determine how much screen time one can experience before it becomes problematic. As such,
there is a continued lack of consensus on how we should think about and measure digital addiction.
During a global pandemic, when there often feels like no alternative to using Netflix, or video
conferencing with friends and family, screen time as an indicator of digital addiction is clearly ineffective.
Nonetheless, research conducted on preventing digital addiction does provide insights on how we can all
engage with our digital technologies in a healthier way during a lockdown.
