With today’s social media, it is possible to find online reviews of
everything from a local park or café to a famous restaurant or museum.
Before you book a holiday, you can read what other people think of a hotel
or car hire company and what they recommend you do when you get there.
Although this means you can get information very easily, in my view, this
is not as useful information as you can get from a guidebook.
To begin with, we need to ask ourselves why people write reviews
online. Whilst it is sometimes because people like writing their opinions, at
other times they have a reason for writing it. Perhaps they know the
owners of the café, or perhaps they are the owners of the café! That is why
they give it a good review.
Secondly, who are the people writing the reviews? It is difficult to
know this information. If they are 50-year-old Europeans, will they have
the same opinion as you? It is very hard to know if you are going to like the
same places that they like.
Lastly, we need to remember that guidebook writers are usually
experts. You can trust them for accurate information and a balanced point
of view. They also know who is using their books, so if the book is intended
to be for young people, they will recommend places that young people will
like.
To conclude, online reviews are useful, but it’s important to
remember that they are just people’s opinions. If you want to know what
experts think, personally I think you should buy a guidebook.
12. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Online reviews are always accurate and useful.
B. Guidebooks provide more reliable information than online reviews.
C. Social media has no impact on travel choices.
D. Only experts should write reviews.
13. Why does the writer think online reviews are not always useful?
A. They are not easy to find.
B. They only focus on negative experiences.
C. They are often written by people with personal interests.
D. They do not cover enough locations.
14. What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Guidebooks B. Tourists
C. Café owners D. Reviewers
15. What, according to the passage, is one reason people write online
reviews?
A. To share honest experiences only.
B. To compare different guidebooks.
C. To discourage people from traveling.
D. To advertise places they are connected to.
16. Why might a 50-year-old European tourist’s review not be useful to a
younger traveler?
A. Older people do not travel often.
B. Older tourists only visit historical sites.
C. Older tourists only visit historical sites.
D. Young people do not read reviews.
17. Which word is a synonym for "accurate" in paragraph 4?
A. Reliable B. Negative
C. Personal D. Common
18. What does the phrase "balanced point of view" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Including positive and negative opinions
B. Writing long reviews
C. Only recommending luxury locations
D. Ignoring other people's opinions
19. What can be inferred about the writer’s opinion on online reviews?
A. They should be banned.
B. They are not always trustworthy.

Lotfia Elnadi was born in Cairo in 1907 to a government-official father
and a devoted mother. Her magnificent achievements have opened doors
for female pilots throughout the entire Arab world.
Not long after it opened, Lotfia Elnadi decided to join the Cairo aviation
school in order to learn to fly. Her instructor realized she had great
potential and after less than seventy days of training she earned her pilot’s
license. Consequently, from September 1933, at the age of 26 she was
officially allowed to pursue her dream of flying which, she claimed, made
her feel free. If becoming the first Arab female pilot in history was not
enough, Lotfia Elnadi made newspaper headlines again only a few months
after getting her license. She became the second woman in the world to fly
solo when she entered a race from Cairo to Alexandria.
Lotfia’s determination to achieve her dream is something many pilots
admire today. Her struggle to overcome the difficulties, such as paying for
her flying lessons by working at the airport as a receptionist, is part of a
documentary about her life called Take Off From the Sand, made in 1996.
Lotfia Elnadi died at the age of 95 in 2002, but her life story will continue
to inspire other Arab women to accomplish their goals.
