(26) ______ ,the benefits of studying abroad - such as broadening your mind, improving

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Having a hobby that you enjoy—whether that’s crocheting a sweater for your beastie’s new
baby, hitting the slopes to enjoy some fresh powder, or practicing pirouettes in ballet
class—has all sorts of well-documented benefits, from lower levels of stress to an increased
sense of belonging and purpose. Clearly, hobbies can make a serious impact on your quality
of life. But they can also improve your work performance. According to licensed
professional counselor Rebecca Weiler, when you’re engaged and fulfilled in your life
outside of work like you are when you’re pursuing meaningful hobbies, that happiness spills
over. It can make you more focused and enthusiastic when you’re on the job.
And depending on the hobby, the skills you gain as a result of your leisurely pursuits can
also make you better at your job and make you a more appealing candidate for potential
employers. “For example, someone who performs in an improvisational group as a hobby
could be attractive to an employer because they can think quickly on their feet and may also
be more comfortable presenting in front of a group of people,” Weiler says.
So, having a hobby that you love can do good things for your life and your job. But what
if you don’t actually have a hobby you enjoy? You’re not alone. According to Weiler, trying
to find meaningful hobbies is one of the primary reasons her clients—especially young
people—seek counseling. Clearly, there are plenty of people out there who don’t have, or
Trang 4
don’t know how to find, a hobby. But that doesn’t mean they can’t find one. It doesn’t
matter if you’re 25 or 85 years old—it’s not too late to hop on board the hobby train!

From smartphones and tablets to apps and social media, society is ambushed from all
sides with technology. Naturally, all generations embrace it differently, with younger
“digital natives” generally being more connected, more switched-on and more tech literate
than older age groups.
According to Pew Research, 92% of Millennials (born 1981–1996) own smartphones,
compared with 85% of Gen Xers (born 1965–1980) and 67% of Baby Boomers (born 1946–
1964). In terms of tech behavior, older generations tend to use their phones mostly for
making calls, whereas for younger generations, a phone is their digital window to the world.
Phones are used for social media, going online, texting, emailing, playing games, listening
to music, and recording and watching videos.
The daily media consumption of different generations also vastly differs. Gen Z and
Millennials favor streaming and online services, with 46% of teens saying they use Netflix
compared to 31% of those aged over 16. Furthermore, 16-24s spend 30% of their downtime
watching TV or video, compared to 40% of time spent on these activities by the average UK
adult. Boomers spend a whopping 344 minutes a day watching regular TV, significantly
more than any other age group.
Size also matters more depending on your decade of birth. Younger generations prefer
smaller screens sizes, opting for a smartphone as their go-to tech, while Generation X and
technology newbies - the Boomers, are going bigger, owning more desktops and tablets.
Trang 5
Always in the front of the queue for the hottest tech, younger generations see technology as
an integral part of their existence, and since few Millennials and Gen Z can remember a
time without social media, they’re more fearless and carefree when it comes to technology.
So much so, that a LivePerson report revealed 65% of Millennials and Gen Z interact more
with each other online than they do in the real world.
Fundamentally, these behaviors and preferred technologies combine to create a
technological generation gap, where employees, shaped by their personal experiences,
demonstrate different levels of ability and willingness to adopt new tech. Constantly chasing
the next update or device, switched on Millennials and Gen Z are quick to lap up the latest
apps, games, and platforms, while Gen X and Boomers are generally slower to embrace
technology - both at home and in the workplace.
