Reading Passage:


Smart Homes and the Future of Technology

Smart homes are the future of technology, and they have the potential to revolutionize the way we live. A smart home is a residence that uses internet-connected devices to enable the remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems, such as lighting and heating. Smart homes can also incorporate features such as voice-activated assistants, security systems, and even smart gardening tools.

The benefits of smart homes are numerous. They can increase energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of a household. They can also make daily tasks more convenient, such as turning off lights or adjusting the temperature without leaving the couch. Additionally, smart homes can provide increased security, with features such as surveillance cameras and automatic door locks.

However, there are also concerns about the privacy and security of smart homes. As these devices collect more personal data, there is a risk of this information being misused or stolen. There is also the potential for hackers to gain access to a smart home and control devices or obtain sensitive information.

Despite these concerns, the potential benefits of smart homes make them an exciting prospect for the future. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that smart homes will become even more commonplace and accessible.

Task 6


Reading Passage:


The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).
