Urbanization: Reasons and Results

Urbanization, the movement of people from rural to urban areas, has become a defining trend globally. (I). The primary reason for urbanization is the search for better economic opportunities. Cities typically offer more jobs, higher wages, and career growth potential, attracting people from less developed regions. (II). In addition, urban areas often provide greater access to education, healthcare, and essential services, which are typically limited in rural regions. (III). Collectively, these factors make cities particularly appealing to young people who seek to improve their quality of life and to families looking for better opportunities for their children. (IV)

Another major driver of urbanization is infrastructure development. Cities often invest heavily in transportation, advanced communication networks, and reliable public services, which make urban living more convenient and efficient. Such infrastructure attracts both businesses and residents, contributing to a city’s economic expansion and reinforcing the cycle of urban growth. This availability of resources and opportunities makes cities desirable for companies and individuals, boosting both local economies and international business appeal.

However, urbanization also presents significant challenges. Overcrowding, traffic congestion, and increased pollution are common in highly urbanized areas. These problems strain city resources and can reduce the quality of life for residents. Furthermore, as cities expand, they often encroach on natural landscapes, leading to habitat destruction and a loss of biodiversity. This encroachment affects local ecosystems and can create environmental issues that extend beyond city borders. Balancing urban growth with sustainable practices remains a critical issue for many cities worldwide.

In response, some cities are adopting “smart growth” policies. These policies aim to manage urban expansion in a way that minimizes environmental impact and promotes a higher quality of life. By focusing on sustainable infrastructure, green spaces, and efficient resource management, smart growth policies attempt to address the downsides of urbanization while still supporting economic and social development.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 33 to 40.

In an increasingly interconnected world, learning a second language has become more than just a useful skill—it is a necessity. With globalization facilitating greater interaction between countries and cultures, the ability to communicate in more than one language offers significant advantages in both personal and professional contexts.

In many industries, such as international business, diplomacy, and tourism, being bilingual or multilingual is considered an essential asset. Furthermore, learning another language fosters cross-cultural understanding, enabling individuals to appreciate diverse perspectives and engage more meaningfully with people from different backgrounds.

On a cognitive level, learning a second language has been proven to enhance brain function. Bilingualism not only improves memory and concentration but also increases cognitive flexibility, allowing individuals to switch between tasks more efficiently. In fact, studies have shown that people who speak more than one language are better at multitasking and problem-solving compared to monolinguals. Moreover, learning a second language can delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The mental exercises involved in acquiring and maintaining language skills keep the brain sharp and active, providing long-term cognitive health benefits.

In addition to cognitive and social benefits, mastering a second language can open up a wealth of professional opportunities. In today’s competitive job market, employers increasingly value candidates who can communicate with clients and colleagues across language barriers. Many global companies prefer to hire bilingual or multilingual employees who can help them expand into new markets and build stronger relationships with international partners. While learning a new language can be challenging, especially for adults, the rewards are substantial. With dedication, patience, and the right learning strategies, anyone can successfully acquire a second language and enjoy the many advantages that come with it.
