Read the following passage about endangered languages 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 23 to 30.
We all experience joy and sorrow in our lives, but have we ever wondered why we need both?
Some people might think that joy is the only thing worth pursuing, and that sorrow is something to
avoid at all costs. However, this is a shortsighted view.
The quote "We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world" is
attributed to Helen Keller, a remarkable woman who overcame blindness and deafness to become a
renowned author, activist and lecturer. She knew firsthand the challenges and hardships that life can
bring, but she also appreciated the beauty and meaning that can be found in overcoming them. She
believed that joy and sorrow are inseparable, and that they both enrich our lives in different ways.
Joy is the natural response to the good things that happen to us, such as love, friendship, success,
achievement, pleasure and satisfaction. Joy gives us a sense of happiness, gratitude, fulfilment and
optimism. It motivates us to pursue our goals and dreams, and to share our gifts and talents with
others. Joy is essential for our well-being and happiness. However, joy alone is not enough to make us
complete. Joy can blind us to the realities and needs of others, and to the opportunities for
improvement and change. We are not perfect.
On the other hand, sorrow challenges us to face our problems and difficulties, and to cope with
our emotions and feelings. Sorrow is there to make us more resilient. That said, sorrow alone is not
enough to make us grow. Sorrow can paralyse us from taking action and moving forward, making us
lose sight of our strengths and potentials.

make us more human.
