If you are not, then you may need to look elsewhere Second, learn with others By yourself, learning anything has a high propensity to become frustrating Try teaming up with friends or colleagues They can often be your best resource for maintaining motivation while you learn Third, make it a habit Online habits often include scrolling through social media or watching videos on YouTube If you have the downtime for such activities, then you could spend that downtime learning something And why not learn something? If you do, then you will have plenty more to talk about on social media anyways So, make learning your new online habit by making a commitment to learn something new each day Câu 32: What does the word "both" in Paragraph refer to?

Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this non-renewable resource increasingly And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every year around the world Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic bags, should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world grinding to a halt So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones While governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible Cut down your use of plastic, and your bit to save our planet (Source: https://helpsavenature.com/) Câu 40: Which of the following could be the best tittle of the passage?
