Whether you are writing a book review, a short essay, or a research paper, clarity is extremely important. But not all of us have the ability to express our ideas effectively when writing. Luckily, there are a few steps that everyone, especially students, can take to write more clearly. First of all, you should figure out exactly what you want to say in your head. The easiest way to do this is to make an outline of your main ideas to make sure that when you write, you will have a clear structure that you can stick to and will not forget important ideas or writing off-topic. Remember: Clear thinking is the first step to clear writing. Secondly, embrace simplicity. Many people, especially high-school level writers, often believe that a piece of writing full of long sentences and uncommon words is a good one. However, good writing is actually uncomplicated, with complex structures or formal vocabulary being used only to precisely convey a specific feeling or idea. If you're trying to improve your writing by adding extra clauses to your sentences or searching for complex synonyms of simple words, you’re probably moving in the wrong direction. Instead, simplify so that readers can easily understand what you are trying to express. Another thing you should do is to stick to one idea per sentence. A lot of writers tend to put multiple ideas into one sentence, but it would actually be better to break things up into separate, shorter sentences because this would maximize clarity. Of course, this doesn't mean that writers should never write long sentences under all circumstances. Some ideas are so complex that they require long sentences to be clearly expressed, and a few lengthy sentences can give your essay a pleasing sense of rhythm and flow. But if clarity is your aim, try to break things down more. (Adapted from blog.cambridgecoaching.com) Question 23: The phrase stick to in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.

Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. [I] In a shipyard on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, a small team is building what could become the world's largest clean cargo ship. [II] Ceiba is the first vessel built by Sailcargo, a company trying to prove that zero-carbon shipping is possible, and commercially viable. [III] Once on the water, it will be capable of crossing oceans entirely without the use of fossil fuels. [IV] “The thing that sets Ceiba apart is the fact that she'll have one of the largest marine electric engines of her kind in the world," says Danielle Doggett, managing director and cofounder of Sailcargo. The system also has the ability to capture energy from the movement of its underwater propellers as well as solar power, so electricity will be available for the engine when needed. “Really, the only restrictions on how long she can stay at sea is water and food on board for the crew.” For Ceiba's builders, one of the ship's main attractions is to provide a much-needed burst of clean energy in an industry that has long been a big contributor to climate change. The global shipping sector emitted over a billion tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2018, equivalent to around 3% of global emissions — an astonishing level that exceeds the climate impact of Germany’s entire economy. Despite the establishment of new international climate goals, the sector continues to be slow to implement concrete measures to cut emissions. Doggett agrees that far more policy and government action is needed to help reduce shipping emissions. At the same time, she says, the private sector can demonstrate what is possible. "I feel like the largest barrier to success is proving that clean shipping is valuable," she says. “I'm really hoping that if we can set a precedent with a for- profit company that can claim the world's largest and completely emission-free cargo ship, then we can wave these numbers like a flag and say: 'Look, people who are writing the policy, we already did it today.' Because it's not impossible." Before even leaving the shipyard, Ceiba’s diary is filling up fast. With at least a year to go until its first journey on the oceans, it already generated interest in her initial northbound voyages from companies willing to pay a premium for emissions-free transport of products such as green coffee, cacao, and organic cotton. In addition, Sailcargo is already planning a second, similar vessel, and is also in the initial stages of developing plans to build a much larger, more modern design. "In five years, we would hopefully be laying the keel of a very large, commercially viable competitive vessel," says Doggett.
