First Term Test


Read the text carefully then do the activities.

Peace is one of the most essential things we need to make us succeed. Without it, there will be conflicts and
wars, and we all will be too busy trying to protect our lives and the lives of those we care the most. During wars,
we will have bad conditions of life . The constant fear of being captured or even death will eat our brain, so it
will be impossible to create wonderfulness in the midst of war.
The consequences of the absence of peace in our world are so terrifying. Imagine how conflicts can break
apart families, friends, communities, and nations. Our friends can be our enemies. The love that we once share
can disappear just like that due to non existence of peace. Without peace, the possibility to lose everything that
we have is also at the biggest. Wars have been long known as the biggest life taker ever. Lots of people die
during wars. If there is no peace in this world, we and our friends and families can die. Imagine the pain of losing
someone that you love. Not only losing the people you love, but you can also lose everything you have or earn.
Bombing during wars can destroy your houses and your belongings. You have nothing left but this emptiness
that you feel due to your loss.
With peace, you can live side by side with everyone. You will not spend your mind, your energy, and your
money on wars. Instead, you can spend them on trying to innovate something that can bring welfare to the entire
world. That is why peace is very important in our lives, in our world.
