PART V : GENERAL ARTICLES

DIRECTION : Read the following articles and choose the best
answer for each question.

ARTICLE 1

(1) In today's internet-driven world, memes have become a ubiquitous part of online culture.

From humorous to political, memes have become a means of communication, often

transcending language barriers. Memes are a unique way of expressing ideas, and they are not

just for Generation Z, as Boomers and Millennials are also getting in on the action. It's a world

where a picture is worth a thousand words, and humor is the language that crosses borders. As

such, memes play a crucial role in reflecting the cultural landscape of our time.

(2) Memes are a form of satire: Memes are often used to satirize political and social issues.

For example, the "Phuket Sandbox" meme, which became popular in Thailand during the

reopening of the country's tourism after COVID-19 restrictions, was widely shared on social

media. The meme humorously depicted tourists and the strict entry rules as an absurd and

chaotic situation, reflecting both the hope and the frustration of the reopening process. It

became a symbol of online humor and commentary about the country's recovery and tourism

industry.

(3) Memes are reflections of the times: Memes often reflect the current cultural and social

climate. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in numerous memes that center around the

virus, from humorous takes on social distancing to memes about the vaccine. These memes

are a way of saying, "this is who I am, and I'm not afraid to show it."

(5) Memes are a way of connecting with others: Memes are often shared among friends and

family, and they have become a way of connecting with others. Sharing a meme is a way of

saying, "I get you, and I think this is funny too." Memes have become a shared language that

brings people together, regardless of their background or beliefs.

(6) Memes have become an integral part of internet culture, and they are not going away

anytime soon. They provide a unique way of expressing ideas, connecting with others, and

finding humor in difficult situations.

among younger audiences. By applying memes and internet culture in your blog content, you

ARTICLE 2

(1) Creativity is a vital component for learning and education, but it can sometimes be

difficult to identify and promote it in your children or students. This article will explore what

creativity means for learners and teachers, from defining the term itself to identifying how it

impacts learning outcomes.

(2) What is creativity?

Creativity is a process and a mindset, not a talent. We all have the ability to be creative, but it

takes work and practice to develop our creativity. Creativity involves taking risks and making

mistakes; it’s often a combination of many different skills (for example: art, writing, or math).

There is no one definition of creativity because there are many ways that we can express

ourselves creatively. Creativity can be applied in any field including education – both in learning

environments as well as teaching methods themselves; business – developing new

products/services; science – conducting research projects, etc.

(3) Why is creativity important?

Creativity is important for learning because it helps you to think about things in a new way. It

encourages you to look at problems from different perspectives, which can help you find

solutions that are more creative and innovative. Creativity is also important for problem solving

as it allows people to come up with new ideas and solutions when faced with difficulties or

challenges. For example, if someone is stuck trying to solve a puzzle or work out an equation in

math class, then their teacher might ask them: “How could we do this differently?” This

21
ตะลุยโจทย์ ทะลวง A-LEVEL82

encourages them not only to think about different ways of doing things but also to come up with

new ideas altogether.

(4) Creative open-mindedness

Creative open-mindedness is essential to learning. It is not the same thing as intelligence or

education, but it’s a crucial component of both. Creative open-mindedness means having an

ability to be flexible with your thinking—the willingness to consider new ideas and approaches

even when they may seem strange or unusual at first glance. It also involves being willing to

learn from others who have different perspectives than yours, which is why creative open-

mindedness can be so important in our globalized world today: if we want students who are

prepared for life after school (and beyond), then having this skill set will help them succeed in

whatever field they choose.

(5) The role of curiosity in creativity

Curiosity is the desire to learn more about something. It’s a natural part of the learning process,

and it can lead to new ideas and solutions. Curiosity can be a source of motivation for students

as well as teachers: when people are curious about something, they want to find out more

about it. This desire may encourage them to work harder on their projects or studies so that

they can answer their questions satisfactorily.

(6) The difficulty of identifying and promoting creativity

Creativity is an essential part of learning, but it’s not always easy to identify and promote.

Creativity is a complex phenomenon that involves many different skills and abilities. It’s also

22
ตะลุยโจทย์ ทะลวง A-LEVEL82

influenced by factors such as age and personality type. There are some things we can do to help

foster creativity in our classrooms and schools:

− Encourage children to take risks during their learning process: this will help them experiment

with new ideas without fear of failure or embarrassment.

− Build on existing knowledge rather than starting from scratch.

− Provide an opportunity for students to share their work with others.

56. To become creative, people should __________.

1. create new problems in their work
