Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 37.
What Do You Think?
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have gone to a restaurant
that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad service. Or maybe you
have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement.
These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can do this by using
apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme on a smartphone. You can use apps
to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review apps help us
evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel,
you can post a review with one of your apps. You can say anything you want. Other people can use their apps
to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to go out and decide for
themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting more and more popular every day.
Some apps are for specific services. For example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books.
There are also other, larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think of.
