The concept of 'digital twins' has gained significant traction in engineering and urban planning. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical system, continuously updated with real-time data. This allows for simulation, monitoring, and predictive maintenance without disrupting the actual system. In smart cities, digital twins integrate data from sensors, traffic patterns, and energy grids to optimize infrastructure. However, critics argue that over-reliance on these models can lead to complacency, as they are simplifications of complex realities. Moreover, data privacy concerns arise when vast amounts of personal information are processed. Despite these challenges, proponents believe that digital twins offer an unprecedented opportunity to test scenarios and improve resilience, making them indispensable tools for future urban development.

IELTS Reading Tips
Skim the questions first, underline keywords, then locate in the passage
Watch for paraphrasing; correct answers are often reworded
Be wary of absolute statements (all, always, never) — usually wrong
Pay attention to content after transition words (however, but, yet)
