    The passage discusses effective and ineffective study skills. It notes that successful students have an overview before reading, pay attention to important information, relate ideas, and use prior knowledge. They also monitor understanding and correct mistakes. In contrast, low-achieving students assume a passive role, rely on others to monitor studying, do not check understanding, and show little effort to fix problems. They also struggle to plan, organize, and judge the quality of their studying. Unlike successful students who use various skills flexibly, low-achieving students use a limited range of ineffective strategies for all tasks.

    Exercise 1.

    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 questions.
    We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight
    he will find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science
    are very difficult and that if philosophers(n) nhà triết học and scientists read these subjects, it
    is not for pleasure.

    But this is not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as
    the school boy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental
    recreation and exercise. The pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of
    reading. But different types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of
    popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in imaginary
    situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world very much like our world
    and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new life, and the experience of this new life
    gives us a thrill of pleasure. Next in order of popularity are travel books, biographies and
    memoirs. These tell us tales of places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are
    interested.
    Some of these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they are
    true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing details
    of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard of. Reading is one of the
    greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating than a favorite book.
    And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and absorbed in his daily occupation wants
    to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of books for recreation and
    refreshment.

    sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
    Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an
    overview before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention
    to it (which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also
    relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge.
    When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies.
    Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
    comprehension.(Câu 13)

    Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective


    study skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers,
    parents) to monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor
    their understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they
    show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding
    problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they
    must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.

    Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying.
    Their studying may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with
    personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and
    assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who
    employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students
    use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are
    important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all
    learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.
