both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young
children. However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there are
fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the
evening. Furthermore, there are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a result, you may
have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole, it is
often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or single people
who have a career are better provided for in the city.

The outbreak of the Covid-19 has negatively affected fashion industries in developing countries. Like other
Asian countries, Viet Nam is under a lot of pressure to thrive the fashion industry by carrying out reforms after
the pandemic. Many people realize that fast fashion trends are not environmentally friendly, and they have
turned to garments that cause no harm to the environment.
The concept of sustainable fashion in Viet Nam is almost too new as there are a few organizations working on
recycling and restoration of old clothes. The country’s economic development has led to the trend that
customers are inclined to choose cheap and mass-produced clothing items but quickly reject them. As a result,
every year tons of clothes are thrown away in Viet Nam.
It is hoped that the situation will change soon. Some fashion designers begin to make clothes from durable
materials such as natural cotton, bamboo and recycled polyester. These materials do not wear out easily and are
strong enough for consumers to use over a long period of time. Moreover, local consumers, especially the
youth, are willing to pay more for sustainable goods. Nearly 70% of surveyed consumers said that they chose to
use eco-friendly clothing products which could save water and electricity.
17. The Covid-19 pandemic has had no influence on Viet Nam’s fashion industry.
18. The concept of sustainable fashion in Viet Nam is nothing new.
19. Fast fashion means that clothing items are mass-produced and thrown away quickly.
20. Young consumers don’t mind spending more money on clothes that are environmentally friendly.
B. Choose the best answer (0.5 point)

A. has developed faster than ever before
B. needs governmental policies to promote the use of eco-friendly garments
C. begin to save water and electricity as soon as possible
D. is highly likely to turn to green products in the future.

Question IV: Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are TRUE or FALSE
The invention of the microcomputer has made computers become more affordable as ever, for just a few
hundred dollars for each of this model. Taking advantage of this situation, some secondary schools, and even
kindergartens, have already begun to use computers. Many other schools, however, are hesitating to introduce
computer science onto the school curriculum. They wonder if students, especially younger ones, will be able to
use these complicated machines. They also fear that they may only be suitable for youngsters who are good at
math. "What about slower students?" they ask. Will computers make learning even more difficult for them?
Then again, will learning with a computer be boring?
Schools that are actually using computers discovered answers to these questions. Surprisingly, students
who are only 6 to 7 years of age are taking to the machines like fish to water. They are not only finding them
easy to use, but they are also finding them fascinating.

Question 7: Read the passage carefully (1.5pts)

Almost every language in the world has dialects, and American English is no exception. At the present
time there is an interesting study on American speech habits. This study has shown that different words are
frequently used in different parts of the country to denote the same thing. For example, in the east, Americans use
the word “soda” to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the west, a soft drink is “tonic”. Such differences are
usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happens. Speech and life all over the world
have often changed. New words are being used when new discoveries are made and new concepts are formed.
Usage determines what is correct or incorrect. Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say, “It’s me.” But today it is
acceptable simply because most Americans say that instead of “It’s I.” People change, so language changes.
What is wrong today may be right tomorrow.

Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they live in. Manners
are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation.
Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect seniority. When
they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow
and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do housework,
and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would
not let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were taught that families
were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity.
Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique
Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.

dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing
had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to
wipe them off. The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth
for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to
know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the
men took off the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the
moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall
mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last
forever

Since the mid-twentieth century, new technologies have been developed, which helped to
diversify mass media and make them an inseparable part of our lives. The role of the mass media is not
only to entertain and amuse the masses. Its most important role is to provide information and news about
events in different parts of the world as they occur. Educating people about their rights and
responsibilities is another function of mass media.
Until recently, mass media forms were classified into six categories according to the sequence of
their advent: print, recordings, cinema, radio, television and the Internet. Each form has its own
characteristic content types, creative artists and business models. In the early 21 st century, with the
explosion of mobile communication technology, the mobile phone has emerged as a new and unique
media channel. Video and computer games have also developed into a mass media form
Each form of mass media has had an important impact on society, for example, books have
helped people to educate themselves while newspapers have recorded daily events. Magazines were the
first visual medium before the advent of television, which together with radio, brought entertainment and
news programs into people's homes. However, all these media had to change and adapt to the advent of
the Internet and Digital Media Age. New digital media forms are more personal and social as they allow
people to connect with each other, collaborate and share information and personalize their experiences.

What can students expect? Students will learn a second language in exciting new ways using technology and
focusing on communication or speaking. Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary. It is
learning new sounds, expressions, and ways of seeing things; it is learning how to function in another culture,

How much can students learn? Depending on how long students study, they can gain different levels of
fluency. Don't worry; they're not expected to sound like native speakers. To a greater or lesser degree students
will, however, be understood, get where they want to go, read magazines or books for information or pleasure,
and meet and talk with a whole new group of people. It's a great experience! Of course, it doesn't happen
overnight. Like math, English, or other subjects, language learning takes time.
