D. Reading

I. Read the passage about further and higher education, and then answer the questions.

The difference between higher and further education can be a common cause of confusion. Further education is used to describe the education that occurs following compulsory post-16 secondary education, which is usually distinct from that offered in universities (higher education). It includes a few different levels such as A-Levels and Higher National Diplomas. Foundation Degrees are also a type of further education and take 2 years to complete compared with the 3-4 years of most bachelor’s degrees which are offered by both universities and colleges. Sometimes it is possible to extend a Foundation Degree to a bachelor’s degree, with one year or more of extra study.

Further education is usually taught in the sixth-form college part of a school or in independent further education colleges, as well as in other work-based, adult and community learning institutions. In the United States, further education is sometimes referred to as continuing education.

Higher education primarily describes post-18 learning that takes place at universities, as well as other colleges and institutions that award academic degrees, and professional qualifications. While higher education is the common name in the UK and Ireland, it is also known as post-secondary, tertiary and third level education.

II. Read the passage about studying abroad for Vietnamese students, and then answer the questions.

Viet Nam has a growing youth population, and this together with an increasing prosperous middle class means that demand for university education is greater than ever before. A decade ago, fewer than 10,000 Vietnamese families could afford to send their child abroad to study. Today there are more than 100,000 Vietnamese international students around the world, most of whom are funded by their parents.

The top destinations for Vietnamese students are Australia, the US, China, Singapore and the UK. English has become the dominant foreign language in Viet Nam, with 98% of students choosing to study it over French, Japanese and German. So many students seek English-speaking countries for their higher education.

Australia is the destination of choice because Australian qualifications are recognised across the world, and transferable to Vietnamese qualifications, and many Australian universities offer scholarships to international students. Living costs in Australia compare favourably with the United States and UK, and it is closer to Viet Nam than other English- speaking countries, making visits home easier.

The USA has the second largest number of Vietnamese students. The majority of Vietnamese students, both at home and abroad, consider the American education the best in the world. They believe that the USA is the most scientifically and technologically advanced country in the world. Four out of 10 Vietnamese students in the US are studying business administration, and finance. Engineering, maths, computer science, and health professions are also common choices.

III. Read the passage about international students in Viet Nam, and then answer the questions.

Viet Nam: Struggling to Attract International Students

Viet Nam is changing university enrolment requirements to make it easier for foreign students to study at its universities. Previously, foreign students were required to take university entrance examinations in Vietnamese, making it difficult if not almost impossible for non- Vietnamese-speaking foreign students to apply.

International student enrolment is one of the criteria to rank Vietnamese universities. Attracting foreign students is also a way for Viet Nam to promote Viet Nam's education to the world.

The leading universities in Viet Nam enroll undergraduate and graduate international students every year. Most are from the Asia Pacific region including China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, while a few come from the United States and Europe. Most of the international students study Vietnamese studies, Vietnamese literature or Southeast Asian studies, which makes Viet Nam the best destination for them.

The leading institutions such as Viet Nam National Universities in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City, which have a tradition of hosting international students, run preparatory courses in Vietnamese for foreign students. However, it’s widely recognized that if these universities do not have programmes taught in English, they have a challenge to enroll international students.

IV. Read the text about the IB and A-level programmes, and then decide whether the statements are true (T), false (F) or not given (NG).

Students in Singapore have the option of sitting for the Singapore-Cambridge A-level exam, which is a different version of the international A-level examination. Has the International Baccalaureate (IB) better than the A-levels in terms of preparing a student to enter a recognized and prestigious university?

It really depends on the student’s academic strengths. The IB is more about a comprehensive educational style, while the A-levels puts more emphasis on individual subject knowledge. An IB student must take six subjects, three at higher level and three at standard, which must include maths, a science, English, and at least one foreign language, while A-levels with three subjects studied in depth. So, if words aren’t the student’s strength, then the language component of the IB (including the compulsory 4000-word essay) may pull the student’s overall IB score down.

On the other hand, if the student is well-rounded and copes confidently with Arts subjects as well as Maths and Science, then the IB programme may be ideal for the learner. Experts believe the A-levels give a student depth of knowledge, while the IB gives a broad education. They also believe that the IB may prepare a child better for facing the challenges of a university education.

If parents wonder if the IB would suit their child, they should talk to the teachers and their child before coming to an educated and well-informed decision.

1. The Singapore-Cambridge A-level exam is conducted based on the international A-level examination. __________

2. The IB is more suitable for all-around students, while the A-levels focus more on a particular field. __________

3. The IB programme includes six subjects at international levels. __________

4. A student who is not very good at language write another document instead of the 4000- word essay. __________

5. A-levels help students study three science subjects in depth. __________

6. The IB programme may be ideal for the learner who is good at both Arts subjects and Science subjects. __________

7. The IB is not suitable for students who may meet some challenges at the university environment. __________

8. Parents and teachers can decide whether the student should follow the IB or not. __________

V. Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage.

British further education qualifications are respected by employers and academics worldwide. There are two main types: academic courses, and vocational and professional courses. Academic courses help you prepare for higher education at a university or college. They aim to develop your analytical skills, critical thinking and knowledge. Vocational and professional courses give you the skills and qualifications you need to enter and succeed in your chosen career. They offer technical training and skills for the workplace.

British further education providers invest heavily in facilities — from libraries, computer centres and science laboratories to sports centres, theatres and arts studios. Class sizes are restricted to ensure that you have

A. What do you think is the second benefit?

B. Vocational schools attract students from many regions and countries.

C. There are several benefits for those who want to become qualified manual labourers in the future.

D. Why do workers with vocational training get a job easily?

E. Why do you think so?

F. Some of the young people cannot afford to pursue their university.

Phong: ¹ ___________________________________________________________________________?

Nick: First, nowadays employers place more emphasis on experience than knowledge at university. In order to get well-paid jobs, students should study practical courses and work as part-time workers besides studying subjects at school.

Phong: ² ___________________________________________________________________________?

Nick: Second, many people after graduating from college cannot make a living, or even do not have a job. By encouraging people to take vocational courses, there would be less unemployed workers, and fewer crime cases.

Phong: ³ ___________________________________________________________________________?

Nick: In many countries, especially developed ones, there is a lack of workers like electricians with their understanding and hands-on experience in their field. For example, many large corporations would offer higher salaries for the qualified workers than ones graduated from academic study.

Phong: I agree with you. It would make students think twice before applying for higher education.

Nick: ⁴ ___________________________________________________________________________. Working for a local company as a plumber, for example, would be a good option and help them save a great deal of money.

Phong: You’re right. ⁵ _________________________________________________________________. Everyone should choose the suitable path of their own.
