V. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.

More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.

One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.

Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly.

Question 25. Which of the following is a good title for the passage?

A. Why teenagers should work

B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs

C. Part-time jobs cause stress

Question 26. According to the passage, what is NOT an effect of part-time jobs?

A. Teenagers become organized.

B. Teenagers become stressed.

C. Teenagers are more likely to have successful careers.

Question 27. The word “cope with” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.

A. fight against

B. deal with

C. suffer from

Question 28.  According to the passage, when teenagers have jobs, they are more likely to _______.

A. spend foolishly      

B. want expensive things

C. appreciate money

Question 29. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Only some US students do part-time jobs.

B. US students suffer part-time job stress.

C. Part-time jobs are somehow good for teenagers.

VI. Read the following passage. Match the paragraphs with the headings.

TEENS’ SOURCES OF STRESS

Question 30. In adolescence, teens experience so many physical and psychological changes that they may not know how to deal with. Many boys feel obsessed with their voice or appearance. Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces. _____

Question 31.  As teens reach adolescence, they have more friends and come in contact with many more people. They now have to learn to interact socially and they may find it is not easy to adjust in the complicated world or to gain social acceptance. ______

Question 32. Many teenagers start to have emotional feelings for another boy or girl, or feel the need to be loved. If a teen fails to get love from the one he/she likes or loves, they may find it is hard to get over the painful experience. ______

Question 33. Pressures to do well academically can be a source of stress. If teens are academically strong, they can perform well. If not, they suffer from endless stress. ______

Question 34. Being under pressures of a number of things, teenagers become constantly anxious. If they are unlucky to fail in anything, they may fall into the feeling of self-doubt and low self-esteem. ______

List of Headings

A. Academic stress

B. Low self-esteem stress

Hoi An, once known as Faifo, with more than 2,000 years history, was the principal port of the Cham Kingdom. While the serious shipping business has long been moved to Da Nang, the heart of the city is still the Old Town, full of winding lanes and Chinese-styled shop-houses. Although almost all shops now cater to the tourist trade, the architecture has been largely preserved, which is unusual in Vietnam, and renovation has proceeded slowly and carefully. 

However, the culture & heritage that this UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) was trying to preserve has faded away. Since 1999, when UNESCO WHS status was awarded, there has been a massive increase in tourism - with the result that most houses have been sold by the community to speculators and shop owners to be used for commercial purposes. The former community, and with it their culture and heritage, has gone and in their place are endless indistinguishable shops, restaurants, art galleries, etc. There are literally hundreds of tailor shops in Hoi An.

ROOTED IN THE PAST

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.

V. Read a passage about the Somerset Levels and do the exercise that follow. (0.8 points)

Last year I visited the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area in Somerset, South West England. This area is home to one of Somerset's oldest traditional crafts - willow basket making. Basket making began in the area a long time ago. At the beginning of the 19th century, more than three thousand acres of willow trees were planted commercially there because the area provided an excellent natural habitat for their cultivation.

I'd seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I was still amazed at the variety of products made by the basket makers there. They make lobster pots, bread trays, and even passenger baskets for hot air balloons.

Although the arrival of plastics in the 1950s caused the basket making industry to decline, willow growing and basket making have continued to play a significant role in Somerset's rural economy. Willow growers and basket makers have dealt with this challenge by finding new markets and innovative ways of using willow. They make willow charcoal for artists, and bower seats for gardens. Some even weave willow coffins. Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparents passed down to them.

Answer the questions.

Question 26. When did the writer visit Somerset Levels?

⟹ ________________________

Question 27. Where are Somerset Levels situated?

⟹ _________________________

Question 28. What are some innovative products made in the area?

⟹ _________________________

Question 29. Is basket making passed down through generations?

⟹ _________________________

Decide if the sentences are T (true) or F (false).

Question 30. _____: Willow basket making is the oldest traditional craft in Somerset

Question 31. _____: Willows were not planted for commercial purposes because of the excellent cultivating conditions.

Question 32._____: The growth of basket making industry in the area was not influenced by the presence of plastic products in the 1950s.

Question 33._____: Willow growers and basket makers have found new ways to promote their industry.

Many hedges were pulled up to allow farmers to use modern machinery. Now most fields in England are large by European standards.

	Tape transcript Q1. Listen and fill in the missing words Millions of people around the world want to learn English. Many of them go to the USA and other English speaking countries to study at language schools, especially in summer. There are thousands of different schools. They offer courses for children, teenagers and adults. If you go to a language school, you should try to speak English as much as possible. Students can stay with a local family. This is a good opportunity to improve your English and to learn a lot about everyday life. You should try to talk to students from other countries. This will help you to improve your English and it will also show how important English is for international communication Q2. Listen and decide whether these statements are True or False. English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the number of speaker after Chinese. In Viet Nam, more and more people are studying English, considering it a key to success. However, not everyone knows how to learn English effectively. The best way to improve the four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing, is to practice regularly. Learning by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read a lot because you will easily forget what you learnt. Reading books, listening to radio and watching films are better ways to memorize words. Practicing speaking a lot is a good way to correct your mistakes.

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.

Street food shoulder pole is familiar with Saigon people throughout many years. Nowadays it has become a special thing that makes travelers curious. In small areas of District 1 and District 3, we could count more than 100 vendors who earned money using shoulder poles. A shoulder pole, also called a carrying pole, is a yoke of wood or bamboo, used by people to carry a load. The vendors put their goods in two baskets from each end of the yoke.

In the downtown, we can meet young women with their shoulder poles. The baskets are covered with plastic wrap carefully to protect the foods from the street dust. In a tight space of one basket, she could mix the ingredients and bake the cake on a small charcoal which was defended by carton. The ready cakes were put in other basket.

In the morning or evening, on rainy or sunny day,Saigon streets are marked by shoulder poles of people from different regions of the country, which has become a unique part of Saigon. It has been said that it isn’t hard to live in Saigon if you work hard. With the carrying pole on shoulders, the vendor has turned it into a “store’'. The reason is very simple, they don't have enough money to open a real store. Every day these women continue their journey through Saigon streets under the sun and the rain, selling cheap things or street foods to earn money and feed their children.

Doing homework

It is a good idea to start your homework early. If you can do it before your evening meal, you will have more time later to do things that you enjoy, like talking on the phone.
