The idea of going overseas to study can be daunting, with visions of baffling languages
or nights spent in isolation while you are gradually forgotten by your friends and family.
(26) ______ ,the benefits of studying abroad - such as broadening your mind, improving
your career prospects and making friends from all over the world - can make digging out
your passport really rewarding.
“Studying abroad is an eye-opening experience,” says Anna Boyd, event manager at The
Student World. “Being (27) ______ in another culture, understanding differences and
spotting similarities, living on a beach or in the mountains, (28) ______ will have an impact

on every student.”
Overseas study comes in many shapes and sizes. It might be a single semester abroad
via an Erasmus programme, for example. Or you might elect to follow a full three-or fouryear degree programme. Whatever your ambition, the key is starting early. Some countries
require specific combinations of A-levels from UK students, Germany looks for four Alevels including maths or science and one modern foreign language, for instance, while
others, such as the US, value extracurricular activities. Starting our research well ahead (29)
______time can help you make the right choices. "Getting involved in sports, arts and music
is also worth considering, as well as gaining experience through volunteering and work
placements," says Boyd. In fact, applying to study abroad could even work to your

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 from 30 to 34.
Having a hobby that you enjoy—whether that’s crocheting a sweater for your beastie’s new
baby, hitting the slopes to enjoy some fresh powder, or practicing pirouettes in ballet
class—has all sorts of well-documented benefits, from lower levels of stress to an increased
sense of belonging and purpose. Clearly, hobbies can make a serious impact on your quality
of life. But they can also improve your work performance. According to licensed
professional counselor Rebecca Weiler, when you’re engaged and fulfilled in your life
outside of work like you are when you’re pursuing meaningful hobbies, that happiness spills
over. It can make you more focused and enthusiastic when you’re on the job.
And depending on the hobby, the skills you gain as a result of your leisurely pursuits can
also make you better at your job and make you a more appealing candidate for potential
employers. “For example, someone who performs in an improvisational group as a hobby
could be attractive to an employer because they can think quickly on their feet and may also
be more comfortable presenting in front of a group of people,” Weiler says.
So, having a hobby that you love can do good things for your life and your job. But what
if you don’t actually have a hobby you enjoy? You’re not alone. According to Weiler, trying
to find meaningful hobbies is one of the primary reasons her clients—especially young
people—seek counseling. Clearly, there are plenty of people out there who don’t have, or
Trang 3


don’t know how to find, a hobby. But that doesn’t mean they can’t find one. It doesn’t
matter if you’re 25 or 85 years old—it’s not too late to hop on board the hobby train!

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.
From smartphones and tablets to apps and social media, society is ambushed from all
sides with technology. Naturally, all generations embrace it differently, with younger
“digital natives” generally being more connected, more switched-on and more tech literate
than older age groups.
According to Pew Research, 92% of Millennials (born 1981–1996) own smartphones,
compared with 85% of Gen Xers (born 1965–1980) and 67% of Baby Boomers (born 1946–
1964). In terms of tech behavior, older generations tend to use their phones mostly for
making calls, whereas for younger generations, a phone is their digital window to the world.

Phones are used for social media, going online, texting, emailing, playing games, listening
to music, and recording and watching videos.
The daily media consumption of different generations also vastly differs. Gen Z and
Millennials favor streaming and online services, with 46% of teens saying they use Netflix
compared to 31% of those aged over 16. Furthermore, 16-24s spend 30% of their downtime
watching TV or video, compared to 40% of time spent on these activities by the average UK
adult. Boomers spend a whopping 344 minutes a day watching regular TV, significantly
more than any other age group.
Size also matters more depending on your decade of birth. Younger generations prefer
smaller screens sizes, opting for a smartphone as their go-to tech, while Generation X and
technology newbies - the Boomers, are going bigger, owning more desktops and tablets.
Trang 4


Always in the front of the queue for the hottest tech, younger generations see technology as
an integral part of their existence, and since few Millennials and Gen Z can remember a
time without social media, they’re more fearless and carefree when it comes to technology.
So much so, that a LivePerson report revealed 65% of Millennials and Gen Z interact more
with each other online than they do in the real world.
Fundamentally, these behaviors and preferred technologies combine to create a
technological generation gap, where employees, shaped by their personal experiences,
demonstrate different levels of ability and willingness to adopt new tech. Constantly chasing
the next update or device, switched on Millennials and Gen Z are quick to lap up the latest
apps, games, and platforms, while Gen X and Boomers are generally slower to embrace
technology - both at home and in the workplace.

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.
In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the
best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten
months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up
with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth
may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers,
especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain
valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten-month-old
babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than
they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye
coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by
moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of
government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote
resources to music and art programs.
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from
an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be
out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at
keyboards.
Question 31: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A. Let kids be kids
B. Computers in schools
C. Never too early to start
D. More computers mean brighter future

Question 32: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _____.
A. will suffer from brain damage
B. tend to have more accidents than those who do not
C. do not necessarily make more progress than those do not
D. tend to like music and art more than those who do not
Question 33: The pronoun "they" in paragraph 2 refer to _______.
A. heads
B. objects
C. mouths
D. babies
Question 34: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.
B. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.
C. There is no evidence that children who use computers are cleverer than those who do not.
D. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight.
Question 35: The word "ludicrous" paragraph 3 mostly means _____ .
A. ironic
B. sensible
C. humorous
D. ridiculous
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 following questions.
The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus
outbreak a pandemic. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “We expect to
see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climbs even
higher.”
WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it
led governments and individuals to give up the fight. On Wednesday, they stressed that

fundamental public health interventions can still limit the spread of the virus and drive down
cases even where it was transmitting widely, as the work of authorities and communities in
China, Singapore, and South Korea has shown.
The virus, which probably originated in bats but passed to people via an as yet
unrecognized intermediary animal species, is believed to have started infecting people in
Wuhan, China, in late November or early December. Since then the virus has raced around the
globe. South Korea, which has reported nearly 8,000 cases, also appears poised to bring its
outbreak under control with aggressive measures and widespread testing. But other countries
have struggled to follow the leads of China and South Korea — a reality that has frustrated
WHO officials who have exhorted the world to do everything possible to end transmission of
the virus. Tedros used the fact that 90% of the cumulative cases have been reported in just four
countries as evidence that the rest of the world still had time to prevent an explosion of cases
with action.
WHO officials also stressed that countries should be implementing a strategic combination
two types of measures. One involves trying to detect and stop known chain of transmission by
isolating cases and following and potetially their contacts. The other involves community-level
steps like social distancing and comes into play when the virus is spreading more broadly and
transmission chains can’t be tracked. Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO’s emergency program,
said that the public health interventions might not have straightforward effect but to slow the
spread of the virus. People with severe cases can require long periods of critical care and strain
the resources of hospitals. He said he was worried about “the case load, the demand on the health


workers, the dangers that come with fatigue, and potentially shortages of personal protective
equipment.”

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.
Mass media is communication-whether written, broadcast, or spoken-that reaches a large audience.
This includes television, radio, advertising, movies, the Internet newspapers, magazines, and so
forth.
Mass media is a significant force in modern culture, particularly in America. Sociologists refer to
this as a mediated culture where media reflects and creates the culture. Communities and individuals
are bombarded constantly with messages from a multitude of sources including TV, billboards, and
magazines, to name a few. These messages promote not only products, but moods, attitudes, and a
sense of what is and is not important. Mass media makes possible the concept of celebrity: without
the ability movies, magazines, and news media to reach across thousands of miles people could not
become famous. In fact, only political and business leaders, as well as the few notorious outlaws,
were famous in the past. Only in recent times have actors, singers, and other social elites become
celebrities or stars.
The current level of media saturation has not always existed. As recently as the 1960s and 1970s and
1970s, television, for example, consisted of primarily three networks, public broadcasting, and a few
local independent stations. These channels aimed their programming primarily at two-parent,
middle-class families. Even so, some middle-class households did not even own a television. Today,
one can find a television in the poorest of homes, and multiple TVs in most middle-class homes. Not
only has availability increased, but programming is increasingly diverse with shows aimed to please
all ages. incomes, backgrounds, and attitudes. This widespread availability and exposure makes
television the primary focus of most mass-media discussions More recently, the Internet has
increased its role exponentially as more businesses and households sign on Although TV and the
Internet have dominated the mass media, movies and magazines-particularly those lining the aisles
at grocery checkout stands-also play a powerful role in culture, as do other forms of media

What role does mass media play? Legislatures, media executives, local school officials. and
sociologists have all debated this controversial question. While opinions vary as to the extent and
type of influence the mass media wields, all sides agree that mass media is a permanent part of
modern culture. Three main sociological perspectives on the role of media exist: the limited-effects
theory, the class-dominant theory, and the culturalist theory.

spectator areas.
Japan has a long tradition of gardens inspired by Chinese and Korean models. In former times,
palaces, temples, teahouses and private houses all had garden settings that were closely integrated
with the buildings. Kyoto was especially famous for its gardens. The gardens included pools and
waterfalls; rocks, stone and sand; and evergreens. They might also contain stone lanterns and

sculptures and wooden bridges, gates and pavilions. Every element of a garden was carefully
planned, sometimes by Zen monks and painters, to create an effect of restraint, harmony and peace,
which is exemplified by the existing Katsura Detached Palace gardens in Kyoto. Such traditions

continue to some extent in modern Japan and have influenced Western landscape architects.
