Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60

and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises

concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on

economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen

the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-

child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its

effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government

loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third child birth rate

increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent

Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary

evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while

creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for

younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's

labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction

where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising

the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population

problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.

Question 39: The best title for this passage could be ________.

A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam

C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam

Question 40: Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?

A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns about

healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.

B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.

C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing

population within the next 20 years.

D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with global

economy.

Question 41: The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?

A. two-Child policy B. aging population C. retirement age D. economic integration

Question 42: In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ________.

A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.

B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.

C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work

D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as long-term and effective

solutions.

Question 43: The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.

A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

Volunteering offers many of the same social benefits, with the added bonus of helping others and

developing useful skills to put on your CV. Plus, students are in a unique position to help, suggests Tom

Fox. "They can take their enthusiasm and excitement for opportunities and share their passions, subject

knowledge and experience with people." The idea of giving up time for nothing might seem impractical at

first, especially once the pressures of study and coursework or exams begin to mount up. However,

Michelle Wright, CEO of charity support organization Cause4, suggests seeing volunteering as a two-way

street. "I think it is fine for undergraduates to approach volunteering as a symbiotic relationship where

doing good is just one part of the motivation for reaching personal and professional goals."

Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and

Development (CIPD), says: "Volunteering can be a valuable way of gaining that experience, as well as

building confidence, broadening your horizons, becoming a better team player and developing those all-

important 'employability skills' such as communication and decision making." Amanda Haig, graduate

HR manager, agrees that volunteering can help your employment prospects. "Volunteering can

demonstrate positive personality traits and skill sets, such as proactivity, and teamwork," she says.

A positive side-effect of volunteering is improving your time at university by getting involved in

the local community. Leaving the student bubble can make your time as an undergraduate much more

varied. At Bath Spa University, more than 1,000 students volunteered over the past year, doing everything

from working on local environmental projects to helping in schools or assisting the elderly. ”Quite often

there can be a divide between students and permanent residents," says students' union president Amy

Dawson, "but if students invest a little time now, they will be giving something back to the local

community and will reap the benefits in the future."

“You might also find that volunteering helps your studies if you choose the right program. At

Lancaster, volunteering is linked into academic modules in some cases", explains Fox. "This has multiple

wins. Students get to apply their learning in the classroom and share their interests with children in local

schools or community organizations, while schools gain skilled students with a passion for a subject that

enthuses their pupils."

Question 44: What is the most suitable title for this reading?

A. Volunteering at university B. Volunteering helps employment prospects

C. Students should take part in extracurricular activities to put it on CV D. The virtues of volunteering

Question 45: Which of the following information is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1?

A. Many social benefits are provided by volunteering.

B. Students are likely to be enthusiastic for chances and share their interests with people.

C. Volunteering might increase the pressures of study and coursework or exam.

D. Michelle Wright recommends seeing volunteering as a two-way street.

Question 46: The word “gaining” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by____________.

A. getting B. making C. lacking D. taking

Question 47: Personality traits and skill sets include____________.

A. communication and decision – making B. proactivity and collaboration

C. proactivity and confidence D. passions, subject knowledge and experience.

Question 48: What does the word “side-effect” mean?

A. additional result that you did not expect or want B. an extra good result

C. another side of a street D. a two-way street

Question 49: What does the word "they" refer to in paragraph 3?

A. projects B. residents C. students D. benefits

Question 50: Which of the following most accurately reflects Fox’s explanation in the last paragraph?

A. Students at universities must join at least one activity in volunteer campaign at local schools.

B. Students at universities should join as many activities in volunteer campaign at local schools as

possible.

C. Students at universities who join volunteer work will gain a lot of purposes for the community only.

D. Students at universities who join volunteer work will gain a lot of purposes for not only themselves

but also the community.

Nowadays, speed reading has become an essential skill in today environment where people have to master a

large volume of information. There are various methods to increase reading speed.

The first trick is deciding what information you want first, for example, if you only want a rough outline of

an issue, then you can skim the material quickly and extract the key facts. However, if you need to

understand every detail in a document, then you must read it slowly enough to understand this.

Chunking is another important method. Often, you will probably find that you are fixing eyes on a block of

words, then moving your eyes to the next block of words, and so on, sometimes moving back to the

previous block if unsure of something. A skilled reader will read a lot of words in each block for an instant

and will then move on without skipping back. This increases the volume of information that can be taken in

over a given period of time.

The best tip anyone can have to improve their reading speed is to practice. In order to do this effectively, a

person must be engaged in the material and want to know more. If you find yourself constantly having to

switch to re-read the same paragraph, you may want to switch to reading material that grabs your attention.

If you enjoy what you are reading, you will make quicker progress.

(Adapted from Complete IELTS band 4-5 by Guy Brook-Hart and Vanessa Jakeman)

A. occasionally B. boringly C. continuously D. rarely

Every summer, when the results of the university entrance exam come out, many newspaper stories are

published about students who are top-scorers across the country. Most portray students as hard-working,

studious, smart and, generally, from low-income families. They are often considered heroes or heroines by

their families, communes, villages and communities. And they symbolize the efforts made to lift them, and

their relatives, out of poverty. The students are often too poor to attend any extra-classes, which makes their

achievements more illustrious and more newsworthy. While everyone should applaud the students for their

admirable efforts, putting too much emphasis on success generates some difficult questions.

If other students look up to them as models, of course, it's great. However, in a way, it contributes to

society's attitude that getting into university is the only way to succeed. For those who fail, their lives are

over. It should be noted that about 1.3 million high school students take part in the annual university

entrance exams and only about 300,000 of them pass. What's about the hundreds of thousands who fail?

Should we demand more stories about those who fail the exam but succeed in life or about those who quit

university education at some level and do something else unconventional?

"I personally think that it's not about you scoring top in an entrance exam or getting even into Harvard. It's

about what you do for the rest of your life," said Tran Nguyen Le Van, 29. He is the founder of a website,

vexere.com, that passengers can use to book bus tickets online and receive tickets via SMS. His business

also arranges online tickets via mobile phones and email. Van dropped out of his MBA at the Thunderbird

School of Global Management in Arizona in the United States. His story has caught the attention of many

newspapers and he believes more coverage should be given to the youngsters who can be role models in the

start-up community. Getting into university, even with honours, is just the beginning. "We applaud them

and their efforts and obviously that can give them the motivation to do better in life. However, success

requires more than just scores," Van said. Van once told a newspaper that his inspiration also came from

among the world's most famous drop-outs, such as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or Bill Gates who also

dropped out of Harvard University.

Alarming statistics about unemployment continue to plague us. As many as 162,000 people with some kind

of degree cannot find work, according to Labour Ministry's statistics this month. An emphasis on getting

into university does not inspire students who want to try alternative options. At the same time, the Ministry

of Education and Training is still pondering on how to reform our exam system, which emphasises theories,

but offers little to develop critical thinking or practice. Vu Thi Phuong Anh, former head of the Centre for

Education Testing and Quality Assessment at Viet Nam National University in HCM City said the media

should also monitor student successes after graduation. She agreed there were many success stories about

young people, but added that it was imbalanced if students taking unconventional paths were not also

encouraged. Viet Nam is, more than ever, in desperate need of those who think outside the box. Time for us

to recognise talent, no matter where it comes from or how.

than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit held true even after these friends had moved away to another city and was independent of factors such as

socioeconomic status, health, and way of life. According to scientists, the ability to have relationships with people to (37) ______ one is important has a positive effect on physical and

mental health. Stress and tendency towards depression are reduced, and behaviours that are damaging to health, such as smoking and drinking, occur less frequently. (38)_______, our

support networks, in times of calamity in particular, can raise our moods and feelings of self-worth and offer helpful strategies for dealing with difficult personal challenges.

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.

3

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.

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 44 to 50.

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 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.

Rain pounded down on the roof. I was trying to read but the sound was too loud. I couldn’t help myself from being a little grumpy. I wanted to be outside playing, but the rain was

keeping me inside.

My mom had gone to the grocery store, and my dad was spending Saturday at the office. I had planned to spend the day hiking, but Mother Nature decided that today was the perfect day

for rain.

It meant that I would have to entertain myself. I spent most of the morning playing with my stuffed animals and reading. I was sitting next to the window staring out when I got a strange

idea: why not just go outside anyway?

I put on my boots and a big raincoat and stepped out into the wet world. It was raining hard but it wasn’t cold. All I could hear were raindrops and the wind. I decided to go on my hike

anyway.

My feet didn’t make any sound on the wet ground and the forest seemed different. I went to my favourite place and sat down. In the summer, my best friend Ellen and I would come here

and sit for hours. It was our special place. All of a sudden, I thought I heard someone shouting my name. I turned and saw Ellen walking up behind me.

“Oh my Gosh! It’s really you, Martha!” she said. “I can’t believe that you are out here right now. I thought I would be the only person crazy enough to go for a walk in the rain.”

I was very happy to have some company. We decided that hiking in the rain was just as fun as hiking in the sunshine. We planned on hiking in the rain again. (Adapted from Navigate)

A large number of inventions require years of arduous research and development before they are perfected. For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent

the incandescent light bulb before he finally succeeded. History is replete with numerous other examples of people trying, yet failing to make inventions before they eventually

succeeded. Yet some inventions have come about not through hard work but simply by accident.

In most cases, when someone unintentionally invented something, the inventor was attempting to create something else. For example, in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was attempting

to make a new substance that could be used to refrigerate items. He mixed some chemicals together. Then, he put them into a pressurized container and cooled the mixture. By the time

his experiment was complete, he had a new invention. It was not a new substance that could be used for refrigeration though. Instead, he had invented Teflon, which is today most

commonly used to make nonstick pots and pans. Similarly, decades earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia. He was attempting to create a tonic that people could

use whenever they had headaches. While he was not successful in that endeavor, he managed to invent Coca - Cola, the world - famous carbonated soft drink.

Scientists have also made crucial discoveries by accident when they were conducting experiments. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, an antibiotic, in this manner. He

discovered some mold growing in a dish with some bacteria. He noticed that the bacteria seemed to be avoiding the mold. When he investigated further, he determined some of the many

useful properties of penicillin, which has saved millions of lives over the past few decades. Likewise, in 1946, scientist Percy Spencer was conducting an experiment with microwaves.

He had a candy bar in his pocket, and he noticed that it suddenly melted. He investigated and learned the reason why that had happened. Soon afterward, he built a device that could

utilize microwaves to heat food: the microwave oven. (Adapted from />

It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them
going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-
called “energy drinks.” These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.

One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for
athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer’s body and mind. In order to do this,
the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their
beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The
vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person
energy.

Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that
all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person’s energy level. Another problem is that
there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy
drinks work together.

Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing

all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get

a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the

body. “We just don’t know at this point,” he says.

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 44 to 50.

The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth. The acid removes

minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages

remineralization and neutralizes the acid. The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends on

the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of the

plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar. To keep your teeth healthy, a regular dental

hygiene program should be followed.

Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria in

the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay. It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible, enabling

saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions. If fluoride is present in drinking water when teeth are

forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to attack by

acid. Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of early carious

lesions.

In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce

your intake of sweet food. The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not

between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much harmful

acid the bacteria in your saliva produce. But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva.

Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time. Also try to brush and floss your teeth

after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective.

Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that

scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when

eating sweets.
