light.
Some people believe that UFOs are real objects, not hallucinations. Some people
even claimed they themselves had seen a UFO and man-like creatures on it. The UFO was able
to turn round, stop in mid-air and go up very quickly. It flew at remarkably speed. In 1971, two
men claimed that aliens from a UFO had captured and taken them aboard. These aliens
examined them and then freed them afterwards.

(25-28) Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are True or False.
English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the
number of speakers 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. You should make use of every opportunity to speak English with
friends in class or at English speaking clubs or even with yourselves in front of the mirror.
Learning by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read a lot because you will
easily forget what you have learnt. Reading books, listening to radio and watching films are
better ways to memorize words. Besides, English learners should not be so shy because
making mistakes is unavoidable in learning foreign languages. Practicing speaking a lot is a
good way to correct your mistakes.
