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 45 to 54.
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the
Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during campaigns presidential knows,
these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television
news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain
location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory
workers, depending on which area the news people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract


outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel
intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely

reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions.
An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must also be
specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less
structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be
indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded
accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of
survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it
more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire.
In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings
and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.

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 55 to 64.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the
fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer
quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each
beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter
sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who
wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity
to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their
programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the physical
facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of
students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is
simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed. Students also find it
difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some
colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and
students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides
options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to
graduate early.

BÀI VIẾT:
After leaving school, I would like to become an English teacher in the future because of two main reasons.
Firstly, I love teaching. Teaching is one way of spreading knowledge to learners, which gives me a happy


feeling. I can see my students strive, get success, and later make their contributions in different areas. In this
way, it can also improve my presenting skill considerably and provide more relationships with not only
native students but also international volunteers. Secondly, there are many opportunities for English
teaching positions nowadays. Along with the development of our country, English is so highly appreciated
that almost all jobs require certain amount of English ability. Teaching English is always welcomed
everywhere, everywhen with attractive salary. In summary, my passion and good job prospects make
English teacher my desired job.
