Part 3. Questions 13-18. Read the text and questions below. Choose the best answer to each of the
questions. On the answer sheet, circle A, B, C or D.
Kot is not like any other foreign investors in Vietnam that I have met.
His full name is Rafi Kot, the 55-year-old general director of Family Medical Practice Vietnam, a
chain of healthcare clinics with eight facilities in the whole country. Kot arrived in Vietnam in 1988,
maybe earlier than most other foreign investors, and has been staying since then and may stay forever.
For a man who speaks of himself as a perfectionist, Kot says he cannot just leave Vietnam yet because
his duty in this country is not completed yet.
Actually, as a doctor who joined a charity program started by a German non- governmental
organization, his destination should have been Africa rather than Vietnam, but then fate brought him
to this Southeast Asian country when another doctor in the program could not make his way to
Vietnam, and Kot was chosen in replacement.

His first stop in Vietnam was in the northern province of Ninh Binh, where he and his team were
in charge of developing healthcare services for an expected period of six months. Recalling the days
Edited by: Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 6


when he first arrived in Ninh Binh, Kot says he was in shock when seeing the poor lives of local people,
whom he describes as rustic people, or “nha que” in his perfect Vietnamese, along with the out-of-date
healthcare facilities and equipment there. At that moment, Kot knew he wanted to be a part of
developing a healthcare system for Vietnam.
“I love challenges and want to work for changes. I love this country and want to make a
contribution to its development,” Kot says. “If everything was too easy, I would get bored and there
would be no reason for me to stay.”
In 1994, Kot opened his first healthcare center in Vietnam. In 2002, he got married to a
Vietnamese woman and now has two sons and a daughter. “I love my family very much, and I love
Vietnam as well,” Kot says. And that love has made him stay in this country, despite many difficulties.
13. Where did Kot originally plan to go when he joined the German charity program?
A. Africa
B. Asia
C. Australia
D. Europe
14. What does “his” in the last line of the second paragraph refer to?
A. another doctor
B. fate
C. Kot
D. Vietnam
15. What kept Kot back in Vietnam after the first six months in Ninh Binh?
A. his friends in Ninh Binh
B. his family
C. his ambition for change
D. the German organisation

16. The word “out-of-date” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. different
B. expensive
C. old
D. useless
17. What is the best word to describe Kot’s life in Vietnam now?
A. Boring
B. difficult
C. exciting
D. happy
18. Where is this passage most likely to be found?
A. A business journal
B. A personal website C. A doctor’s diary D. A newspaper
Part 4. Questions 19-25. Read the text below about a city in central Vietnam called Hue. Read the
questions and decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, circle T (True) on the
answer sheet. If it is incorrect, circle F (False) on the answer sheet
Hue is a city in central Vietnam. This city used to be the national capital during the Nguyễn
Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. Since then, it has remained a peaceful city with many tourist attractions.
With the Perfume River winding its way through the heart of the city, Hue is divided into two halves. To
the north of the river, most of the construction still retains traces from the past, while the south side
has seen much faster growth with high buildings and shopping areas.
Hue is home to a big cultural event every two years, the Hue Festival. This is a great chance for
not only Hue locals but also international artists and performers to come and share their cultures. This
event brings together the best cultural traditions of different countries around the world to this
picturesque city in the heart of Vietnam. Despite all the fast- changing trends of the modern society,
this event helps to preserve traditional cultural values
Hue also boasts some of the best historical values in Vietnam, making it one of the most
desirable. Destinations for both domestic and international visitors. Here tourists can enjoy the royal
atmosphere by visiting several royal tombs and especially the Imperial City which was home to the

Nguyễn Dynasty. Local specialties are also plentiful, ranging from the famous clam rice to a variety of
traditional cakes made from rice flour. Here you can also go and experience the local traditions by
visiting and shopping at some handicraft villages a dozen kilometers from the city center. Despite the
introduction of mass production industries, it is amazing that several traditional and hand-made local
products remain popular among Hue local people as well as tourists.
In the modern times, Hue has also become a busy urban area. Among the traditional markets
are big shopping centers, and beside traditional restaurants are exotic fast food stores like the KFC or
Lotteria. Although more cars run on local roads, you can still find several men leisurely riding tricycles
(or ‘xich-lo’) along the streets taking tourists on sight-seeing tours of the city. It is pleasing to see the
co-existence of the old and new in one single city like Hue.

19. Hue was the capital of Vietnam for more than one and a half centuries.
20. The south of the city is less modern than the north.
21. Hue Festival is a yearly event.
22. The Nguyễn Dynasty used to live in the Imperial City.

Talk 1
San Francisco, a major city in California, has a mild climate, with cool, wet winters and dry summers.
Essentially San Francisco is never warmer than 73 degrees but never colder than
50. The nights are chilly so people in San Francisco always carry a light jacket. The temperature can
drop or rise within an hour.
Summer days usually start out under fog. Light drizzle is possible. Humidity is very constant, but
rarely uncomfortable.
Winter is the rainy season. But there are calm, sunny days. However, the overall temperatures are
going to be lower in the winter.
Autumn, or fall, is a good time to visit because the summer wind and fog have mostly gone, but the
rainy season has not yet started. The late summer month of September is the warmest and driest
month of the entire year for San Francisco.

Talk 2
English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the most important language of
international communication. English as we know it today appeared around 1350. Until the 1600s,
English was spoken only in England and had not been used in Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However,
during the time of the next two centuries, English began to spread worldwide as a result of exploration,
trade, and colonization. Thus, small communities of English speakers grew in various parts of the
world. As these communities expanded, English gradually became the primary language of
international business, banking, and diplomacy. Currently, about 80 percent of the information saved
on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two-thirds of the world’s science writing is in English,
and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air
traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of
these are nonnative speakers, making up the largest numbers of nonnative users than any other
language in the world.

Your attention, please. We now have an announcement to make. In response to many requests from the
members, the Fitness Center will be starting up yoga classes this January. We have hired 1 new
instructor with 5 years of experience and an assistant to teach the class. The classes will be held on
Thursday and Sunday morning at 8:15 a.m. in the main hall, but if there is enough demand, we will be
opening another class starting at 6:45 a.m. As always, there is no charge for employees, and members
of the general public who wish to join can do so for $25 for the eight-week session.
In order to ensure the health and welfare of our staff, we require that those wishing to participate in
the yoga course have their family physician fill out a health history form. You can pick up the forms
before the start of September at the front desk in the Fitness Center. Please ask for your doctor’s
signature and return the completed form when registering for the class.
No special equipment or footwear is needed, but we recommend loose-fitting clothing. In addition, for
those who want to get extra practice at home, special mats will be available for purchase starting in

September.

Student: Can I bring these to the dorm? It is late evening now and I don’t think others students are
coming.
Librarian: No, I’m sorry. You can’t leave the library with reserve materials. You have to use them here.
It’s the policy. And the professor left only one copy for each article.
Student: Okay, I’ll try then. By the way, I need to find some books too. I am a newcomer, can you show
me how I can borrow books here?
Librarian: Have you got the library card yet?
