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.
If you want to turn your hobbies into jobs, consider the following experts' suggestions. If you are a
helpful person, you can teach others to do what you love. "Teach piano lessons, offer cooking classes, or
teach another language if those are your passions. You can do this by teaching through a college or
continuing education program, by creating your own classes, or by creating your own webinars or teleseminar series online", Collamer says.
If you are not interested in teaching, appraise, repair or fix items related to what you love. Most
hobbies have "stuff" connected to them, and sometimes, that stuff needs to be fixed by a skilled and
knowledgeable person. "You could fix computers, appraise collectibles, repair bicycles, source missing parts
for highly unusual items, and so on," Collamer says.

"The next time you find yourself confused as to how to generate income from your hobbies, search
out the most successful entrepreneurs in your area of interest and study their business models and revenue

streams," Collamer suggests. "Ask yourself: Is their income coming from consulting services, videos,
accessories, events, classes or product sales? What is their mix of products and services? What is their
pricing strategy?" In doing this, you will discover proven models for monetizing your hobbies, as well as
helpful information about how to price your own services and products.
Mufson, who has interests outside of career coaching, says she managed to turn a hobby into a
lucrative part-time gig. "I personally turned my hobby of creating gemstone jewellery into a side-line
business," she explains. "Jewellery making is an expensive hobby and early on I decided to make it pay for
itself. Since then I have developed two online stores and a relationship with a jewellery gallery that sells
most of my work."

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.
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party
on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population
of around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and
party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.
A weeklong drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American
university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of
volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness,
or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel
good about.

During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15
"alternative spring break" trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and
five international trips. One group of JMU students travelled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes
damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Another group travelled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for
children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand.
Trang 4/5


They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant
species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem.
Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most
university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able
to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often sleep on
the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and
transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break
hotspots.
Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United
States. Students cite a number of reasons for participating. Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and
meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs about people's obligation to serve humanity and make
the world a better place. Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that gives them
rich rewards along with a break from school work.
Question 43. How many university students travel to Panama City Beach, Florida every March for spring
