English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the number of speakers after
Chinese. In Vietnam, more and more people are studying English and they consider 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
ourselves 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.

Although he has played on many great golf courses, one of Tiger's favorite places to play is Pebble Beach.
Tiger became a role model at an early age. People look up to him, so he is very grateful. Because many
people helped Tiger as a child, he wants to lend a hand to others now. Some people cannot play golf because of
their ethnicity, while others do not have enough money. Occasionally, Tiger himself was prevented from
playing golf. Because of this, he created the Tiger Woods Foundation to help make golf open to everyone. He
likes to see diversity on the golf course, and he wants all children to play golf if they want to. Tiger is happy
that many children now want to play golf because of him.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching

exist.

teachers to integrate television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was
at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University, As for me mastering a foreign language is not
easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target
language is spoken is very helpful, but if you carinot speak the language well enough you will certainly have
troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the language I am trying to
learn. Reading is another good way to learn, Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines
are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and
vocabulary should be mastered first.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have
made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of
poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and
plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed
by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been
made, the government do not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations.
The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world
was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now
scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
28: According to the writer, one environmental problem in the world today is ________
A. safe water shortage
B. pools of poison
C. industrial pollution
D. population explosion
29: What is the serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?
A. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
B. It is one of the largest lakes that contains a variety of animals and plants.
C. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.
D. It is the only lake in Russia whose source of water is not drinkable.
30: What does the word "them" in the passage refer to?
A. laws
B. the government
C. animals
D. plants

31: How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly
A. nearly 16
B. exactly 16
C. over 16
D. more than 16
32: What is the message to the readers?
A. We should take action to protect our water sources.
B. We should take all water sources into account.
C. We should limit the use of water sources.
D. We should encourage people to use safe water.

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to .They often seem to
dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal
development at this age , though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming
independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up . Young people are usually more
willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to
check up on them .
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plant but
should not push them to talk if they don't want to . Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young
people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for any
signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the
1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two
centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade),
colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in
various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language
of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is 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

any other language in the world.

Education in England Every child in England between the age of five and fifteen must attend schools.
There are three main types of educational institutions, primary (elementary) schools, secondary schools, and
universities.
Like most countries in the world, there are two types of schools in England, independent schools (feepaying schools) and state schools in which students do not have to pay tuition fees. In both types, attendance is
compulsory. Morning classes begin at nine o dock and last until half past four in the afternoon. After classes,
most English children often stay at school and take part in extracurricular activities like sports, singing and
dancing. Schools are open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no lessons. There are holidays
at Christmas, Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of schools for those who will
go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five and eleven, and secondary
schools for children from eleven to fifteen.
Besides such compulsory lessons as reading, writing, the English language, English literature, English
history, geography, science, and nature study, children in England can take many optional subjects like
drawing, painting, singing, or woodwork to develop their aptitudes.
