The price of holidays can fluctuate a great deal throughout the year, so you can save a lot if you are
flexible with your travel dates and avoid peak holiday times. It can be also cheaper if you book well
in advance. Before your departure, make sure you get as much information about your destination
as you can. Find out if you require any special visas or permits to travel there. Think about spending
money as well. Will you be able to access your own money easily enough or will you need to take
cash with you? Think about eating larger lunches and smaller evening meals to help your money go
further, as lunch is generally cheaper. Make sure that you keep sufficient identification with you at
all times. It may also help to email a copy of your passport details to yourself, in case it is lost or
stolen. Label your suitcases clearly so that they can be easily identified as yours. It can be useful to
store a copy of your itinerary in a prominent place in your suitcase so that the airline will know
where to find you if your luggage gets lost. Be sure to pack any medication or other essential items
in your hand luggage. If your flight is delayed, or your luggage is lost, these can be difficult to
obtain in an airport or foreign country.

Question 23.Which can be the best title for the passage? 
A. Travel procedures B. Travel advice
C. How to adjust travel dates D. Protect your luggage

pounds.Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it's much more brilliant than it is seen
from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury.On its
lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300 degrees centigrade. But the dark side is extremely
cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the
planets.

Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) aired a
live programme featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May 2015.

Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named Ho Khanh in 1991,
and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, led by Howard Limbert. The cave was
formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain. It
contains some of the tallest known stalagmites in the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200
metres wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an entire street
inside them. Son Doong Cave is recognised as the largest cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave 
Research Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting
Corporation).

In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are now required to access

the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 permits were issued for the 2015 season, which
runs from February to August. After August, heavy rains cause river levels to rise and make the cave largely
inaccessible.

B. A live programme featuring its magnificence was broadcast on ‘Good Morning America’ by the American

B. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago.

C. It was formed by river water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain.
D. Some of the stalagmites in Son Doong Cave are about 70 metres tall.

Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s energy
resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them
economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of
the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late;
and nuclear power is the only alternative.

However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very dangerous. What 
would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the
future generations.

The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its
universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so
in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had
made worldwide contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry,
medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awarded ceremony.

Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for
the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.

Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death , the awards (gold medals, illuminated
diploma and money) are present to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important roles in the judges’
decision. American have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.

No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won
two prizes, but this is rare; other have shares their prizes.

Câu 28: When did the first award ceremony take place?

A. 1895 B. 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968

Câu 29: Why was the Nobel’s prize established?

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally,
the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations
can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a
sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their
child.

Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and
arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for
violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large
orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Winston, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set
too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for
every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that

he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

28. One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to………..
A. push their child into trying too much.

B. help their child to become a genius

C. make their child become a musician
D. neglect their child’s education.
29. Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they………..

A. force their children into achieving success.

B. themselves have been very successful. C. understand and help their children sensibly D. arrange private lessons for their children

30. Michael is fortunate in that………..
A. his father is a musician

B. his parents are quite rich. C. his mother knows little about music. D. his parents help him in a sensible way
31. Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ………..

A. has won a lot of piano competitions.

B. cannot learn much music from them C. has become a good musician. D. is afraid to disappoint them.

Dear Angela,

I was horrified when I found out that my 12-year-old daughter had been arrested for stealing some
make-up from a high street chemist’s. This happened because she had been dared by some older children
from her school. She was so frightened that she started crying –which is what attracted the attention of the
shop assistant. The police were called and she was given a tell-off at the police station.

Since this terrifying experience, she has been too afraid to go out on her own and cries all the time. My
husband doesn’t seem to care that much. He says that she shouldn’t have stolen in the first place and was
unlucky to be caught. Now it is over she must learn to live with it. But I feel a failure as a parent and am
afraid that my child will turn to crime later on in life.

Yours sincerely,
Ashamed

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Family life is changing. Two-parent households are on the decline in the United States as divorce,
remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. And families are smaller now, both due to the growth of
single-parent households and the drop in fertility. Not only are Americans having fewer children, but the
circumstances surrounding parenthood have changed. While in the early 1960s babies typically arrived
within a marriage, today fully four-in-ten births occur to women who are single or living with a non-marital
partner. At the same time that family structures have transformed, so has the role of mothers in the
workplace – and in the home. As more moms have entered the labor force, more have become breadwinners
– in many cases, primary breadwinners – in their families.

As a result of these changes, there is no longer one dominant family form in the US. Parents today are

raising their children agianst a backdrop of increasingly diverse and, for many, constantly evolving family
forms.

28. Which of the following trends is true in the United States?

A. The rate of divorce is increasing B. More women become housewives
C. Nuclear family becomes the dominant family form D. family structures remain unchanged
29. Why has the size of families in the US reduced?

A. There are more families with one parent and fewer babies born each year.
B. There are more extended families and less medical care

C. There are more people living abroad

D. More teenagers decide to live independently of their parents.
30. Who are breadwinners in the US?

A. Only men. B. Only women

C. Either men or women . D. Either women or children
31. Family forms in the US are……….?

A. Similar. B. Changing

C. Chaotic D. remaining the same.

32. Which of the followinf statements is not true?
A. The number of families with both parents is reducing
B. More women can earn money

C. More women have had their own jobs

Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the fiftieth state of
the United States, with its area of 16,700 square kilometers.

Japanese, and Filipinos. Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from
the US mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from several
countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so today the groups are partly

Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family. It is only 3.100 miles across. It is also the
sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days. Mercury always keeps one side
towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side always night. We only see the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen near the

sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call mercury the morning star or
evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you
can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very light.
If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from
Mercury, you can see that it's much more brilliant than it is seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the
sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On its lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300
degrees centigrate. But the dark side is extremely cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is probably
the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North America
by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new world
in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where
nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.

When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake
fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the white introduced horses, guns, gunpowder, and alcohol.
But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result – war. When the wars
were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered
by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations. These
alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen – a future in modern technology and
education, or the revival of ancient tradition and treaties.

A. before Columbus.
B. with Columbus.
C. after Columbus’s arrival.
D. in the 18th century.

A. once settled by Europeans.

B. inhabited by primitive men.

D. completely uninhabited by other people.

31. The most accurate statement about contemporary Indian is

order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the
number of hours a week each student studies online as well as that students’ learning materials and
assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the
best learning activities and condition for each invidual student and generate similar activities. It can also
identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students’ needs.

Changes in care giving roles

With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father’s role, modern
day fathers tend to be more involved in children’s care giving. They are now spending more time and energy
on their children. Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the
influence of a father’s love and attention is as great as that of a mother’s. Fatherly love helps children
develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover,
children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.

This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in
traditionally male-dominated societies.

Question 28. Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?

A. financial supporter B. teacher of moral values C. religious educator D. caregiver
Question 29. Social welfare programmes ___________.

A. never have any B. have more C. have fewer D. have a lot of

Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean three times. His first voyage brought him fame and popularity -
he discovered a new continent. But he had enemies who wanted to get rid of him. On his second voyage the
Government of the country that Columbus himself discovered threw him into prison.

He was sent back to Spain as a prisoner. But Columbus succeeded in proving that the lies his enemies
spread about him were untrue, and the Spanish Government gave him four ships to start on a new voyage.
But this third voyage was unfortunate from the beginning. The ships were met by terrible storms and the time
he reached the shores of Haiti, Columbus lost three of them. The remaining ship was about to go down when
Columbus reached the island.

It took Columbus almost a year to return to Spain. He was unhappy, disappointed and broken in
health. Worst of all, everyone forgot his achievements. He died in poverty in 1506 without knowing that he
discovered a new world. Before Columbus died, another traveller named Amerigo Vespussi returned to
Spain. He travelled along the coast of the land that Columbus discovered, and he proved that it was not the

coast of India, as Columbus thought, but unknown continent.

For a long time the new continent was called the New World. But at last, they decided to name it

America, in honour of Amerigo, whose voyage showed it was not India. America was discovered by

Columbus in 1492. It was named America in 1506, the year in which Columbus died.
Question 9. Columbus was famous and popular for...

A. his three voyages B. discovering a new world
C. having many enemies D. being thrown into prison
Question 10. When he returned to Spain, Columbus lived...

A. very happily B. in good health C. in poverty D. a better life
Question 11. Columbus died in 1506 without knowing that he himself...

A. had reached a new continent B. had discovered the coast India

C. showed the world the unknown continent D. proved the new land to be America
Question 12. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Columbus thought he had come to the coast of India.
B. People did not recognize Columbus' achievement.
C. The new continent was named after Amerigo.
D. The new continent was discovered by Amerigo.

In the past, getting recipes and cooking tips was a complicated process. A person had to go to the store
and buy a cook book, or get recipes from friends. Fortunately, the internet has changed all that. Now, if you
want to find a recipe for lasagna or cob salad, you just search online. It couldn’t be simpler.

Cooking blogs are a great source of information because they are free and there are so many of them.
They are also nice because they give all different kinds of ideas. The problems with blogs is that because we
don’t know who is writing them, we need to use with caution. When you are looking at a new blog, you
don’t know if the writer knows what he or she is talking about.

We’d like to introduce two popular cooking blogs. The first is called smitten kitchen. This website is
run by a family living in New York City. It focuses on food that doesn’t require many ingredients. If you
want to make food that is simple but wonderful, then this is the site for you. It offers hundreds and hundreds
of recipes, divided into categories. You will be amazed at how many there are.

courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you
were looking for.

28. Where can people find working holidays advertised?

A. On the Internet B. In magazines

C. On the radio D. In travel guidebooks
29. What can seem out of reach for young people?

A. Being able to get time off from school.
B. Being able to earn money.

C. Being able to find a part-time job.
D. Being able to travel.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each 
of the questions.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which says “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your
money back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it
never happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it also requires a lot of practice
to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War, people usually learned
a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.

Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start
learning one. How they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio
or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few
people try to learn a the language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the
language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not
necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors
chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned
quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students’
work for him.

28. According to some advertisements, you______.

A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.

B. needn’t pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
C. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
D. will be paid much money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
29. Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to________.

A. read the literature of the country B. read books and reports
C. do their work better D. go to foreign countries
30. The best way to learn a foreign language is________.

A. to go to the country where the language is spoken
B. to use machines and good books

C. to go to evening classes

D. to do as the advertisments tell you to

31. Learning a foreign language is a hard job______.

A. only for scientists and doctors B. only for the students at schools
C. for those people at home D. for most people

32. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

A. it is very difficult to learn a foreign language, including the native language.
B. few people can afford to learn a foreign language in the country where it is spoken.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each 
of the questions.

Human have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a
person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals.
Therefore, it was no wonder that when our ancuent ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the
ground, they made a quick snack of them.

In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people
snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and
salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that
you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!

For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects as
invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to ear. Therefore, being able to eat
insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because
they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to
even try them.

If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over
the ‘yuck’ factor.

28. Which is the reason given for gathering and eating insects?
A. they are very easy to find close to the home.

B. They are more nutritious than most vegetables.
C. They come in all shapes and sizes.

D. They are easier to catch than other prey animals.

29. Why are deep-fried insects considered a perfect snack food?

effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much 
easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.

As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You don’t
need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach. The main
thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that’s
your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that will
support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they 
will last you a long time. It’s always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports
shop.

As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do much at the beginning – 
especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten
minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase 
the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at resonable speed

for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel comfortable with whatever
you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel
uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case,
training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercise for twice as
long as or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as fit.

In the 1960s it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs. Nowadays, it can

voice. Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.

</div>
(147)<div class='page_container' data-page=147>

Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music.
A computer can analyse a singer’s voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a song,
the computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one song and the 
computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice. Singers can sing new songs many years
after they have died.

Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same
as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or “band”), they first try to develop the
band’s ‘profile’. They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will attract young 
people. Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they
should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play.

In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the
big companies are too commercial.

28. Today, to record songs, it takes ________.

A. Longer than it used to do

B. Shorter than it used to do

C. Only one or two days

D. The same amount of time as the 1960s

29. Today’s record procedure results in __________.

A. Different sounds of recorded songs and live- performed songs.

B. The mixture between CDs and live concert.

C. Some special effects on songs.

D. Differences invoices and instruments played

30. Which of the following is NOT true about the new computer programme?

A. It is predicted to change the music future.

B. It can imitate singers’ voice

C. It can sing only one recorded song of the singer.

D. The singer does not necessarily present to really sing.

31. Record companies don’t always _________.

A. Suggest the outfits of the band

B. Tell the band what to say

C. Give the band freedom to do things

D. Decide the songs the band will play

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH IN TODAY’S WORLD

English was originally the language of England, and it has become the primary or secondary language
of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and India. Nowadays, it is
the most international language essential to communication in our current time.

First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who come from
different countries ( for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a common language to
communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries, children are taught ad
encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the university level, students in many countries

study almost all their subjects in English in order to make the material more accessible to international
students. On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other
languages often give you the option to translate the site. It is a primary language of the press: more
newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no matter where in the
world you are, you will find some of these books and newspapers available.

Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the easiest
language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide you
want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good
understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe. Because it is the
international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assisstance and help in every part of the world. You
can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find will have English as a booking option.
28. When two people having different mother tongues meet each other, they will use ________.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in the flesh; it is
only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of education,
which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health. When we are
young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is like to be weak and ill. We are so used to vigorous health that

we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scaredly know we have lungs and
liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives us pain and sickness, we learn by bitter
experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.

Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our efforts so
that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils our life. What
must we do to keep our health.

We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food.
Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get plenty of
sleep, which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must live as much
as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular physical
exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and
keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pur. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.

28. According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends ______________.
A. only when they are with us.

B. only when they are good to us.
C. only when they passed away.

D. only when they live a long way from us.

A. we are always in good health.

B. most of the diseases can be cured nowadays.
C. we are so accustomed to good health.

All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of the
most popular is undoubtedly sausage.

To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various animal
parts. Since meats is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in their original
forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less appetizing areas of an
animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed well, this meat mixture is then stuffed into
the cleaned intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is sausage.

The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the
favourites . In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When sausages
are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavor. While boiling is probably the simplest method,
smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavor.

Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it bacame the
tasty thing you eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.

Education system of Vietnam in the past

Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal

education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared
Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long, and were busy
with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the
Lydynasty had been educated in a pagoda.

To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Tong
established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to appreciate
the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select scholars for
office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’s history, was set up for
the education of sons of royalty and other high – ranking officials.

There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don,
Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students would only study literature and
ancient history of China, of Viet Nam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public Administration
curriculum was finally added to the program. When the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were
taught simple mathematics.

From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme has adopted the western educational system with 
three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese National language
is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law, science, math,
medicine and as well as other languages.

28. In the past, students mostly learned ________.
A. the ways to rule the country
