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 30 to 34.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and
minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts,
the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by
trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily.
These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to
assess progress. Not only is this an effective way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a


much deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end
of the word day with uncertainly over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can
contribute to serious problem in mental and physical health.

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 35 to 42.
There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job
application. Here are some of the most common and most serious.
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all
this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the
specific skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are
essential. In short, they won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements
of what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how much did
they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the

employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they are
interested in what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good one is brief - three to four
sentences long. A good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further.
Many resumes list ‘hard' job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills.
However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical skills.
All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying.
If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a
connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their
organization. The person who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may
take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how
good you are. On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie.

Câu 3: Đáp án B
Đáp án B trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất, các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi vào âm 2.
Câu 4: Đáp án C
Đáp án C trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai, các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
Câu 5: Đáp án B
Xét trong câu, nhận thấy câu có hai mệnh với hai động từ chia khác thể nhau, mệnh đề đầu chia với thì hiện
tại đơn và mệnh đề sau chia ở thì tương lai gần. Tuy nhiên, xét về nghĩa thì ta thấy câu có hàm ý nhấn mạnh

vế hai hơn là vế một, nhằm thể hiện “ý tố cáo và khiển trách anh chàng vì đã khơng chân thành trong tình
u với cô gái”, bằng chứng là hành động ngay trong mệnh đề thứ hai; chứ không phải nhằm nhấn mạnh vế
một là “anh chàng nói rằng anh ta u cơ gái”/
→ Với mệnh đề này có trợ động từ là “are”, câu ở thể khẳng định, do đó ta dùng đi với “aren’t you”
Câu 6: Đáp án D
Ask sb + not + to + V st: yêu cầu / đề nghị ai đó khơng làm gì
Câu 7: Đáp án D
* Căn cứ vào cấu trúc câu có “If”, vế hai có “would + Vo” nhận thấy đây là dạng câu điều kiện loại 2, diễn tả
giả thiết khơng có thật trong hiện tại hoặc tương lai. Ta có cấu trúc như sau:
If + S + V (quá khứ đơn) + O, S + would / could + Vo: nếu … thì
→ loại A, C
* Xét về nghĩa, ta loại C vì cần dùng “to V” với động từ “solve” để chỉ mục đích
Câu 8: Đáp án B
Trong câu có “recently” nên dùng hiện tại hoàn thành, chủ ngữ the number of số ít → dùng “has Ved / V3”
Câu 9: Đáp án D

B. although + Clause: mặc dù
C. because of + N / V-ing: bởi vì
D. because + clause: vì
Câu 10: Đáp án C
By the time S + V (qk) + st, S + had + Vp2 + st
Câu 11: Đáp án B
Have (no) intention to do sth / of doing sth: (khơng) có ý định để làm gì
Xét cấu trúc trong câu, sau chỗ trống cần điền là một Ving, do đó ta dùng “of”
Câu 12: Đáp án B
Vụ nổ gây ra việc đường tắc, hay là đường tắc bị gây ra bởi vụ nổ, ta dùng bị động và mệnh đề quan hệ để
có ‘which was caused by the explosion”. Tuy nhiên, ta có thể chuyển về mệnh đề rút gọn ở dạng Vpp khi
mệnh dề đầy đủ ở bị động, và dạng V-ing khi mệnh đề đầy đủ ở dạng chủ động.
Ở câu này đang ở bị động nên ta có “caused by the explosion”.
