II. Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have
gone to a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had
high prices or bad service. Or maybe you have booked a hotel and found out later that the
room was nothing like the advertisement.
These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can
do this by using apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme
on a smartphone. You can use apps to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games,
get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app.
Review apps help us evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. The
idea is very simple. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with
one of your apps. You can say anything you want. If you like a hotel you stayed in, you can
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

tell people that it was wonderful. If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad,
then you tell people not to eat there. Other people can use their apps to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to
go out and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps
are getting more and more popular every day. Some apps are for specific services. For
example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books. There are also
other larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think
of.
Answer the following questions. (2,0 points)
1. What can we do to prevent unpleasant experiences with restaurants, stores or hotels?
2. What is an app?
3. How can a review app help you if you want to book a hotel?
4. What does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
5. What does the app “Goodreads” focus on?
Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). (0,6 point)
6. According to the passage, using review apps is complicated.
7. A lot of people do not prefer to use review apps because they prefer to make their own
decisions.
8. There are both apps for specific services and larger ones for every service.
Choose the best answer. (0,4 point)
9. The phrase “is short for” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by________.
A. stands for B. supports C. takes after D. offers
10. What does the passage say about apps?
A. There are very few good apps. B. You can use apps for many things.
C. Apps are only for travel. D. Apps are very expensive to use.
