When I was younger, I hated being the eldest child and the only girl in my family. But now I
am older, I realize that being 'Big Sister' actually has its advantages. First of all, I get special
treatment from my parents and brothers. I get my own room, and brothers have to do all the
heavy work around the house. Another benefit is that, being the eldest, I have learned to be
responsible and dependable. For example, my parents often leave my brothers in my care when
they go out. I also try my best in whatever I do in order to be a good example for my brothers.
The experience I've had in taking care of my brothers has prepared me for my own family in the
future. So, even though I didn't choose to be the eldest child and the only girl in my family, I have
succeeded in making this situation work to my best advantage.

IX. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Home Life in Japan
It is common in Japan for three generations to live under the same roof. This is becoming less
common today, but still exists, certainly in the countryside.
Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their wives. They are returned a sum of money as
pocket money, otherwise how to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances of a family are the
responsibility of the women who handle most of the household expenses. There are exceptions in
instances when something of value. like a car, is being bought. This is changing with more women
going to work.
Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and
company demands on them are so great. It means that they often really have very little time or
energy to spend with their children. The responsibility for raising children, overseeing the
education fall onto the mothers. Mothers play an enormous role in the lives of their children and the
bond is very strong. Babysitters are rarely used and mothers often sleep with their babies. A
mother will also spend hours with children doing school work. Few Japanese men help with
housework. There is more pressure today for this to change.
Most families in Japan today are nuclear families, such as those in the United States. That is to
say that a married couple lives together with their children, perhaps with one grandparent. But for the
most part, the Japanese family today looks much like the American family.
56. In Japan, extended families are still popular ____.
A. in big cities B. in the countryside C. everywhere D. in urban areas
57. A Japanese woman is responsible for all of these EXCEPT ____
A. raising children B. handle household expenses
C. making decisions on very valuable things D. taking care of children's school work
58. Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households ____.
A. are under great pressure of work
B. are responsible for most household chores
C. handle most of the household expenses
D. stay at home to work as babysitters
59. Nowadays there is a pressure that men should ____.
A. earn more money B. help their wives with housework
C. leave important decisions to their wives D. work harder at work
60. Most families in Japan nowadays may be ____.
A. extended families B. three-generation families
C. the same as the traditional ones D. similar to those in the Western
IX. Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the
following passage.
Working Mothers
In the United States today, more than half of mothers with young children work compared
to about one third (61) ____1970s. Women have been moving into the workforce not only for
career (62) ____but also for the income.
In many families today, mothers continue to work because they have careers that they

her children. However, no scientific evidence says children are harmed when their mothers work. A
child who is emotionally well adjusted, well loved, and well cared for will thrive regardless of (67)

Junk Food's Effect On Our Body
Fast food nutrition should make up a minimal part of a healthy diet. Fast foods and junk foods
are high in fat, sodium and sugar, which can lead to obesity and a range of health problems,
including diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.
Junk food doesn't contain the nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. As a result, you
may feel fatigued and lack the energy you need to complete daily tasks. The high levels of sugar
in junk food puts your metabolism under stress. Because fast food and junk food don't contain
adequate amounts of protein and good carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels will drop suddenly
after eating, leaving you feeling annoyed, tired and craving sugar.
Junk food contains large amounts of fat, and because fat accumulates in your body, you'll
gain weight and could become obese. The more weight you gain, the more you'll be at risk for
serious illnesses. The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food can cause high blood pressure or
hypertension.
In the short term, high levels of dietary fat lead to poor mental performance. You'll feel tired
and have trouble concentrating because your body might not be getting enough oxygen.
The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food and fast food can contribute to heart disease by
raising blood cholesterol levels and contributing to arterial plaque build-up. The high levels of fatty
acids found in many junk foods and fast foods can lead to fatty liver deposits, which, over time,
can cause liver disease.
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in
each blank.
Answer A B
101. fatigued (adj) A. extremely fat
102. metabolism (n) B. build up; increase over a period of time
103. craving (adj) C. tired
104. accumulate (v) D. wanting something very much
105. obese (adj) E. all the processes that cause food to be used for energy and
growth
Task 2: Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
106. The amount of sugar in fast food is .
A. providing you with enough energy to complete daily tasks
B. so high that it puts your body under stress
C. leading to obesity and a range of health problems
D. so low that you want to eat much more sugar
107. The main reason that we shouldn't eat much fast food is that .

hợp đó.
Independent Clause 1, coordinating conjunction Independent Clause 2

rate song. They've never wanted to play the good one."

Động từ visit được thêm đuổi ed thành visited - dạng quá khứ đơn của động từ visit.
It began to rain. Trời đã bắt đầu mưa.
Trong ví dụ này, động từ begin biến đổi thành began vì đây là động từ bất quy tắc.
2. Thì Quá khứ tiếp diễn

S + was / were + V-ing + …
Trong đó: + was đi với các chủ ngữ số ít: I, He, She, It, ...
+ were đi với: You, We, They, và các chủ ngữ số nhiều khác.
Ex: Andy was staying in Paris. Andy đang ở Paris.
Động từ stay chia thành was staying tương ứng với chủ ngữ số ít là Andy.
We were walking in the park. Chúng tôi đang đi bộ trong công viên.
Động từ walk chia thành were walking tương ứng với chủ ngữ số nhiều là We.
II. KHÁC BIỆT TRONG CÁC CÁCH SỬ DỤNG

1. Khác biệt 1
• Thì quá khứ đơn dùng để diễn tả một hành động đã hoàn thành tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ.
• Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn nhấn mạnh sự việc đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ.
Ex: I did my homework at 4 p.m. yesterday.
Tớ đã làm xong bài tập lúc 4h chiều hôm qua. - sự việc đã hoàn thành vào 4h chiều
qua.
I was doing my homework at 4 p.m. yesterday.

Tớ đang làm bài tập vào lúc 4h chiều qua. -vẫn đang diễn ra, chưa hoàn thành vào
4h chiều qua.
My parents got up at 5.30 a.m. yesterday.
Sáng hôm qua bố mẹ tớ dậy lúc 5h30.
My sister and I were sleeping at 5.30 yesterday.
Chị tớ và tớ vẫn đang ngủ lúc 5.30 sáng qua.
2. Khác biệt 2
• Thì quá khứ đơn: diễn tả một chuỗi các hành động trong quá khứ, hành động này xảy ra sau
hành động khác. Thường dùng kết hợp với các từ nối như and hay then.
• Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn: diễn tả các hành động xảy ra song song đồng thời. Thường sử dụng liên từ
while, có nghĩa là trong khi.
Ex: She came home, opened the window and turned on the TV.
Cô ấy về nhà, mở cửa sổ và bật tivi. - một chuỗi các hành động diễn ra lần lượt.
She was watching TV while her husband was cooking.
Cô ấy đang xem tivi trong khi chồng cô ấy đang nấu cơm. - 2 hành động xảy ra cùng
lúc
She came in the room and then looked around for a seat.
Cô ấy vào phòng và sau đó tìm một ghế để ngồi.
He was playing a mobile game while the teacher was speaking.
Cậu ấy đang chơi game trên điện thoại di động trong khi cô giáo đang giảng bài.
III. KẾT HỢP THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN VÀ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN
Kết hợp thì quá khứ đơn và quá khứ tiếp diễn, sử dụng when hoặc while để diễn tả một hành động
đang xảy ra thì hành động khác xen vào.
• Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn được dùng để diễn tả hành động đang xảy ra, thường là dài hơn, lâu hơn và
được đi với while hoặc when.
• Thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả hành động xen vào và chỉ đi với when.
LƯU Ý:
• Khi When hoặc While đứng đầu câu thì cần có dấu phẩy ngăn cách 2 mệnh đề.
• Khi when hoặc while đứng giữa 2 mệnh đề thì không cần dấu phẩy.
• Không dùng when và while trong cùng một câu.
Ex: When the phone rang, we were having dinner.
Khi điện thoại kêu, chúng tôi đang ăn tối.
Trong ví dụ trên, the phone rang là việc xen vào nên chia ở quá khứ đơn và đi với When, còn we
were having dinner là việc đang xảy ra nên chia ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
Câu trên cũng có thể viết thành:
The phone rang while we were having dinner.
Điện thoại kêu trong khi chúng tôi đang ăn tối.
Trong câu này, we were having dinner chia ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn, đi với while. Liên từ while đứng
ở giữa câu nên không cần dấu phẩy.
When the teacher asked me a question, I wasn't listening.
Khi cô giáo hỏi tôi, tôi đang không chú ý lắng nghe.
We arrived at school while it was raining. (We arrived at school when it was
raining.)
Chúng tôi đến trường trong khi trời đang mưa.

THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta, The
original drink was a type of syrup, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret
ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine; and with its coca (the source of cocaine), it must
have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula
to another druggist, Asa Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea that
Pemberton’s “medicine” would be much better if it was mixed with soda. Candler was thus the
man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also advertised his new drink, and soon
people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola.
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple of
businessmen who wanted to sell it in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and
very quickly the men became millionaires. The famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was
designed in 1916. And the famous Coca-Cola logo is the most famous logo in the world. Unlike any
other famous commercial logos, it has not changed in 100 years!
During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the
Coca-Cola Company began to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had
to start bottling the drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including Russia and China; it is
the world’s most popular drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the world’s most valuable secret! The exact
ingredients for making Coca-Cola are only known to a handful of people. And as for the “coca” that
was in the original drink that was eliminated in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous. Today’s
Coca-Cola contains caffeine, but not cocaine!

VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
THE BALANCE OF NATURE
All the different plants and animals in a natural community are in a state of balance. This
balance is achieved by the plants and animals interacting with each other and with their non-living
surroundings. An example of a natural community is a woodland, and a woodland is usually
dominated by a particular species of plant, such as the oak tree in an oak wood. The oak tree in
this example is therefore called the dominant species but there are also many other types of
plants, from brambles, bushes, and small trees to mosses, lichens and algae growing on tree
trunks and rocks.
The plants of a community are the producers: they use carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen to
build up their tissues using energy in the form of sunlight. The plant tissues form food for the
plant-eating animals (herbivores) which are in turn eaten by flesh-eating animals (carnivores).
Thus, plants produce the basic food supply for all the animals of a community. The animals
themselves are the consumers, and are either herbivores or carnivores.
Examples of herbivores in a woodland community are rabbits, deer, mice and snails, and
insects such as aphids and caterpillars. The herbivores are sometimes eaten by the carnivores.
Woodland carnivores are of all sizes, from insects such as beetles and lacewings to animals such as
owls, shrews and foxes. Some carnivores feed on herbivores, some feed on the smaller carnivores,
while some feed on both: a tawny owl will eat beetles and shrews as well as voles and mice. These
food relationships between the different members of the community are known as food chains or
food webs. All food chains start with plants. The links of the chain are formed by the herbivores
that eat the plants and the carnivores that feed on the herbivores. There are more organisms at
the base of the food chain than at the top; for example, there are many more green plants than
carnivores in a community.
Another important section of the community is made up of the decomposers. They include
the bacteria and fungi that live in the soil and feed on dead animals and plants. By doing this they
break down the tissues of the dead organisms and release mineral salts into the soil.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. All the plants in a wood are eaten by animals.

HOW TO STOP WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment today. There are several
sources of water pollution ranging from sewage and fertilizers to soil erosion. The impact of water
pollution on wildlife and their natural habitats can be immense. There are also a number of things
that the average person can do to help stop water pollution.
We should conserve the soil because soil conservation influences water pollution through
erosion. As soil is eroded by water, it transfers sediment from the land to the body of water, which
is polluted by the chemicals in the sediment. Phosphorus and industrial chemicals can be pulled
into water through soil erosion. When phosphorus levels in water become too high, they can lead
to algae blooms that can cause massive fish deaths and make water unsafe for human use. The
best way to prevent soil erosion is to keep the banks of rivers well-covered with plants or trees.
Planting trees can have a significantly positive impact on the reduction in soil erosion.
The oil used to lubricate engines in all types of machines needs to be changed regularly.
When the oil is changed, it presents a number of environmental hazards if not disposed of
properly. When a leaky engine releases this oil into the street, it runs to the sewer and makes its
way into waterways.
Wherever you see a lot of human recreation, you will almost always see lots of evidence of
human use. Wrappers, bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common site at many well-used
beaches and rivers around the world. It should be fairly obvious that the trash from these places
often ends up in waterways and can cause pollution. Plastics are an especially big issue when it
comes to water contamination at beaches and waterways. Picking up litter wherever you find it is
honestly the best, fastest way to do your part to stop this type of water pollution.
Organize cleaning parties with local people to make the reach larger. Get businesses
involved as sponsors who will donate prizes to the person who collects the most trash if you're
having a hard time finding people to sign up to help.
It is estimated that the consumption of plastic by humans is between 250 and 300 million
tons a year. About 80% of the plastic in the oceans came from the land. Using alternatives to
plastics or using “less disposable” plastics whenever possible can have a surprising impact on
ocean pollution. The fact that plastic is cheap and useful for different purposes makes it obvious
choices for many people.
106. Lubricants can cause environmental hazards when ____.
A. they may be found in the streets B. they engines work perfectly
C. they are not disposed properly D. they are changed regularly
107. The following are the effects of water pollution EXCEPT that ____.
A. it may make water unsafe for human use
B. it may spoil the beauty of beaches or waterways
C. it may cause massive fish deaths due to algae blooms
D. it may keep the banks of rivers well-covered with trees
108. Soil erosion can lead to water pollution because ____.
A. massive fish deaths will make the rivers unsafe for human use
B. soil can be eroded by rain water
C. soil erosion can occur naturally everywhere
D. chemicals in the sediment from the soil erosion will pollute water
109. In order to make beaches clean and green, we should ____.
A. follow the trash from these places which often ends up in waterways
B. find places with a lot of human recreation and of evidence of human use
C. organize campaigns in which prizes will be given to the business who collects the most
trash
D. ask local people to take part in cleaning up the beaches, maybe with the sponsor from
businesses
110. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. using too much plastic can cause bad effects on ocean pollution
B. using plastics only causes ocean pollution
C. we don't know how to stop water pollution
D. alternatives to plastics or “less disposable” plastics can make the situation worse
