I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
A recent survey has shown that the busiest shopping street in the world is not in London.
New York, or Paris, but in Warsaw, Poland. Nowy Swiat, which means New World, has
an incredible 14,000 Poles walking down it every hour. It's a lovely place to shop. The
pavements are very wide. There are statues, palaces, attractive town houses and high-
class restaurants. The buildings are not too high. They look old, but in fact the whole city
was rebuilt after World War II.
There aren't any billboards or neon lights. There isn't any loud music, and there aren't
many tourists. People think that Polish shops have nothing to sell, so nobody comes
shopping here. The world does not know about this paradise for shoppers yet.
It is now possible to buy almost everything in Warsaw. There are a lot of Western shops
but the interesting thing is that Polish manufacturers are also now producing high quality
goods themselves because the products are not mass produced for world consumption.
Nowy Swiat has a lot of small, specialty, and chic shops. It hasn't got the huge
department stores that sell the same products everywhere.

Nobody can deny the advantages of foreign languages in life now, especially English.

countries all over the world. It's a useful and effective tool of communication in the times
of international communication.
English is a means for me to get access to knowledge, science and technology. We must
admit that English is an important part in many fields of life: trade, business, computer
education, airmail, conferences, telecommunication, literature, newspapers and
magazines.
In brief, English is the golden key to open the treasures of knowledge and seize the
opportunities for career, technology and development.

PART B: READING
L Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Where vegetarian meals are served in courses, the parts are usually fitted into an
unchanged pattern: soup, main course, salad and dessert. Many vegetarian cooking books
have imposed this old structure onto the vegetarian diet and try to find a "meat
substitute". However, the first thing to do when considering the vegetarian cuisine is to
get free of these ideas.
Vegetarian cookery is not the replacement for anything. It is a rich and varied cuisine,
full of many marvelous dishes with definite characteristics, not the imitation of anything
else. There are many ways to arrange a vegetarian menu. It need not be the slave of the
traditional pattern, though this arrangement seems fitting and useful. It can also consist
of several equally important courses or several dishes served at once.
1. How many courses are there in a vegetarian meal?
A. one. B. two. C. three. D. four.
2. What does the word "meat substitute" in bold mean?
A. Things that are made of meat. B. Things that replace meat.
C. Things that look like meat. D. Things that imitate meat.
3. According to the first passage, the author seems to
A. agree that the vegetarian meals should be the same as in the cookbooks.
B. agree on the vegetarian cookbook's old structure.
C. disagree that the vegetarian meals should always follow the traditional pattern.
D. agree that the pattern should be kept unchanged.
4. According to the second passage,
A. The vegetarian menu lends itself to various arrangements.
B. There is only one main course but there are different arrangements in a vegetarian
39
menu.
C. The traditional arrangement for a vegetarian menu is useless.
D. The traditional arrangement for a vegetarian menu is the best.
5. What is the writer's main purpose in the passage?
A. To say that the traditional vegetarian meal is not suitable
B. To tell the readers that the vegetarian meal is served in course
C. To say that the vegetarian meals are rich and various cuisine, full of many
marvelous dishes with definite characteristics
D. To give background knowledge on the vegetarian meal

Read the passage and do the task that follows.
To many people, smoking is not only a pleasure but also an addiction. They need
smoking, depend on it, and can hardly get rid of it. If they do not smoke for hours, they
will feel a craving for a cigarette. They often chain-smoke that means they light one
cigarette after another. Smoking is often considered anti- social because many people do
not like the smell of cigarettes or the sight of the smoker's stained fingers and of ash-
trays full of cigarette-ends. Above all, smoking is harmful to health. In many countries,
they forbid to advertise cigarettes and a warning is printed every packet of cigarette that
is "Smoking is bad for your health". Scientists have proved that there is a close link
between smoking and lung diseases, such as cough and tuberculosis and the worst of all
is a fatal cancer.

PART D: SPEAKING
As I looked at the photographs taken during my childhood days, it seemed only
yesterday that I was a little child.
My childhood was a pleasant one. Being the only child in my family, my grandparents
doted on me. As a result, I was a rather mischievous boy. I liked snacks like chocolates,
ice-cream and Cadies, but I hated proper, meals. I can recall how my granny had to run
after me, one hand holding a bowl of porridge and the other holding a spoon. I would run
faster, shouting noisily as I played with my toy aeroplane.
What a little brat I must have been!
I also remember the time when I mistook the laundry soap for a bar of chocolate and
wanted to much it. Luckily, my granny saw it before I took the first bite.
Since I have no brothers or sisters, I would play with my neighbours at times. There was
a boy, Thien, whom I looked up to. He was very good at playing marbles and he used to
share the marbles he won with me.
Now I am a big boy, my childhood hays have become a beautiful past which is worthy of
recollection.

Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a
light in the sky. And other thought it was a big ball'of cheese!
The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They
wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their
names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that
the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where
they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And
they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth
for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people
wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined
Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were
off on their long trip back to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of

forever.

PART B: READING
1. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney's first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly
his most famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in
1927 that Disney first drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his
inspiration from the tame field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in Kansas
City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now- familiar shorts with two
buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had intended to call
him Mortimer until his wife Lilian intervened and christened him Mickey Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey's debut in the
short cartoon Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat
Willie, Mickey was whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack.
By the 1930s, Mickey's image had circled the globe. He was a superstar at the height of
his career.
Although he has received few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the
addition of white gloves and the rounder forms of a more childish nobody, he has
remained true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is
ice. He may get into trouble, but he takes it on the chin with a grin. He is both good-
natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was Disney's own image of himself. Why else
would he have insisted on doing Mickey's voice in all he cartoon for twenty years?
When interviewed, he would say, "There is a lot of the mouse in me". And that mouse
has remained one of the most pervasive images in American popular culture.
1. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The image of Mickey Mouse. B. The life of Walt Disney.
C. The history of cartoon. D. The definition of American culture.
2. What distinguished Steam Willie from earlier cartoon?
A. Better color. B. A sound track.

Last Sunday morning, as the weather was fine, I went to Vung Tau with my family. It
took us about two hours by car to arrive at our destination, and I felt very excited about
it.
When our car reached the top of the cliff overlooking the Bay, now I admired the
golden sand of the long beach, the blue sky and water, and the splendid country
surroundings which looked like and artist's painting.
We put on our bathing-suits and ran into the water. It was a very happy swim for me.
We played ball, challenged each other in swimming a certain distance. Of course, I was
always beaten by my bigger brothers, but I was satisfied with my good effort. When we
felt tired, we play down on the beach to rest and to have some sunbath. At about noon,
we returned to our tent and had lunch.
About 3 p.m, we went once more into the water and enjoyed the afternoon bath till 5
p.m. Finally, we got ready to start for home. Everyone was delighted to have spent such
a wonderful day.

Everyone sat up expectantly. It was a maths period and all of us waited eagerly for our
maths teacher, Mrs. Hanh, to come into the class. She is very popular among us. In fact,
she is my favourite teacher.
Mrs. Hanh has short curly hair and wears thick glasses which make her look strict.
However, she is actually very approachable and is always ready to lend an ear to our
problems. She is motherly and cares very much for us. I remember once when I fell and
87
hurt my knee, Mrs. Hanh helped me to stop the bleeding and took me to the clinic. I was
very grateful to her.
I used to dislike maths when I was younger because I found it far too complicated. Mrs.
Hanh always makes maths lessons interesting and easy to understand. She is very
patient in explaming maths problems tous and always makes sure everyone
understands. Under her guidance, my maths has improved by leaps and bounds.
I have grown to love maths and I always score high marks in my maths tests now and
it's all because of my favourite teacher.

PART B: READING
I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was one of the truly great
men of all time. He preserved the American Union during the Civil War and proved to
the world that democracy can be a lasting form of government. Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address, and many of his other speeches and writings, are classic statements of
democratic beliefs and goals.
Lincoln's outstanding asset was insight. Lincoln realized at the beginning of the Civil
War that the Union must be saved. The United States was the only important democracy
in the world. Lincoln knew that self- government would be proved a failure if the nation
could be destroyed by a minority of its own people. He determined that the nation and
democracy would not be destroyed.
Lincoln's second greatest asset was his ability to express his convictions so clearly, and
with such force, that millions of Americans made them theừ own Lincoln would have
been surprised that some of his speeches came to be honoured as great literature. He
sought only to be understood, and to convince.
Lincoln's third great source of strength was his iron will. The Civil War had to be
carried on until the Union was restored. At times, people in the North wavered in this
purpose. Lincoln never doubted that in the end, right would make might, and the North
would triumph. His unyielding faith in victory helped to win victory.
1. According to the passage, what was the Gettysburg Address?
A. A declaration of war against the South.
B. A famous talk by Lincoln on democratic principles.
C. One of the essays on government written by Lincoln
D. Lincoln's speech at his inauguration.
2. According to the passage, what was Abraham Lincoln's greatest strength?
A. The ability to see the true nature of a situation.
92
B. The capacity to express his views in public.
C. His success in becoming president of the United States.
D. The impact of his speeches and writings.
3. The author probably feels that Lincoln
A. Was at times too stubborn for his own good.
B. Never fully realized the importance of self - government.
C. Was as great a writer as he was a politician.
D. Was single - handedly responsible for saving the union.
4. The passage would most likely be found in a textbook on which of the following
subjects?
A. Historical literature B. Public administration
C. The Civil War D. Political science
5. According to the passage, Abraham Lincoln believed that the North.
A. Would quickly triumph over the minority of people trying to destroy the union.
B. Would achieve victory through the moral power of its cause.
C. Did not have the strength to continue the civil war for a long time.

When the bell rang, everyone jumped for joy. The school holidays which would last one
month have just begun.
That night, my whole family caught the flight to Da Lat. We spent an interesting week at
the beautiful place, doing some sight-seeing enjoying the delights of the local dishes.
Back in the city, my piano lesson resumed. My Grade IV piano examination was
scheduled for the last day of the school holidays. Therefore, I spent two hours every
morning practicing the piano.
Of course, I spent time doing other things as well. I visited my grandparents, bringing
with me cakes that my mother had specially baked or them. In addition, Daddy lined up a
series of programs for my brother and me like picnics, fishing trips and shopping.
It was usually when we were having fun that we left time passed quickly. The last week
of my holidays was mostly spent on my studies and my piano practices.
I passed my piano examination. It was certainly a good way to welcome school. I wished
my school holidays were longer, I was also eager to see the familiar faces of my friends
and teachers in school again.

of time to complete one rotation on its axis.
The moon is the only celestial body that has been visited by human beings. One reason is
that the moon is much closer to the earth than the other planets; it is estimated that the
moon is about 24,000 miles from the earth. We can create gravitational forces between
the earth and the moon cause some interesting effects. The most obvious is the tides.

PART D: SPEAKING
I'm a first-year student at university. I go to school six days a week with only Sunday off.
I leave home for school at 7:00 a.m every day except Sunday and usually return home at
6 o'clock in the evening.
When I come home, I am busy helping my mother prepare dinner or do some housework
such as: washing clothes, cleaning the floor, dusting the furniture etc. After I finish
dinner, I either study or tutor my younger brothers and sisters.
I don't like to go out because of my heavy schedule. So I have no time to dose.
Nevertheless, once in a while I manage to join my friends on Sunday evening at a
Karaoke restaurant and we all have a good time together. Most of the time, I just stay (at)
home listening to music, watching videos or reading novels whenever I can find the time.

PART D: SPEAKING
I learn many subjects in school. But the one I enjoy learning is History.
History tells us how people lived ages ago. It also tells us how men had to struggle to
make the world a better place to live in.
Many pupils, however, do not like to read history. They say that there are too many
names and dates to remember. But they do not understand that if we do not know about
the past, we cannot understand the present properly. In fact, only a study of History will
make us realize that everything we do today is the result of what our grandfathers and
others before them did in the past. So, History is the long story of man's struggle through
the ages. As we read this story, we learn many interesting things.
I love history so much that I have a lot of history books in my house. Some day, I might
even write a history book myself.

PART D: SPEAKING
Of all the people in the world, I like my dear mother the most. Not all the wealth in the
world can make me hate my mother.
Everyone knows that mother's love is the greatest love in the world. When I see how my
mother behaves towards my father, brothers, sisters and me, I am filled with pride. In
everything that she does, there is a touch of love.
Though she sometimes scolds me, I know that she does so not because she is bad but
because she is tired, working all day for the happiness of our family. So I keep quiet
while she expresses her anger so that she may feel a little relieved after that.
That she loves her family is proved every day. When my youngest brother is very hungry
in the middle of the night and cries for milk, she wakes up at once to attend to him, even
if she is tired or ill. In the same way, she wakes up before all the others and goes to bed
last, so that everyone in the family can receive her care. If anyone is ill in the family, she
is the one who is the most worried.
Such care and love no one in the world can give to me. For these reasons my mother will
always remain the dearest person to me.

I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Every four or ten years, something happens to the weather system. Everything changes,
and scientists don't understand why.
People call this "El Nino". It usually happens at Christmas time and El Nino is the
Spanish name for the baby Jesus.
The El Nino that started in 1982 was different from the other recent ones. It caused huge
changes in the ocean currents. It caused floods in some areas and droughts in others.
There were terrible windstorms and huge ocean waves swept houses into the sea. It did
billions of dollars' worth of damage. Thousands of people lost their lives and thousands
of others were left homeless.
In 1983 the winds, ocean currents and pressure areas started to become normal again.
Scientists throughout the world are using satellites and research boats to observe the
atmosphere and the ocean. It is a very complicated problem, but if the scientists of the
world work together, they should be able to find out the causes of El Nino. Then they
will be able to predict what will happen and work to prevent a repeat of the death and
destruction of 1982-1983.
1. How often does El Nino happen?
A. every four years. B. every ten years.
C. every fourteen years. D. every four or ten years.

PART D: SPEAKING
Our family live in the suburb of HCM City, not far from the central city. It's about 30
kilometres to the South.
Last week my parents, my brothers and sisters paid a visit to my grandparents in the
country and I stayed at home alone. I was in the habit of getting up very early in the
morning. As usual, after going to the market to buy some necessary things, I came back
home to start doing the housework: cleaning the
floor, making the bed, making coffee and preparing lunch. The house in no time was so
lean and tidy that it seemed bigger and larger. I worked from 7.00 a.m to 9.00 a.m. I felt
so tired that I had to stop work for a rest. After 15 minutes of relaxation, I started
working again.
No sooner had I taken the teapot from the cupboard than suddenly I felt so something
burning downstairs. I got such an embarrassment and fright that I dropped the teapot
while I was hurrying downstairs. To my horror and surprise the kettle on the electric
stove was burning as red a s fire. I was in such an embarrassing state that I was quite at a
loss. An idea flashed through my mind: I rushed to the switchboard to cut off the electric
power. The house suddenly grew as dark as pitch. In the pitch-dark kitchen, the little
turned so dazzling red that it looked just like a hot burning sun on a stifling summer
afternoon!

PART B: READING
I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be
installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate
their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many
advantages: wind and water power relies on turbines which are noisy, expensive and
easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no
moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large
are to work effectively.
The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it
costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is
because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will
reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly
source of energy.
1. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil energy.
B. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
C. Solar energy's advantages over other sources of energy.
D. The cost of solar energy.

3. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They are non-polluting. B. They operate quietly.
C. They require little maintenance. D. They cost little to produce
4. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. oil. B. gas. C. solar energy. D. coal.
5. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy?
A. It is expensive.
B. It depends on sunlight.
C. Solar cells require large areas to operate.
D. It is unfriendly to the environment.

I have been to many cities, I know and like best is the one Ĩ am describing to you. The
name of the city is Dalat. I spent three years attending school there. Dalat is located in
the Highlands of Central Vietnam and is about 300 km from HCM City.
It is a very pretty city built on the "Lang Biang" Plateau and is situated in the middle of a
valley which is surrounded by rolling hills and a range of high and rugged mountains.
The city is centered to the west of the beautiful Ho Xuan Huong Lake. For the most part,
the roads in the area are curved and steep Magnificent villas are scattered on both sides
of the roads. We can also find some lovely villas nestled in the pine-woods and others
located far up on the mountains and overlooking the city and valley. The beautiful
mountains, trees and lakes Dalat resemble a city located somewhere in Switzerland and
not belonging to Vietnam.
I think Dalat is a very pretty and enjoyable city. It is a favourite place for tourists and
artists. Artists find Dalat ideal for their work. It offers beautiful scenery for their
inspiration. Other persons find the beauty and solitude of Dalat inspirational for their
writing.

PART D: SPEAKING
Everybody has his or her own hobby. For me, my favorite hobby is reading books.
My father was not only a write but a researcher as well. He had a great collection of
books on many fields: literature, science, art, fiction and non-fiction. After his death, I
inherited the most valuable treasure which has been preserved carefully up to now.
As I have a large collection of books of my own now, I usually spend hours reading and
thinking about facts described in each kind of books. Sitting comfortably in an arm-chair
in library with a book open on my knee, I recall my father who was absorbed in his
reading, Chateaubrian and Lalartine. I still hear his sonorous voice reciting rhythmical
lines of poems in Kim Van Kieu's story while his face was radiant with ecstasy and
raptures.
Through books I see many countries rise and fall. Kings and Presidents pass before my
eyes and I can follow the history of nations. Each book has a story to tell me of remote
countries and strange people.
I am greatly indebted to books indeed. For me, a good is not only a true companion but
also a well- experienced teacher guiding me through my life. It has the miracle to relieve
my suffering and my hardship and reveal to me strange and new horizons.
Reading books broadens my mind and improves my knowledge. Instead of indulging
myself in futile entertainments, I am often keen on reading books which are always a
source of comfort and relief to me and I am determined to preserve my father's valuable
treasure for my posterity.
In a few words, the reading of books contributes to the moral and intellectual formation
of a man's personality.

I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Thanks to the development of modern technology, the idea of an electronic house is no
longer ridiculous. It will be possible to have a house run electronically by computer
technology in the near future. Lights can be turned on and off on a regular schedule. Old
and sick people can be taken care of at home by computers. Many modern machines
contain computer chips, allowing their users to program them. For example, a microwave
oven can be "instructed" to cook a certain dish. The housework will be done by the
dishwasher, the washing machine and dryer, and so on. Most entertainment equipment
will operate with computer technology, too. Some examples are radios, television sets,
CD player, etc. These equipment can be set up to electronically go to certain channels or
stations, or record specific programs at certain times. Indeed, cars can be started
automatically so that on cold winter mornings people can get into a warm vehicle to
drive to work. In short, computers will be widely used from operating the household
equipment to entertaining people.
1. What did people use to think about the idea of an electronic house?
A. clear. B. new. C. silly. D. clever.
2. You can program a/an to make a dish.

I like to go shopping at a supermarket because of the following reasons:
The supermarket is large, comfortable and conveniently-located. It takes me only a few
minutes to walk there from my house. I usually don't have much time for shopping, so I
have to buy things according to a plan, or from a shopping list. At this supermarket I can
buy exactly what I need very quickly because everything is place on open shelves. All I
have to do is (do) choose whatever I want and take it to the check-out counter.
Apart from that, I don't have to bargain over prices before buying, yet I'm never afraid of
being overcharged for anything. Goods are sold at fixed prices and the supermarket
guarantees the things we buy. Should the items become faulty, the supermarket will
either have them replaced or repaired for free.

PART B: READING
I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
English was first written down in the 6th century. At that time, writers had to use the
twenty-three letters of the Latin alphabet to write down what they heard. Because
English has sounds that do not exist in Latin, they added letters to represent the forty-four
sounds of English. This resulted in some irregular spelling. After the Norman invasion of
England in 1066, French became the language spoken by the king and other people in
positions of power and influence. Many French words were introduced and the spelling
of many English words changed to follow French patterns. The result was a rich and
irregular mix of spellings.
The printing press was invented in the 15th century. Many early printers of English texts
spoke other first languages, especially Dutch. They often paid little attention to how
English words were spelled. Sometimes technical decisions were made to give columns
of print straight edges. To do this, letters were taken off the ends of words and
sometimes added to words. With time, people became used to seeing words spelled in
the same way. Fixed spellings were therefore created by the printers' decisions. Spoken
English, however, was not fixed. It continued to change, as it still does. It is no wonder
that English spelling seems irregular. Words such as although, through and cough, for
example, all have the same spelling at the end, but are pronounced differently. Words
such as feet, meat and seize, on the other hand, are spelled differently but have the same
sound in the middle.

A library is an ocean of all kind information; their boundaries continue to extend with
numerous contributions of the endless streams of knowledge. Thus, it has a peculiar
fascination for scholars, and all people who are thirsty for knowledge.
The usefulness of libraries in the spread of knowledge has been proved. Life is so brief
and the field of knowledge is so extensive that even the most avid reader can never
expect to absorb it all. People who have a love for knowledge, therefore, try to master
only a small fraction of it. Even this requires reading of hundreds of books, expensive
and cheap, old and new. But just some of those are able to buy all the books on their
interest. It is therefore necessary for them to visit a good library.

schools and the day of work begins. The city now is full of noise with activities.
Hundreds of tourists, sight-seers and people visit beautiful places of interest while all
businessmen from all parts of the world arrive to transact their business. In evening, day
schools and the offices begin to close. Some shops also close. The city is now full life
for a rush for buses and many kinds of means for transport. Everybody seems to be in a

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1922, the new
boss of NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send
explorers to another planet in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift
carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for
the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the
preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who
promised that in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on
the Moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly
investigated the surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot
match the type of information which can be gained robot may be, it cannot match the
type of information which can be gained from direct human experience. The first
geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the story of the
landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able
to determine the history of this frozen world in any detail.

After high school there are numerous things I want to do and accomplish in my life.
I want to attend college and law school. After I start working for a few years, I plan to
settle down, get married, and have children. I still want to have a career, but I want to
raise a family too. I'm not sure what will happen after this or that even this will take
place because I can't really plan out my life. Life is an unpredictable thing. There are
many obstacles that may get in the way of perusing my goals. Some of the obstacles are
college and law school. It takes a lot of studying, hard work, and determination in
becoming a lawyer. With hard work and determination I plan to accomplish my goals,
whatever they may be, and live up to my full potential.

Independence Day in the United States is observed annually on the Fourth of July. For

Flagstaff, Arizona hosts a huge three-day powwow, including a rodeo for twenty Native
American tribes. The annual Eskimo games with traditional kayak races are held in

hundred-mile stock car event at the Daytona International speedway in Daytona, Florida,
and an annual auto race up the fourteen-thousand-foot precipice at Pike's Peak in
Colorado.
Several small towns celebrate in other unique ways. Hannibal, Missouri, the hometown

Living in a community where there are people of various races could be a rewarding and
an exciting experience. Such a community is like a small world with many types and
races of people in it. Everyone, young or old, enjoys listening to stories about people in
other lands. We read books and newspapers to learn about the habits, customs and
beliefs) of people who do not belong to our race, but when we live in a community
composed of many races, we have the opportunity to meet and talk with people or
various races. We can learn about their customs and beliefs directly from them. For
example, in Singapore and Malaysia, which are known as multiracial countries, Malays,
Chinese, Indians have lived together for several decades. It could therefore be said that
life in a multi-racial community teaches us many useful lessons in human relations.

I. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Interviews are not a perfect method of choosing the best people for jobs; however human
beings like to examine each other in this way. One of the many problems of selection as
it is commonly practiced is that the forms filled by applicants often fall to show people
as they really are. This means that you can follow all the best advice when completing
your from and still find that you are unsuccessful at the next stage- the interview.
Similarly, in the rare cases where interviews are automatic, a candidate with an
inadequate form may do surprisingly well. Of course your form needs to show that you
have confidence in your ability to do the job, but don't try to turn yourself into someone
else - a person you have to pretend to be at the interview. Realism and honesty are the
best approach.

PART D: SPEAKING
One of the most striking features of the present century is the progress of science and its
effects on almost every aspect of social life. Building on the foundation laid by the
predecessors, the scientists of today are carrying their investigation into ever-widening
fields of knowledge.
Modern civilization depends largely on the scientist and inventor. We depend on the
doctor who seeks the cause and cure of disease, the chemist who analyses our food and
purifies our water, the entomologist who wages war on the insect pests, the engineer who
conquers time and space, and a host of other specialists who aid in the development of
agriculture and industry.
The advance of science and technology has brought the diffeient parts of the world into
closer touch with one another than ever before. We are able to reach distant lands within
a very short time.
