Huong is telling us about her most embarrassing experience in her life. Read the passage and answer the

My most embarrassing experience happened two years ago, when I had to take a history exam.
I hadn’t revised for the exam very well. So I couldn’t answer two of the three questions in the test paper. I
didn’t want to get a bad mark, so I tried to think of doing something. The boy sitting next to me seemed to know
the lesson very well. He kept writing without looking up or looking at me. I decided not to say a word to him but
just copy his answer. I had finished copying the answer to the first question and was going to copy the second
question’s answer when suddenly I heard the teacher’s voice at my back. He made me stop writing and leave the
examination room. Everyone in the room looked at me. I was so ashamed that I wished there had been a hole on
the floor so that I could escape into it. I had to take the history exam again that year.
The experience taught me a lesson. Since then, I have studied harder and always prepared for exams more
carefully.

III. Reading (2ps)

Nam is telling us about his most embarrassing experience in his life. Read the passage and answer the
following questions below.
My most memorable experience happened three years ago. When I started upper-secondary school.
 The school was farther from my house than the junior school. So I wanted my parents to buy a new bicycle
for me though I knew they couldn’t afford it. When my father said they couldn’t buy the bicycle right away and
asked me to wait for a news months for them to save enough money, I was disapointed and got angry with them.
I though they didn’t love me much. So I decided to leave home. I came to my friend’s house, but I couldn’t stay
there long. I soon realised that no place was better than home. So after two days, I returned home. Looking at
my parents, I knew how they had been worried about me. For two days, they hadn’t slept or eaten anything but
just looked for me every where. Much to my regret, I told myself never to do that again to my parents.
The experience helped me understand how much my parents love me, and they are the people who care most
about me. I’ll never do anything to make my parents unhappy.
