PART III: The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Identify and correct the mistakes.
MUSIC
Nobody knows for certainty what the origin of music was. Music is certainly older than poetry and painting
but although early man had no way of recording it, we can only guess what it sounded like. Watch a child
banging on drum with his hands or a piece of wood, it is easy to see that this is the simplest of instruments. It
does not take much effort to produce a rhythm on them.
Wall paintings show how some of the first instrument looked like. Early civilizations had already invented
the three basic ways producing music: blowing into a tube, striking an object, or scraping a string. We know
that Western music comes from the ancient Greeks. The musical scales we use now are based on certain
sequences of notes which the Greeks used to create a particular mood.
Until the sixteenth century, almost players of instruments were performers, but as music became more
widespread, orchestras and musical groups began to appear. This brings up the writing of music to play by
several musicians at one time. This can certainly be called the birth of modern music.

answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes.
Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past
two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest
known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological
diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize
the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it
Kỳ thi khảo sát chất lượng tiếng Anh 10-2019 5
will negatively affect one after another of Earth’s ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine
ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result
is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities,
such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the
variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution.
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth’s history when mass extinctions have occurred. The
extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. There have also
been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion.
Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely
chance that determined which species survived and which died out.
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is
altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is wide agreement
that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to
biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes
have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing
species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in
new environments.

Part 4: Read the following passage about five consultants who given some advice to the graduates and
answer the questions from 41 to 50. The options may be chosen more than once. Write your answers
A, B, C , D or E in the corresponding numbered boxes.

Starting out on your career

Are you a graduate trying to plan out the best career path for yourself? We've asked five careers consultants
to give some tips on how to go about it.

Consultant A
A university degree is no guarantee of a job, and job hunting in itself requires a whole set of skills. If you
find you are not getting past the first interview, ask yourself what is happening. Is it a failure to communicate
or are there some skills you lack? Once you see patterns emerging it will help you decide whether the gaps
you have identified can be filled relatively easily. If you cannot work out what the mismatch is, get back to
the selection panel with more probing questions, and find out what you need to do to bring yourself up to the
level of qualification that would make you more attractive to them: but be careful to make this sound like a
genuine request rather than a challenge or complaint.

Consultant B
Do not be too dispirited if you are turned down for a job, but think about the reasons the employers give.
They often say it is because others are 'better qualified', but they use the term loosely. Those who made the
second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of similar ability level, but they
had something which made them a closer match to the selector's ideal. That could be experience gained
through projects or vacation work, or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could
offer. Do not take the comments at face value: think back to the interviews that generated them and make a
list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of analytical approach you will
eventually get your foot in the door.

Consultant C
Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers may
question your drive and ambition. Of course, it depends where you are aiming. There can be advantages in
moving sideways rather than up, if you want to gain real depth of knowledge. If you are a graduate, spending
five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the experience.

Kỳ thi khảo sát chất lượng tiếng Anh 10-2019 7

However, do not use this as an excuse for apathy. Graduates sometimes fail to take ownership of their careers
and take the initiative. It is up to you to make the most of what's available within a company, and to monitor
your progress in case you need to move on. This applies particularly if you are still not sure where your
career path lies.
Consultant D
It is helpful to think through what kind of experience you need to get your dream job and it is not a problem
to move around to a certain extent. But in the early stages of your career you need a definite strategy for
reaching your goal, so think about that carefully before deciding to move on from your first job. You must
cultivate patience to master any role. There is no guarantee that you will get adequate training, and research
has shown that if you do not receive proper help in a new role, it can take 18 months to master it.

Consultant E
A prospective employer does not want to see that you have changed jobs every six months with no thread
running between them. You need to be able to demonstrate the quality of your experience to a future
employer, and too many moves too quickly can be a bad thing. In any company it takes three to six months
for a new employee to get up to speed with the structure and the culture of the company. From the company's
perspective, they will not receive any return on the investment in your salary until you have been there for 18
months. This is when they begin to get most value from you - you are still fired up and enthusiastic. If you
leave after six months it has not been a good investment - and may make other employers wary.

41. Keep your final objective in mind when you are planning to change jobs.
42. It takes time to become familiar with the characteristics of a company you have joined.
43. You should demonstrate determination to improve your job prospects.
44. Make sure your approach for information is positive in tone.
45. It is not certain that you will be given very much support in your job initially.
46. Stay optimistic in spite of setbacks.
47. Promotion isn't the only way to increase your expertise.
48. Ask for information about your shortcomings.
49. Some information you are given may not give a complete picture.
50. It will be some time before you start giving your employers their money's worth.

41. 42. 43. 44. 45.

Part 5: Read the following article and answer the questions from 51 to 60.

ABSENTEEISM IN NURSING:
A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
Absence from work is a costly and disruptive problem for any organization. The cost of absenteeism in
Australia has been put at 1.8 million hours per day or $1400 million annually. The study reported here was
conducted in the Prince William Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, where, prior to this time, few active steps
had been taken to measure, understand or manage the occurrence of absenteeism.

Nursing Absenteeism

Kỳ thi khảo sát chất lượng tiếng Anh 10-2019 8

A prevalent attitude amongst many nurses in the group selected for study was that there was no reward or
recognition for not utilizing the paid sick leave entitlement allowed them in their employment conditions.
Therefore, they believed they may as well take the days off — sick or otherwise. Similar attitudes have been
noted by James (1989), who noted that sick leave is seen by many workers as a right, like annual holiday
leave.
Miller and Norton (1986), in their survey of 865 nursing personnel, found that 73 percent felt they should be
rewarded for not taking sick leave because some employees always used their sick leave. Further, 67 per cent
of nurses felt that administration was not sympathetic to the problems shift work causes to employees'
personal and social lives. Only 53 percent of the respondents felt that every effort was made to schedule staff
fairly.
In another longitudinal study of nurses working in two Canadian hospitals, Hacket Bycio and Guion
(1989) examined the reasons why nurses took absence from work. The most frequent reason stated for
absence was minor illness to self. Other causes, in decreasing order of frequency, were illness in family,
family social function, work to do at home and bereavement.

Method
In an attempt to reduce the level of absenteeism amongst the 250 Registered an Enrolled Nurses in the
present study, the Prince William management introduced three different, yet potentially complementary,
strategies over 18 months. Strategy 1: Non-financial (material) incentives : Within the established wage and
salary system it was not possible to use hospital funds to support this strategy. However, it was possible to
secure incentives from local businesses, including free passes to entertainment parks, theatres, restaurants,
etc. At the end of each roster period, the ward with the lowest absence rate would win the prize. Strategy
2 Flexible fair rostering: Where possible, staff were given the opportunity to determine their working
schedule within the limits of clinical needs. Strategy 3: Individual absenteeism : and Each month, managers
would analyse the pattern of absence of staff with excessive sick leave (greater than ten days per year for full-
time employees). Characteristic patterns of potential 'voluntary absenteeism' such as absence before and after
days off, excessive weekend and night duty absence and multiple single days off were communicated to all
ward nurses and then, as necessary, followed up by action.
Results
Absence rates for the six months prior to the Incentive scheme ranged from 3.69 per cent to 4.32 per cent. In
the following six months, they ranged between 2.87 percent and 3.96 percent. This represents a 20 percent
improvement. However, analysing the absence rates on a year-to-year basis, the overall absence rate was 3.60
percent in the first year and 3.43 percent in the following year. This represents a 5 percent decrease from the
first to the second year of the study. A significant decrease in absence over the two-year period could not be
demonstrated.
Discussion
The non-financial incentive scheme did appear to assist in controlling absenteeism in the short term. As the
scheme progressed it became harder to secure prizes and this contributed to the program's losing momentum
and finally ceasing. There were mixed results across wards as well. For example, in wards with staff
members who had a long-term genuine illness, there was little chance of winning, and to some extent, the
staffs on those wards were disempowered. Our experience would suggest that the long-term effects of
incentive awards on absenteeism are questionable.
Over the time of the study, staff were given a larger degree of control in their rosters. This led to significant
improvements in communication between managers and staff. A similar effect was found from the
implementation of the third strategy. Many of the nurses had not realised the impact their behaviour was
having on the organisation and their colleagues but there were also staff members who felt that talking to

Kỳ thi khảo sát chất lượng tiếng Anh 10-2019 9

them about their absenteeism was 'picking' on them and this usually had a negative effect on management—
employee relationships.

Conclusion
Although there has been some decrease in absence rates, no single strategy or combination of strategies has
had a significant impact on absenteeism per se. Notwithstanding the disappointing results, it is our contention
that the strategies were not in vain. A shared ownership of absenteeism and a collaborative approach to
problem solving has facilitated improved cooperation and communication between management and staff. It
is our belief that this improvement alone, while not tangibly measurable, has increased the ability of
management to manage the effects of absenteeism more effectively since this study.
