The Organisation for Educational Development co-operated with Spring School to set up
English classes in 1998. Dance, theatre, singing and folk music classes were set up a year later.
Children from these classes participate in fundraising performances. They raise money to
continue their English and performance Arts classes.
Spring School requires volunteers to help organize their fundraising dinner held annually in
June. This is an exciting night in which children dance, sing and play music at one of the largest
hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. They also need foreign volunteers to contact sponsors and help to
expand the school activities. Volunteers are required from February until July to help organize
these events.
It is hope that more schools like Spring School will soon be found in other cities in Vietnam.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for

A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is a competition between people, largely on the (21)

to the Miss America pageant, first held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1921, under the title
'Inter-City Beauty' contest. The following year the title was (22) as Miss
America. Other contests include the yearly Miss World competition and Miss Universe, which
are the two largest and most famous (23) beauty contests.
Women from around the world (24) in the competition for these titles. To be
selected as Miss World or Miss Universe, a contestant must be celibate or single. If a Miss
WorId fails to live up to people's expectations, she may be disqualified. The organizers of the

event of no great importance.
In an early survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the earth. Now, the
population is about six billion and is growing fast. Even though the rate of growth has begun
to slow down, most people believe the population size may be eight billion during the next
several years.
If we examine the amount of land available for this ever increasing population, we begin to see
the problem. Not all land is useful to us because it cannot produce food. We can cut out about
one fifth of it because it is covered by snow and ice. Then we can cut out another fifth because
it is desert. Another fifth is mountains. The other fifth does not have enough soil for crops to
grow because it is bare rock. Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should take great
care not to reduce it any more or with the rapidly growing population we may sooner or later
lack food to eat and place to live in.
b. is still growing
c. is decreasing rapidly
