Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives
people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their
exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the
morning studying. In the afternoon, they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm,
looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social
Mã đề thi 284 - Trang số : 1
backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A
quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help.
“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young
people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ''You learn to live with people and
respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays, my mother could not believe how
much less I argued with my sister."
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really
seem to work.
Câu 6: What is the writer trying to do in the text?

B. Describe his own experience of education.
C. Describe the activities the students do in their free time.
D. Give an opinion about a particular student.
Câu 7: What does the word "argued" in the third paragraph mean?
A. admired B. respected C. regarded D. quarreled
Câu 8: What can a reader find out from this text?
A. What the British education system is like.
B. What kind of programme Atlantic College offers.
C. How to get along better with other people.
D. How to become a student at Atlantic College.
Câu 9: How has Barbara changed since being at Atlantic College?
A. She prefers her new friends to her family.
B. She knows a lot about other countries.
C. She finds it easier to get on with other people.
D. She is more confident than her sister now.
Câu 10: What is the writer's opinion of Atlantic College?

FUTURE JOBS
The Trump campaign ran on bringing jobs back to American shores, although mechanization has
been the biggest reason for manufacturing jobs' disappearance. Similar losses have led to populist
movements in several other countries. But instead of a pro-job growth future, economists across the board
predict further losses as Al, robotics, and other technologies continue to be ushered in. What is up for
debate is how quickly this is likely to occur.
Now, an expert at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania is ringing the alarm
bells. According to Art Bilger, venture capitalist and board member at the business school, all the
Trang 2/3 - Mã đề: 501
developed nations on earth will see job loss rates of up to 47% within the next 25 years, according to a
recent Oxford study. "No government is prepared," The Economist reports. These include blue and white
collar jobs. So far, the loss has been restricted to the blue collar variety, particularly in manufacturing.
To combat "structural unemployment" and the terrible blow, it is bound to deal the American people,
Bilger has formed a nonprofit called Working Nation, whose mission it is to warn the public and to help
make plans to safeguard them from this worrisome trend. Not only is the entire concept of employment
about to change in a dramatic fashion, the trend is irreversible. The venture capitalist called on
corporations, academia, government, and nonprofits to cooperate in modernizing our workforce.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Clothing is a distinctly human artifact. Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans
from the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a
greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it
serves more than one function.
The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to
move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this
use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates.
However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of
displaying one's status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing
also developed in countries where there is no real practical need for it, apart from the other, very
human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer.
Clothing tells us many things about the wearer. It can be used to indicate whether she is a member
of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a
uniform. It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have
been, literally, the difference between life and death. In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies
by their uniforms. Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of
their country, they are regarded as legitimate members of that country's armed forces.
Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will
have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens
the only ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who does not feel the need to
wear a suit and tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well-dressed. People who wish to impress
others often do so by the selection of their clothes-sometimes by choosing more expensive versions.
This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches
prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material.
Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro-environments to
temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of
undress are being steadily eroded, it is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our
future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species.
Question 35: Clothes are uniquely human because they_________.
A. are artifacts B. have many different functions
C. are made by tools D. are worn when they are unnecessary
Question 36: Which of the following does the author NOT give as a function of clothing?

stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where
they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend",
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better
at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.
Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence

Parents complain that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers say
exactly the same thing about their parents! According to a recent survey, the most common
arguments between parents and teenagers are those regarding untidiness and household
chores. On the one hand, parents go mad over untidy rooms, clothes dropped on the floor
and their children’s refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose
their patience continually when parents tell them off for dropping the towel in the bathroom,
not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The survey, conducted by St George University, showed that different parents have
different approaches to these problems. However, some approaches are much more
successful than others. For example, those parents who yell at their teens for their
untidiness, but later clear up after them, have fewer chances of changing their teens’
behaviour. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the consequences of their
actions are more successful. For instance, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with
the shopping don’t find their favourite food in the fridge, they are forced to reconsider their
actions.

III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 20 to 24.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of
learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people
continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys,
food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their
environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world.
When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also
continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are
likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must
learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding
and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is
important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social
workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's
behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of
workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study
memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later
retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior
and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known
as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by
thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences
(reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform
behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
Question 20. It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians concern themselves
with the study of learning because they need to ______.
A. understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest.
B. change the behaviors of the objects of their interest towards learning.
C. thoroughly understand the behaviors of the objects of their interest.
D. make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning.
Question 21. The word "retrieves" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. generates B. gains C. create D. recovers
Question 22. The passage mainly discusses ______.
A. practical examples of learning inside the classroom. B. simple forms of learning.
C. general principles of learning. D. application of learning principles to formal education.
Question 23. Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the passage?
A. It plays a crucial part in improving the learner's motivation in school.
B. It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.
C. It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions.

correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 29 to 33.
How men first learnt to (29)_______ words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we
really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and
things, so that they could communicate (30)_______ each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called
letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether
spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up
before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain
words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words
that mean something (31)_______ Great writers are those (32)_______ not only have great thoughts but also express

How men first learnt to (29)_______ words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we
really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and
things, so that they could communicate (30)_______ each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called
letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether
spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up
before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain
words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words
that mean something (31)_______ Great writers are those (32)_______ not only have great thoughts but also express
these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is
what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing

VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 38.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of
learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people
continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys,
food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their
environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world.
When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also
continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are
likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must
learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding
and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is
important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social
workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's
behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of
workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study
memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later
retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior
and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known
as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by
thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences
(reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform
behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
Question 34. Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the passage?
A. It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older.
B. It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.
C. It plays a crucial part in improving the learner's motivation in school.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions
Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option chosen by families in
many parts of the world. The homeschooling movement is popular in the United States, where close to
one million children are educated at home. In Canada 1 percent of school-age children are homeschooled,
and the idea also enjoys growing popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their
children. The movement is not limited to these countries. Homeschooling families can be found all over
the world, from Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa.
Homeschooling is not a novel idea. In fact, the idea of sending children to spend most of their day
away from home at a formal school is a relatively new custom. In the United States, for example, it was
not until the latter part of the nineteenth century that state governments began making school attendance
compulsory. Before that, the concept of a formal education was not so widespread. Children learned the
skills they would need for adult life at home from tutors or their parents, through formal instruction or by
working side by side with the adults of the family.
In the modern developed world, where the vast majority of children attend school, families choose
homeschooling for a variety of reasons. For people who live in remote areas, such as the Australian
outback or the Alaskan Wilderness, homeschooling may be their only option. Children who have
exceptional talents in the arts or other areas may be homeschooled so that they have more time to devote
to their special interests. Much of the homeschooling movement is made up of families who, for various
reasons, are dissatisfied with the schools available to them. They may have a differing educational
philosophy, they may be concerned about the safety of the school environment, or they may feel that the
local schools cannot adequately address their children's educational needs. Although most families
continue to choose a traditional classroom education for their children, homeschooling as an alternative
educational option is becoming more popular.
Question 9: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The origin of homeschooling.
B. A new form of school: Homeschooling
C. Homeschooling option: a common form of education all over the world.
D. The reasons why children should be educated at home.

home.
B. Parents or tutors were the ones who taught the children necessary skills in society.
C. People got familiar with school attendance before choosing to learn at home.
D. Before modern times, most students did not attend the school.

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of
body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that
body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is
expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is
true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In
North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North
Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South
Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than
two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or
move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people
all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same
gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that
could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but
in some places it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the
language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate
successfully.
Question 20: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Non-verbal communication across cultures

culture, it is advisable for a person __________.
A. to use the body language of the people from that culture
B. to learn both the language and non-verbal signals of that culture

Đề có 35 câu trắc nghiệm và 15 câu tự luận.
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question:
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward
or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate
and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to
change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their
studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may
not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up”
strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be
unaware that they must extend effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be
disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They
often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work
on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-
achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are
important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks,
ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.
(Source: Adapted from Study Skills: Managing Your Learning — NUI Galway)

A. They depend on other people to organize their learning B. They are slow in their studying
C. They monitor their understanding D. They know the purpose of studying
32. Which of the followings is NOT an evidence of monitoring studying?
A. Being aware of the purpose of studying B. Monitoring their understanding of content
C. Fixing up mistakes in understanding D. Looking at their backs
33. In compared with low-achieving students, successful students use ______.

answer to each of the questions.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their
knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils.
It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both
the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top
grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one
aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not
just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability
teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the
opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope
with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to
communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, they can
do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We
encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively.
An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils
to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little
nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true. The more
you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the
company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they
provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes
perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions.
Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great
opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job. Your
application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills
and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if
you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you
possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15
minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and
ask questions
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how
you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring:
decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the employer within
the specified time.
