A. PHÁT ÂM
Cách làm bài tập chọn từ có phần gạch chân được phát âm khác so với các từ còn lại
- Chọn đọc 3/4 từ có trong các đáp án A, B, C, D. Tuy nhiên, không cần đọc lần lượt từ đáp
án A đến D mà nên chọn đọc những từ mình chắc nhất về cách phát âm.
- Sau mỗi từ được phát âm, cẩn thận ghi xuống âm của phần gạch chân trong mỗi từ.
- Chọn đáp án có phần gạch được phát âm khác so với các từ còn lại.
Ví dụ 1:
A. land /lænd/ B. sandy /’sændi/
C. many /’meni/ D. candy /’kændi/
=> Ta thấy phần gạch chân của các đáp án A, B, D được phát âm là /æ/, đáp án C có phần
gạch chân được phát âm là /e/.
Do đó, đáp án là C.
* Cách phát âm của đuôi -s
“-s” được phát âm là:
+ /s/: khi âm tận cùng trước -s là /p/, k/, /f/, /θ/, /t/.
+ /ɪz/: khi trước -s là: ch, sh, ss, x, ge, ce, se.
+ /z/: khi âm tận cùng trước -s là nguyên âm và các phụ âm còn lại.
Ví dụ 2:
A. listens /'lɪsnz/ B. reviews /rɪ'vju:z/
C. protects /prə'tekts/ D. enjoys /ɪn'dʒɔɪz/
=> Phần được gạch chân ở câu C được phát âm là /s/, còn lại được phát âm là /z/.
Do đó, đáp án là C.
* Cách phát âm của đuôi -ed
“- ed” được phát âm là:
+ /t/: khi âm tận cùng trước -ed là /s/, /tʃ/, /ʃ/, /k/, /p/, /f/.
+ /id/: khi trước -ed là /t/ và /d/.
+ /d/: khi âm tận cùng trước -ed là nguyên âm và các phụ âm còn lại.
Ví dụ 3:
A. toured /tʊrd/ B. jumped /dʒʌmpt/
C. solved /sɒlvd/ D. rained /reɪnd/
=> Câu B “-ed” được phát âm là /t/, các đáp án còn lại “-ed” được phát âm là /d/.
Do đó, đáp án là B.

B. TRỌNG ÂM
Các quy tắc đánh trọng âm
1. Trọng âm theo phiên âm
- Trọng âm không bao giờ rơi vào âm /ə/ hoặc là âm /əʊ/. Nếu như trong một từ có chứa cả
hai loại âm là /ə/ và /əʊ/ thì trọng âm rơi vào phần có chứa âm /əʊ/.
Ví dụ 4:
+ mother /’mʌðə/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất vì âm thứ 2 có chứa âm /ə/.
+ hotel /həʊ’tɛl/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai vì âm thứ nhất có chứa âm /əʊ/.
+ suppose /sə’pəʊz/: trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai.
- Trọng âm thường rơi vào nguyên âm dài hoặc nguyên âm đôi hoặc âm cuối kết thúc với
nhiều hơn một phụ âm.
Ví dụ 5:
+ disease /dɪ'ziːz/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2 vì âm thứ 2 có chứa nguyên âm
dài /iː/.
+ explain /ɪk'spleɪn/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2 vì âm thứ 2 có chứa nguyên âm
đôi /eɪ/.
+ comprehend /kɒmprɪ' hɛnd/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 3 vì âm thứ 3 kết thúc
với 2 phụ âm /nd/.
- Nếu tất cả các âm mà ngắn hết thì trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
Ví dụ 6:
+ happy /’hæpi/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết đầu, vì cả /æ/ và /i/ đều là nguyên âm
ngắn.
2. Trọng âm với hậu tố/ đuôi
a. Hậu tố/ đuôi nhận trọng âm
-eer, -ee, -oo, -oon, -ese, -ette, - esque, - ade, - mental, - nental, - ain
b. Hậu tố/ đuôi làm trọng âm rơi vào trước âm đó
- ion, - ic, - ial, - ive, - ible, - ity, - graphy, - ious/eous, - ish, -ian
c. Hậu tố/ đuôi làm trọng âm dịch chuyển ba âm tính từ cuối lên
-y, - ce, -ate, - ise/ ize, - ism/ izm
d. Hậu tố không ảnh hưởng đến trọng âm của từ
-ful, - er, - or, - ist, - ous, - ly, - hood, - ship, - ment, - al, - less, - ness, - age, - ure,- ledge,-
ing, - ed, - able, - dom, -some, - ent/ -ant. . .

1. CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI

Công thức: S + V + ………, trợ từ + S?
- Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là câu khẳng định, câu hỏi đuôi phải ở thể phủ định (viết tắt).
- Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là câu phủ định, câu hỏi đuôi phải ở thể khẳng định.
* Lưu ý:
- Câu hỏi đuôi của “I am” là “aren’t I”.
- Câu hỏi đuôi của “Let’s” là “Shall we”.
- Let trong câu xin phép (let us/ let me) thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi sẽ dùng “will you”.
- Let trong câu đề nghị giúp người khác (let me) thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi sẽ dùng “may I”.
- Chủ ngữ là “Everyone/ Everybody, Someone/ Somebody, Anyone/ Anybody, No one/
Nobody,...” câu hỏi đuôi là “they”.
- Chủ ngữ là “nothing, everything, something, anything” thì câu hỏi đuôi dùng “it”.
- Trong câu có các trạng từ phủ định và bán phủ định như: never, seldom, hardly, scarcely,
little,... thì câu đó được xem như là câu phủ định - phần hỏi đuôi sẽ ở dạng khẳng định.
- Khi thấy had/’d better ta chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ “had” để lập câu hỏi đuôi.
- Khi thấy would/’d rather ta chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ “would” để lập câu hỏi đuôi.
- Câu đầu có It seems that + mệnh đề thì ta lấy mệnh đề làm câu hỏi đuôi.
- Chủ từ là mệnh đề danh từ, dùng “it” trong câu hỏi đuôi.
- Sau câu mệnh lệnh cách (Do.../ Don’t do v.v...), câu hỏi đuôi thường là ... will you?
- Câu đầu là I wish, dùng “may” trong câu hỏi đuôi.
- Chủ từ là ONE, dùng you hoặc one trong câu hỏi đuôi.
- Câu đầu có MUST, must có nhiều cách dùng cho nên tùy theo cách dùng mà sẽ có câu hỏi
đuôi khác nhau:
+ Must chỉ sự cần thiết thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi ta dùng “needn’t”.
+ Must chỉ sự cấm đoán thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi ta dùng “must”.
+ Must chỉ sự dự đoán ở hiện tại thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi ta dựa vào động từ theo
sau “must”.
+ Must chỉ sự dự đoán ở quá khứ (trong công thức must + have + Vp2) thì khi thành lập hỏi
đuôi ta dùng “have/ has” căn cứ theo chủ ngữ của câu.
- Câu cảm thán, lấy danh từ trong câu đổi thành đại từ cùng với dùng is, am, are.
- Câu đâu có I + các động từ sau: think, believe, suppose, figure, assume, fancy, imagine,
reckon, expect, seem, feel that + mệnh đề phụ:
+ Lấy mệnh đề phụ làm câu hỏi đuôi. Nếu mệnh đề chính có “not” thì vẫn tính như ở mệnh
đề phụ.
+ Cùng mẫu này nhưng nếu chủ từ không phải là “I” thì lại dùng mệnh đề chính đầu làm câu
hỏi đuôi.
- Câu có cấu trúc neither... nor thì câu hỏi đuôi là sẽ chia ở số nhiều.
- Câu có ought to thì ta sử dụng phần đuôi là shouldn’t.
- NEED vừa làm động từ thường, vừa làm động từ khuyết thiếu, nên:
+ Nếu need là động từ thường thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi ta phải mượn trợ động từ.
+ Nếu need là động từ khuyết thiếu thì khi thành lập hỏi đuôi ta dùng luôn need.

A few months ago, a group of scientists warned about the rise of “extinction denial,” an
effort much like climate denial to mischaracterize the extinction crisis and suggest that
human activity isn't really having a damaging effect on ecosystems and the whole planet.
That damaging effect is, in reality, impossible to deny.
This past year, scientists and conservation organizations declared that a long list of
species may have gone extinct, including dozens of frogs, orchids and fish. Most of these
species haven’t been seen in decades, despite frequent and regular expeditions to find out
if they still exist. The causes of these extinctions range from diseases to invasive species to
habitat loss, but most boil down to human behavior.
Page 175
One of the first papers of 2020 to report any extinction announced the probable loss of 17
percent of Bangladesh’s 187 known orchid species. Some of these still exist in other
countries, but even regional extinctions (or extirpations, as they're called) tell us that we’ve
taken a toll on our ecological habitats. A similar paper published just days later suggested that
nine more orchid species from Madagascar may have also gone extinct.
One of the few extinctions of 2020 received much media attention, and it’s easy to see
why. Handfish are an unusual group of species whose front fins look somewhat like human
appendages, which they use to walk around the ocean floor. The smooth species, which
hasn’t been seen since 1802, lived off the coast of Tasmania and was probably common when
it was first collected by naturalists. Bottom fishing, pollution, habitat destruction, bycatch and
other threats are all listed as among the probable reasons for its extinction. Even though the
local fishery collapsed more than 50 years ago, the remaining handfish species are still
critically endangered, so this extinction should serve as an important wake-up call to save
them.
Question 31: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Human activities are not the primary cause of species extinction.
B. Myriad flora and fauna species may have become extinction recently.
C. The negative effects of extinction crisis are increasing.
D. Plants are more vulnerable than animals.
Question 32: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. expeditions B. decades C. species D. scientists
Question 33: Which of the following is TRUE?
A. It's likely to find the extinct orchid species beyond the borders of Bangladesh.
B. Deforestation may cause some diseases to kill the invasive species.
C. The price for our modern society is the increasing loss in ecological habitats.
D. Bottom fishing and accidental entrapment only affect big marine species.
Question 34: According to the last paragraph, handfish _______.
A. are raised for recreation. B. resemble human’s ancestor.
C. are threatened by naturalists D. live on the seabed.
Question 35: The word “collapsed'' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______
A. closed down B. gave up C. put off D. took over
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
When I was a teenager playing Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, I definitely wasn't
looking to learn things. But with 11 main AC games all set during different times and places
in history - like ancient Egypt, Greece, and America during the Revolutionary War - I
was bound to learn something, even if just by accident. And I definitely did.
One day, my history teacher passed out blank maps of the Caribbean. It was a quiz I had
forgotten about. We had to label countries and major cities. Luckily, I'd been playing a lot of
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy in the early
18th century. So I was able to draw on my life as a pirate to fill in the map, and I got an A.
When I was seven, I learned to multiply quickly through a purely educational game
called Treasure Mountain!, which had me solving math problems to progress up a mountain
and collect treasure in a never-ending loop. And then, of course, there was Assassin's Creed.
Ubisoft leaned into AC's educational potential, with very cool results. They did a lot of
research to recreate Ancient Egypt in AC: Origins and Ancient Greece in AC: Odyssey, and
they released an educational discovery tour for each game that lets you look around the
environment with no violence, enemies, or time constraints. You can learn about the Olympic
Games, and how Sparta trained its soldiers in ancient Greece, with real historical figures
acting as your tour guides. Or jump over to ancient Egypt to check out mummies and climb
on the pyramids.
Page 176
Obviously, Assassin's Creed can't teach you everything you need to know about the
ancient world - but the games do make that world come alive for people who are reluctant to
learn, like I was.
If you're looking for some other options, Minecraft is incredibly popular with kids of any
age. Minecraft: Education Edition is free for everybody with a student email until at least
June 30, and features over 500 pre-made lesson plans for things like coding, history, English,
and much more. For example, there is a lesson plan on how to write clear instructions for in-
game actions, and another that lets kids learn about slopes by building a roller coaster.
Question 36: Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Relaxation choices after studying. B. Propaganda for online gaming.

It appears that WHO played a critically important, though imperfect, role in responding
to the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China. Under the IHR, member countries are
required to report potential PHEICs occurring in their territories within 24 hours following
initial detection.
Historically, however, countries have been reluctant to comply with the IHR’s reporting
requirement, partly because it might expose them to unwanted economic sanctions. Chinese
authorities faced this dilemma as they mulled over the question of spotlighting the potentially
grave public health situation in Wuhan. Against this backdrop, WHO’s detection of the local
health commission’s notice on December 31, 2019, along with its immediate request to gain
further information, augmented the strategic situation facing Chinese authorities to encourage
disclosure.
Page 180
Since late January 2020, WHO’s response to the COVID-19 crisis has suffered a number
of institutional missteps. The agency came under fire for issuing contradictory statements on
precautionary health topics, such as “human- to-human transmissibility” and “asymptomatic
spread.” It has also been criticized for being slow to adapt its official position on face masks
in light of emerging scientific evidence. WHO also arguably erred in choosing to delay
formal declaration of a global public health emergency by at least one week.
For all of its institutional successes and shortfalls, WHO nonetheless continues to
contribute powerfully and positively to the pandemic response effort. To date, the
organization has raised over $200 million through its Solidarity Response Fund to combat the
COVID-19 crisis, and has otherwise shipped millions of items of personal protective
equipment (PPE) to healthcare personnel in over 100 countries. WHO has also exercised its
norm-creating power to provide member countries with comprehensive guidance
documentation on the pandemic. It has additionally played a significant role in coordinating
the global search for vaccines and other medical treatments.

For many hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, online networking has
become enmeshed in our daily lives. However, it is a decades-old insight from a study of
traditional social networks that best illuminates one of the most important aspects of today’s
online networking. In 1973, sociologist Mark Granovetter showed how the loose
acquaintances, or “weak ties”, in our social network exert a disproportionate influence over
our behaviour and choices. Granovetter's research showed that a significant percentage of
people get their jobs as a result of recommendations or advice provided by a weak tie. Today
our number of weak-tie contacts has exploded via online social networking. “You couldn't
maintain all of those weak ties on your own”, says Jennifer Golbeck of the University of
Maryland. “Online sites, such as Facebook, give you a way of cataloguing them”. The result?
Page 181
It's now significantly easier for the schoolfriend you haven’t seen in years to pass you a tip
that alters your behaviour, from recommendation of a low-cholesterol breakfast cereal to a
party invite where you meet your future wife or husband.
The explosion of weak ties could have profound consequences for our social structures
too, according to Judith Donath of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard
University. “We're already seeing changes”, she says. For example, many people now turn to
their online social networks ahead of sources such as newspapers and television for trusted
and relevant news or information. What they hear could well be inaccurate, but the change is
happening nonetheless. If these huge “supernets” - some of them numbering up to 5,000
people - continue to thrive and grow, they could fundamentally change the way we share
information and transform our notions of relationships.
But are these vast networks really that relevant to us on a personal level? Robin
Dunbar, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Oxford, believes that our primate
brains place a cap on the number of genuine social relationships we can actually cope with:
roughly 150. According to Dunbar, online social networking appears to be very good for
“servicing” relationships, but not for establishing them. He argues that our evolutionary roots
mean we still depend heavily on physical and face-to-face contact to be able to create ties.
Online social networking may also have tangible effects on our well-being. Nicole
Ellison of Michigan State University found that the frequency of networking site use
correlates with greater self-esteem. Support and affirmation from the weak ties could be the
explanation, say Ellison. “Asking your close friends for help or advice is nothing new, but we
are seeing a lower of barriers among acquaintances”, she says. People are readily sharing
personal feelings and experiences to a wider circle than they might once have done. Sandy
Pentland at Massachusetts Institute of Technology agrees. “The ability to broadcast to our
social group means we need never feel alone”.

The adorable clone, named Elizabeth Ann, is a species of black-footed ferret, one of the
most endangered mammals in North America, according to the World Wildlife Fund for
Nature. Born on Dec. 10, 2020, Elizabeth Ann was created using cells from “Willa,” a wild
black-footed ferret who died and had her cells cryopreserved in 1988, according to a
statement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which was involved in the
cloning.
Page 185
The feat marks the first time an endangered species in the U.S. has been cloned, the
statement said. “It was a commitment to seeing this species survive that has led to the
successful birth of Elizabeth Ann,” Ryan Phelan, executive director of Revive & Restore, a
conservation organization that was involved with the cloning, said in the statement. “To see
her now thriving ushers in a new era for her species and for conservation-dependent species
everywhere.”
Black-footed ferrets were once thought to be extinct, but scientists found a small
population in 1981, which allowed conservationists to start captive breeding programs for the
species. About 250 to 350 of the ferrets live in captivity, and 300 more live in reintroduction
sites in the wild, according to Revive & Restore. But the limited genetic diversity of the
species has challenged its recovery, making the creatures prone to health disorders and
certain infections, the Times reported.
Since Willa was not one of the “seven founders” of the population, her genes - which
are now possessed by Elizabeth Ann - could bring much-needed variation to the population's
genetics.
Several other endangered animals have been cloned in other parts of the world,
including gaur, or wild cattle, in 2001, bucardo, or wild goats, in 2009, and wild coyotes in
2012, according to Scientific American.

Once your child is born, they start learning motor skills, language skills, cognitive
skills, and emotional skills.
Regarding motor skills, it is largely the family’s responsibility for teaching these skills.
Even if your child is in daycare, the work that parents put in at home to teach these skills is
much more effective than in the few hours your child is under someone else's care. Your
child will learn how to sit up, walk, run, climb, hold a spoon and so on. These seem quite
natural to us as adults, but they are skills that have to be fine-tuned at a very young age, and
they also reinforce your child’s independence which is essential for their development.
Language skills are another essential component of the role of family in child
development. If you do not speak to your child and teach them your language, they will never
learn. One infamous example of this occurring is with Genie, a child who was locked in a
Page 186
dark room with extremely little human contact until she was rescued at age 13. She was never
able to develop language fluency because it was never taught to her. So, teaching your
children language skills from a young age is also essential to child development.
Another skill that is very important for child development is emotion. Emotional skills
are important throughout your child's entire life as they teach them when to have sympathy
and compassion for others as well as teach them how to deal with the highs and lows that
come with life. If your child does not have proper emotional skills, they will not be able to
deal with bad outcomes. If they lack emotional skills, it could lead to destructive choices
when they are older.
To help develop your child's emotional skills, teaching them to smile and wave when
they are babies is a good place to start. When they get a bit older, teaching them to share is
very important. In a family, because there are multiple people, the family can be very helpful
in developing a child's skills with the multiple perspectives. To bring this more to
foundational building blocks, while your child is very young, something very helpful for
family members to do is to teach children basic emotions. When a child is feeling a certain
way, naming emotions and describing them are important ways for your child to understand
how they are feeling. Once this foundation is set, children can learn how to respond to their
feelings and move forward.

For years, charities across the globe have been encouraging students to join their
volunteering programmes to help make a difference in the world. Volunteers are an integral
Page 190
part of any charitable organization; without them, there would be no charity. Not only can
volunteering benefit a wealth of causes, but it can also boost a student's prospects once they
head out into the working world.
Volunteering can be a humbling experience, allowing you to see the world in a different
way. Whether you agree to volunteer for a number of consecutive months or a day a week,
the impact you have could be life-changing. There's also a strong sense of achievement and
pride that comes with generously giving up your time for a worthy cause.
When it comes to volunteering, there are countless opportunities at home or away. Many
students choose to volunteer abroad to experience a new culture and learn more about other
countries. It can be a wonderful way to experience another country, with support and
guidance during the stay from the organizations. Volunteering overseas involves more group-
based work than volunteering at home. It also gives students the opportunity to get away from
studies and work responsibilities.
At home, opportunities are likely to be helping with youth clubs, childcare support,
medical support or charity shops. Working for a cause while at home will allow for flexibility
around a student's timetable, they may be able to give up some of their spare time at the
weekend or a few hours in the evening.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Translators and interpreters for tech jobs of the future are expected to be one of the
fastest growing occupations in the nation, according to a just released survey by
Vietnamworks. Almost all positions for programmers, application developers, database and
network administrators, engineers, designers, architects, scientists, technicians, and tech
support will require bilingual or multilingual fluency.
In just the last two years the demand for tech professionals with foreign language skills
has increased more than two and one-half fold, said the survey, and the uptick shows no signs
of abating anytime soon. Roughly 400,000 jobs are expected to open for interpreters (who
focus on spoken language) and translators (who focus on written language) in the tech
Page 191
segment, between 2017 and 2020, says Tran Anh Tuan. Tuan, who works for the Centre for
Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labour Market Information in Ho Chi Minh City doesn’t
include other industries in his prediction, which are also recruiting ferociously for more
people with these same language skills.
While that claim might seem a bit overblown (and amounts to little more than a guess
by Tuan), it is clear that innovative technologies like robotics, 3D printing, drones, artificial
intelligence and virtual reality will create major upheavals in all sorts of labour markets, not
just technology over the next few years. In the last month alone, most every job posted on
employment websites throughout Vietnam included the word bilingual. Far higher salaries go
to people who work in high tech positions and can speak a foreign language such as English
in addition to Vietnamese, says Tran Quang Anh from the Posts and Telecommunications
Institute of Technology.
Unfortunately, the surveys show that most graduating Vietnamese students are unable
to do more than understand a few basic phrases of foreign languages, and practically none
of them can speak any foreign language coherently. The good paying jobs with high salaries
and benefits are only available to translators and interpreters who specialize in high tech jobs,
says Anh. But it’s not just English - graduates are needed with fluency in middle eastern
languages like Arabic, Farsi and Pashto (Afghani) as well as German, Japanese and Korean to
name just a few. Spanish is also in high demand in Vietnam, primarily because it is the
second most common language in the US after English.
A recent tech expo in Hanoi sponsored by Vietnamworks and the Navigos Group
attracted nearly 4,000 young tech graduates and recruiters from 14 leading companies
looking to fill job vacancies with skilled bilingual workers. The job applicants were young
and industrious, said the recruiters. However, missing were candidates with
the requisite language skills and most lacked basic ‘soft skills’ such as written and verbal
communication abilities to effectively communicate even in their native Vietnamese
language.
Notably, the recruiters said they considered language abilities and soft skills just as, if
not more important, than academic ability. Yet virtually all the prospective academically
qualified employees lacked even the most basic of interpersonal communication abilities.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D to indicate the correct answer
It is hard to argue that the actual contribution to development amounts to a great deal
directly. Whilst volunteer tourists can get involved in building homes or schools, they have
usually paid a significant fee for the opportunity to be involved in this work: money that, if
donated to a local community directly, could potentially pay for a greater amount of labor
than the individual volunteer could ever hope to provide. This is especially so in the case of
gap years, in which the level of technical skill or professional experience required of
volunteers is negligible. Hence, it is unsurprising that many academic studies allude to the
moral issue of whether gap year volunteering is principally motivated by altruism - a desire to
benefit the society visited - or whether young people aim to generate “cultural capital” which
Page 197
benefits them in their careers. However, the projects may play a role in developing people
who will, in the course of their careers and lives, act ethically in favor of those less well-off.
Volunteering may lead to greater international understanding; enhanced ability to solve
conflicts; widespread and democratic participation in global affairs through global civic
society organizations; and growth of international social networks among ordinary people. In
this scenario, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, an outcome where benefits accrue
to volunteers and host communities, and contribute to the global greater good. However, if
volunteering is largely limited to individuals of means from wealthier areas of the world, it
may give these privileged volunteers an international perspective, and a career boost, but it
will do little for people and communities who currently lack access to international voluntary
work. Those who volunteer will continue to reap its benefits, using host organizations and
host communities as a rung on the ladder of personal advancement.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
Being bullied in school is not “part of growing up” or just a “rite of passage.” Some
children who endure bullying never get over the fear and the humiliation, according to Mr.
Barone. By working together, schools and parents can make going to school an experience
that students will enjoy, not dread.
Students who are the victims of bullies and school officials who hold the power to stop
them have very different perceptions of the problem. This difference has hindered effective
prevention efforts. Bullying is a situation when a student or group of students is mean to you
over a long period of time (weeks or even months). Bullying can either be physical (hitting,
kicking, and so on) or it can be verbal (threats, name calling, gossiping, or ignoring). Using
this definition, the school staff member were asked to estimate the percentage of the students
in their schools who had been victimized by bullying. On average, the staff member believed
that 16% of the students had been victims of bullies. The students in the same schools were
asked whether they had ever been bothered by a bully or bullies while you were in middle
school. And 58.8 % of the students surveyed said that they had. The size of the difference in
perceptions between students and school staff members suggests that the staff members do
not recognize the extent of the bullying that students face. Bullying just does not seem to be
“that big a problem” to the staff.
The same survey uncovered some interesting facts. Contrary to what many of us
believe, bullying in school does not primarily involve boys. Popular portrayals, such as The
Lord of the Flies and the Lords of Discipline, which depict only boys as both the bullies and
the victims, do not reflect reality. As shown in this study, only 47% of the victims of bullying
Page 198
in middle school are boys. Thus, according to the students’ own perceptions, the majority
(53%) of the victims of bullies are girls. Not surprisingly, the bullying that takes place among
boys tends to be more physical (punching, kicking, pushing, and so on) than that which takes
place among girls (which is usually more verbal in nature). Among the students who said that
the bullying they had experienced was mostly physical, 89.3% were boys. Among those
students who said that the bullying they experienced was mostly verbal, 67.1% were girls).
Among all students surveyed, 10% indicated that they had been physically injured by a
bullying in school. Furthermore, the nature of the injuries ranged from minor bumps and
bruises to some injuries that required hospitalization. Of those students who said they had
been injured by a bully, 76.5% were boys.
