Viet Nam's Past Educational System
In comparison with other developing countries, Viet Nam’s population enjoys a relatively high
standard of education. In the past, Viet Nam’s educational system was affected by many cultures, of which
the Chinese and French had most significant influence.
The Imperial Academy - the first university in Viet Nam - was built in 1076 under Emperor Ly Nhan
Tong for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials. In 1252, the college was opened
to students from various backgrounds besides royal or official ones.
Before the French came, the old-type Mandarin system administered Viet Nam for approximately 2,000
years. As the French took over the government’s administration, it was converted from a Confucian system
into a Western-oriented one.
In order to participate in the civil service under the French rule, the Vietnamese had to convert to the
French system and were required to know the French language. In addition, they had to have a good facility
with the new version of their language instead of the traditional Chinese characters which had been in use
for hundreds of years.
At the beginning of 1900, the whole system was revised. An educational system of three levels was
established: elementary, primary, and secondary education. In addition, the use of the national language
(Quoc Ngu) was added to the curriculum. Emphasis was placed on rote learning, class discipline and other
French educational methods. Several new schools and colleges were established. Accordingly, French
became the second language of much importance to the students.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally,
the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations
can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child.

large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston, Michael's friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and
they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is

A Mission to Mars
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there
is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as
the mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those
chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.

living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that aloe
them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to
deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people
back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-
time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and mars takes about 20
minutes.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until
the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as
Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread
around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonisation, and missionary work.
Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As
these communities proliferated. English gradually became the primary language of international business,
banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two-
thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology,
advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million
English users in the world, and over half of these are normative speakers, constituting the largest number of
normative users than any other language in the world.

It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school. British

and try to help them make up their minds. Mr Hemming, a career teacher as well as a History teacher, talks
about his experience.
‘I’ve been a careers teacher for around five years and, on the whole, I’ve found it a rewarding experience.
Our students have careers lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 and 16 years old). My
task consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the
type of work and personal skills involved.
Advising teenagers can be rather difficult – some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to
do, or of what the real world outside school really is. They come to me and say ‘I don’t like routine nine-to-
five jobs… I’d like something exciting that pays well…’ What can I say? That we’re running out of exciting
jobs? But they usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a while…
Anyway here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know about their
favourite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are happening so quickly
around here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you just don’t know what to say. A few days
ago I asked a fifteen- year-old boy what job he had in mind and he replied ‘I haven’t any plans… You see,
Sir, I don’t know what new jobs will replace today’s’. What could I say?

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the assignment.
Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about what
is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to
remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment
should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have libraries
that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get
done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the s
that follow.
Every year, the average temperature of the Earth's surface gets a little bit warmer. This gradual trend is
called global warming. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is something to be very
concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in many
devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct. They could melt
enough polar ice to cause the levels of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also change. There might be
more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human diseases could spread.
What is causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories and cars add
toxic gases to the air. These gases rise to the Earth's atmosphere. As the sun's rays warm the Earth, the gases
work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the atmosphere and make the Earth
grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed "greenhouse gases. "
It is our responsibility to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with serious
consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!

A. weather patterns changing B. plants and animals becoming extinct

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to
study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time. You
will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the
language if you are with other people. At home, it is always possible to speak Vietnamese if you want to and the learning
is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big changes to
your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of
living in the UK. If you have a good teacher, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain
without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in
the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being at home is the only viable option. The most important thing
to do in this situation is to maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever
possible outside the class.
18. What is probably the topic of the passage?
A. English schools in England and America B. How many people learn English

A. You will have to speak English and not your language. B. There are very good teachers of English there.
C. There are no Vietnamese people in Britain. D. The language schools in the UK are always better.
20. What is one of the advantages of staying at home to learn English?
A. You can concentrate on learning English only. B. You have to work too hard to make money in Britain.
C. Your life can continue more or less as it was before. D. The teachers aren’t very good in Britain.
21. The underlined word viable in the passage probably means _____.
A. careful B. understandable C. important D. possible
