Dear Jenny,
It's great to learn that you have been granted a scholarship to study at Queens' College, a prestigious
part of Cambridge University, and that you will be able to pursue your dream of becoming a biologist.
Congrats!
I have been accepted to the maths class at Ha Noi High School - one of the best schools in Ha Noi. I
love maths and I hope to become a mathematician one day. I know the route ahead is not smooth
because I will have to take courses in maths, physics, and even in computing. My dad said I need not
only a bachelor's degree, but ideally a doctoral one if I want to get a good job. I would love to work at
the Institute of Mathematics like my dad because, due to his work at the institute, he has also been
invited to teach in several universities in France. Alternatively, I can choose applied mathematics and
work in finance for an international company. Moreover, my mother said I also need soft skills like
teamwork skills, interpersonal skills, and communication skills to do either of those jobs. Luckily, my
new school provides many extracurricular classes which I can take part in to relax and to pick up
those skills.
Anyway, there is plenty of time for me to make detailed plans. I've decided to take a break for a while.
Wish you were here to go with me to Da Nang. Duong

E. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answer for each of the questions

We need to eat to meet our nutritional needs, but people often make their food choices for reasons
other than nutrition. The availability of foods and their cost, the taste and appearance of foods,
personal food likes and dislikes, convenience, religious and cultural practices and traditions, health
and medical conditions, etc. are reasons why people eat the foods that they eat.
The foods in people’s diets around the world are very different from each other, but all good diets
must be composed of a variety of different foods that provide all of the food energy and other
nutrients in the amounts needed. For most people, a good meal will be based on a starchy food,
sometimes referred to as a “staple” food, as it forms the basis or main portion of the meal, and a
variety of other foods (side dishes) that provide the additional protein, vitamins and minerals needed
for a good, healthy diet.
Staple foods are usually starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, bread, couscous, maize (corn),
potatoes, and foods made from wheat, rice, rye, barley or oats. The other foods eaten with the meal
should include generous amounts of vegetables and fruits; good amounts of legumes; smaller amounts
of meat, poultry, eggs or fish and milk and milk products, such as cheese and yoghurt. The greater the
variety of side dishes served with the staple food, the greater the chance that all the needed nutrients
are included in the meal.

.
When you hear how I learned a foreign language, you have to remember a few things. In 1993,
when I was starting to learn English, no one had heard of the internet. I wasn't able to read websites on
topics that I found interesting or follow blogs. And I have no idea how I decided which movies to see
without my favourite movie review website. My reading practice was limited. All I had were the few
books on sale locally. For listening practice, I only had the news and cartoons on cable TV. People
bought and rented VHS videos but in Poland there was no spoken English on them. The only way to
hear that was to visit the movies. My dictionaries were all in book form until I received my first PC
dictionary. It came on at least six disks and had unhelpful explanations and few example sentences. It
doesn't sound very useful but I loved it because of its ability to work with other programs and find
English words more quickly. Today, computerised dictionaries have
simple explanations and lots of examples. If I were a complete beginner learning English I'd
today,
spend hours on the web, reading about my favourite topics, downloading up-to-
date mov
i
emailing English-speaking friends and posting comments on forums.

many of us have been brought up to (3) ________ that insects are for swatting rather
than eating, but in fact they are an important part of the diet in many places and provide a valuable
source of protein. Perhaps the problem really is that we have become too unadventurous - we are now
so used to vacuum-packed, tasteless ready-made meals that we are unwilling (4)_______ anything

combining carrots with sugar enhances their flavour - and how about trying strawberries with
