Câu 2: Read the text. Choose the best answers. (3 marks) THE NEWS IN PICTURES The filming and photography in news programmes is very important in bringing the stories to life and making us realise how events affect people. But the traditional techniques of filming are slowly changing and not everyone is happy with this. Viewers have recently complained that camerawork on news programmes, while very artistic and clever, is more suited to feature films and documentaries. Apparently many of us are distracted by clever camerawork and our attention is taken away from the real focus, which is the story. Several techniques have been criticised. One of these is the ‘circling camera’. This is when the cameraman goes round the person who is talking so that at one point we see the back of his head. Another technique is when the camera is not held steadily and shakes. It gives the impression of slight panic and is often used in films today. The BBC insists that camerawork like this is a sign of artistic and technological progress and is interesting and attractive, particularly to a younger audience. But how appropriate is it to have a circling camera when reporting on something as ordinary as interest rates? Choose the best answers. 1. Pictures are important in the news because A. they show us important places. B. it’s traditional to have them. C. they help us understand the story. 2. Some people today complain that A. the filming is boring. B. the filming is distracting. C. the filming isn’t very good. 3 . One modern filming technique is A. when people stand in a circle. B. there is a circle of cameras. C. the camera moves in a circle. 4. The television company A. has apologised. B. promises to change the way news is filmed. C. thinks it’s okay to film this way. 5. What is the writer’s attitude? A. He thinks the filming should suit the subject. B. He likes artistic camerawork. C. He thinks there should be more filming with news stories. 1. C. they help us understand the story. 2. B. the filming is distracting 3. C. the camera moves in a circle

Câu 2: Read the text. Are the sentences true or false? (3 MARKS) THE WORKPLACE The workplace is changing. Gone is the traditional office and gone too are the traditional office hours. We are no longer tied to a desk from 9.00 a.m. until 5.00pm with a couple of coffee breaks and an hour for lunch. Technology has revolutionised our working lives in many different ways. One of the greatest changes that we can see happening today is related to where we do our work. The daily commute to and from the office will soon be a thing of the past for many of us. Technology allows us to work wherever we wish because of the increased ability to communicate via the Internet and send our work round the world in seconds. More and more people are taking advantage of this freedom and working from home. One significant effect of this trend is that people are having to develop their self-discipline and time management skills. And perhaps the greatest danger is that the workforce will become increasingly isolated, and some people will see no one from one day to the next. From a practical point of view, however, the way we organise our days is becoming more flexible and companies can cut office expenditure. Only time will tell whether the benefits of working from home make it worthwhile or not. Are the sentences true or false? 1. No one will work in offices in the future. _______ 2. Changes are happening because of technology. _______ 3. People talk to each other more these days. _______ 4. We have to control our working time carefully. _______ 5. Working from home can be lonely. _______ Phần trả lời: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. T 5. T Câu 3: Writing (4 marks) Write a narrative called ‘My earliest memory’. Include the following information: •set the scene •describe the main events •what happened afterwards •how you feel about it now Phần trả lời: My earliest memory Going down memory lane is a very pleasurable experience for me and I indulge in it often. Each season brings with it a moment from the past and usually leaves a smile on my lips.
My earliest memory is in bits and pieces-of my being coaxed to go to school and my whole hearted resistance. There is one particular episode that I remember vividly. I was in the first grade and my brother in Grade four. We went to different schools. Once, for some reason, he had a holiday while I did not. Unfortunately, I was totally unaware of it till I was made ready and found my brother grinning away in his pajamas. I tried all my tricks on Mom to appeal to her softer side but in vain! I was in the bus before long and I remember feigning a stomach ache. I can see the bus being empty and myself lying down on the seat. I remember hearing voices of the driver and the conductor when they stopped enroute, for a cup of tea. I finally reached near home on the other side of the railway line and the conductor rushed me across it and dropped me home. Thankfully, my memory ends here and I do not remember my mother’s reaction! KẾT QUẢ BÀI LÀM Unit:

Câu 2: USE YOUR MIND How many tablets do you take? We all take tablets for headaches and other illnesses. But are they really necessary The big drug companies make the drugs and tablets that we buy to fight our health problems. But could it be possible that many of these drugs and tablets are only good for the bank balances of the drug companies and that there are better ways for us to get over our health problems? According to some experts we should use the power of our minds. Since the 1950s there have been experiments using placebos. Placebos are tablets which do not have an effect on the body, so they shouldn’t be able to make us better. In the experiments some patients in the group receive real drugs for a health problem, while others receive the placebo. No one knows who has the real drug or who has the placebo. In a significant number of these experiments the patients who haven’t received the real drug get better! People think this is perhaps because they are thinking positively and believe they will get better – so they do! So, can we ‘think’ ourselves better? Perhaps the big drugs companies should start worrying! Choose the best answers. 1. The text suggests that drug companies A. sell drugs that are bad for us. B. sell drugs that are too expensive. C. make a lot of money. 2. It’s possible that A. we could manage without drugs. B. we could live longer without drugs. C. we need different sorts of drugs. 3. Placebos A. are tablets for headaches. B. are experiments done since the 1950s. C. should not be able to cure health problems. 4. In the experiments, A. patients know if they don’t receive the real drug. B. patients know it’s a possibility they haven’t received the real drug. C. patients know they have been lied to. 5. According to the article A. some people can get better if they believe they will. B. some people get better if their doctor believes they will. C. some people get better because they stop taking drugs. Trả lời: 1. A 2. C 3. C 4. B 5. A
Câu 3: Write an essay on the statement ‘Nuclear power is the only way to ensure that we have enough energy for the future.’ Include the following information: •an introduction to the main issues •arguments and evidence supporting the statement •arguments and evidence supporting the opposite opinion •a summary of your own opinion Trả lời:
"Nuclear power is the only way to ensure that we have enough energy for the future" NUCLEAR POWER is generated by splitting atoms to release the energy held at the core, or nucleus, of those atoms. This process, nuclear fission, generates heat that is directed to a cooling agent—usually water. The resulting steam spins a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. About 450 nuclear reactors provide about 11 percent of the world's electricity. The countries generating the most nuclear power are, in order, the United States, France, China, Russia, and South Korea. The most common fuel for nuclear power is uranium, an abundant metal found throughout the world. Mined uranium is processed into U-235, an enriched version used as fuel in nuclear reactors because its atoms can be split apart easily. In a nuclear reactor, neutrons—subatomic particles that have no electric charge—collide with atoms, causing them to split. That collision—called nuclear fission—releases more neutrons that react with more atoms, creating a chain reaction. A byproduct of nuclear reactions, plutonium, can also be used as nuclear fuel. In the US most nuclear reactors are either boiling water reactors, in which the water is heated to the boiling point to release steam, or pressurised water reactors, in which the pressurised water does not boil but funnels heat to a secondary water supply for steam generation. Other types of nuclear power reactors include gascooled reactors, which use carbon dioxide as the cooling agent and are used in the UK, and fast neutron reactors, which are cooled by liquid sodium. The idea of nuclear power began in the 1930s, when physicist Enrico Fermi first showed that neutrons could split atoms. Fermi led a team that in 1942 achieved the first nuclear chain reaction, under a stadium at the University of Chicago. This was followed by a series of milestones in the 1950s: the first electricity produced from atomic energy at Idaho's Experimental Breeder Reactor I in 1951; the first nuclear power plant in the city of Obninsk in the former Soviet Union in 1954; and the first commercial nuclear power plant in Shippingport, Pennsylvania, in 1957. Nuclear power isn't considered renewable energy, given its dependence on a mined, finite resource, but because operating reactors do not emit any of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, proponents say it should be considered a climate change solution. National Geographic emerging explorer Leslie Dewan, for example, wants to resurrect the molten salt reactor, which uses liquid uranium as fuel, arguing it could be safer and less costly than reactors in use today. Others are working on small modular reactors that could be portable and easier to build. Innovations like those are aimed at saving an industry in crisis as current nuclear plants continue to age and new ones fail to compete on price with natural gas and renewable sources such as wind and solar. The holy grail for the future of nuclear power involves nuclear fusion, which generates energy when two light nuclei smash together to form a single, heavier nucleus. Fusion could deliver more energy more safely and with far less harmful radioactive waste than fission, but just a small number of people—including a 14year-old from Arkansas—have managed to build working nuclear fusion reactors. Organisations such as ITER in France and Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics are working on commercially viable versions, which so far remain elusive. When arguing against nuclear power, opponents point to the problems of long-lived nuclear waste and the specter of rare but devastating nuclear accidents such as those at Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima Daiichi in 2011. The deadly Chernobyl
disaster in Ukraine happened when flawed reactor design and human error caused a power surge and explosion at one of the reactors. Large amounts of radioactivity were released into the air, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced from their homes. Today, the area surrounding the plant—known as the Exclusion Zone —is open to tourists but inhabited only by the various wildlife species, such as grey wolves, that have since taken over. In the case of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi, the aftermath of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami caused the plant's catastrophic failures. Several years on, the surrounding towns struggle to recover, evacuees remain afraid to return, and public mistrust has dogged the recovery effort, despite government assurances that most areas are safe. Other accidents, such as the partial meltdown at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island in 1979, linger as terrifying examples of nuclear power's radioactive risks. The Fukushima disaster in particular raised questions about safety of power plants in seismic zones, such as Armenia's Metsamor power station. Other issues related to nuclear power include where and how to store the spent fuel, or nuclear waste, which remains dangerously radioactive for thousands of years. Nuclear power plants, many of which are located on or near coasts because of the proximity to water for cooling, also face rising sea levels and the risk of more extreme storms due to climate change.

Câu 2: ROAD PRICING Yesterday the government announced that road pricing may be introduced in many major cities next year and on all major UK routes within the next ten years. Motorists would then have to pay to use the roads that take them to work, on holiday, or even to their children’s schools, in an attempt to reduce the number of cars on our roads. A survey we carried out earlier today shows that this has angered motorists. While being aware that something needs to be done to ease the congestion on our roads, the majority of car owners do not believe that road pricing is the answer. ‘Unless an alternative is given, this road pricing will not be successful,’ said one person. ‘At the moment the road is the only option for many commuters and if they want to get to work they will pay the charge. The government will get more money but the roads will still be congested.’ Our survey has shown that motorists believe that a more efficient, convenient and cheaper network of public transport is the only way to persuade them to stop using their cars. It seems that the government still has a lot of thinking to do on the subject. Road pricing does not seem to be the answer. CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS. 1. Next year we may have to pay if we A. travel through some cities. B. travel on any main roads. C. drive a lot. 2. The charge is being introduced A. to earn money for the government. B. to protect the environment. C. to cut traffic jams and delays. 3. Motorists think A. we need better public transport. B. it’s a good idea. C. the charge is too high. 4. People will pay the charge if A. the roads are improved. B. they have no choice. C. it’s quite low. 5. The government needs to A. think of another solution. B. introduce the charge quickly. C. do nothing. Trả lời: 1. B. travel on any main roads. 2. C. to cut traffic jams and delays. 3. A. we need better public transport. 4. A. the roads are improved. 5. A. think of another solution.
Câu 3: Imagine you are having a disastrous holiday. Write a postcard to a friend back home. Tell him/her about: •the journey •the weather •the accommodation Trả lời: Dear Janine. I am wrighting to you from Sicily. Remember, I've told you I went on a holiday? Well, that is it. A "holiday", which I'd rather call a nightmare... First of all, the agent told me, Sicily has fine hotels. When I arrived the manager told me, the hotel had been overbooked. He hardly knew any other words except "sorry, sir. Overbooking". There were no rooms in the hotel, no rooms in the hotel next door. I finally got a room at almost double rate and much farther from the sea than I expected, but this cost me a day. The weather has been quite cold to this day. now there is some sunshine through the clouds, but my plane is tomorrow. It's been dull, cold and embarassing, because no one speaks English and every place is the same. Looking forward to seing you Yours, Adolf

Câu 2: NOT HERE! Where would you expect to find graffiti? On walls and bridges? Perhaps in special exhibitions? But probably not all over the front of a historic Scottish castle! But soon that’s exactly where you will be able to see it! And this is not vandalism on a grand scale. Four graffiti artists, who are well-respected in their home country of Brazil, have been commissioned by the owner to completely cover one side of the castle with bright, colourful graffiti. The reason is that the outer covering of the walls of the castle is in very bad condition and in a couple of years it will need to be replaced. The family thought it would be interesting to have the graffiti painted on until then. The artists will be staying at the castle and working on it for a month. After that it will no doubt become a tourist attraction for visitors to the area. Most local people support the idea but there have been some negative reactions from people across the country who think it is completely inappropriate. But the family are convinced that when it is completed people will love it. They hope they are helping graffiti to be accepted as a valuable and respected art form. ARE THE SENTENCES TRUE OR FALSE? 1. The graffiti will not be permanent. _______ 2. Artists from different countries will be doing the graffiti. _______ 3. People living near the castle don’t like the idea. _______ 4. The graffiti will include scenes from history. _______ 5. It will probably be popular with visitors. _______ Trả lời: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. T 5. T

Câu 2: ROAD PRICING Yesterday the government announced that road pricing may be introduced in many major cities next year and on all major UK routes within the next ten years. Motorists would then have to pay to use the roads that take them to work, on holiday, or even to their children’s schools, in an attempt to reduce the number of cars on our roads. A survey we carried out earlier today shows that this has angered motorists. While being aware that something needs to be done to ease the congestion on our roads, the majority of car owners do not believe that road pricing is the answer. ‘Unless an alternative is given, this road pricing will not be successful,’ said one person. ‘At the moment the road is the only option for many commuters and if they want to get to work they will pay the charge. The government will get more money but the roads will still be congested.’ Our survey has shown that motorists believe that a more efficient, convenient and cheaper network of public transport is the only way to persuade them to stop using their cars. It seems that the government still has a lot of thinking to do on the subject. Road pricing does not seem to be the answer. CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS. 1. Next year we may have to pay if we A. travel through some cities. B. travel on any main roads. C. drive a lot. 2. The charge is being introduced A. to earn money for the government. B. to protect the environment. C. to cut traffic jams and delays. 3. Motorists think A. we need better public transport. B. it’s a good idea. C. the charge is too high. 4. People will pay the charge if A. the roads are improved. B. they have no choice. C. it’s quite low. 5. The government needs to A. think of another solution. B. introduce the charge quickly. C. do nothing. Trả lời: 1. B. travel on any main roads. 2. C. to cut traffic jams and delays. 3. A. we need better public transport. 4. A. the roads are improved. 5. A. think of another solution.
Câu 3: Imagine you are having a disastrous holiday. Write a postcard to a friend back home. Tell him/her about: •the journey •the weather •the accommodation Trả lời: Dear Janine. I am wrighting to you from Sicily. Remember, I've told you I went on a holiday? Well, that is it. A "holiday", which I'd rather call a nightmare... First of all, the agent told me, Sicily has fine hotels. When I arrived the manager told me, the hotel had been overbooked. He hardly knew any other words except "sorry, sir. Overbooking". There were no rooms in the hotel, no rooms in the hotel next door. I finally got a room at almost double rate and much farther from the sea than I expected, but this cost me a day. The weather has been quite cold to this day. now there is some sunshine through the clouds, but my plane is tomorrow. It's been dull, cold and embarassing, because no one speaks English and every place is the same. Looking forward to seing you Yours, Adolf

Câu 2: WORTH A FORTUNE Do you have something worth a lot of money hiding in your cupboard? Antiques are big business today, and there are now lots of popular TV programmes encouraging us to search our attics and garages or to visit auctions and second-hand shops to find that one item that will make us a millionaire! In these programmes experts visit people’s homes to search them for interesting items to sell at auction, or they take people to markets and shops to help them find a bargain. And it’s not just old antiques that are of interest – people are making money from items they bought just ten or fifteen years ago. But why do we have this fascination? Why do these programmes send us hurrying to look through the things we’ve had for ages? ‘It’s only human nature to want something for nothing!’ says expert Nadia Thomas. ‘We take great pleasure in getting money for something we thought was worthless! It’s like the desire we have as children to find hidden treasure. This is the adult equivalent!’ So, what about that painting that your great-aunt left you when she died? You’ve always hated it but who knows – it could be worth a fortune! And you could be on TV! ARE THE SENTENCES TRUE OR FALSE? 1. Antiques are popular these days. _______ 2. The TV programmes are mainly popular with experts. _______ 3. Modern items are not worth much money. _______ 4. People sometimes pay a lot of money for something that has no value. _ 5. Children are good at finding items worth a lot of money. _______ Trả lời: 1. T 2. T 3. F 4. T 5. T
Câu 3: Write an essay on the topic ‘What is the purpose of art?’ Include the following information: •an introduction to the topic •2-3 arguments with supporting examples •an appropriate conclusion Trả lời:
Art has been a source of fascination since the beginning of recorded history. Paintings have been in existence since man first started walking earth’s surface. The early man drew crude lines in caves smeared with unknown kind of ink, usually dark or bloody in colors. As early civilization progressed, art became a tool for those who cannot express their opinion, view, and on how they think of the world around them. As humanity slowly approached the modern times, art as expressed through paintings and architectural designs became the visual language of many artists especially during the Renaissance period when man’s perception of things change dramatically. One asks, what is the purpose of art? The answers are as diverse as the number of colors that coats a beautiful painting. To some, art is a source of pleasure which gives one a sense of fulfillment and happiness whenever he replicates through painting the beauty of nature. Others just want to smear a canvass with streaks of paint of different colors just for the sake of it, losing him/herself in the moment. Others use it as a form of communication, a medium to express one’s love to a certain person, nature, or to God himself. A long time ago, art is considered a ritual in worshiping the early man’s gods. Yet, the most appealing feature of art, particularly in a painting, is the way it expresses itself as if it is alive or it is the manifestation of life itself. Art can also present history as it happens, or it presents our mental images of things and events in a canvas where the painting is so vivid and almost real that we usually think of the picture as alive. Look at the painting of Mona Lisa; one usually will be inclined to smile back at her because of her smile which is both mystifying and beautiful. The concrete answer to the question as to how the world and man were created has eluded us, but in the religious view of things the Earth was created by God. This was vividly represented by a painting of Michaelangelo, the Creation of Adam at the Sistine Chapel. Because of its vastness (it covers a big part of the church’s ceiling), one feels that he/she was present when God commanded the partition of night and day, and when He planted life on Earth, at the same time breathing his own breath into Adam’s lungs. Looking at the painting, one feels power emanating from it as though there’s an excess of God’s power spewing forth across the vastness of the church’s hollow walls. The point where God and Adam’s finger almost meet exudes a mystery as to what would happen at the point of contact, the moments where God’s power meets with man’s frailty. One can also observe in the painting that man is alone yet God is surrounded by baby angels; this justifies the saying that man is nothing without the grace of God. A picture could paint a thousand words; this is how the painting evokes the image of creation in our kinds. With one look at the Creation of Man, a part of the question of our existence is answered. No words have been spoken, yet it’s as if we have read all of the Genesis chapters in the Bible by viewing the painting. With these observations, we can surmise that Dorothy Allison’s words ring true, Michaelangelo’s surprises as with its beauty and vividness, and at the same time astonishes us as to its invocation of life’s elements and putting it unto the ceiling as one big canvas. Art, as expressed through paintings and architecture, serves as the interpreter of the subject matter. It is a medium to capture the attention of the public, saying “hello, look at me, look at my tears, my smile, my beauty, look at my world.” It is surprising to know that art is also used in the field of science in what is called as art therapy. Clinical studies have shown that a beautiful painting or image tend to
relax a person’s mood, soothes the eyes, mind and the soul. Thus, art therapists, psychotherapists, and clinical psychologist have used art as a healing tool in curing sick and troubled individuals. Now, we ask again, what is the purpose of art? We can say, in addition, that art is a manifestation of all life. It serves as a mirror where man and nature’s beauty is reflected and preserved through time that even if a living thing ceases to exist, its image continues to convey the history of the past, its stories of anguish, sadness, war, joy, happiness, and peace. Art will continue to evolve in harmony with the pace of humanity’s progression. As recorded history sometimes vanish after going through the rigors of walking with time, art serves as an alternative that records humanity’s history, in lieu of documents, pamphlets, and history books.
