II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
In the late 19th century, the women’s movement occurred in many developed countries. It
is said to begin in Western societies and then quickly spread over the world. During the
movement, women fought against inequality in education, employment, reproductive
rights, etc. Their uprising was the inevitable result of such a long period of being
subdued. The victims of the temporarily old society were not only women from poor
families but also from all the social classes not permitted to express their own ideas. To
these people, life seemed to last endlessly without freedom and joyfulness. Therefore,
their reaction was considered as the revolution in recognising their contributions and
narrowing the huge gender gap between males and females. The victory of the feminist
movement gave birth for the new era of independence, liberty, and happiness for all
women globally. Since then, women have legally gone to school, chosen their career, and
been admitted to most social institutions and organisations, which had been considered
extremely luxurious things for them. Although gender inequality has been substantially
reduced over the past decades, there are still a few places where women do not have their
entitlement, young girl children are completely illiterate and mature ones cannot work
and receive payment as equally as men. How to help them to be released from the
culturally regional oppression is a very tricky situation. However, it is believed that this
issue is going to be resolved soon.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The violent war happened in the late 19th century to gain independence.
B. Women are maltreated in the world.
C. Women life has changed since their feminist movement.
D. Women were the victims of violent behaviour.
2. Who were often repressed when expressing their own perspective?
A. Women from the lower, middle, and upper social status.
B. Women from poor rural families.
C. Women working in social groups.
Page 3
D. Women in Western countries only.
3. In the past, working for social groups or organisations was .
A. an honour for those having luxurious life
B. severely limited for women
C. women’s regular choice
D. encouraged by the wealthy
4. According to the passage, what is one of the remaining drawbacks of gender
inequality in a few nations?
A. The low participation rate of women in politics
B. The high level of illiterate young girls
C. The decrease in the salary for working women
D. The law against reproductive rights
5. The gender inequality problems in a few nations will be .
A. not solvable
B. defined in a short time
C. eliminated in the near future
D. considered by feminists soon
TASK 2. Complete the reading passage. Write ONE suitable word in each blank.
Since the advent of the Internet, studying languages is not to be (1)
impenetrable barrier for learners. Back to years before 1990s, in some Southeast Asian
countries, students found very few channels supporting their learning. To be precise, they
mostly received lessons from their teachers or (2) books, and
sometimes from magazines and newspapers with limited topics. Today, (3)
, besides the offline class they can access many
sources of learning (4) on the Internet with
countless videos and digital files. Additionally, learners are likely to find out information
about different cultures to improve their language knowledge. Thanks to the Internet,
mastering a (5) language has been much easier than ever before.

Mark: Hello Hoa, how is our group presentation on Viet Nam in international integration
for next week?
Hoa: Hi Mark, I’m thinking about what organisation we’ll choose to present. Do you have
any ideas about this?
Mark: As far as I know Viet Nam has taken part in a lot of international organisations so
far, but a few ones have been mentioned by the teacher like UNICEF, the United Nations
and so on; so, we should find another one for everyone to gain new information. I
recommend the ASEAN community.
Hoa: Okay, great! My country has joined this Association of Southeast Asian Nations
since 1995, and we are going to host the SEA games next year. So let our classmates know
more about the ASEAN with lots of interesting things about other countries like Thailand
and Singapore.
Mark: I couldn’t agree more. Let’s talk about the outline for our speech, particularly the
way we introduce the topic. Do you think we need to present a video to catch the
audiences’ attention first?
Hoa: That’s a good idea! We’ll let them enjoy some audio-visual materials before
showing them the main section including many detailed information about this regional
community and how important the role of Viet Nam is in this organisation. So, I’ll take
charge of this part, and the presentation’s body is yours, OK?
Mark: Well, although I love doing something related to technological jobs like making a
video but… not in this case. Fine! Just follow yoursuggestion and Mike will be the IT guy

Good evening, everyone. Today I will tell you all some really important and useful
information that surely benefits those who are interested in learning Spanish. I’m the
Deputy Director of the Union Bank, and I have many scholarships worth millions VND
for students who have financial difficulty to follow some Spanish courses. We will offer
you 50% to 75% free of the program tuition fees and the rest will be paid monthly. The
program of learning Spanish is completely online but it does not mean it’s less interactive
than traditional courses. You’ll have an abundance of material sources to discover with
lots of video and audio lessons, in addition to various book references. You’ll spend 2
hours every Monday and Wednesday to meet the native speakers who are professional
teachers from Spain and countries using Spanish as their official language. Besides
learning Spanish, you can find out about Spanish history and culture with native speakers
directly. You’ll never find such a precious opportunity to be a member of the institution
again! All the information will be in the file sent to your email.

Today online learning plays an important role in students’ academic life. First, it is
Page 8
undeniable that studying in E-classes is a safe and convenient way for students to keep
track of their study at home if an outbreak of disease occurs like the Coronavirus
pandemic. Students do not need to go to school, so they can avoid being infected with
fatal diseases. Second, it enables students to take advantage of new technology in
studying. They are able to review the videos of E-lessons after class, actively
communicate with their teachers via free, easy-to-use apps with various supporting tools,
do assignments, and get feedback quickly. Finally, it helps students become more
proactive in learning. Unlike face-to-face learning, students become more independent
and have to improve their self-awareness, time-management skills as well as concentrate
on teachers’ E-lessons. In short, students had better take advantage of online learning
effectively with a view to getting good study results.

TASK 1. Read the text and circle the best answer A, B, C, or D for each of the
following questions.
Doing some forms of voluntary work has never been more popular with British people.
Over 20 million people were engaged in voluntary activities in 2013. Volunteering means
giving up time to do work of benefit to the community. It can take many forms, from
working with children with learning difficulties, or in an animal hospital, or planting
trees. When London won its bid to host the 2012 Olympics, up to 70,000 volunteers were
needed to help ensure that the games were a success.
Volunteers can be anyone of any age. Students and full-time workers often manage to
involve in some voluntary work. But what motivates volunteers? Some do it for a sense of
selflessness while others find they have free time available. Many mention the
opportunity to get to know people they would not normally meet.
A relatively new phenomenon is the hope of meeting new friends or even a life partner
through volunteering. In a recent British survey, 20% of 18-24 year-olds and 8% of over65ssaid their love lives had improved since they began volunteering. The same poll found
that nearly half of volunteers enjoyed improved health and fitness, a quarter lost weight -
especially those working with children or doing conservation projects - and two-thirds felt
less stressed. So, it seems volunteering may improve your life, and you may even find
the person of your dreams.
