It also has 140 natural satellites, like moons and pieces of debris. V. Read the passage and do the tasks below. (2 pt) LEARNING ENGLISH It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accent. Unlike children, who are flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation. One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an Englishspeaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to learn new vocabulary as well as improve their accents. International students can also learn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live together.

KÈ

* Decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F). 1. ______Most young students are able to change their pronunciation easily. 2. ______ Attending a pronunciation class can be very helpful to adult learners who have problems with their pronunciation. ** Answer these questions: 1. Can studying pronunciation help students to understand the rules of English? 2. Where do students often need to be exposed to English? VI. Finish each of the sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the one printed before it. (1 pts) 1. Does your father use this computer every day? @ Is this computer_______________________________________________________________. 2. “I have just received a postcard from Mark”, Jerry said. @ Jerry said ______________________________________________________________.

Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. V. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). (1.25pts) LEARNING ENGLISH

It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accent. Unlike children, who are flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation.

ƠN

One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to learn new vocabulary as well as improve their accents. International students can also learn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live together.

QU Y

1. Adult students of English cannot improve their accents because they are slow to change. 2. Most young students are able to change their pronunciation easily. 3. Attending a pronunciation class can be very helpful to adult learners who have problems with their pronunciation.

4. All that they need to improve their pronunciation is to practice more outside the classroom.

Read the passage carefully then choose the correct answers. (1.5ps) ROOTED IN THE PAST Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they live in. Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation. Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect seniority. When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were taught that families were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity. Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society. 1. Good manners are………………………. . A. of great value B. of the community C. traditional D. only for the old 2. What was seen as a boy's main duty? A. to respect seniority B. to support his family C. to do housework D. to share good things 3.

OF F

From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three-fourths of the Earth's surface, blue is the colour we see most. The continents look brown, like small islands floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds wrap around the Earth like a light blanket. The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would

NH ƠN

take more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest part of the sphere in only 90 minutes.

Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The Moon has no air or water. Plants and animals can't live there either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that,, there were six more trips to the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still studying. There are

QU Y

holes, or craters, all over the Moon's surface. Scientists believe that meteorites smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.. The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The . Sun looks very big because it is so close. But the Sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of far-

away stars are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they warm the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always glowing,

KÈ

the night here on Earth is dark. That's because the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours. During the day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the Earth turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.

Each day we learn more about the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun.

PARTII : (3pts) I. Read the passage then choose the best answer: (1.5pts) Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects 5

A Chinese tourist on holiday in Egypt was shocked to see graffiti in Chinese on a 3,500year-old monument in Luxor. A photo of the graffiti was soon on his blog on the Internet.

ƠN

People in China couldn’t believe it!

They were angry and there was a big hunt to find the person responsible.They could find him easily because the message wasn’t very imaginative or clever. It was basically ‘Ding

Jinhao was here’. That was enough for Internet users to find this particular Ding Jinhao, a teenager in Nanjing. His parents were quick to tell a local newspaper that their son was very sorry for his actions.

QU Y

Ding’s graffiti was a terrible idea. It is a serious crime to write on a historic monument in Egypt. You can go to prison for a year for doing it. But in the past, people could write on monuments and no one was angry about it. At Giza there is an example of graffiti on a temple wall from 1244 BC. It says ‘Hadnakhte … came to make an excursion and amuse

himself on the west of the Memphis, together with his brother, Panakhti’. 1. Why was it easy to find Ding Jinhao?

KÈ

A. Because it was on a monument. B. Because he wrote it on his blog. C. Because it was basic and clear.

2. What is the attitude today to tourist graffiti in Egypt?

DẠ

A. People can’t believe it. B. It is considered a crime. C. People are sorry for this action.

In the past, the study of space was mainly carried out by astronomers using telescopes.

DẠ

However, astronomers sometimes had it wrong. Meanwhile, apart from the desire to conquer the world around, humans also want more space to accommodate the world’s increasing population. Owing to the developments in space technology, humans have made spectacular

explorations and discoveries of the space. The explorations can be conducted either by

unmanned robotic probes or by human spaceflights.

FI CI A

Undeniably, those achievements have been made quickly as a result of the “space race” by the Soviet Union and the United States. Within more than two decades, from the beginning

of 1950s to 1970s, the two nations launched many of the milestones, from launching living beings into space to launching flybies to observe planets.

However, the biggest achievement of the 21st century has been the cooperation in launching

the International Space Station, which serves as space environment research laboratory for experiments in many fields. It is also suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. Hopefully, in the near future, space

Monkeynauts are monkey astronauts which were sent into space for exploration. The first monkey that was sent into sub-orbital space was a squirrel monkey called Gordo. Gordo was launched into space on December 13, 1958, in the nose cone of a US Army Jupiter

AM-13 rocket. Gordo did well in the flight, but it drowned in the Atlantic Ocean when the flotation device on the nose cone failed and it sank.

The next two monkeys in space, Able and Baker, were launched on May 28, 1959. They

were launched on the Jupiter AM-18 rocket. Able was a 7-pound monkey, and Baker was a 11-ounce squirrel monkey. They were both successfully retrieved after a 300-mile sub-

monkey that was sent into sub-orbital space was a squirrel monkey called Gordo. Gordo was launched into space on December 13, 1958, in the nose cone of a US Army Jupiter AM-13 rocket. Gordo did well in the flight, but it drowned in the Atlantic Ocean when the flotation device on the nose cone failed and it sank. The next two monkeys in space, Able and Baker, were launched on May 28, 1959. They

were launched on the Jupiter AM-18 rocket. Able was a 7-pound monkey, and Baker was a

KÈ

11-ounce squirrel monkey. They were both successfully retrieved after a 300-mile suborbital flight that took 16 minutes. However, Able died four days after the flight from a reaction to the anaesthetic given during post-flight surgery. Baker died of kidney failure on

November 29th 1984, 25 years after the flight, at the age of 27.
