Ví dụ 3: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
How do children learn about wildlife? And is what they learn the sort of thing they should be learning? It is
my belief that children should not just be acquiring knowledge of animals but also developing attitudes and
feelings towards them based on exposure to the real lives of animals in their natural habitats. But is this
happening?
Some research in this area indicates that it is not. Learning about animals in school is often completely
disconnected from the real lives of real animals, with the result that children often end up with little or no
understanding or lasting knowledge of them. They learn factual information about animals, aimed at
enabling them to identify them and have various abstract ideas about them, but that is the extent of their
learning. Children’s storybooks tend to personify animals as characters rather than teach about them.
For direct contact with wild and international animals, the only opportunity most children have is visiting a
zoo. The educational benefit of this for children is often given as the main reason for doing it but research
has shown that zoo visits seldom add to children’s knowledge of animals – the animals are simply like
exhibits in a museum that the children look at without engaging with them as living creatures.
Research has also been done into the attitudes of children towards animals. It shows that in general terms,
children form strong attachments to individual animals, usually their pets, but do not have strong feelings
for animals in general. This attitude is the norm regardless of the amount or kind of learning about animals
they have at school. However, those children who watch television wildlife programmes show an interest in
and affection for wildlife in its natural environment, and their regard for animals in general is higher.

 The Importance of Environmental Conservation
In today’s rapidly changing world, the importance of environmental conservation cannot be
overstated. Our planet’s ecosystems, which have evolved over millions of years, are now facing
unprecedented threats from human activities. Deforestation, pollution, climate change, and the loss of
biodiversity are just a few of the critical issues that need urgent attention.
Forests, often referred to as the lungs of the Earth, play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide
and producing oxygen. They also provide habitat for countless species of wildlife. However, extensive
logging and land conversion for agriculture are leading to deforestation at an alarming rate. This not only
contributes to climate change but also endangers species that depend on these forests for survival.
Pollution, another significant environmental challenge, affects air, water, and soil quality. Industrial
activities, vehicular emissions, and improper waste disposal are major contributors to environmental
degradation. Pollutants can harm human health, disrupt ecosystems, and threaten the survival of many
species.
Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, is altering weather patterns, melting ice caps,
and raising sea levels. These changes impact agriculture, water resources, and natural habitats, posing a
threat to both human societies and wildlife.
Addressing these environmental issues requires global cooperation and individual action. Emphasizing
sustainable practices, reducing waste, conserving energy, and protecting natural habitats are essential steps
towards a healthier planet. By prioritizing environmental conservation, we can work towards a more
balanced and resilient ecosystem for future generations.
4.1. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 1?
A. The natural balance of the planet has remained unchanged over millions of years, but recent human
activities are now posing significant threats to it.

Ví dụ 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
Modern technologies have changed the way that people communicate with one another. These
technologies provide new and innovative ways for people to communicate text messaging, email, chat and
social networks. They allow faster and more efficient communication and can help build relationships.
However, modern technologies can also have negative effects such as limiting personal contact and
straining relationships. The nature of the effect depends in large part on the type of relationship.
Modern technologies limit the amount of separation between work and home. With the advent of
computers, the Internet and cell phones people can and are often expected to address work issues from
home. This can limit family interactions and cause conflict between family members. The use of Internet
and television by children and teenagers also limits the amount time spent with family and can increase
conflict between children and their parents.
Young people use modern technologies in increasing numbers to communicate with their friends. Text
messaging and online chats have become the preferred method of youth communication. A California State
University and UCLA study indicates that for young people face-to-face interactions are less desirable than
modern modes of communication. This preference could cause an inability to form lasting friendships or
difficulty understanding social cues. Others believe that modern technologies increase communication and
therefore strengthen friendships.
Starting new relationships romantic and otherwise can be difficult. Modern technologies allow people to
make new connections without the fears characteristic of face-to-face contact. The anonymity and low risk
are what makes Internet dating and social networks popular ways of meeting people. However, this
anonymity can also be dangerous. In April 2011, a woman sued an online dating site after allegedly being
raped by a man she met online.
Modern technologies allow couples to be in contact with each other more than ever before. This can lead
to increased expectations and conflict. With the increasing use of cell phones and email, people often
expect an instant reply to communication. A delayed reply or none at all can lead to suspicion and anger.
The use of social networks can also affect relationships. Information that was once private such as
relationship conflicts is now part of the public sphere. (360 words)
