II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B or C.
I was born in Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam. Ha Noi is famous for its natural beauty, with lots of rivers and lakes. There are many historical places to visit in Ha Noi. The Literature Temple (Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam) is the country’s first ever historical university. Teenagers often come here to pray for high results in their upcoming examinations. As Viet Nam is a Buddhism-oriented nation, its capital has also been the centre of Buddhism for centuries. In Ha Noi alone, there are about 600 temples and pagodas. It also has a big church in the city centre, a popular place for the few Christians living here. With a population of nearly eight million, the city is quite crowded. However, the public transportation is not adequate, so visitors find it hard to safely cross the roads. The city is packed with universities and enterprises, making it the top destination for higher education students and labour workers. Many people from rural areas reside in Ha Noi so that they can get well-paid jobs. This makes the city become more crowded than ever before.

Read the following passage and do as directed.
Unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones, are becoming a game-changer in modern logistics. They’re being used to deliver everything from medicine and food to groceries and homecare products. Their growing popularity in last-mile delivery is because of being more accurate, eco-friendly, and faster than traditional methods—all while cutting operational costs by up to 70%. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the application of this safe, contactless delivery model happen even faster.
Despite their speed and convenience, however, drones still face some significant challenges. One major concern is airspace management. The skies above urban areas are already too packed with planes and helicopters to add hundreds or even thousands more of delivery drones. Companies will therefore need to ensure these drones won’t threaten public safety or private property. Another problem is security. Since the drones will be traveling independently, their control systems have to be well-protected from hackers. A drone controlled by a hacker could pose serious risks to people, buildings, and other aircraft. And what happens when a malfunctioning drone falls from the sky? Obviously, these risks must be addressed properly before drones can become a mainstream delivery solution.
a. Decide whether the following sentences are True or False.
Question 31. Expenses to operate drone delivery service have proved to be much more expensive than vehicle transport services.
A. True
B. False
Question 32. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the popularity of drones.
A. True
B. False
Question 33. Delivery drones are likely to be widely used in urban areas because there are few obstacles.
A. True
B. False
Question 34. There is no worry that drones will be hacked by cybercriminals.
A. True
B. False
b. Choose the correct answer to each question.
Question 35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The original use of drones.
B. Challenges of using drones in modern logistics.
C. The advantages and disadvantages of delivery drones.
D. Ways to deliver products during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Question 36. Which of the following would MOST likely be a consequence of delivery drones in cities?
A. the rise of urban hackers
B. the lack of commercial aircraft
C. inaccurate landing
D. injury to pedestrians
Complete each second sentence so that it has a similar meaning as the first sentence.
Question 37. I couldn’t concentrate on reading my book with all that noise going on.
→ Because ______________________________ I couldn’t concentrate on reading my book.
Question 38. Thanks to the advent of mobile payment services, customers don’t have to pay by cash. (NEED)
→ There is _________________________________ thanks to the advent of mobile payment services.
Question 39. I’m sure that this horror movie is not frightening to him. (FRIGHTENED)
→ He ___________________________________ this horror movie.
Question 40. ‘I'm sorry he was so rude to you.’ ‘It doesn't bother me.’ (BY)

Read the text about extended family. Circle the best options.
An extended family is a type of family structure that has more than two generations, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even distant relatives. This type of family can have both advantages and disadvantages.
One clear advantage of having an extended family is the family togetherness. With more relatives, there are more shoulders to cry on during difficult times, which creates a feeling of comfort and protectiveness. Another advantage that an extended family can provide is that everyone shares responsibilities, such as child care support, adult care giving or housework sharing.
Although the benefits of living in an extended family are real, it's important to consider some disadvantages this type of family structure might have. First, because there are many people sharing the same living space, it might be challenging to have personal space and enjoy privacy. Second, in an extended family, it might be difficult to make a decision that satisfies everyone because of different viewpoints and preferences.
Living in an extended family can be beneficial and challenging. It is important to find a balance between the pros and cons.

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. (tai họa, nghịch cảnh)
Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.

Everybody knows that in studying foreign languages practice is the key to fluency. All foreign language learners even the advanced learners need practice. There is a fact that a learner can know a lot of grammar rules and have a large vocabulary; however, they can't speak well yet. So the learners must know how to use what they have learnt, apart from the ability to explain grammar rules. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are all important skills but most English learners find listening and writing the most difficult.
