TASK 5: Read the following text and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions below.
Language plays a role in defining national identity. It is a significant symbol of culture and heritage that
often promotes unity within a nation. It also works as a vital means of communication, linking individuals,
and is frequently synonymous with cultural identity. In some cases, language becomes a matter of political
debate because of its close association with national identity.
In a multicultural society, national identity can be a complex issue. Many nations have a number of languages
and dialects spoken within their borders. This can lead to potential tensions and divisions among different
ethnic and linguistic groups. For instance, in Canada, both French and English are official languages, and the
government has made efforts to promote bilingualism and respect for both languages across the country.
Similarly, in India, where the government recognizes over 22 official languages and numerous dialects,
language serves as a powerful symbol of regional identity. It has also been used to declare cultural and
political independence by different groups.
Despite the challenges that come with a multicultural world, language remains an essential part of national
identity. It is a useful tool for facilitating connections between people, preserving cultural heritage, and
fostering mutual understanding and respect among other cultures.
1. The word significant in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. necessary
B. important
C. normal
D. common
2. The word synonymous in the first paragraph is opposite in meaning to _____.
A. equal
B. similar

In the Netherlands, a highly successful biking scheme has been implemented, which helps to reduce the
carbon footprint associated with transportation. This initiative promotes eco-friendly modes of travel,
encouraging citizens to choose bicycles over cars for short-distance travel. By doing so, everyone can
contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which does wonders for the environment.
Moreover, biking promotes a healthier lifestyle among citizens. Instead of spending time sitting in traffic jams
or on public transport, people get regular exercise by cycling. Furthermore, the biking scheme has led to a
sense of community among cyclists, with events organized to promote cycling habits. As a result, this biking
scheme not only benefits the environment but also improves the quality of life for citizens by providing a
sustainable and efficient mode of transportation that promotes health and fosters community spirit.
Therefore, the government in the Netherlands has invested in infrastructure to support biking, such as bike
lanes and parking facilities. These measures make it safer and more convenient for people to choose cycling
as their daily means of transportation and enjoy the benefits that come with the scheme in the long run.

TASK 5: Read the following text and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions below.
Rapid urban growth in developing countries has its drawbacks. One significant drawback is the lack of
affordable housing. As urbanisation happens quickly, there is often a shortage of housing that is affordable for
the residents. The fast pace of urban growth also puts a strain on facilities such as roads, water supply, and
Tiếng Anh 12 – GLOBAL SUCCESS
Thạc sĩ Nguyễn Mạnh Kha
Page 35
sanitation. Insufficient investment in these facilities can lead to overcrowding and inadequate living conditions
for many people.
Moreover, rapid urban growth can lead to social and economic challenges. As cities modernise, there is a need
for more job opportunities. But unemployment can increase when there aren't enough job opportunities,
leading to inequalities in access to education, healthcare, and basic amenities.
Moreover, expanding cities pressure natural resources and harm the environment. Deforestation and land
degradation occur as cities expand, destroying valuable habitats. Increased vehicle use and industrial activities
cause air and water pollution, affecting urban dwellers' health.
To
tackle
these
issues,
governments
must
prioritise
sustainable
urban
planning.
They
should
provide
affordable housing, improve infrastructure, and create job opportunities. Promoting sustainable practices like
preserving green spaces and using eco-friendly technologies can mitigate the environmental impact of rapid
urban growth.

TASK 5: Read the following notes and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions below.
For anyone looking for a job, it's important for them to equip themselves with good interpersonal skills, and
leadership ability, besides other advanced skills. These qualities help you keep the job and do well in it.
Having strong interpersonal skills is essential when looking for a job. These skills involve how well you
interact with others. People with good interpersonal skills usually collaborate effectively with their team.
They are also skilled at negotiating and meeting the expectations of those involved. In their everyday tasks,
interpersonal skills enable them to understand and connect with both colleagues and clients, fostering
improved work relationships. Consequently, this creates a more positive work environment with minimal
stress.
In addition to interpersonal and communication skills, possessing leadership capabilities is beneficial in
finding and maintaining employment. Those with leadership abilities can positively impact others, guiding
them toward achieving common goals. Consequently, they often excel as team players, collaborating
effectively in groups to deliver optimal results for their employer.
It is hard to get a job. It is even harder to keep it, succeed in it, and gain a promotion. However, if people know
how to interact properly and communicate well with others, and if they possess leadership ability, they can
increase their chance of getting and keeping the job they want.

TASK 5: Read the following notes and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions below.
Education is facing some serious challenges due to AI, which has affected how students learn. According to an
article on Medium, there are negative impacts of AI on education today, such as reduced human interaction
and reliance on AI. However, there are solutions to these issues, such as finding a balance between AI use and
promoting critical thinking skills.
One significant consequence of AI in education is the decrease in human interaction. While AI can provide
personalized learning experiences, it cannot replace human teachers who engage students face-to-face.
Teachers can interact, discuss, and give feedback in a way that AI cannot. They play an important role in
students' academic and social development. Human interaction is essential for overall well-being, especially
during the global pandemic. Relying too much on AI could lead to less human interaction and negatively affect
educational experiences.
Another drawback of AI in education is the reliance on technology throughout the learning process. AI can
quickly complete complex assignments, and this makes students depend on it excessively. However, finishing
assignments independently helps students develop problem-solving skills and a strong work ethic, which are
essential for their future. Depending too heavily on AI may hinder students' ability to think critically and
independently in the long run.
1. The word reliance in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. independence
B. dependence
C. belonging
D. development
2. The word decrease in the second paragraph is opposite in meaning to _____.
A. drop
B. remain
C. rise
D. rocket
3. The word complex in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. difficult
B. normal
C. easy
D. popular
4. The word overall in the second paragraph is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. division
B. whole
C. specific
D. complete
5. The word hinder in the third paragraph is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. prevent
B. allow
C. block
D. stop
6. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Students should rely on AI to improve their academic performances.
B. Independence work supports students’ academic and social development.

News on TV and news on the Internet have several similarities and differences. Both are accessible to the public,
providing information on various topics ranging from current events, politics, entertainment, to sports. However,
they differ in the way they are presented and consumed.
News on TV is broadcast through audio and visual means, allowing viewers to watch news programs that include
live reporting and interviews. Additionally, TV news often includes analysis and commentary from experts,
providing viewers with in-depth insights into different issues. On the other hand, news on the Internet can be
accessed instantly and offers interactive elements that engage users more directly. Websites and news apps allow
users to customize their news experience by selecting specific topics or sources of interest, providing a more
personalized approach to news consumption. Furthermore, the Internet provides access to a wide range of
multimedia content, including articles, videos, podcasts, and social media updates. Finally, while both types of
media
can
provide
accurate
and
reliable
information,
Internet
news
may
have
more
problems
with
misinformation because anyone can post any information he or she likes on the Internet.

to technology. In either way, staying informed and critically evaluating sources remain essential practices to live
in the world of mass media today.

risk of extinction, providing a crucial tool for conservation efforts worldwide.
The Red List uses a set of criteria to evaluate the status of species, considering factors such as population size,
distribution, and threats they face in their natural habitats. The categories include "Least Concern," "Near
Threatened," "Vulnerable," "Endangered," "Critically Endangered," "Extinct in the Wild," and "Extinct."

TASK 5: Read the following text and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions below.
Going to university is often considered the natural process for secondary school leavers, but it may not always
be the best option for everyone. There are several reasons to take into account before making this decision,
especially when considering alternative paths.
Firstly, university education primarily focuses on academic knowledge and theoretical learning. While this is
valuable in many fields, it may not adequately develop essential soft skills that employers often seek. Soft
skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving are crucial for success in the workplace. Other
options, like vocational training or apprenticeships, can offer valuable hands-on experience and practical
skills that employers highly value.
Secondly,
pursuing
a
university
degree
often
requires
a
lot
of
money.
The
costs
of
tuition
fees,
accommodations, and daily expenses can add up, resulting in individuals taking on student loans that may
take several years to fully repay. For those who are not passionate about academic pursuits or have clear
career goals that require a university degree, this financial burden may outweigh the benefits.
Furthermore, the job market is constantly changing, and some university degrees may become obsolete in
certain industries. Employers often prioritize practical experience and work readiness over academic
Tiếng Anh 12 – GLOBAL SUCCESS
Thạc sĩ Nguyễn Mạnh Kha
Page 69
qualifications alone. Gaining relevant work experience through internships or entry-level positions can
provide valuable insights, skill development, and networking opportunities that enhance employability.
In conclusion, university education is not necessarily the best option for all school leavers. By exploring
different options, individuals can find the path that best aligns with their interests, goals, and future career
prospects.

Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
We all experience joy and sorrow in our lives, but have we ever wondered why we need both? Some people
might think that joy is the only thing worth pursuing, and that sorrow is something to avoid at all costs.
However, this is a short-sighted view.
The quote "We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world" is attributed to
Helen Keller, a remarkable woman who overcame blindness and deafness to become a renowned author,
activist and lecturer. She knew first-hand the challenges and hardships that life can bring, but she also
appreciated the beauty and meaning that can be found in overcoming them. She believed that joy and sorrow
are inseparable, and that they both enrich our lives in different ways.
Joy is the natural response to the good things that happen to us, such as love, friendship, success,
achievement, pleasure and satisfaction. Joy gives us a sense of happiness, gratitude, fulfilment and optimism.
It motivates us to pursue our goals and dreams, and to share our gifts and talents with others. Joy is essential
for our well-being and happiness. However, joy alone is not enough to make us complete. Joy can blind us to
the realities and needs of others, and to the opportunities for improvement and change. We are not perfect.
On the other hand, sorrow challenges us to face our problems and difficulties, and to cope with our emotions
and feelings. Sorrow is there to make us more resilient. That said, sorrow alone is not enough to make us
grow. Sorrow can paralyse us from taking action and moving forward, making us lose sight of our strengths
and potentials.
Therefore, we need both joy and sorrow in our lives. Joy and sorrow balance each other out, and make us
more human.

Being lost at sea is one of the most terrifying experiences a person can face. Imagine being surrounded by
nothing but water, with no land in sight, no help on the way, and no idea how long you will survive. You have
to deal with hunger, thirst, exposure, fatigue, and the constant threat of sharks, storms, or pirates. You have
to cope with the loneliness, the despair, and the fear of never seeing your loved ones again. You have to
hope for a miracle, but also prepare for the worst.
Some people who have been lost at sea have managed to survive by using their skills, their resources, and
their willpower. They have built rafts, caught fish, collected rainwater, and signalled for rescue. They have
prayed,
meditated,
and
kept
their
spirits
up.
They
have
found
strength
in
themselves
and
in
their
companions. They have lived to tell their stories.
But others have not been so lucky. They have succumbed to dehydration, hypothermia, infection, or injury.
They have gone mad, given up, or drowned. They have vanished without a trace, leaving behind only
questions and grief. They have become statistics, or legends.
Being lost at sea is a test of human endurance and resilience. It is a challenge that few can overcome, and
many cannot imagine. It is a nightmare that no one wants to face.

John, an associate geography professor at Western Kentucky University, found himself facing a life-
threatening situation while conducting a research project on a mountain in Nepal. His journey took a
perilous turn when he unexpectedly fell into a deep crevasse, a moment captured on film.
In the footage, John documented his struggle inside the 22-metre hole, expressing his fear and belief that his
life was hanging by a thread. Despite sustaining severe injuries, including a broken arm and five ribs, his
determination to survive pushed him forward. With sheer resilience, he managed to crawl his way out of the
narrow gap, defying the odds stacked against him. Over the course of six gruelling hours, armed only with
an ice axe, John fought against the treacherous environment, inching his way towards safety. Every move
was a battle against pain and exhaustion, but his unwavering spirit propelled him forward. Finally, he
emerged from the crevasse, battered and bruised but victorious in his escape.
Although free from the icy abyss, John's ordeal was far from over. It took him an additional three hours to
reach his tent, where he sought refuge for the night. The next day, rescue teams arrived to his aid, bringing

The heritage of the United Kingdom, known as British heritage, is a wealth of varied and extensive
inheritance that mirrors the past, customs, and principles of the nation. It encompasses both tangible and
intangible elements that contribute to the country's identity, including landmarks, natural scenery, customs,

One to watch! Essay by Jessica Bourne, aged 14
I'm a big fan of films featuring the spy James Bond. I've got most of them on DVD. We've recently bought
Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the part of Bond. I don't know why the film's got that name -
but it's a great movie, anyway.
All the actors who've played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who's made lots of other
films, plays the part better than any of them. Even though he doesn't talk very much, I think he's the most
perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of
getting someone else to do them. I did wonder sometimes whether he'd be clever enough to defeat the bad
people - but I'm not going to tell you the ending! The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic
performance too - I loved all the glamorous clothes she wore!
The director probably had a hard job making this Bond film as full of action as earlier ones. But the
excitement starts right at the beginning here, with a car chase along a mountain road, and plenty of other
Tiếng Anh 12 – GLOBAL SUCCESS

Page 95
thrilling scenes, too - Bond leaping off tall buildings and so on. Unfortunately, I found the story difficult to
follow in places, and it also seemed to be over very quickly - it lasted under two hours. I also felt there weren't
as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the ridiculous Bond equipment - the underwater
car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at? This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really
enjoyed it.
29.
What is Jessica trying to do in her essay?
A. explain what first attracted her to Bond films
B. tell readers about the Bond DVDs she owns
C. give a balanced view of a Bond film she has seen

Virtually any night of the year, a person can look up at the sky and see the moon. The moon is Earth's only
natural satellite. It takes slightly more than twenty-seven days for it to orbit Earth. And it does so from a
little more than 380,000 kilometres away. Despite being Earth's closest celestial neighbour, there is much
about the moon that scientists do not know.

For instance, no one is exactly sure when the moon was formed. Earth is estimated to have been created
around 4.5 billion years ago. No later than 100,000 years after that, the moon was in orbit around Earth. Yet
the question remains: How did the moon form? There are several theories, but astronomers have thus far
failed to prove any of them correct.
The most widely accepted idea is the collision theory. It states that the moon formed when an object crashed
into Earth. According to this hypothesis, when Earth was first created, it had no satellite. But, at some point
in time, an object approximately the size of Mars collided with Earth. This caused part of the planet to break
off. The largest part eventually transformed into the moon.
Another theory is that Earth and the moon formed at the exact same time billions of years ago. However,
many astronomers discount this theory. They point out that Earth and the moon are comprised of different
substances. They claim that if the two bodies were formed at the same time, then they should be composed
of the same materials. Yet, as an example of their differences, the moon has much less iron than Earth does.
A third theory proposes that the moon formed somewhere else in the solar system. As it wandered past
Earth, it was captured by Earth's gravity and began to orbit the planet. A fourth theory declares that, when
it first formed, Earth spun much more rapidly than it does at the present time. Due to its swift rotation, part
of the crust was stripped away from the planet and cast into space. This material then formed the moon.
Each of the four theories has its supporters and detractors. Thus far, however, no astronomer has been able
to prove one theory while disproving all of the others.
34.
Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. The moon's distance from Earth changes at times.
B. There are many satellites that are orbiting Earth.
C. The moon is always visible in the night sky.
D. No natural objects are closer to Earth than the moon.
35.
In line 10, the phrase “crashed into” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. hit
B. passed
C. interfered with
D. affected
36.
According to the text, what is true regarding the collision theory?
A. It points out that Earth's orbit changed a great deal.
B. It is believed by the greatest number of astronomers.
C. It states that Earth once had multiple satellites.
D. It declares that Mars collided with Earth at one point.

37.
Why do many astronomers doubt that Earth and the moon formed at the same time?
A. The moon more likely came from elsewhere in the solar system.
B. Earth and the moon are formed of different materials.
C. There is not enough iron in the Earth's crust.
D. The chances of two objects forming close together are small.
38.
In line 18, the word “it” refers to _______.
A. the solar system
B. the planet's gravity
C. a fourth theory
D. Earth
39.
The last theory suggests that the Moon was _______
A. a result of a collision between Mars and the Earth

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.
While the cover letter has increasingly become a divisive topic among employers and job seekers, many
employers still think cover letters are important. According to a 2023 study by employment website Zippia, more
than a fourth (26 percent) of employers "always read cover letters" and think they're an important factor of the
hiring decision. And almost half (45 percent) said that not including a cover letter could get your application
rejected. So, in most cases, it's best to be cautious and include one. It can help you stand out from the crowd.
Employers have to read through a lot of application forms for just one role. As a result, if you have similar abilities
as other candidates, a cover letter allows you to highlight your personality and special skills. In short, including
a cover letter is truly useful for job search. Here's how:
•
It shows that you are willing to put in extra effort. Looking for a new job requires a lot of work, so it might
be hard to write different cover letters for different positions. However, according to the Zippia study, 61
percent of hiring managers consider a customized resume (including a cover letter and portfolio link) as the
"top method for applicants to increase their chances of getting a job."

•
You can solve any biases that may exist. In an ideal world, employers wouldn't judge you based on things
like gaps in employment or frequent job changes. Career coach Marlo Lyons suggests using your cover letter
to explain any gaps and provide context for these situations, so employers don't get the wrong impression.
29.
The passage mainly discusses _________________.
A. the importance of cover letters in job applications
B. the role of recruiters in the hiring process

According to the 2023 study by Zippia, ____________ of the employers think cover letters are important.

C. getting your application rejected
D. addressing potential biases
32.
The word "divisive" in the passage can be replaced with __________.
A. positive

C. controversial
D. spectacular
33.

Twenty Vietnamese high school students are currently living in Australia. They are there for three

speak English. They also have the opportunity to learn about Australian culture. We're all very grateful to

The Australian families are happy to host the students, as they are getting to learn about Vietnamese
culture. Both groups will be celebrating a farewell party at the end of the stay. There will be a slide show of

May 2, 2000 saw a great improvement in the accuracy of GPS. Tens of thousands of GPS receivers were
instantly upgraded. An announcement from the White House meant everyone’s ability to pinpoint their
location or their item’s location. On May 3, a GPS enthusiast named Dave Ulmer tested this accuracy by
hiding a navigational target in the woods. He placed a black bucket containing a logbook, a pencil, videos,
books, software and a slingshot in the woods near Beavercreek, Oregon near Portland. Next, he shared the

It has been proved that teen hormones have a great effect on teenagers’ body, moods, emotions and
impulses. Fluctuations in sex hormones, i.e. oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone cause their mood
swings and interest in dating. Teenage hormones also increase the risk of depression. Adolescents are under
intense stress while they try to form their own identity as well as dealing with academic challenges and
relationships. In certain cases, the body produces too much or too little of the hormones required, there will
be a hormonal imbalance, which leads to a variety of health and mental issues. Common signs include dry
skin, blurred vision, fatigue and joint pain. Emotionally, these imbalances result in irritability, depression,
anxiety and nervousness.

It is a common misconception that greenhouse gases only have detrimental effects on the Earth and our
world would be a much better place without them. In actual fact, they play an indispensable role in our
ecology. The Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, CFCs and
water vapour, all of which can be found near the Earth surface. They absorb radiation, heating up the
atmosphere. For example, carbon dioxide and water vapour take in infrared radiations coming to the earth.
At the same time, they partly reflect these infrared radiations back to the earth’s surface. The process of
radiation absorption maintains the temperature of the Earth in a way that makes the green planet habitable
for mankind. Without these greenhouse gases and their service, the Earth’s temperature would fall
drastically and become uninhabitable.
29.
What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform ways to conserve the earth
B. To deal with a mistaken belief regarding greenhouse gases
C. To emphasise the damaging effects of greenhouse gases

----------------------------------
The documentary Home (2009) is a masterpiece by the brilliant and ecology-minded French director Luc
Besson and the accomplished aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film brings its audience
exquisite views of the Earth from above. Together with enthralling images, the film shows alarming statistics
about climate change. These images and figures do a good job in describing how our beautiful planet has
been changed and is being destroyed into an uninhabitable one. The English narration of the movie was done
by Glenn Close, the Spanish narration by Salma Hayek. The documentary aims to encourage sustainable
behaviour among humans and provide basic instructions on the conservation of the Earth. The film producer
explains that, despite its extra-terrestrial viewpoint, the film is named “Home” since the word “home” has
the same meaning in all languages. The ultimate message of the film is that each of us should save this only
‘home’ mankind has.

correct answer to each of the questions.
In order to attract new businesses and residents, and raise property values, gentrification, the process of
transforming a low-income or working-class neighbourhood into a more affluent and desirable one, is
sometimes employed, often by renovating old buildings. While some people see gentrification as a positive
sign of urban renewal and economic development, others criticise it for displacing the original inhabitants,
erasing the local culture and history, and creating social and racial inequalities.
Gentrification can indeed have both advantages and disadvantages for the people involved. On the one hand,
it can improve the quality of life and safety of a neighbourhood, create more job opportunities and services,
and increase tax revenues for the city. On the other hand, it can force low-income residents to move out due
to higher rents and living costs, reduce the diversity and character of a neighbourhood, and exacerbate the
gap between the rich and the poor. Therefore, it is a complex and controversial issue that requires careful
planning and regulation to balance the interests of different stakeholders.

---------------------------
One of the common ways to check if someone is sick is to feel their forehead with your hand. But why do we
do this? What does it mean when someone's head feels hot?
The main reason why we feel someone's forehead is to check for fever. Fever is a condition where the body
temperature rises above the normal range, usually as a result of an infection or inflammation. Fever is a sign
that the body is fighting off a sickness, such as a cold, flu, or COVID-19. When we have a fever, our body tries
to cool itself down by increasing blood flow to the skin, especially the head. This makes the skin feel warm
or hot to the touch. The forehead is an easy and accessible part of the body to measure temperature, since
it has a lot of blood vessels close to the surface.
However, feeling someone's forehead is not a very accurate way to tell if they have a fever. Different factors
can affect how hot or cold someone's skin feels, such as room temperature, humidity, sweat, or clothing.
Also, some people may have a higher or lower normal body temperature than others. Therefore, it is better
to use a thermometer to measure someone's temperature if you suspect they have a fever. A thermometer
can give you a more precise and reliable reading of their core body temperature, which reflects their true
health status.
Feeling someone's forehead is an old-fashioned and intuitive method of checking for fever, but it is not very
scientific or reliable. It can give you a rough idea of whether someone is sick or not, but it cannot tell you
how serious their condition is or what kind of illness they have.
34.
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Science behind Feeling a Hot Forehead
B. The Accuracy of Assessing Fever through Forehead Touch
C. Traditional Methods of Checking Someone's Health
D. The Importance of Using a Thermometer for Temperature Measurement

According to paragraph 2, fever can be a signal of _____.
A. inflammation or infection
B. high blood pressure or heart disease
C. dehydration or fatigue
D. allergic reaction or respiratory issues
37.
According to paragraph 3, the advantage of a thermometer over the practice of feeling one’s forehead is
that _____.
A. it provides a rough estimate of body temperature
B. it measures skin temperature accurately
C. it reflects the severity of the illness
D. it gives a precise reading of core body temperature
38.
The word “reflects” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. enhances

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.
Equity is a vital indicator of financial well-being, representing the contrast between your assets' value and
outstanding debt. Actively pursuing equity-building strategies can bolster net worth, alleviate financial
burdens, and secure a brighter future. Below are some effective approaches to build equity in various aspects
of life: home ownership, business ventures, and personal finances.
In terms of home equity, making regular mortgage payments gradually reduces debt and increases your
stake in the property. Refinancing at lower interest rates minimises expenses and accelerates equity
growth. Strategic home improvements enhance market value, contributing to equity gains. Additionally,
profitable property sales capitalise on favourable markets, significantly boosting equity.
Business equity hinges on augmenting your business's value relative to debt. Revenue growth through
increased sales fortifies the business foundation, while expense reduction and market expansion stimulate
equity growth. Attracting investors injects capital, amplifying overall business value and equity.
Personal equity entails reducing outstanding debts, prioritising high-interest repayments, and building
retirement savings. Prudent investments diversify asset portfolios and potentially increase personal equity.

Sepak Takraw is a sport that originated in Southeast Asia and is played by two teams of three players each.
The objective is to kick a rattan ball over a net and prevent it from touching the ground on one's own side.
The sport requires a high level of skill and athleticism, as players can use any part of their body except their
hands and arms to control the ball.
One of the benefits of playing Sepak Takraw is that it helps develop eye-foot coordination, leg strength and
flexibility. Eye-foot coordination is the ability to coordinate one's movements with visual information. This
is essential for Sepak Takraw players, as they need to track the ball's trajectory and position themselves
accordingly. They also need to anticipate their opponents' moves and react quickly.
Leg strength is another important aspect of Sepak Takraw, as players need to generate power and speed to
kick the ball over the net. They also need to jump high and perform acrobatic moves, such as bicycle kicks,
somersaults and spikes. These actions require strong muscles in the legs, hips and core.
Flexibility refers to how well one moves his joints through a full range of motion. This is beneficial for Sepak
Takraw players, as they need to stretch their legs in different directions and angles to reach the ball. They
also need to maintain balance and stability while doing so. Flexibility can prevent injuries and improve
performance.

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.
A food critic is a professional writer who tries food and writes about it. They may also be called a food writer or
a restaurant reviewer. Most of the time, food critics go to different restaurants, order a range of dishes, and write
about what they ate. There are people who review food for newspapers, magazines, blogs, and websites. But not
every job in this field pays well or even pays at all. Food writers who are just starting out might send in unpaid
reviews at first just to get a by-line and build up their list of published works. Some food critics get their start by
posting about their food and dining experiences on social media.
Top food writers can try new foods all over the world. Some of these experts have their own shows on TV. Food
experts who do well can also put their work in books. This is a highly coveted career with a limited number of
paid openings. Those who want this job need to be willing to put in a lot of hard work and time.
Here are the salary ranges for each job:
•
Journalist: $36 per hour
•
Reporter: $41,869 per year
•
Staff writers: $38,716 per year
•
Content writers: $17.54 per hour
•
Total salaries: from $7.25 to $74.45 per hour
Because this is such a small field, there isn't much information about how much food writers make. But there is
information for journalists, reporters, staff writers, and content writers, whose jobs are similar to those of food
reviews. Many food reviewers only write about food part of the time. When they're not reviewing restaurants,
they work as full-time journalists or reporters who cover other topics.
29.
What can be the title of the passage?
A. How Food Critic Organizes Their Work
B. Exploring the World of Food Critics
C. Food Critic- A Highly Stressful Job
D. Being a Food Critic Changes Lives

A. to travel the world and try new dishes

How long will a baby born today live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are studying genes that could mean
long life for us all.
There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact, there are now so
many healthy, elderly people that there’s a name for them: the wellderly. These are people over the age of
eighty who have no major illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where healthy old age is typical. These include places like
Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has
about 2,000 inhabitants. And of these, there are at least eight people over a hundred years old. When
researchers ask people like this the secret of their long life, the answer is almost always about food and is
almost always the same: ‘I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.’ ‘I eat a little bit of everything.’ ‘I neither smoke
nor drink.’
In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life, these
days they are also looking at genetics. Researcher Eric Topol says that there must be genes that explain why
people are protected from the effects of aging process. The new research into long life did scrutinize groups
of people who have a genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country
there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It’s called Laron syndrome. These people don’t
grow very tall – just over one metre. But Laron syndrome also give them protection against cancer and
diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in their families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island
of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived men, Japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron
syndrome group.
Back in Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old people. They looked at family
information from the 19th century to today. It is concluded that there are genetic factors that give health
benefits to the men. This is a surprising result because generally in Europe, women live longer than men. So
what really makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of genes, the environment and
probably a third factor – luck.
34. Which of the following is NOT true about the Laron syndrome?
A. This syndrome is a health problem for groups of people in Ecuador and Hawaii.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan
High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this massive metal structure once supported a rail
line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories and warehouses. It was hardly used after
the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one stretch remained in a region of Manhattan called
Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming more and more upmarket as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were
built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would
have to be removed.

Page 131
But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places
in the city. It holds an elevated park, with carefully tended gardens, a promenade and great views of the city.
The idea to convert the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they
attended a community meeting to decide the fate of the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people
at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on, when they asked railway officials to
take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the
city, and they realised that the High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in
improving urban centers, and so the project quickly gathered momentum and funds for construction were
easily obtained.
The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals
alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies with wonderful city
views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are densely planted. Other sections have wide lawns
and walkways planted with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty
years – a railway line overgrown with weeds.
29.

31.
What does the phrase “a dead weight” refer to?
A. something with potential to be better.
B. something useless which slows progress.

An engine is a machine that creates mechanical motion from energy. In order to do this, an engine frequently
requires some type of fuel to burn. Nowadays, many engines are used to power cars and other forms of
transportation. These vehicles most commonly have an internal combustion engine and rely upon gasoline
for power. However, there are several types of engines that can use alternative energy sources. Many people
Tiếng Anh 12 – GLOBAL SUCCESS
Thạc sĩ Nguyễn Mạnh Kha
Page 132
are trying to switch to them because gasoline, which is a fossil fuel, creates pollution and is also a non-
renewable resource Alternative energy sources, meanwhile, create less pollution and are often renewable
sources of energy.
These days, engines that are able to burn biofuels are somewhat common. Biofuels are fuels that are made
from biological material, such as corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. These biofuels burn cleanly, so they produce
much less pollution than fossil fuels. In some countries, such as Brazil, cars with biofuel engines are standard.
In fact, most of the cars in Brazil have engines that can operate on either gasoline or biofuel.
A second type of alternative engine is the electric engine. Cars with electric engines have been common for
decades. Most are being used in hybrid cars at the moment. These are vehicles that have both a gasoline-
powered engine and an electric one. In many cases, the gasoline-powered engine is used to operate the car
at high speeds on expressways. The electric engine is utilised for city driving. One benefit of hybrid cars is
that as the gasoline-powered engine runs, it simultaneously recharges the electric engine.
A third type of alternative engine is the hydrogen engine. It utilises hydrogen fuel cells, which convert
hydrogen into electricity that can power the car These days, there are many cars and buses that rely upon
hydrogen engines. However, there are some problems associated with this type of engine. The hydrogen
used in the engine must be processed from other materials, and it is also difficult to store. As a result, vehicles
that run on hydrogen are expensive.
34.
What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Biofuels: Can They Really Run Car Engines?
B. Cars to Use Internal Combustion Engine
C. New Types of Alternative Energy Engines
D. What Is the Best Type of Vehicle Engine?
35.
According to paragraph 1, what is probably true about alternative energy sources?
A. They have only been discovered recently.
B. They are less common than fossil fuels.
C. They cost a great deal to produce.
D. They are rejected by the majority of people.
36.
The author uses corn, soybeans, and sugarcane as examples of _______.
A. crops that are grown in Brazil
B. plants that can be eaten by people
C. biological materials that grow quickly
D. things that can be turned into biofuels
37.
What does the author say about biofuels in Brazil?
A. Many cars there can run on them.
B. They were first discovered there.
C. They are used more than gasoline.
D. Many Brazilians approve of them.
38.
When do many hybrid cars use their electric engines?
A. When being driven in the countryside
B. When being driven on city streets
C. When being driven on highways
D. When being driven on expressways
39.
The word “recharges” is closest in meaning to _______.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is one or more rare conditions in which a person cannot feel and has
never felt physical pain. Because feeling physical pain is vital for survival, CIP is an extremely dangerous
condition. It is common for people with the condition to die in childhood due to injuries or illnesses going
unnoticed. Because children and adults with the disorder cannot feel pain, they may not respond to
problems. Thus they are at a higher risk of more severe diseases. Children with CIP often have damage in
oral cavity such as having bitten off the tip of their tongue or have fractures to bones. They may have
infections and damage when strange objects get into their eyes and they do not know. Some CIP patients
experience lifelong insensitivity to pain and do not feel cuts and burns; they do not experience pain during
childbirth. When they have to go through a surgery, they do not experience pain and do not require special
medicines for reducing pain. Furthermore, these people could not sense heat from chili peppers, they
sometimes do not sense depression, fear, or anxiety.

Milu was born in a small village in the north of India, and never had the chance of going to school, because her
family needed her to work. So, she grew up never having learned to read or write. She was a little sad about
it, but she didn't let it upset her too much, and tried to think about other things.
Tiếng Anh 12 – GLOBAL SUCCESS
Thạc sĩ Nguyễn Mạnh Kha
Page 137
She went through life, never being able to do what she wanted, because she felt that if she couldn't read,
then she was somehow less than everybody else. This meant that she didn't make many friends and didn't
go out much. She thought people would think she was stupid, and she didn't want them to laugh at her.
When she was fifty-six, she got a job cleaning a school and when she had finished her work, she used to sit
and watch the little kids do their lessons. She didn't realise that one of the teachers watched her while she
watched the kids, and one day, as she was about to leave, the teacher asked her to sit in the class. The kids
thought it was very funny, but the teacher patiently started Milu on her first lesson to learn to read.
That was a few years ago, and now Milu can read and write as well as any of the other kids. She still cleans
the school because she likes her job, but she doesn't feel less than everybody else anymore. The teacher, who
is now her friend, sometimes gives her a book to read and she learns about people living in other parts of
the world.
She has a granddaughter who studies at the same school, and sometimes she helps her with her
homework. Being able to do that makes her feel so happy that when she is alone she has a little cry.When
she was in her little village as a child, she would never have dreamt that one day she would be able to help
her granddaughter with her homework. She owes gratitude to her teacher friend for the gift she was given.
