__________________________________________________________________________________ The top destinations for Vietnamese students are Australia, the US, China, Singapore and the UK. 
English has become the dominant foreign language in Viet Nam, with 98% of students choosing to study 
it over French, Japanese and German. So many students seek English-speaking countries for their higher 
education.
Australia is the destination of choice because Australian qualifications are recognised across the world, 
and transferable to Vietnamese qualifications, and many Australian universities offer scholarships to 
international students. Living costs in Australia compare favourably with the United States and UK, and 
it is closer to Viet Nam than other English- speaking countries, making visits home easier.
The USA has the second largest number of Vietnamese students. The majority of Vietnamese students, 
both at home and abroad, consider the American education the best in the world. They believe that the 
USA is the most scientifically and technologically advanced country in the world. Four out of 10 
Vietnamese students in the US are studying business administration, and finance. Engineering, maths, 
computer science, and health professions are also common choices.

III. Read the passage about international students in Viet Nam, and then answer the questions. 
 Viet Nam: Struggling to Attract International Students
 Viet Nam is changing university enrolment requirements to make it easier for foreign students to 
study at its universities. Previously, foreign students were required to take university entrance 
examinations in Vietnamese, making it difficult if not almost impossible for non- Vietnamese-speaking 
foreign students to apply.
 International student enrolment is one of the criteria to rank Vietnamese universities. Attracting 
foreign students is also a way for Viet Nam to promote Viet Nam's education to the world.
 The leading universities in Viet Nam enrol undergraduate and graduate international students every 
year. Most are from the Asia Pacific region including China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Laos, Cambodia 
and Thailand, while a few come from the United States and Europe. Most of the international students 
study Vietnamese studies, Vietnamese literature or Southeast Asian studies, which makes Viet Nam the 
best destination for them. 7. The IB is not suitable for students who may meet some challenges at the university environment. 
8. Parents and teachers can decide whether the student should follow the IB or not. _________

British further education qualifications are respected by employers and academics worldwide. There are 
two main types: academic courses, and vocational and professional courses. Academic courses help you 
prepare for higher education at a university or college. They aim to develop your analytical skills, critical 
thinking and knowledge. Vocational and professional courses give you the skills and qualifications you 
need to enter and succeed in your chosen career. They offer technical training and skills for the 
workplace.
British further education providers invest heavily in facilities - from libraries, computer centres and 
science laboratories to sports centres, theatres and arts studios. Class sizes are restricted to ensure that 
you have access to equipment and enough time to talk to your tutors and lecturers.

looking for graduates with multicultural experience. Moreover, British colleges and universities have
