TASK 1 Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, C, or D to 
 each of the questions.
 My city has been changing since the municipal authority had a 
 plan to renovate the canal systems. The project cost a huge 
 amount of money which was from the support of the world 
 bank and the city’s budget. Before the renovation, the canal 
 was the dirtiest place full of rubbish along its sides. Many 
 ramshackle shacks were built to be shelters of the 
 impoverished working families migrating to this city to earn 
 their living. Household wastes were directly dumped into the 
 canal, resulting in the very contaminated environment. It was 
 said that the very unpleasant smell releasing from the canal 
 was unable to be eliminated, and the living condition there 
 would not be better. However, thanks to the advanced 
 technology and methods as well as the city authority’s effort, 
 everything has been changing. There is no longer the 
 disgusting smell or shabby houses along both sides of the 
 canal. Instead, the road running parallel to the canal is now full 
 of shade of greenery and the water now is so clean that it is a 
 friendly habitat for a variety of fish. The residents now can walk 
 or do morning exercise on the sidewalks along the banks to 
 enjoy the fresh atmosphere. Former inhabitants are also 
 relocated in new apartments with much better living conditions 
 than before. The canal creates not only a beautiful urban 
 landscape, but also brings a lot of economic benefits to local 
 dwellers. Because of its reformation, the city is changing fast 
 too.

I. LISTENING
TASK 1
Script:
Ann: Hello, Linh. What are you doing?
Linh: Well, I’m filling out the volunteer application form. This year, our school 
will organize a 3-week community service campaign to help poor children, in 
which the volunteers can teach English language as tutors. If you cannot 
arrange time to take part in, you can donate any kinds of materials like 
money, books, clothes, or even toys that are still in good use.
Ann: That’s interesting! And where are the volunteers going to do those 
activities?
Linh: Well, the trip is going to last 3 weeks, and we are visiting a mountainous 
commute located in northern Viet Nam. It’s a remote area very far from the 
town, where the local young learners find it hard to go to a language center to 
learn English. We are going to bring knowledge to the children. Besides, this is 
also a good chance for us to learn some social skills and learn to work 
effectively in a team.
Ann: I can’t agree more. I think we can learn more about daily life, culture, 
and cuisine of the people living there too. It’s a pity that I cannot join these 
activities. However, I can send these children some lovely hand puppets and 
some of my books.
Linh: That would be great, Ann. After coming back, each member will write a 
reflection paper so that the organizers will be able to do better in the next 
campaign. I’ll share it with you.
Ann: Thanks a lot Linh! It’s so nice of you!

TASK 2
Sample writing:
A laptop is one of the best inventions that is beneficial for students’ 
schoolwork. To begin with, laptops are portable and not bulky, so students 
can bring them to the library or Internet café to do school projects with their 
partners. Another benefit is that they are preferable to be used for typing and 
editing most of students’ given presentations and assignments due to their 
convenience and versatility. Students also use laptops to interact with their 
teachers through sending and receiving instant messages on social 
networking sites, submitting their homework via emails or even doing tests 
online. Last but not least, a laptop is a useful tool to search for and download 
learning materials on the Internet. It can store much more learning data than 
a smartphone or a tablet. In conclusion, a laptop brings various benefits to 
students, so they should take advantage of its functions wisely.
