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.
 1. The main topic of the passage is about ______________.
 A. the bad condition of the city canal
 B. the modern look of the city

 D. the reason why the local authority renovates the canal home is one of the key factors to help women (5) ___________ to the 
 high steps in society.

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. 2. Many young people like doing volunteer work because they can boost their 
confidence and gain many valuable skills.
3. You can download many educational apps on the smartphone that help you 
study English more effectively.
4. My mother has bought a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and dust fast from our 
house.
5. The reality show attracted an audience of approximately 7 million around the 
world.
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.
