I have __________  at a bank in Bristol recently.

(Tôi đã __________ tại một ngân hàng ở Bristol gần đây.)

Lời giải của GV Loigiaihay.com

- Dấu hiệu thì hiện tại hoàn thành “recently” (gần đây) => cấu trúc thì hiện tại hoàn thành: S + have / has + V3/ed. => gained (v3/ed): có được

- Theo sau động từ “gain” cần một cụm danh từ đóng vai trò là tân ngữ.

- Theo quy tắc, tính từ đứng trước danh từ và bổ nghĩa cho danh từ => tính từ “invaluable” (vô giá) sẽ đứng trước cụm danh từ “working experience” (kinh nghiệm làm việc).

=> gained invaluable working experience

(đã có được kinh nghiệm làm việc vô giá)

Câu hoàn chỉnh: I have gained invaluable working experience at a bank in Bristol recently.

Planning our education

(Kế hoạch giáo dục của chúng ta)

1. Listen and read. 

(Nghe và đọc.)


Ms Hoa: Good moming, class. There was an education fair last weekend. Did anyone go?

Nam: Yes, Mai and I did. The fair was great, and we got a lot of useful information.

Ms Hoa: I'm glad to hear that. Would you like to share some of it with the class?

Mai: Sure. After finishing school, we mainly have two education options. For example, we can get into university if we earn high grades or pass the university entrance exam.

Nam: That's true, but academic education isn’t everything. The other option is going to a vocational school where we can learn skills for particular jobs.

Ms Hoa: That sounds interesting. So what are your plans for the future?

Mai: I'm hoping to go to university. Having won several biology competitions, I want to study biology and become a scientist.

Ms Hoa: Great! It’s really important to follow your dream, Mai.

Mai: My mum still regrets not having gone to university. So I want to make her proud of me. How about you, Nam?

Nam: Well, I don’t think university is for me. I want to go to a vocational school because I want to become a car mechanic. My father owns a car repair shop. Having watched him work very hard for many years helped me make my decision.

Ms Hoa: That's very sensible, Nam! I hope you can help him grow his business.

THE EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY FOR SCHOOL-LEAVERS 

This month, Teen Talk magazine has received many letters from secondary school students asking about the different options for school-leavers. We've talked to educational experts, and they think that young people should either continue their studies at a college or university or go to a vocational school.

A. ______________________

Higher education is really for people who want formal learning in order to get an academic degree. If you are good at certain subjects and need a degree related to those subjects, then university is the right choice for you. Besides studying, university students also have the opportunity to live independently, make new friends, and join different clubs. Many students still manage to work part-time during their university years. In addition, college or university students usually have an advantage over students from vocational schools when it comes to further studies after a degree. They will also have broader career options and an advantage in the job market.

B. ______________________

If you are not interested in traditional academic subjects and want to work in a specific trade, then vocational education is the right choice for you. You will gain the practical skills and knowledge necessary for a specific job. In addition, a vocational school may also offer you an apprenticeship. This type of training not only provides students with hands-on experience, but also gives them wages to cover their living costs. Most importantly, vocational training is usually much shorter than a college or university course. After getting their vocational qualifications, graduates can immediately start work and earn a salary.

There are a lot of educational opportunities for school-leavers today. You can choose from hundreds of vocational schools or higher education institutions to continue your educational journey. 

1. formal

a. a job that requires special training and skills

2. manage

b. a period of time working for and leaning from a skilled person

3. trade

c. to succeed in doing something difficult

4. apprenticeship

d. important organisations that have a particular purpose

5. institutions

e. received in a school, college, or university, with lessons, exams, etc.

UK EDUCATION AFTER SECONDARY SCHOOL

In the UK, students can choose to end their formal education at 16, but in England they must stay in full-time education or do a training course until the age of 18.

Many 16-year-old students go on to study at different vocational colleges. Vocational education usually lasts up to three years. During this time, students learn job-specific skills. That is why vocational education is often referred to as career education or technical education. Many students still go on to higher education after receiving their vocational qualifications.

Alternatively, students can go toa sixth-form college or stay at their secondary school if it offers a sixth form for two more years. Students usually focus on three or four subjects that they are interested in or related to the degree they want to study at university. Exams are taken at the end of the two-year course, and the grades are used to apply for university courses. Not all students leaving sixth form go to university. Some prefer to get into a vocational course or find a job.

At university, students study for at least three years in order to get a bachelor’s degree. After the first degree, they can study for one to two years to get a master’s degree, and three to five years to get a doctorate.

From a school-leaver to an award-winning teacher

We spoke with Mai Ha, an award-winning teacher, who grew up in a poor mountainous area. It’s amazing what she’s achieved and how much she’s contributed to her community.

Hi Mai Ha! Tell us about your education.

My parents always supported my studies, and I left school with high grades. Several top universities offered me a place, but I wanted to become a teacher of English, so I chose the University of Languages and International Studies.

I joined the university English language club, practising my English with native speakers and taking part in cultural exchanges. I also worked as a teaching assistant, which helped me improve my teaching skills. So after graduation, I got several job offers in Ha Noi.

But you returned to your home town. Why?

I think my old school needed me more than some big school in the city. English gave me lots of opportunities, and I wanted other young people in my town to learn the language and connect to the world.

You’re also involved in other initiatives. Can you tell us about them?

I became a member of several international teaching communities, and learnt a lot from experts and other English teachers. So I introduced an online platform to students at my school. They use it to communicate in English with teenagers from around the world. Our school even teamed up with a school in Manchester, and students from both schools worked on several projects together.

You've just won the Teacher of the Year award. Congratulations! How do you feel about it?

Thank you! I’m very proud of winning the award, but I’m prouder of my students, who work very hard to achieve their goals and learn new things. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing my students start to believe in themselves.

(Từ một học sinh vừa rời ghế nhà trường đến một giáo viên đoạt giải thưởng

Trò chuyện với chúng tôi Mai Hà, một giáo viên từng đoạt nhiều giải thưởng, lớn lên ở một vùng nghèo miền núi. Thật đáng kinh ngạc với những gì cô ấy đã đạt được và cô ấy đã đóng góp bao nhiêu cho cộng đồng của mình.

Chào Mai Hà! Hãy cho chúng tôi biết về giáo dục của bạn.

Bố mẹ tôi luôn ủng hộ việc học của tôi, và tôi rời trường với điểm số cao. Một số trường đại học hàng đầu đã mời tôi vào học, nhưng tôi muốn trở thành một giáo viên dạy tiếng Anh, vì vậy tôi đã chọn Đại học Ngôn ngữ và Nghiên cứu Quốc tế.

Tôi tham gia câu lạc bộ tiếng Anh của trường đại học, luyện tập tiếng Anh với người bản ngữ và tham gia các hoạt động giao lưu văn hóa. Tôi cũng từng làm trợ giảng, điều này giúp tôi cải thiện kỹ năng giảng dạy của mình. Vì vậy, sau khi tốt nghiệp, tôi nhận được nhiều lời mời làm việc tại Hà Nội.

Nhưng bạn đã trở về thành phố quê hương của bạn. Tại sao?

Tôi nghĩ ngôi trường cũ của tôi cần tôi hơn một ngôi trường lớn nào đó trong thành phố. Tiếng Anh đã cho tôi rất nhiều cơ hội và tôi muốn những người trẻ tuổi khác trong thị trấn của tôi học ngôn ngữ này và kết nối với thế giới.

Bạn cũng tham gia vào các sáng kiến khác. Bạn có thể cho chúng tôi biết về họ?

Tôi đã trở thành thành viên của một số cộng đồng giảng dạy quốc tế và học hỏi được nhiều điều từ các chuyên gia và giáo viên tiếng Anh khác. Vì vậy, tôi đã giới thiệu một nền tảng trực tuyến cho học sinh ở trường của tôi. Họ sử dụng nó để giao tiếp bằng tiếng Anh với thanh thiếu niên từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Trường của chúng tôi thậm chí còn hợp tác với một trường học ở Manchester, và học sinh của cả hai trường đã cùng nhau thực hiện một số dự án.

Bạn vừa giành được giải thưởng Giáo viên của năm. Chúc mừng! Bạn cảm thấy thế nào về nó?

Cảm ơn! Tôi rất tự hào vì đã giành được giải thưởng, nhưng tôi còn tự hào hơn về các học sinh của mình, những người đã làm việc rất chăm chỉ để đạt được mục tiêu và học hỏi những điều mới. Không có gì truyền cảm hứng hơn là nhìn thấy học sinh của tôi bắt đầu tin tưởng vào bản thân.)

1. After leaving school, Mai Ha went to university and trained to become a __________.

2. Mai Ha joined the English language club at her university. She also worked as a __________.

3. After graduation, she returned to her home town to teach English at her __________.

4. Mai Ha’s students use __________ to connect with teenagers from other countries and improve their English.

Making the leap from school to university

Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are excited about it, they should also be aware of the difference between university and school.

At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular assignments and provide support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of your learning at university involves self-studying and project work that you need to plan and complete by a certain date. It is your responsibility to review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do research to find information in the library or online.

Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact with them mostly in a school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very familiar. By contrast, at university, you not only have more contacts, but you also meet people from different backgrounds. Therefore, you need better social skills to deal with any conflict you may come into when interacting with other people.

As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the daily care and support you need. You don’t have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself. You have your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go to university, you will probably move away from home and start to live independently. You need to improve your life skills so that you can manage your own life.

36. What is the text mainly about?

A. A comparison between school life and university life.

B. An explanation why university life is more interesting.

C. Advice on how to leap into university life.

D. A report on the difficulties of university life.

37. What does the word ‘them’ in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. classrooms

B. teachers

C. assignments

D. resources

38. The word ‘contacts’ in paragraph 3 mostly means _____________.

A. people you know

B. physical interactions you have

C. people you want to contact

D. social benefits you have

39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

A. Students will know more people from different places at university.

B. At school, students rarely receive support from teachers to complete their homework.

C. At university, students need to be more responsible for their own learning.

D. Students need good life skills to live independently at university.

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.

The difference between higher and further education can be a common cause of confusion. Further education is used to describe the education that occurs following compulsory post-16 secondary education, which is usually distinct from that offered in universities (higher education). It includes a few different levels such as A-Levels and Higher National Diplomas. Foundation Degrees are also a type of further education and take 2 years to complete compared with the 3-4 years of most bachelor's degrees which are offered by both universities and colleges. Sometimes it is possible to extend a Foundation Degree to a bachelor's degree, with one year or more of extra study.

Further education is usually taught in the sixth-form college part of a school or in independent further education colleges, as well as in other work-based, adult and community learning institutions in the United States, further education is sometimes referred to as continuing education.

Higher education primarily describes post-18 learning that takes place at universities, as well as other colleges and institutions that award academic degrees, and professional qualifications. While higher education is the common name in the UK and Ireland, it is also known as post-secondary, tertiary and third level education.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Every summer, when the results of university entrance exam come out, many newspaper stories are published about students who are top-scorers across the country. Most portray students as hard- working, studious, smart and, generally, from low-income families. They are often considered heroes or heroines by their families, communes, villages and communities, And they symbolise the efforts made to lift them, and their relatives, out of poverty. The students are often too poor to attend any extra-classes, which make their achievements more illustrious and more newsworthy. While everyone should applaud the students for their admirable efforts, putting too much emphasis on success generates some difficult questions.

If other students look up to them as models, of course it's great. However, in a way, it contributes to society's attitude that getting into university is the only way to succeed. For those who fail, their lives are over. It should be noted that about 1.3 million high school students take part in the annual university entrance exams and only about 300,000 of them pass. What's about the hundreds of thousands who fail? Should we demand more stories about those who fail the exam but succeed in life or about those who quit university education at some level and do something else unconventional?

"I personally think that it's not about you scoring top in an entrance exam or get even into Harvard. It's about what you do for the rest of your life," said Tran Nguyen Le Van, 29. He is the founder of a website, vexere.com, that passengers can use to book bus tickets online and receive tickets via SMS. His business also arranges online tickets via mobile phones and email. Van dropped out of his MBA at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona in the United States. His story has caught the attention of many newspapers and he believes more coverage should be given to the youngsters who can be role-models in the start-up community. Getting into university, even with honours, is just the beginning. We applaud them and their efforts and obviously that can give them motivation to do better in life. However, success requires more than just scores," Van said. Van once told a newspaper that his inspiration also came from among the world's most famous drop-outs, such as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or Bill Gates who also dropped out of Harvard University.

Alarming statistics about unemployment continues to plague us. As many as 162,000 people with some kind of degree cannot find work, according to Labour Ministry's statistics this month. An emphasis on getting into university does not inspire students who want to try alternative options. At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Training is still pondering on how to reform our exam system, which emphasises theories, but offers little to develop critical thinking or practice. Vu Thi Phuong Anh, former head of the Centre for Education Testing and Quality Assessment at Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City said the media should also monitor student successes after graduation. She agreed there were many success stories about young people, but added that it was imbalanced if students taking unconventional paths were not also  encouraged. Vietnam is, more than ever, in desperate need of those who think outside the box. Time for us to recognise talent, no matter where it comes from or  how.

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions followed.

Vocational learning opportunities play a critical role in skill development. In non-vocational studies, students often spend hours of their time exploring a variety of different subjects. Their class time tends to be only a few hours per week, as they will spend many hours in the library and on computers conducting research and writing papers that help them continue to build their theoretical knowledge in a variety of fields.

Even within their chosen discipline, they often spend a significant amount of time exploring theory and ideas used by other professionals in the industry. They have significantly fewer opportunities to actually put these ideas to work compared to students going through a vocational education situation. The skills for work and vocation are significantly limited for these students, as their theoretical knowledge does not have the work experience that helps them transition from a classroom study topic into their actual profession. This can sometimes cause challenges when the students graduate and transition into the working world.

However, for students in vocational education and training, this situation gets corrected. Students spend hours in practical workshops each week learning hands-on practical skills related to their chosen field. Class time tends to increase in these schools compared to their outside research time because students spend more time exploring actual work opportunities that prepare them for their future jobs. They do not focus as much time on researching the theoretical as learning the practical.

Students also have courses that will help them learn about the highly specialized equipment they need to do their jobs well. Rather than simply learning about this type of equipment or how it might be useful in the job, they actually have the chance to try out their own skills while still in school. When the time comes for them to transition to an actual job, they have the experience they need to begin the job right away. They will not have to spend time learning how to physically operate the equipment on the job, allowing them to become a valuable employee and build a career faster.
