Today, more and more students are doing part-time jobs while they are still studying at secondary school. Having a job while at school can benefit secondary school students in several ways.

A. ___________

To begin with, students can gain and develop important skills that may be useful in their future careers. The real work environment can help students learn more new skills as well as improve existing ones such as communication, teamwork, or problem-solving skills. For example, if a student works as a waiter or waitress, he or she can learn how to greet and communicate with customers. Those who are equipped with various life skills can perform better in their future jobs.

B. ___________

In addition, having a part-time job can provide students with more experience and then boost their confidence. Students will become more confident if they have opportunities to work together with different groups of people. As we may know, a teaching assistant will help the teacher prepare and present the lesson or mark students' assignments. Students who apply for the post of a teaching assistant are required to meet and interact with the teachers, young pupils, or even parents at various age levels. This can develop their classroom experience as well as confidence.

C. ___________

Finally, those who have a part-time job can build more relationship for their careers in the future.

Over the past few years, working from home has become very popular all over the world. An increasing number of companies allow employees to work from home at least one or two days a week. There are also companies that hire only remote workers. While working from home can come with many benefits, there are also some drawbacks to consider.

The most common advantage is that it doesn't involve any commute to work. Many people spend more than 30 minutes each way travelling to their workplace and often have to deal with train delays or traffic jams during rush hour. Long daily commuting is also linked with increased levels of stress and anxiety. Therefore, people save time for getting extra sleep or eating a healthy breakfast if they work from home. Furthermore, working from home offers greater flexibility, which means employees can choose when to start and finish their working day as long as they complete all tasks on time and meet the deadlines. By having control over work schedules, people can attend to personal matters and achieve better work-life balance. For example, working mothers can take care of their children or adult learners can fit classes into their busy life.

However, working from home is not suitable for everyone. Some employees may feel isolated and lonely when they don't have much contact with their colleagues and organisation as a whole. They may miss the social interaction and creative atmosphere in the workplace. They may also prefer face-to-face supervision and meetings with managers or colleagues. Therefore, it would be difficult for these employees to complete their work on their own at home. In addition, when people work from home, they may find it hard to avoid distractions such as screaming children, dogs barking, or household chores. Even if they have a dedicated workspace in their home, it may not be easy for them to stay focused on their work, be efficient, and meet targets.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Why employees need to work from home

B. Pros and cons of working from home

C. Working from home is not for everyone

D. The future of working from home

32. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of working from home according to paragraph 2?

A. You don't travel during rush hour.

B. You spend more time sleeping.

C. You work flexible hours to suit your lifestyle.

D. You don't have to meet deadlines.

33. The word ‘their’ in paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A. people's

B. employees'

C. managers'

D. adult learners'

34. The word ‘distractions’ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. interruptions

B. chores

C. disorders

D. stresses

35. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of working from home?

A. Feeling disconnected from colleagues and the organisation as a whole.

B. Having no in-person meetings or supervision.

C. Being unable to stay focused at home.

D. Having to design a dedicated workspace at home.

Trong vài năm qua, làm việc tại nhà đã trở nên rất phổ biến trên toàn thế giới. Ngày càng có nhiều công ty cho phép nhân viên làm việc tại nhà ít nhất một hoặc hai ngày một tuần. Cũng có những công ty chỉ thuê nhân viên ở xa. Mặc dù làm việc tại nhà có thể mang lại nhiều lợi ích nhưng cũng có một số hạn chế cần cân nhắc.

Ưu điểm phổ biến nhất là nó không liên quan đến việc đi lại làm việc. Nhiều người phải mất hơn 30 phút mỗi chiều để đến nơi làm việc và thường phải đối mặt với tình trạng chậm tàu hoặc ùn tắc giao thông trong giờ cao điểm. Việc đi lại hàng ngày dài cũng có liên quan đến mức độ căng thẳng và lo lắng gia tăng. Vì vậy, mọi người sẽ tiết kiệm thời gian để ngủ thêm hoặc ăn bữa sáng lành mạnh nếu làm việc ở nhà. Hơn nữa, làm việc tại nhà mang lại sự linh hoạt cao hơn, có nghĩa là nhân viên có thể chọn thời điểm bắt đầu và kết thúc ngày làm việc của mình miễn là họ hoàn thành mọi nhiệm vụ đúng hạn và đáp ứng thời hạn. Bằng cách kiểm soát lịch làm việc, mọi người có thể giải quyết các vấn đề cá nhân và đạt được sự cân bằng tốt hơn giữa công việc và cuộc sống. Ví dụ, những bà mẹ đi làm có thể chăm sóc con cái của họ hoặc những học viên trưởng thành có thể sắp xếp các lớp học phù hợp với cuộc sống bận rộn của họ.

Tuy nhiên, làm việc tại nhà không phải phù hợp với tất cả mọi người. Một số nhân viên có thể cảm thấy bị cô lập và cô đơn khi họ không có nhiều liên lạc với đồng nghiệp và tổ chức của mình. Họ có thể bỏ lỡ sự tương tác xã hội và bầu không khí sáng tạo ở nơi làm việc. Họ cũng có thể thích sự giám sát trực tiếp và gặp gỡ với người quản lý hoặc đồng nghiệp. Vì vậy, những nhân viên này sẽ khó có thể tự mình hoàn thành công việc tại nhà. Ngoài ra, khi mọi người làm việc tại nhà, họ có thể khó tránh khỏi những phiền nhiễu như tiếng trẻ con la hét, tiếng chó sủa hay việc nhà. Ngay cả khi họ có một không gian làm việc chuyên dụng tại nhà, họ có thể không dễ dàng tập trung vào công việc, làm việc hiệu quả và đạt được mục tiêu.

Urbanisation occurs in many parts of the world, both in developed and developing nations. It refers to the process in which urban areas grow as people leave the countryside or more factories and towns are built in rural areas. This can lead to the concentration of populations into towns and cities. When properly planned, urbanisation can bring a number of benefits, especially for the economy and society. However, if it is poorly managed, it can pose a significant challenge to maintaining the sustainability of these areas.

Big cities attract a lot of people as they usually offer more employment opportunities as well as a better life. The economy of urban areas tends to grow rapidly as more businesses and factories are created, and more workers are needed. Economic growth also leads to an increase in household income and spending. This also encourages governments to spend money on better schools, hospitals, roads, public transport, and more. As cities expand, many more facilities such as public parks and gardens, swimming pools, libraries, cinemas. and sports centres are built. These are just some of the spaces that make city life exciting and appealing to people of all ages.

However, when too many people move to a big city, without good planning and investment, its infrastructure can become ineffective. For example, big urban areas can easily get overcrowded as railway networks and roads can't cope with the large number of passengers. The economic growth and expansion of big cities come at a big price for local residents as house prices and rents go up, and they can't afford to either buy or rent. Another problem is that big cities are experiencing more air pollution than rural areas. This can increase the risk of infections, heart disease, and lung cancer, and severely affect people who are ill.

Urbanisation is a process that cannot be stopped and the best way to minimise the problems caused by it is to plan for the growth and all the resources needed, and make sure the infrastructure can support the increasing population.

Đô thị hóa diễn ra ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, cả ở các quốc gia phát triển và đang phát triển. Nó đề cập đến quá trình các khu vực đô thị phát triển khi người dân rời khỏi vùng nông thôn hoặc nhiều nhà máy và thị trấn được xây dựng ở khu vực nông thôn. Điều này có thể dẫn đến sự tập trung dân cư vào các thị trấn và thành phố. Khi được quy hoạch hợp lý, đô thị hóa có thể mang lại nhiều lợi ích, đặc biệt cho nền kinh tế và xã hội. Tuy nhiên, nếu quản lý kém, nó có thể đặt ra thách thức đáng kể cho việc duy trì tính bền vững của các khu vực này.

Các thành phố lớn thu hút rất nhiều người vì chúng thường mang lại nhiều cơ hội việc làm hơn cũng như cuộc sống tốt hơn. Nền kinh tế đô thị có xu hướng phát triển nhanh chóng khi ngày càng có nhiều doanh nghiệp, nhà máy được thành lập và cần nhiều lao động hơn. Tăng trưởng kinh tế cũng dẫn đến tăng thu nhập và chi tiêu hộ gia đình. Điều này cũng khuyến khích các chính phủ chi tiền vào trường học, bệnh viện, đường sá, giao thông công cộng tốt hơn, v.v. Khi các thành phố mở rộng, nhiều tiện ích hơn như công viên và vườn công cộng, bể bơi, thư viện, rạp chiếu phim. và các trung tâm thể thao được xây dựng. Đây chỉ là một số không gian làm cho cuộc sống thành phố trở nên thú vị và hấp dẫn mọi người ở mọi lứa tuổi.

Tuy nhiên, khi có quá nhiều người chuyển đến một thành phố lớn mà không được quy hoạch và đầu tư tốt, cơ sở hạ tầng có thể trở nên kém hiệu quả. Ví dụ, các khu đô thị lớn có thể dễ dàng bị quá tải do mạng lưới đường sắt và đường bộ không thể đáp ứng được số lượng lớn hành khách. Sự tăng trưởng kinh tế và mở rộng của các thành phố lớn phải trả giá đắt cho người dân địa phương khi giá nhà và giá thuê tăng cao, và họ không đủ khả năng để mua hoặc thuê. Một vấn đề khác là các thành phố lớn đang bị ô nhiễm không khí nhiều hơn khu vực nông thôn. Điều này có thể làm tăng nguy cơ nhiễm trùng, bệnh tim và ung thư phổi và ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến những người bị bệnh.

Đô thị hóa là một quá trình không thể dừng lại và cách tốt nhất để giảm thiểu những vấn đề do nó gây ra là lập kế hoạch cho sự tăng trưởng và tất cả các nguồn lực cần thiết, đồng thời đảm bảo cơ sở hạ tầng có thể hỗ trợ dân số ngày càng tăng.a

The kiwi

The kiwi is a fascinating and special bird, which cannot fly, unlike most other bird species. Native to New Zealand, it is also a(n) (26) endangered species. It is estimated that there were once millions of kiwis in the country. However, there has been a rapid decrease in their population with (27) fewer than 70.000 left in the wild today. Historically, the decline was the result of the birds being hunted for meat, skins, and feathers. There are still two other threats to their survival: (28) habitat loss and predators. Deforestation has considerably reduced areas of natural forests. Many of them have been converted into farmland or towns (29) for economic purposes. This has reduced the kiwi's natural habitat and pushed them into areas (30) where they are more vulnerable to predators such as dogs and wild cats. These predators often eat kiwi eggs or attack young kiwis. That is why New Zealand has launched a plan to save their national bird from extinction.

Kiwi là một loài chim hấp dẫn và đặc biệt, không thể bay, không giống như hầu hết các loài chim khác. Có nguồn gốc từ New Zealand, nó cũng là một loài có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng. Người ta ước tính rằng đã từng có hàng triệu con kiwi ở nước này. Tuy nhiên, số lượng của chúng đã giảm nhanh chóng với ít hơn 70.000 con còn sót lại trong tự nhiên ngày nay. Trong lịch sử, sự suy giảm là kết quả của việc các loài chim bị săn lùng để lấy thịt, da và lông. Vẫn còn hai mối đe dọa khác đối với sự sinh tồn của chúng: mất môi trường sống và động vật ăn thịt. Nạn phá rừng đã làm giảm đáng kể diện tích rừng tự nhiên. Nhiều người trong số họ đã được chuyển đổi thành đất nông nghiệp hoặc thị trấn cho mục đích kinh tế. Điều này đã làm giảm môi trường sống tự nhiên của kiwi và đẩy chúng vào những khu vực nơi chúng dễ bị tổn thương hơn trước những kẻ săn mồi như chó và mèo hoang. Những kẻ săn mồi này thường ăn trứng kiwi hoặc tấn công kiwi non. Đó là lý do tại sao New Zealand đã đưa ra kế hoạch cứu loài chim quốc gia của mình khỏi nguy cơ tuyệt chủng.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Biodiversity on our planet is rapidly declining mainly due to human activities such as climate change and pollution. That is why governments and organisations have taken measures to protect wildlife and stop biodiversity loss. The emergence of artificial intelligence has dramatically changed wildlife protection. Conservationists are now turning to AI to find solutions to the rapid loss of plants and animals.

One of the biggest threats to endangered species is poaching for commercial purposes. Therefore, it is essential to stop this illegal activity in forests and nature reserves. However, rangers, whose job is to take care of such large areas, find it hard to monitor wildlife and prevent poaching. That is why many national parks are using AI cameras to track both animals and poachers. Furthermore, the cameras can send real-time updates to rangers' phones and alert them to any illegal activities within minutes. The cutting-edge technology is even effective at night when poachers operate under cover of darkness. The AI cameras are designed to automatically notice any illegal cars or boats entering forests or other protected areas.

Another factor responsible for the decline in biodiversity is habitat loss. When natural habitats or environmental conditions change, it's nearly impossible for scientists to identify the changes until they discover strong evidence. For example, some countries have faced increasing pressure from climate change and economic growth, and have lost a huge amount of surface water. However, the situation has only been discovered with the help of artificial intelligence. Without AI, scientists could not have identified and analysed the changes nationwide. AI has played an important role in collecting data and analysing the factors affecting wildlife, thus helping governments and organisations respond to critical situations in the quickest way possible.
