I have been accepted to the maths class at Ha Noi High School - one of the best schools in Ha Noi I love maths and I hope to become a mathematician one day I know the route ahead is not smooth because I will have to take courses in maths, physics, and even in computing My dad said I need not only a bachelor's degree, but ideally a doctoral one if I want to get a good job I would love to work at the Institute of Mathematics like my dad because, due to his work at the institute, he has also been invited to teach in several universities in France Alternatively, I can choose applied mathematics and work in finance for an international company Moreover, my mother said I also need soft skills like teamwork skills, interpersonal skills, and communication skills to either of those jobs Luckily, my new school provides many extracurricular classes which I can take part in to relax and to pick up those skills Anyway, there is plenty of time for me to make detailed plans I've decided to take a break for a while Wish you were here to go with me to Da Nang Duong 1.Jenny is going to study at Queens' College because A.she has been granted a scholarship B.she wants to study biology there C.it's a prestigious college in the UK D.all of the above 2.Which of the following is most likely NOT true of Ha Noi High School?
