C or D) which you think fits best according to the text Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided More often than not, you can't just "order up a job" by responding to an online posting and have it delivered in one or two days as if you were buying whatever your heart desires on Amazon Even as employers are hiring at a higher rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your way through the job search process If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonprofit organization Both the nonprofit and for-profit worlds need people with many of the same talents The best volunteer jobs for you to consider are ones where the experience you acquire will be applicable in the "for-pay" position you want to attain It's often the case that once you display your passion for the organization and its mission, and have demonstrated your abilities, you'll earn strong consideration when a paying position opens up that can benefit from your talents Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, by highlighting your volunteer experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wasting your time away staying at home watching the grass grow There are a few strategies you might adopt when considering at which organization you'll want to volunteer You'll probably want to make a priority of volunteering to what you've already done, or want to do, in the for-profit sector Alternatively, however, it might make sense to volunteer to something where you can turn an area of professional weakness into a new strength Remember, as well, that nonprofit organizations maintain strong relationships with their corporate sponsors, and you might look for a volunteer position that would enable you to be that nexus point between the two And, especially if you are recently out of school, you should look for positions that let you learn about an occupation, a field of interest or an industry As you try to determine what you want to volunteer to do, and where you want to it, make three lists: your marketable skills, the roles you seek and the kinds of charitable organizations you would want to support For example, perhaps your skills cluster around accounting, marketing or event planning Think about how these might come in handy for organizations that need financial help figuring out how to brand the organization to attract other volunteers or donors or run anything from charitable golf tournaments to gala dinners 31 What is the author’s main purpose in the passage? A To explain why volunteer work is always beneficial to volunteers B To advise unemployed people to voluntary work Tiếng Anh THPT – Bảng B C To prove that people can have a good job via doing volunteer work D To describe the procedure to have a profit job 32 According to the first passage, the following should spend time volunteering at a nonprofit organization, EXCEPT A employers B emigrants C the jobless D new graduates 33 As mentioned in paragraph 2, what should the volunteers pay attention to when searching for an unpaid job? A They should not mention what voluntary jobs they have done in the resume B They should merely display their abilities when doing the for-pay jobs C The best type of volunteer work should be relevant to the one they want to get wages D The employers may think you have been wasting time doing nonprofit jobs 34 The word “priority” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A precedence B unimportance C demonstration D preference 35 What does the phrase “the two” in paragraph refer to? A volunteer jobs and for-profit jobs B volunteer jobs and their organizations C unpaid jobs and corporate sponsors D nonprofit organizations and corporate sponsors 36 What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A Doing the voluntary work that you’re not good at is not a good idea B Volunteering is a perfect time to change your weak points into the new good ones C Keeping contacts with corporate sponsors will help you to have a good-paid job in the future D It’s ideal for graduates to choose the positions similar to the jobs they have learnt 37 The phrase “marketable skills” in the last paragraph mostly means A the practical skills you can learn from selling things at the markets B the technical skills for a particular job C the useful skills that make an employer want to give you a job D the skills you have been taught at schools Your answers: 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 Part For questions 38 -50, read the following passage and the tasks that follow THE VALUE OF HANDWRITING Section A ‘When I was in school in the 1970s,’ says Tammy Chou, ‘my end-of-term report included Handwriting as a subject alongside Mathematics and Physical Education, yet, by the time my brother started, a decade later, it had been subsumed into English I learnt two scripts: printing and cursive, *while Chris can only print.’ The 2013 Common Core, a curriculum used throughout most of the US, requires the tuition of legible writing (generally printing) only in the first two years of school; thereafter, teaching keyboard skills is a priority Section B ‘I work in recruitment,’ continues Chou ‘Sure, these days, applicants submit a digital CV and cover letter, but there’s still information interviewees need to fill out by hand, and I still judge them by the Tiếng Anh THPT – Bảng B neatness of their writing when they so Plus there’s nothing more disheartening than receiving a birthday greeting or a condolence card with a scrawled message.’ Section C Psychologists and neuroscientists may concur with Chou for different reasons They believe childrenerent reasons They believe children learn to read faster when they start to write by hand, and they generate new ideas and retain information better Karin James conducted an experiment at Indiana University in the US in which children who had not learnt to read were shown a letter on a card and asked to reproduce it by tracing, by drawing it on another piece of paper, or by typing it on a keyboard Then, their brains were scanned while viewing the original image again Children who had produced the freehand letter showed increased neural activity in the left fusiform gyrus, the inferior frontal gyrus, and the posterior parietal cortex – areas activated when adults read or write, whereas all other children displayed significantly weaker activation of the same areas James speculates that in handwriting, there is variation in the production of any letter, so the brain has to learn each personal font – each variant of ‘F’, for example, that is still ‘F’ Recognition of variation may establish the eventual representation more permanently than recognizing a uniform letter printed by computer Victoria Berninger at the University of Washington studied children in the first two grades of school to demonstrate that printing, cursive, and keyboarding are associated with separate brain patterns Furthermore, children who wrote by hand did so much faster than the typists, who had not been taught to touch type Not only did the typists produce fewer words but also the quality of their ideas was consistently lower Scans from the older children’s brains exhibited enhanced neural activity when their handwriting was neater than average, and, importantly, the parts of their brains activated are those crucial to working memory Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer have shown in laboratories and live classrooms that tertiary students learn better when they take notes by hand rather than inputting via keyboard As a result, some institutions ban laptops and tablets in lectures and prohibit smartphone photography of lecture notes Mueller and Oppenheimer also believe handwriting aids contemplation as well as memory storage Section D Some learners of English whose native script is not the Roman alphabet have difficulty in forming several English letters: the lower case ‘b’ and ‘d’, ‘p’ and ‘q’, ‘n’ and ‘u’, ‘m’ and ‘w’ may be confused This condition afferent reasons They believe childrenects a tiny minority of first-language learners and sufferent reasons They believe childrenerers of brain damage Called dysgraphia, it appears less frequently when writers use cursive instead of printing, which is why cursive has been posited as a cure for dyslexia Section E Berninger is of the opinion that cursive, endangered in American schools, promotes self-control, which printing may not, and which typing – especially with the ‘delete’ function – unequivocally does not In a world saturated with texting, where many have observed that people are losing the ability to filter their thoughts, a little more restraint would be a good thing A rare-book and manuscript librarian, Valerie Hotchkiss, worries about the cost to our heritage as knowledge of cursive fades Her library contains archives from the literary giants Mark Twain, Marcel Proust, HG Wells, and others If the young generation does not lea cursive, its ability to decipher older documents may be compromised, and culture lost Section F Paul Bloom, from Yale University, is less convinced about the long-term benefits of handwriting In the 1950s – indeed in Tammy Chou’s idyllic 1970s – when children spent hours practising their copperplate, Tiếng Anh THPT – Bảng B what were they doing with it?
