A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights and measures The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who kept these standards in a temple in Rome All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in Spain or in Syria But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards disappeared Today, standards vary from place to place throughout the world Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example, are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to paying They complain that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States Then they discover that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon Is it a different kind of gas?
No, it is a different kind of gallon Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United States gallon Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries But Canada’s quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States The imperial gallon equals 277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches Measured in ounces, Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128 fluid ounces From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation

TOPIC: Write about the formal school education system in Vietnam.
The current formal school education system in Vietnam, as we all know, consists of three levels; pre-school, primary and secondary educations Secondary education is divided into lower and upper stage Now, in some provinces especially in cities, there are two parallel school systems in pre-school, primary or even secondary education; state and private schools Tuition fees are different very much from state to private schools In both systems, the academic year, from early September to late May, is divided into two semesters consisting of four to five months each
Children usually start their pre-school at the age of three, when they go to the nurseries but this stage is not compulsory When children reach the age of six, they must go to primary schools The primary education lasts five years with 5 grades; from grade 1 to grade 5 After having finished primary education, children can go to lower secondary schools from grade 6 to grade 9 Children who complete lower secondary may be accepted to upper secondary schools which last three years with 3 grades; ten to twelve It depends on the locality that children have to take the entrance examination to be upper secondary students Children finish the school education when they finish grade 12 Often, at the end of upper secondary education, student have to take the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), the requirement to go to university or college, The GCSE used to take place in early June, but this year in early July
