The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level (6) for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate

society,’ so as to take (7) in that society The United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written’ materials (8) with varying contexts Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an Individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his, or her (9) and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society."

Many policy analysts consider literacy rates a crucial measure of a region's human capital This claim is made on the (10) that literate people can be trained less expensively than illiterate people, generally have a higher socio-economic (11) and enjoy better health and employment prospects Policy makers

also argue that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher education In Kerala, India, for

example, female and child mortality rates declined (12) in the 1960s, when girls who were educated in

the education reforms after 1948 began to raise families Recent researchers, (13) , argue that

correlations such as, the one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather than literacy in general Regardless, the (14) of educational systems worldwide includes a basic (15) around communication through test and print, which is the foundation of most definitions of literacy Question 6: A adaptable B suitable C adequate D important

The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years

Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information For all of the

Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking

for creative solutions Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous

security concerns, the most crucial is speed

First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet In 1996, over 50 million people used it Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet

doubles The rapid growth has been a problem The computer systems which run the Internet have not been

able to keep up with the demand Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained A request for information made in Paris might have to go

through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information Consequently, the service is often slow and unpredictable Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is

busiest - during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service

the most

Trang 4

Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as to avoid this problem In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as

Internet II Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use Since it is more specialized, fewer users are allowed access Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased

Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II Many businesses are creating their own “Intranets” These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company In theory,

fewer users should translate into a faster system Intranets are very useful for large national and international

companies whose branches need to share information Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable

service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks

Sự ra đời của Internet có thê là một trong những phát triển công nghệ quan trọng nhất trong những năm gần

đây Chưa bao giờ lại có nhiều nguwofđ tiếp cận nhiều nguôn thông tin khác nhau đến như vậy Tuy nhiên,

bên cạnh tất cả những lợi thế của Internet, giờ đây mọi nguoi cũng đang nhận thấy một số nhược điểm của nó

và đang tìm kiếm các giải pháp sáng tạo Trong sô các vần đề hiện nay, bao gồm độ thiếu tin cậy và rất nhiều

môi lo ngại về an ninh, điều quan trọng nhất là tốc độ

Trước hết, Internet đã phát triển rất nhanh Vào năm 1990, chỉ có 1 vài học giả từng nghe về Internet Đến năm 1996, đã có hơn 50 triệu người sử dụng Internet Hàng năm, số lượng người truy cập vào Internet tăng gấp đôi Sự tăng trưởng nhanh chóng là một van đề Các hệ thống máy tính chạy Internet đã không thé theo kịp với nhu cầu Ngoài ra, đôi khi, một yêu cầu thông tin phải đi qua nhiều máy tính định tuyến trước khi có

thể thu được thông tin Một yêu cầu thông tin được thực hiện tại Paris có thê phải đi qua máy tính ở New York, Los Angeles va Tokyo để có được những thông tin cần thiết Do đó, dịch vụ này thường chậm và khơng

thể đốn trước Dịch vụ cũng có xu hướng tôi tệ hơn khi Internet vào thời điểm bận rộn nhất - trong ngày kinh

doanh ở Tây bán cầu - đó cũng là khi các công ty cần dịch vụ nhất

Một số người đang cỗ găng khai thác sức mạnh của các máy tính được nối mạng theo cách đẻ tránh vấn đề

này Vào năm 1995, một nhóm các trường đại học ở Hoa Kỳ đã liên kết với nhau để thành lập một hệ thống được biết đến với tên gọi Internet II Internet II là một hệ thống chuyên biệt hơn, nhỏ hơn nhằm mục đích sử

dụng cho học thuật Vì chuyên biệt hơn nên ít người được phép truy cập Nhờ đó, thời gian cần thiết để nhận được thông tin giảm xuống

Các doanh nghiệp đang bắt đầu khám phá một mơ hình máy tính tương tự như Internet II Nhiều doanh nghệp

đang tạo ra mạng nội bộ của riêng mình Đây là những hệ thông mà chỉ các thành viên trong cùng công ty có

thể sử dụng Về lý thuyết, ít người sử dụng dong nghĩa với một hệ thống nhanh hơn Mạng nội bộ rất hữu ích

đối với các công ty lớn hay công ty tầm cỡ quốc tế có nhiều chi nhanh cần phải chia sẻ thông tin Một lợi ích khác của mạng nội bộ là mức độ an tồn gia tăng Vì chỉ có nhân viên trong cơng ty mới có quyền truy cập thông tin trên mạng nội bộ, thông tin được bảo mật, tránh bị đối thủ cạnh tranh lẫy cắp Trong khi có rất ít

nghi ngờ rằng Internet cuối cùng sẽ là một dịch vụ nhanh chóng và đáng tin cậy, các ngành công nghiệp và

cộng đồng khoa học đã có những bước riêng để tạo ra các hệ thống toàn cầu thực tế hơn

Question 56: According to the passage, which of the following is not true of the Internet ?

C Internet data proved to be impractical | D Few people were using the Internet

Question 58: According to the author, what is one reason why the Internet is sometimes slow?

A Phone lines are often too busy with phone calls and fax transmissions to handle Internet traffic

B Most people do not have computers that are fast enough to take advantage of the Internet

C Often a request must travel through many computers before it reaches its final destination D Scientists take up too much time on the Internet , thus slowing it down for everyone else

Question 59: The word “ obtained” in line 10 is closest in meaning to

A understood B acquired C purchased D distributed

Question 60: The word “ harness” in line 15 is closest in meaning to

A utilize B disguise C steal D block

IT, TOPIC: Write to discuss the opinion that women make better women than men

Women for long are said to be more suited for being mothers and housewives That means the natural roles of women for many people are child-bearing and home-making only That is why there exists the opinion that women make better parents than men

Naturally, many people agree that women have better intuitive intelligence than men Women are

better at reading the children’s signals, so they can easily satisfy children’s needs They also have better

emotional understanding of what the kids are going through In addition, women have a closer bond with

their children They create that during the nine months pregnancy and the early period of child rearing It is

true that on average women spend more time than men on child rearing and care taking Commonly, men tend

to be out to work a lot and they seem to spend little time with their children Significantly, breeding makes the

relation between women and their children more close-knit

On the contrary, there are many single fathers who can totally dedicate their lives to their children

And, according to some researches, children of single mothers tend to have more chance of crime It is also

true that no one come to parenthood and immediately knows everything Learning and practicing can help fathers perform as well as mothers Moreover, men and women bring different benefits to their children People believe that fathers can teach their children better than mothers in many ways Commonly, children regard their fathers as more energetic, strong-willed, and ambitious whereas mothers as more kind-hearted, sensitive, and emotional

To sum up, there are different good things women and men can do for their children It is obvious that parents who love their children can do their tasks well, and both fathers and mothers give their children good things

to some extent It will be lucky and far better for a child to be brought up by both good father and mother Parents should join hands to give their children good life and education - THE END

So

IT TOPIC: Write to describe your life in the 20 years’ time

It is obvious that no one knows for sure what his tomorrow will be like, but he can make guesses For me, it is likely that my 20 years’ time life will be very different from what it is now

Take work first for example, I think I will get a good job which I very much want to do There is a tendency that I will start up my own business then I may invest in stock market and make a great fortune I will at that time be satisfied with what I earn, and never worry about financial matters

Studying will change, too In 20 years’ time, it is likely that I will take various professional courses, and

I tend to have several MA or PhD degrees in some different fields such as economy, education, and culture I

will probably enroll in different courses to get higher and higher diplomas

For lifestyle, I hope I will have balanced diets, live healthily and actively I may get married to the one I

love and we plan to have one or two kids I will spend as much time for my family as possible We will travel to

different countries in the world on our yearly holiday of course We will also afford weekly or monthly trips to

beauty spots throughout the country

In the future, I will live in a big house with modernly-equipped living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen, toilets

and an open air space garden in front of a four-car garage As I love animals very much, I will raise some pets

in my house including some different kinds of dogs, cats, parrots, doves, and others

Transportation means are also my concern I will then own some most fashionable hybrid luxurious cars to use in different occasions I will travel by air whenever travelling in distances

In my dream, I am likely to keep in touch with all high school and university friends There will always be available most up-to-date means of communications for me to have good relationships with relatives, friends, colleagues, partners, or even acquaintances

Naturally, the future is not ours to see, but we have rights lo lead our own life, to shape our thinking, to build up our future As I am an optimistic and dynamic man, I will try my best to realize my dreams to make our wishes become true someday

Curious as it may sound , this relationship in many respects comes close to that between history and literature Economics, after all, is the science (in the bread meaning of the term) of something which men actually do Even if the science did not exist, men would still make economic decisions, economic predictions, and participate in the various forms of economics organization which , in part, it is the economist’s function to

describe Similarly, the disciplined study of literature is concerned with something which men would also do

anyway even if the disciplined study did not exist: compose poems, act out dramas, write novels, and read

them Political science, or the discipline of politics, has, it is true, many similarities to economics, particularly where it is concerned with generalization about political structures

Il, TOPIC: Write to suggest measures governments and individuals can take to reduce the global warming

It was reported recently by the U.S scientists that the volume of ice on the North Pole is now the

smallest within 36 last years That is caused by the global warming process Various other bad things human beings are now facing are also related to the warming of the Earth climate The fact is that we are the main

agents who are responsible for the worsening of the nature So, individuals and governments throughout the

world should co-operate to stop the natural environment worsening process

Each individual first must be more aware of the need to protect our environment for not only our own

lives but also the next generations The first easy thing one can do is to save the energy by using less heat and

air-conditioning, using energy-efficient products, or even driving less Another way is to recycle paper,

plastic, newspaper, glass, etc When the recycling is practiced, it helps to reduce the carbon dioxide in the

atmosphere The other thing is to plant more trees because as we know, trees can absorb carbon dioxide and

give off oxygen The fact is that the mission is not done by one or a group of persons so we should educate the

community and encourage everyone to join hands to recycle and conserve energy

Countries all over the world, rich or poor, developed, developing or underdeveloped should co- operate to better the situation First of all, governments are better to inform their citizens about the global warming facts and the mishaps that people may face if the process goes on Then, in order to reduce the emissions, governments should impose heavier taxes on the produce of greenhouse gas emissions Factories and companies that over-emit may not be allowed to operate or even be closed Moreover, bigger sums of money must be spent on researches discovering the alternative sources of energy Additionally, stricter laws on environmental problems should be passed and enforced to better the surroundings for people to live

After all, the work to recover the environment and to stop the global warming process cannot be done overnight or completed by one person or one nation, we, human beings all over the world, must co-act to share the missions Though this is the international millennium goals, each individual can do something now to help to realize man’s purpose

IT TOPIC: Write an essay to discuss the opinion that arts should or shouldn’t be taught in high schools There have existed debates whether arts be taught in high schools People who support the ideals find it necessary that high school students know as much about arts as possible In contrast, the protestors think teaching arts to high school students is really a waste of time and money

It is generally said by the supporters that studying arts benefits high school students several ways The first good thing is that arts help students have background knowledge of not only the nation but the world cultures and history Another benefit is that arts equip students with many necessary skills such as, creative thinking, observing, problem solving, and critical thinking People who want arts to be taught to high school students also agree that arts are very fun and interesting to learn We can say in other words arts are attractive to any learners The other advantage of arts is that learning arts help students to build team spirit and community as art activities can be done in groups Moreover, arts enable students to socialize and students become more and more civilized and responsible

In contrast, protestors believe that there is not enough time for teachers to cover all kinds of subjects at school So they should focus on core subjects like Maths, foreign languages and physics, etc to save time and money arts should only be elective, not compulsory subjects Furthermore, students can learn more about arts via media and arts are then their leisure activities Additionally, arts, in the protestors’ opinion, should

be taught by parents as they may understand their children’s ability and talents better

To conclude, there are different opinions that arts should or shouldn’t be taught in high schools Each

side has reasonable explanations to convince and prove the points of view For me, we can hardly be civilized

without knowledge of arts Sooner or later, in my opinion, arts should be taught to students to help them

enrich their knowledge, to discover their talents to better their own lives

Native Americans from the southeastern part of what is now the United States believed that the universe

in which they lived was made up of three separate, but related, worlds, the Upper World, the Lower World, and This World In the last there lived humans, most animals, and all plants

This World, a round island resting on the surface of waters, was suspended from the sky by four cords — DUONG NOI attached to the island at the four cardinal- CHINH points of the compass Lines drawn to

connect the opposite points of the compass, from north to south and from east to west, intersected This World to divide it into four wedge - shaped segments Thus a symbolic representation of the human world was a

cross within a circle, the cross representing the intersecting lines and the circle the shape of This World Each segment of This World was identified by its own color According to Cherokee doctrine- HOC THUYET, east was associated with the color red because it was the direction of the Sun, the greatest deity of all Red was also the color of fire, believed to be directly connected with the Sun, with blood, and therefore with life Finally, red was the color of success The west was the Moon segment; it provided no warmth and

was not life - giving as the Sun was So its color was black North was the direction of cold, and so its color

Trang 27

was blue sometimes purple, and it represented trouble and defeat South was the direction of warmth, its color,

white, was associated with peace and happiness

The southeastern Native Americans' universe was one in which opposites were constantly at war with

each other, red against black, blue against white This World hovered somewhere between the perfect order

and predictability of the Upper World and the total disorder and instability of the Lower World The goal was

to find some kind of halfway path, or balance, between those other worlds

Question 42 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

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

Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep Music is indeed

remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps for that very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it From discoveries made in France and Slovenia even Neanderthal man, as long as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal bones It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system — an ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily speaking, and ene that we share with much of the animal kingdom Some researchers

even propose that music came into this world long before the human race ever did For example, the fact that

whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans They assert that rather than being the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene

Humpback -GU whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out of

several phrases before singing the next one Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony movements, perhaps because they have a similar attention span Even though they can sing over a range of seven octaves,

Trang 28

the whales typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale They mix percussive

and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers — and follow their ABA form, in which a

theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form Perhaps most amazing,

humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme It has been suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember Whale songs can also be rather catchy When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed into the Pacific, some of the whales they

met there quickly changed their tunes — singing the new whales’ songs within three short years Some

scientists are even tempted to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery

Question 55 Why did the author write the passage? A To describe the music for some animals, including

humans

B To illustrate the importance of music to whales C To show that music is not a human or even modern invention

D To suggest that music is independent of life forms that use it Question 56 The word “sophisticated” in line 5 is closest in meaning to

A complex B intricate C well-developed D entangled Question 57 The word “one” in line 7 can be replaced by _

A the chord B the left brain C the right brain D the limbic system Question 58 According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of humpback whales _

A their tunes are distinctively different from human tunes B they can sing over a range of seven

octaves

C they do not use rhyme, unlike humans D whale songs of a particular group cannot be learned by other whales

Question 59 The word “they” in line 18 refers to

A human composers B whole songs C octaves D whales Question 60 Which of the following is NOT true about humpback whale music?

A It uses similar patterns to human songs B It’s comparative in length to symphony movements C It’s easy to learn by other whales D It’s in a form of creating a theme, elaborating and revisiting

in rhyming refrains

Question 61 The word “refrains” in line 22 is closest in meaning to

A tunes B notes C musical phrases D sounds

Question 62 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A The earliest human beings came from France and Slovenia B Music helped to shape the whale brain

C Humpback whales imitate the way human composers in creating their own music

D The research of musical brain will lead to a discovery of a universal music Question 63 Where in the passage does the author first mention whales?

A Lines 5-9 B Lines 10-14 C Lines 15-19 D Lines 20-24 Question 64 The word ‘their’ in line 24 refers to

A Indian Ocean humpbacks B Pacific Ocean humpbacks C all whales D whale songs PHAN TU LUAN: (2 diém)

II Topic: Do we really need to have a good boss?

Trang 29

Even though job situations can be very different, there are several qualities that all good supervisors

have in common A good boss treats all her employees fairly She doesn't single out one employee for better

(or worse) treatment than the others A poor supervisor has favorites

Sometimes she'll even use her favorites to spy on other employees She expects them to tell her what

the others are saying about her This can cause a lot of bad feelings among employees A good supervisor

gives clear and understandable directions, She doesn't constantly change her mind about what she wants

employees to do She also doesn't get angry with an employee who is confused and needs her to explain the

directions again or more fully Delegating authority well is another quality of a good supervisor She knows how to use the skills of her employees to best advantage A poor supervisor insists on doing everything herself She is unwilling to give any authority to others

A good boss evaluates her employees on a reasonable set of criteria, not on how she feels about them personally, And she lets the employees know what those criteria are, so they have a fair chance of meeting them She gives both praise and criticism in a straightforward manner She also offers guidance when needed A poor supervisor will criticize without giving any suggestions on how to improve Most importantly, a good supervisor sets the standards for her employees by her own behavior She works hard and treats employees like valuable assets to the company This promotes good morale among her workers, and this is of great benefit to her business

Ask anyone over forty to make a comparison (26) between the past and the present and nine (27) out of ten people will tell you that things have been getting (28) steadily worse for as long as they can remember Take the weather for example, which has been behaving rather strangely lately Everyone remembers that in their childhood the summers were(29) considerably hotter, and that winter always included abundant falls of snow just when the school holidays had started Of course, the food in those days was far superior too, as

nothing was imported and everything was fresh Unemployment was negligible, the pound really was worth

something, and you could buy a sizeable house even if your means were limited And above all, people were

(30) somehow better in those days, far more friendly, not inclined to crime or violence, and spent their free time

making model boats and tending their stamp collections (31)_rather than gazing at the television screen for hours on end As we know that this picture of the past (32)_simply cannot be true, and there are plenty of statistics dealing with health and prosperity which prove that it is not true, why is it that we all have a (33) tendency to idealize the past ? Is this simply nostalgia? Or is it rather that we need to believe in an image of the world which is (34) quite the opposite of what we see around us? Whichever it is, at least it leaves us with a nagging feeling that the present could be better, and perhaps (35) encourages us to be a little more critical about the way we live

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

Etymologically- TU NGUYEN, anthropology- NHAN LOAI HOC is the science of humans In fact, however, it is only

one of the sciences of humans, bringing together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human

beings and explain them on the basis of the biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they

are distributed and to emphasize, through time, the differences and variations of these populations The concept of race, on

the one hand, and that of culture, on the other, have received special attention; and although their meaning is still subject to

debate, these terms are doubtless the most common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary

Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of Discovery

had opened up societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West In fact, the field

of research was at first restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage- HOANG," "primitive," "tribal," "traditional," or even "preliterate- TIEN VAN TU," "ore-historical,” and so on What such societies had in common, above all, was being the most "different" or the most foreign to the anthropologist; and in

the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were always European or North American The distance between

the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic of anthropological research; it has been said of

the anthropologist that he was the "astronomer of the sciences of man."

Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies Their research extends not only to village communities within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises Nevertheless, anthropology's first field of research, and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specific point of view with

regard to the other sciences of man and defined its theme If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about

patterns of human behavior seen in all their dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace Thus they are easier to see whole

What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural

characteristics of man? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study of

man's biological characteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics The reasons for this split are manifold,

I TOPIC: In today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both parents to go out to work While some say the children in these families benefit from the traditional income, others feel they lack support because of their parents’ absence Discuss both these views and give your own opinions

In the business-driven culture nowadays, in order to adopt all of the so-called symbols of advanced life, in many families; both parents have to work hard all day long for their children to enjoy the best It’s true that those children benefit from the joint income and the same, those grew up lacking parental support, and this practice is creating a negative feedback loop

On the first note, one of the external influences on a child’s development is economic status; children in impoverished or low-income families are, often times, more prone to emotional difficulties than other children because parents have limited resources to address the children’s needs as an asset to a child’s overall development Therein, the income of parents is directly influential in the quality of care as well as of life a child has So out of the love for their children, willy-nilly, both parents have no choice but work outside

However, gaining higher economic status does not guarantee better child development, in return to this, something must be lost Parents with the help of close emotional bonds with children will be able to enhance a child’s motivation to comply with rules and requests and is associated with positive long term-outcomes so that they will grow up more independent, emphatic, and socially competent Secure attachments to parents will underpin a child for positive, self-fulfilling expectations about other people which he will take into future relationships

Trang 35

In an evolving culture where parents spend more time working and less time with their child, the child’s overall development is the one to suffer- the long-term implications of which not yet fully realized Yet, it is important to step back and consider the quality of the current cultural environment and the ill-developed children it may produce, obviously this leads to the disability to handle relationships and the child fail to function better both socially and professionally, and this may impact generation after generation

Children need their parents to be affectionate, caring beings, whether working parent or stay-home parent; it doesn’t matter much What really counts is that the parent loves the child, fosters secure attachments with her child and fathoms of what the child’s needs are Otherwise, it is society that bears the consequences; its citizens are all ill- developed ones

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours duwéng vién There are two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings” They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical- d6i xing and “the right way up” Conversely, fish such as plaice- ca bon, sole, and halibut have

become flat in a different way There are bony fish- cd nhéu xuong which have a marked tendency to be

flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate lượn sóng through the water as they move Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies- However, this raises

the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless — In evolution

this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side We see this process of moving

around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish It starts life swimming near the surface, and

is symmetrical and vertically flattened , but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso- like vision Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either

Everybody has heard about the Internet, do you know that an “intranet” is? It is this: just as the Internet connects people around the world, intranets connect people within a (51) single company In fact,

intranets make use of the same software programs as the Internet to (52) contact computers and people This

(53)_means that you do not have to buy a lot of additional programs to set up an intranet service If your

intranet is working properly, it can link together a huge amount of (54)_information which is stored in

different places in the company In this way, people can get the information they need, regardless (55) of

where it comes from A company intranet can, of course, be used for unimportant information like office memos or canteen menus But an intranet should (56) provide important information which people need to

make decision about new products, costs and so on The intranet is (57) willing to share their information with

other people (58) Unfortunately, many departments don’t want to share their specialist knowledge with

others Another problem which often occurs is (59) that top managers like to use the intranet to “

communicate down” rather than to “ communicate across” That is, they use the intranet to give orders, not to

II TOPIC: Write to describe your all-time favorite book

In life, although I have several hobbies, reading books is the one I am more interested in I have read countless books so far, but THOI XA VANG (THE FARAWAY TIME), a romance novel written by one of the most Vietnamese 20 century famous and beloved novelists LE LUU, is the one that has created the greatest impression on me ever since

The story is set in the time of our war against the American troops in the South to unify the country and the construction to build a communist country in the North The ground of the story is in a tranquil poor farming village in the North The main characters are GIANG MINH SAI, a village schoolboy a veteran then

a brick-works manager, a schoolgirl then a city dweller named HUONG, and some other characters

When still school students of about grade 8 (the first year high school at that time), SAI and HUONG had fallen in love with each other They harbored and norished a very romantic love, but modern at the time being, though the two families did not want them to be Growing up together in that poor village SAI and HUONG then chose the two different paths though their soul seemed to belong to each other HUONG furthered her study in a city bearing her sweetheart’s image and love, wishing to reunite one day SAI joined the army, devoted his life, and love to the national ideal targets, he even got married to the girl he could not share his bed Then came their old age, the two lovers bitterly realized that they had forgot their precious emotion for their day-dream goals

The scenes in the book are interesting poetic and romantic, typical for a young couple’s enthusiastic truthful, deep love The story is touching and rather sad The story leaves us valuable lessons in life, and helps us know more about the lifestyle of our ancestors I must say that it is one of the best and most moving novels I have ever read in my life
