have heard from one another I am sorry for not writing to you for so long, but you know we are all busy with preparing for the coming GCSE I am writing today to tell you about my greatest ever idol who has great influence on me You know, anyone has his variety of acquaintances, friends, relatives, teachers, or partners among whom one may have the one that creates greatest ever impression on him I also have one in my life I must say that my life would not have been as good as it is today if I did not meet Mr Jimmy It happened to me when I was a lower secondary student, at grade exactly I remember well that I was a very bad boy at that time I seemed to be good for nothing at all I always got bad marks for school subjects as well as I got fined daily My teachers got very disappointed, my parents felt ashamed as I was very often mentioned as a bad example at school My classmates found ways to keep away form me I felt so lonely and hopeless Then Mr Jimmy, my new Maths teacher, who came from the neighbouring school, appeared After having had a talk with me and my parents, he agreed to be my private tutor It was so strange that he did not teach me lessons right away, he made ways to be my friend instead He spared time to get to know my difficulties, helped me to gain me confidence, let me believe in what I could Gradually, I realized what to do, how to And the most important thing I learned from him is that I was the only one to be responsible for my own thoughts, actions and life He encouraged me when I felt tired, lonely or daunted He gave me belief and strength to stand right on my own feets Finally, I got to know the meaning of life To tell the truth, I feel so happy to have a great teacher like Mr Jimmy Without him, I could not have overcome all life obstacles I really hope that you will spare time to let me know about your idols in life I am looking forward to hearing from you soon Love, Tom TOPIC : The invention of the Internet has had negative effects on our children Apart from marvelous things that the invention of the Internet offers human beings, however, it also brings lots of negative effects on our children First, Internet, with its fascinating power, makes children sink into oblivion Children are growing up addicted to the Internet They are so absorbed in magic games on the Internet that they neglect their duty towards their schoolwork They are too lazy to homework and prepare their lessons Second, the Internet is also one of the causes that lead children to commit crimes Many children are so keen on the Internet that they gradually become internet addicts They overspend their money on games while they are unable to earn As the results, these children are easy to become the robbers, thieves, and even murders Final, the Internet also causes health problems to children Everyday, they spend much time on the Internet so their eyes become weaker and weaker As a result, more and more children have to wear glasses On the other hand, many children fall ill after using too much time on internet They forget their regular meals and they are ill and even mad In sum, Internet has great influence on children in both active and negative side It would be great if we know how to control our children and don’t let them overuse it TOPIC 3: Write about a sporting event you saw recently To welcome the 84th anniversay of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Foundation Day – March th 26 , a friedly football match was held last Sunday at our school football field Our school Female Students’ Football Team played against the neighbouring school’s one It was a really nice Sunday morning then, the sun was shining brightly, the wind was blowing slightly The football field where the match took place was previously well-decorated Red flags could be seen along the roads from our school gate passing the school play ground to the gym then to the football ground, together with numerous slogans, posters, and of course pictures of the two teams and individual players Then came the most important moment of the day when the two teams entered the field from the changing rooms, following the two headmasters of the two schools, and the referees Spectators including the teaching staffs, students, education workers of the two schools and the neighboring residents all burst into applauses to welcome the players As soon as the game began, spectators started cheering and shouting for one side or the other Others sang and danced, some even called out the players’ names with love and pride The crowd kept discussing and commentating happily On the first half, our team played much better to score two goal to lead the guest The football field seemed to be filled with applauses and bravos when the first and then the second goal were scored by the two different home strikers The players of the two teams played so well that it made spectators forget the time as the referee blew his whistle to finish the first half When the second half came the guest players played much better and scored a goal The players still played enthusiastically but no more goal was scored The match ended with the winning score of 2-1 for the home team It was a very happy weekend day for us all and it was, in my opinion, the best game I have ever watched We all agreed that such sporting event brought us closer together, made us feel relaxed and we very much felt confident and proud of our school TOPIC 4: Write an essay to discuss the benefits of doing exercise Health, for long, has been considered to be the most valuable thing one possesses Improving health is always a prior task in one’s daily routine And the simplest, cheapest, but the most effective way to better one’s health is doing regular exercise In other words, exercising gives us certain benefits One advantage of doing exercise is to reduce stress People who exercise are likely to feel more relaxed, healthier, and of course happier Doing regular exercise helps the body produce more happy chemicals that make the exercisers reduce the worries about life and work as well as forget the boredom and unhappiness Another benefit exercising brings us is that we will feel more energetic to face and overcome our daily difficulties Doing exercise helps us reduce the possibilities of being ill, protects us from some fatal diseases as heart disease, cancers and diabetes Regular exercisers are believed to have healthier, happier and longer lives The other good thing we are to mention about exercise is that doing exercise helps us feel more selfconfident We discover ourselves when taking part in sport events We know exactly what we can or what abilities, talents we possess It is obvious that we will think positively, confidently, and lead an optimistic life if we practice exercising regularly Controlling our weight effectively is another value of doing exercise also Perspiration ocuurs when we exercise, which helps our bodies get rid of bad things inside Fats are burnt during our practicing exercise, which helps us to keep fit Or, we can say we are free from being overweight with frequent exercise To sum up, doing exercise enables people to have good body-buildings, keep fit and brings exercisers many benefits Sparing time doing exercise will ensure us a longer, healthier and happier life TOPIC 05: Write about the causes of the fact that families now are not as close-knit as they were in the past It is widely believed that home is where love dwells and that east or west home is the best That means family is so important to any of us that we hardly grow up without the care from family members It is also true that the social, economic changes make the traditional family formulas vary Although different people have different points of view on the matters, we all agree that families now are not as close-knit as they used to be The cuases are various, but we can count for the three main points below The first cause is that in our modern life we all seem to have so busy lives and dynamic lifestyles People now are so busy with working, earning, getting promotions, taking part in social activities, etc People are likely to have longer working hours because of their demand of earning more and more People seem to be never satisfied with what they have In families, under the economic pressure, both parents work so they have less time for themselves as well as for other family members Another cause is that due to the explosion of modern technologies people are more interested in their online lives than interacting with other family members It is sometimes thought that people seem to isolate themselves with their mobilephones, tablets, personal computers, and other information technological devices Having different viewpoints is the other cause of course The generation gaps sometimes cause misunderstandings or even debates Information technology also brings opportunities to diverse viewpoints within family members Having different opinions pulls people far from one another Above all, though changes of traditional families are unavoidable, we are to shorten the gaps among family members to be as close-knit as possible Because family life is very important to any individual, each member must be responsible for bringing all family members closer together TOPIC 6: Write to describe your all-time favorite movie In life, although I have several hobbies, watching movies is the one I am more interested in I have watched countless films so far, but BẾN KHÔNG CHỒNG, a product of VFC (Vietnam Film Corporation) in 2001, is the one that has created the biggest impression on me ever since The film 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 transquil poor farming village in the North The main characters are Mr Van, a veteran, a seceteary of the village’s Communist Youth Union named Hanh, the two widows and the villagers The story happens right inside the village to the bank of a no-name-river having a namely Khong Chong river five-step-wharf After serving in the army Van came back to his village in which there were only old villagers together with almost widows, girls and very few disabled men When Van returned, he was appointed head of the village armed group which consisted of around six armed girls including Hanh – Van’s former sweetheart’s daughter Van lived under the same roof with a land-lord widow and her 16 year-old son Van was then admired by all the villagers, so he tried his best to meet the residents’ expectations Though sometimes the mid-forties man felt lonely, he tried not to wrong thing especially on sex Time passed, peace was then established with the unification declaration, the village was still under the misery of the war unhappiness Hanh married to an Army captain, but had no child for long Debates and conflicts occurred, which made Hanh left her husband So disappointed, and hopeless, she entered Van’s hut by a showery night The two thirsty unhappy persons met, and then Hanh was pregnant Unable to live with the villagers’ prejudise, Van and Hanh left the homeland, and finally Van killed himself by the river wharf Ben Khong Chong The scenes in the movie are colorful and interesting, typical for a North Vietnam’s rural village The story is touching and rather mournful The acting of the main characters are excellent as they are all famous actors and actresses The film leaves us valuable lessons in life, and helps us know more about the rural life courtesy I must say that it is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life ĐỀ THI TUYỂN SINH ĐẠI HỌC NĂM

of the questions from to 15 In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business He was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard That was the first photograph The next important date in the history of photography was 1837 That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio He used a new kind of camera and a different process In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains In about 1840, the process was improved Then photographers had to carry lots of film and moving things The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer He took many portraits of famous people The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities They made the war seem more real and more terrible In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography Photographers could buy film ready-made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves Also, they did not have to process the film immediately They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later They did not have to carry lots of equipment And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer People began to use cameras just for fun They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places They called these pictures “snapshots” Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s Soon magazines and books also used them These pictures showed true events and people They were much more real than drawings Some people began to think of photography as a form of art They thought that photography could more than show the real world It

A The fluid will expand the object and overflow to the floor B It receives a download force, equal to the weight of the fluid displaced C It receives an upward force, equal to the weight of the fluid displaced D It will be pushed further down with a force, equal to the weight of the fluid displaced Q 57: The word “volume” in the passage refers to A lenght B quantity C frequency D loudness Q 58: The word “displaces” in the passage almost means “ _” A replaces with a new one B takes the place of C takes place D puts in position Q 59: If an object’s average density is less than that of water, the object will _ A drift B float C inflate D.sink Q 60: A block of wood with a density seven tenths that of water will _ A go up and down the sink B sink immediately when submerged C float with an equal volume of its volume under water D float with a half of its volume under water Q 61: A ship floats, whereas a block of iron of the same mass sinks because the ship _ A has a special shape B is made of wood C has buoys D is lighter Q 62: The phrase “six tenths” in the passage means “ _” A 10 of B and 10 C 10/6 D 6/10 Q 63: The word “upthrust” in the passage refers to the _ A upside-down turn B upturned force C upward push D upper side of an object Q 64: Ships cannot be so heavily loaded if they want to sail in fresh water as they sail in the sea, because _ A sea water is ‘saltier’ than fresh water B fresh water is more polluted C fresh water is ‘lighter’ than sea water D there’s too much salt in sea water Q 65: Archimedes’ Principle explains why _ A objects seem lighter in water B
