Exercise 2: Give the right form of the word in each blanket in the following passage.
From what we had read in the (1 ADVERTISE) advertisement, it promise to be the holiday of
a lifetime – not only a quality hotel in a top (2 SEA) seaside resort, but also (3 SURPRISE) surprisingly cheap with it! We should have known it was too good to be true! We arrived at the airport to discover we only had (4 STAND) standby tickets and there was no guarantee we would
be flying Luckily, two places became free at the last minute and we took off The flight lasted at
least (5 TWO) twice as long as it should have and by the time we arrived, we were both feeling rather (6 POOR) poorly, probably because of the dubious in-flight meal we had had We were met
by our guide, who seemed (7 LANGUAGE) linguistically incompetent and understood very little of
what we said to him Instead of the hotel we had seen in the photograph back home, he took us to a
squalid little guesthouse much (8 FAR) farther / further away from the resort than we were expecting We wanted to explain that there had been a (9 DREAD) dreadful mistake but it was (10 USE) useless trying to complain – nobody could understand us.
Exercise 3: Give the right form of the word in each blanket in the following passage.
Centuries ago, when gold coins (1 EXCLUSIVE) exclusively were used as the money of nations and city-states, the (2 COMPARE) comparative value of each nation’s money was (3 DETERMINE) determined by the ratio of gold content of each coin Today, gold coins are “used” only by (4 COLLECT) collectors (5 NATION) national money is printed on paper Each country
has its own currency, with names such as pound, dollar, dong, yuan and so on (6 DECIDE)
Deciding the rate for the international exchange of money is one of the most complex, and to many (7 OBSERVE) observers, one of the most (8 FASCINATE) fascinating aspects of international banking Each major currency has a “par value” that is (9 USUAL) usually defined, (10 OFFICE) officially, in terms of gold
Exercise 4: Give the right form of the word in each blanket in the following passage.
One (1 CHARACTER) characteristic of the modern world is that people increasingly find
themselves living side by side with people from other cultures While in the past people withdifferent cultures were able to live quite (2 SEPARATE) separately, high mobility and freedom of
movement mean that we are more likely today to be confronted with people whose way the life is(3 FAMILIAR) unfamiliar to us In such circumstances, (4 RACE) racism is a real danger
People feel a tremendous (5 LOYAL) loyalty to their own culture, and are often unwilling to
develop an (6 APPRECIATE) appreciation of the positive aspects of other cultures They may feel
that another culture presents a threat to their own (7 INHERIT) heritage, one that could even lead
Trang 29to the (8 APPEAR) disappearance of certain aspects of their way of life Often, however, this threat
is more a matter of (9 PERCEIVE) perception than reality and different groups live in (10.
RELATE) relative harmony in many parts of the world.
Exercise 5: Give the right form of the word in each blanket in the following passage.
Before going to an interview, it is advisable to go through a mock interview This will giveyou the opportunity to try out your technique and answers live It is also a chance to receive
feedback that is (1 BENEFIT) beneficial in guiding you towards improving your interview style and general (2 PRESENT) presentation Just one mock interview will result in a (3 NOTICE) noticeable improvement in your interview skill Why? For the same reason that a (4 SPEAK) speech doesn’t exist while it is still on paper or floating in your head It only exists when you give it (5 ORAL) orally The first time you give it in front of an audience, it will come out nothing like the
one you prepared
It is the same with being interviewed It is not enough to look at a question and say, ‘Yeah, I knowthe answer to that one.’ You need to practise your answer live; this is not the time to talk to yourself
in front of a mirror Seek out a (6 PROFESSION) professional and have the session videotaped.
Then you will have two opinions – the interview’s and your own You will find you get a completely
different (7 IMPRESS) impression when listening to yourself than when you are watching yourself
saying something Just as your voice always sounds different on tape, so do your (8 RESPOND)
responses You will be glad the image is captured on tape and not in a potential employer’s mind For maximum effect, you should (9 VISIT) revisit your answers and go through a second mock interview This should help with any (10 EASE) unease and give you more confidence for the real
interview

Forests from an integral component of the (1 SPHERE) biosphere are essential to the (2 STABILITY) stabilization of global climate and the management of water and land They are home for (3 COUNT) countless plants and animals that are vital elements of our life-supporting systems,

fifth is mountains The another fifth does not have enough soil for crops to
grow because it is bare rock Obvious, with so little land to support us, we
