Viet Nam Likely to Face Extreme Weather Conditions by 2050
Viet Nam is likely to continue facing extreme weather conditions such as higher temperatures, lower summer rainfalls, stronger storms, and rising sea levels from now to
2050 Temperatures in northern Viet Nam will rise by between 0.83 degrees Celsius by 2050 and continue its uptrend during the late 21st century Summer rainfall will decline in most areas Meanwhile, storms may become rarer but fiercer, causing possible flash floods and landslides in flood-prone areas o f northern mountainous, central and central highland provinces The forecasts suggest sea level rises o f 100mm-400mm along the entire Vietnamese coast by the end o f the 21st century, affecting marine biodiversity and coastal communities The experts emphasize the unpredictability o f climate change and its potential impacts to create a variety o f dangerous extreme weather events in the future
To raise the public awareness of climate change impacts, the Vietnamese government urges concerned agencies to work together on devising worst-case scenario models and responses by 2020 and calls on international experts to further support Viet Nam in climate change adaptation Climate change is a real threat to Viet N am ’s socio-economic development If sea levels rose one meter, five percent o f the country’s land, eleven percent of its population and seven percent o f its farmland would be affected

Global w anning and cooling have occurred naturally throughout history But in the last
200 years, hum ans’ uses o f fossil fuels and clear cutting o f forests have increased the amount
o f carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere These gases trap some o f the radiation from the sun which then increases the Earth’s temperature Given the current state of environmental pollution caused by human activities, scientists believe the average temperature o f the earth may increase 1-2 degrees Celsius which put simply, means some places will get much hotter and some much colder At the same time, this overall warming effect means more frequent and more intense weather systems, especially in terms o f flooding
Viet Nam is one o f the most vulnerable environments due to its location on the planet It is already subject to some o f the earth’s most powerful weather systems and the increased frequency and intensity o f storms will affect it often and directly, especially in coastal areas where most people live
Various estimates have been made as to the possible impacts The most directly affected sector will be agriculture, which is very sensitive to flooding and the effects o f extreme weather
Viet Nam has the advantage o f coming relatively late into the industrialization, urbanization, and m odernization process This means it can avoid m any o f the mistakes made
by wealthier industrial countries For example, wireless communication networks can be built

C READING
I)-R ead the passage about further and higher education, and then answer the questions.
The difference between higher and further
education can be a com m on cause o f confusion
Further education is used to describe the education
that occurs following compulsory post-16
secondary education, which is usually distinct from
that offered in universities (higher education) It
includes a few different levels such as A-Levels
and Higher National Diplomas Foundation Degrees are also a type o f further education and take 2 years to complete compared with the 3-4 years o f most bachelor’s degrees which are offered by both universities and colleges Sometimes it is possible to extend a Foundation Degree to a bachelor’s degree, with one year or more o f extra study
Further education is usually taught in the sixth-form college part o f a school or in independent further education colleges, as well as in other work-based, adult and community learning institutions In the United States, further education is sometimes referred to as continuing education
Higher education primarily describes post-18 learning that takes place at universities, as well as other colleges and institutions that award academic degrees, and professional qualifications While higher education is the common name in the UK and Ireland, it is also known as post-secondary, tertiary and third level education

II)-Read the passage about studying abroad for Vietnamese students, and then answer the questions.
Viet Nam has a growing youth population, and this together with an increasing prosperous middle class means that demand for university education is greater than ever before A decade ago fewer than 10,000 Vietnamese families could afford to send their child abroad to study Today there are more than 100,000 Vietnamese international students around the world, most o f whom are funded by their parents
The top destinations for Vietnamese students are Australia, the US, China, Singapore and the UK English has become the dominant foreign language in Vietnam, with 98% o f students choosing to study it over French, Japanese and German So many students seek English- speaking countries for their higher education
Australia is the destination of choice because Australian qualifications are recognised across the world, and transferable to Vietnamese qualifications, and many Australian universities offer scholarships to international students Living costs in Australia compare favourably with the United States and UK, and it is closer to Viet Nam than other English- speaking countries, making visits home easier
The USA has the second largest number o f Vietnamese students The majority o f Vietnamese students, both at home and abroad, consider the American education the best in the world They believe that the USA is the most scientifically and technologically advanced country in the world Four out o f 10 Vietnamese students in the US are studying business administration, and finance Engineering, maths, computer science, and health professions are also common choices
1 What do a growing youth population and an increasing prosperous middle class in Viet Nam lead to?

III)-Read the passage about international students in Viet Nam, and then answer the questions.
Viet Nam: Struggling to attract international students
Viet N am is changing university enrolment requirements to make it easier for foreign students to study at its universities Previously, foreign students were required to take university entrance examinations in Vietnamese, making it difficult if not almost impossible for non-Vietnamese-speaking foreign students to apply
International student enrolment is one of the criteria to rank Vietnamese universities Attracting foreign students is also a way for Vietnam to promote Vietnam's education to the world
The leading universities in Viet Nam enrol undergraduate and graduate international students every year M ost are from the Asia Pacific region including China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, while a few come from the United States and Europe Most o f the international students study Vietnamese studies, Vietnamese literature or South East Asian studies, which makes Viet Nam the best destination for them
The leading institutions such as Viet Nam National Universities in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Mirth City, which have a tradition o f hosting international students, run preparatory courses in Vietnamese for foreign students However, it's widely recognized that if these universities do not have programmes taught in English, they have a challenge to enrol international students

Students in Singapore have the option o f sitting for the Singapore-Cambridge A-level exam, which is a different version o f the international A-level examination Has the International Baccalaureate (IB) better than the A-levels in terms o f preparing a student to enter a recognized and prestigious university?
It really depends on the student’s academic strengths The IB is more about a comprehensive educational style, while the A-levels puts more emphasis on individual subject knowledge An IB student must take six subjects, three at higher level and three at standard, which must include maths, a science, English, and at least one foreign language, while A- levels with three subjects studied in depth So if words aren’t the student’s strength, then the language component o f the IB (including the compulsory 4000-word essay) may pull the student’s overall IB score down
On the other hand, if the student is well-rounded and copes confidently with Arts subjects
as well as Maths and Science, then the IB programme may be ideal for the learner Experts believe the A-levels give a student depth o f knowledge, while the IB gives a broad education They also believe that the IB may prepare a child better for facing the challenges o f a university education
i f parents wonder if the IB would suit their child, they should talk to the teachers and their child before coming to an educated and well-informed decision

is sent to those universities with information from your school about you and your academic record If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask you to attend an interview If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage Applications and interviews take place several months before students do their A-level examinations These are the exams that you do at the end o f your time at school So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do your A-level exams If you don’t obtain those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place It will be offered to someone else and you must apply again to another university You don’t have to accept your place immediately Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university So, after they have taken their A-level, they take a year out to work or travel

The media may be primarily printed, as in the case o f traditional correspondence course Audiocassettes, videotapes, videodiscs, computer-based instructions, and interactive video courses can be sent to individual students In addition, radio, broadcast television, telelectures, and teleconferences are utilized for “live” distant education The latter two delivery systems allow for interactive instructions between the instructor and students

Tiie Area off ©id Canned Stones in Sa Pa
The area o f old carved stones in Sa Pa lies mainly in the Muong Hoa Valley, where there are settlements o f ethnic minority people in Sa Pa District, Lao Cai Province Carved stones here have been discovered since a long time ago In 1925, a French scholar coming here discovered more than 30 pieces o f stone that had been carved with various images, scattered along the Hoa Spring bank Later, other scientists have come here to study the carved pieces
o f stone Until now, researchers have discovered more than 200 pieces o f stone carved with different images, among them are the big ones which have complicated designs
The most common patterns are images o f mountains, hills and fields In some pieces o f stone, we can find images o f houses, following the pattern o f house on stilts with the form o f boat, with curved roof, reminding the image o f houses on the Dong Son bronze drums
Particularly, a number o f researchers have raised the hypothesis o f traces o f 3 kinds o f writing system, following the pattern o f pictorial writing with straight and curved lines There are writing systems almost similar to the writing systems found on amulets o f Tay ethnic group and Dao ethnic group, but they are not Tay characters The discovery of the 3 above kinds o f writing system on carved pieces o f stone makes more complicated the determination
o f the author o f those works Maybe those authors belong to many different ethnic minorities and have achieved their works in different times
There are opinions underlining that those pieces
o f stone have been carved by the old Viet people, or ethnic groups near to the old Viet people At present, there remain a number of legends about the "Father piece" and "Mother piece" o f stone related to inhabitants o f the areas lying at the mountain foot coming here to find new settlements However, the problem o f determination of the real authors o f those works is still to be solved
1 Scientists discovered a number o f old carved stones in Sa Pa, which
dated back to Dong Son Bronze Age
2 Hundreds o f stone pieces have been found with various images,
some o f which have big, complex patterns
3 The most common topic for the patterns is nature
4 Images o f stilt houses on these pieces o f stone were the same as
those on the Dong Son bronze drums
5 The three kinds o f writing system on the carved pieces o f stone
might share the similar pattern o f pictorial writing with straight and
curved lines
6 The writing systems on the old carved stones in Sa Pa came from
those o f Tay and Dao ethnic groups, but they are not Tay characters
7 Tay ethnic group and Dao ethnic group have their own writing systems
