Tổng hợp những câu hỏi từ vựng, ngữ pháp tiếng anh cần thiết cho ôn luyện tiếng anh thi trung học phổ thông quốc gia. Tiếng Anh luôn là môn có nhiều điểm thấp trong nhiều năm qua cho thấy một điều phương pháp học tập cũng như giảng dạy chưa thật sự nghiêm túc. Bản thân học sinh cũng chưa tìm được cho mình một phương pháp học tập đúng đắn để cải thiện được môn học này. Hơn nữa, đây là một môn học quá trình, không chỉ vài ba ngày là có thể tiến bộ luôn được mà cần sự kiên trì và chăm chỉ. Học sinh ngày nay phần lớn là không có được hai yếu tố quan trọng cho việc học ngoại ngữ này. Bên cạnh đó, phương pháp dạy của giáo viên còn cũ, chưa có sự đổi mới để kích thích sự thích thú về Tiếng Anh cho học sinh ngoài việc dạy ngữ pháp, các quy tắc, cấu trúc câu,… Sau đó thì học thuộc lòng như một cái máy, khá là nhàm chán. Đây cũng là một lí do khiến môn Tiếng Anh trở thành “cơn ác mộng” với học sinh.
