 Every summer, when the results of university entrance exam come out, many newspaper stories
are published about students who are top-scorers across the country. Most portray students as hard-
working, studious, smart and, generally, from low-income families. They are often considered heroes or
heroines by their families, communes, villages and communities. And they symbolize the efforts made to
lift them, and their relatives, out of poverty. The students are often too poor to attend any extra-classes,
which make their achievements more illustrious and more newsworthy. While everyone should applaud
the students for their admirable efforts, putting too much emphasis on success generates some difficult
questions.
If other students look up to them as models, of course it's great. However, in a way, it contributes
to society's attitude that getting into university is the only way to succeed. For those who fail, their lives
are over. It should be noted that about 1.3 million high school students take part in the annual university
entrance exams and only about 300,000 of them pass. What's about the hundreds of thousands who fail?
Should we demand more stories about those who fail the exam but succeed in life or about those who quit
university education at some level and do something else unconventional?
“I personally think that it's not about you scoring top in an entrance exam or get even into Harvard.
It's about what you do for the rest of your life,” said Tran Nguyen Le Van, 29. He is the founder of a website,
vexere.com, which passengers can use to book bus tickets online and receive tickets via SMS. His business
also arranges online tickets via mobile phones and email. Van dropped out of his MBA at the Thunderbird
School of Global Management in Arizona in the United States. His story has caught the attention of many
newspapers and he believes more coverage should be given to the youngsters who can be role-models in
the start-up community. Getting into university, even with honors, is just the beginning. “We applaud
them and their efforts and obviously that can give them motivation to do better in life. However, success
requires more than just scores,” Van said. Van once told a newspaper that his inspiration also came from
among the world's most famous drop-outs, such as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or Bill Gates who also
dropped out of Harvard University.
Alarming statistics about unemployment continues to plague us. As many as 162,000 people with
some kind of degree cannot find work, according to Labor Ministry's statistics this month. An emphasis on
getting into university does not inspire students who want to try alternative options. At the same time, the
Ministry of Education and Training is still pondering on how to reform our exam system, which emphasizes
theories, but offers little to develop critical thinking or practice. Vu Thi Phuong Anh, former head of the
Centre for Education Testing and Quality Assessment at Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City
said the media should also monitor student successes after graduation. She agreed there were many success
stories about young people, but added that it was imbalanced if students taking unconventional paths were
not also encouraged.
Vietnam is, more than ever, in desperate need of those who think outside the box. Time for us to
recognize talent, no matter where it comes from or how.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 1 to 7.
Online lectures are the first choice in the context of long-lasting and complicated Covid-19
pandemic given their advantages. However, teachers say distance learning has many issues which
need to be solved to achieve the set goals.

13
 The biggest advantage of online classes is that all materials, discussion questions and tests are
stored on an online platform; therefore, students can easily access these contents anytime and
anywhere. Lectures will be broadcast live for many students at the same time and could be recorded
to be replayed.
Nevertheless, talking to Hanoitimes, Dao Van Diep, a teacher of Hanoi-based Lomonosov My
Dinh Primary School pointed out some disadvantages of online classes. “The most outstanding one is
that in the online environment, teachers cannot remind their students, and there is not any specific
timetable so that students can follow”, Diep said. “In addition, there are some other barriers such as
equipment, transmission lines, interactions between learners and teachers. As students are not
familiar with the online method, it's hard to get their focus on the lecture which sometimes is
interrupted due to poor transmission speed.”
“The biggest shortcoming of online classes is the way of testing and evaluating students. I am
struggling to find out what kind of test should be used to best assess my students. When we let
students take the test from a distance, it is very difficult to ensure they do the test honestly. We need
the instructions from the Ministry of Education and Training on this matter,” Diep said.
In a phone interview with Hanoitimes, Tran Thi Hai Yen, managing director of Alpha School
in Hanoi said that her school has made a big investment in online teaching infrastructure and
developed an online teaching plan during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, since the municipal
Department of Education and Training has prohibited schools from collecting tuition fees, it is
difficult to implement because schools with paid education do not have a backup funding for free
teaching.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 8 to 12.
In the United States, the original purposes for higher education were to prepare students for
a few “learned professions,” and to provide a strong, religiously tinged moral education. Many of the
activities that we now associate with higher education – extra-curricular clubs, majoring in a defined
specialization, faculty research, access for socioeconomically disadvantaged students – came later.
Today, we would have to start by recognizing the fundamental fact that the purposes of higher
education are highly differentiated by the stratum in the system institutions occupy.
The great majority of the 3,000 or so four-year colleges and universities are primarily devoted
to teaching students, mainly in occupational fields that in theory equip graduates to obtain jobs.
Students will receive a smattering of general education in lower-division and will have opportunities
to participate in extra-curricular activities. The latter are more important for many students than
classroom studies. Students hone interpersonal skills on campus, make contacts that can be useful
for instrumental purposes as well as ends in themselves. For those who finish, their diplomas do
provide a boost in the labor market, more for quantitative fields than for other fields.
Research universities are of course the most complex environments. In addition to
providing instruction in hundreds of programs, they run hundreds of student clubs and
organizations, contribute to the selection of high achieving students for graduate degrees, train and
mentor graduate and professional students, produce thousands or tens of thousands of research
papers annually, reach out to industrial partners, field semi-professional athletic teams, solve
community problems, run tertiary care hospitals, patent new discoveries and attempt to create
environments conducive to learning for a very wide variety of students. These activities, taken
together, constitute the enacted purposes of research universities.

A. take away B. take over C. take in D. take up

A. Building your social circle. B. Polishing your communication skills.
C. Starting a secret heretical cult. D. Learning the necessary knowledge.
Question 11: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. environments B. universities C. programs D. fields
Question 12: According to paragraph 3, why did the author call research universities “the most
complex environments”?
A. They are not only trying to succeed academically but also politically.
B. The range of their activities is wide and difficult to briefly summarize.

II. Reading and gap filling
In today's fast-paced industry, learning will most likely involve seeking new skills in ways that
challenge the norm. But thankfully, there is promise for such lifelong learning online - a promise that
will save you time and money while helping you earn more of both.
Provided you have access to a decent computer and the Internet, the barrier to getting started is
probably lower than it ever has been. And with those things in place, it is a matter of finding the
content you wish to learn. So, to help others who may be looking to maximize their own learning
efforts, I have listed some quick tips below.
First, set achievable goals. When you start learning, it is a good idea to set goals about what
you want to learn or what you might do with your newly acquired knowledge. It might be landing
that new job, building a tangible product, or impressing your current management. The goals may
vary in size and complexity, but do revisit these goals throughout your learning process. Within a
couple weeks ask yourself, "Am I getting closer to my goal?" or "Am I learning the skills necessary to
reach my goals?" If you are not, then you may need to look elsewhere.
Second, learn with others. By yourself, learning anything has a high propensity to become
frustrating. Try teaming up with friends or colleagues. They can often be your best resource for
maintaining motivation while you learn.
Third, make it a habit. Online habits often include scrolling through social media or watching videos
on YouTube. If you have the downtime for such activities, then you could spend that downtime
learning something. And why not learn something? If you do, then you will have plenty more to talk
about on social media anyways. So, make learning your new online habit by making a commitment
to learn something new each day.
