technical expertise needed to deal with large and very comprehensive trade agreements The WTO

provides them with critical training and support, (1) ensuring that the WTO is inclusive and equitable toward both the wealthiest and the poorest nations in the world

A (1) _ teacher can reach thousands of students in an online course, opening up a world of knowledge to anyone with an internet connection This limitless reach also offers substantial beneﬁts for school districts that need to save money, by reducing the number of teachers (2) _, in high schools and colleges, there is mounting evidence that the growth of online education is hurting a critical group: the less proficient students (3) _ are precisely those most in need of skilled classroom teachers Online courses can be broken down into several categories, and some are more effective than others

In "blended” courses, for example, students don’t do their work only online: They also spend time

in a classroom with a ﬂesh-and-blood teacher Research suggests that students - at nearly all levels of achievement - do just as well in these blended classes as they do in traditional classrooms In this model, online resources supplement traditional instruction but don’t replace it In the fully online model, on the other hand, a student may never be in the same room with an instructor This category is the main

problem It is where less proficient students tend to 4) _ trouble After all, taking a class without

As William Chopik, associate professor of psychology and author of the study says: “Friends are a conscious choice Family relationships can be serious, negative and monotonous." The research included two studies - one a broad survey of nearly 300,000 people, aged between 15 and

99, from more than 90 countries This study found that those (1) valued friendships highly

were healthier and happier (according to their own reports), especially as they got older The second study used data from a US survey of 7,481 people over 50 Subjects were questioned about the quality of their friendships - how much friends understood them and how much they let them down

When friendships were reported as being stressful, people reported (2) rates of

disease When friends were supportive, people were healthier Most of the friendships were

reported as being supportive Family, (3) , were found to have little influence on an

individual's health and wellbeing Spouses and children had some effect, but not as much as friends

Chopik says he isn't suggesting we ignore our families, but that friends make us feel better

With friends you are more likely (4) do activities - they provide an outlet You

can say things to friends and they are less judgmental There is a distance there that provides a level

of honesty." He says that cultivating good-quality friendships across our lives is beneficial -

raising self-esteem and (5) against stress.

The labor force rose by 601,000 people last month, driving the proportion of the civilian adult population that is either working or looking for work up by 0.2 percentage points, to 62.9 percent The unemployment rate rose because not all of the people looking for work found it immediately That

In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the

strings were thick and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, exciting technical changes were inspired by such composer-violinists as Vivaldi and Tartini Their (3) compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant tone that was

produced by using thinner strings and a far higher string tension Small changes had to be (4) _ to the Violin’s internal structure and to the fingerboard so that they could withstand the extra strain (5) _, a higher standard of performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation

Despite these drawbacks, (1) _the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam, But these are only temporary solutions Complementary long-term solutions such as increasing labor productivity must also be examined

As Vietnam has specialized in manufacturing with its competitive advantage of a cheap labor force in the global supply chain, (2) _higher education should be reoriented to focus more on vocational training rather than university degrees The Vietnamese government has already taken action by simplifying the entrance exam to university Previously, Vietnam's national entrance exam was very difficult and only a limited number of the most talented citizens managed to enter universities

However, as living standards in Vietnam improve and more families can afford to send their children to university, universities have become more commercialized and entering university is

no longer a rare achievement The low quality of Vietnamese universities also means the majority of graduating students are unable to find an appropriate job By simplifying entrance exams to deemphasise university degrees, the government has encouraged students to opt for vocational training (3) _, 2016 saw a remarkable decrease in the number of students applying (4) _university

Another supplementary policy is to have productivity-based rather than seniority-based salaries, (5) _ are common in Asian countries This would address public concern about aged seniors doing less work for more pay than younger employees Companies and government agencies would employ and appreciate the young while benefiting from the experience of the old But this issue feeds the Communist regime's dilemma between adhering to Communist principles and integrating into the capitalist culture of productivity for profits

EXERCISE 3:

Chủ đề SCIENCE

Kiên thức về từ vựng

A reduce /rɪ'dʒu:s/ (v): giảm B cut /kʌt/ (v): cắt, giảm

C drop /drɒp/ (v): chảy, rơi, giảm

D discount /'dɪskaʊnt/ (v): giảm giá, bớt giá, chiết khấu (do trả tiền ngay, hoặc mua số lượng nhiều)

Ta thấy cả 4 phương án đầu có nghĩa là “giảm” Tuy nhiên, vị trí trống cần điền một nội động từ nên đáp

án là C

Tạm dịch: "Some animals hibernate or go into a deep sleep as an adaptation to the cold months of winter

Hibernation is different from normal sleep During hibernation, an animal seems to be dead [ts

metabolism slows down and its body temperature (1) .” (Một số động vật ngủ đông hoặc đi vào trạng thái ngủ sâu như một sự thích nghi với những tháng lạnh của mùa đông Ngủ đông khác với giấc ngủ bình thường Trong thời gian ngủ đông, một con vật dường như đã chết Sự trao đổi chất của nó chậm lại và nhiệt độ cơ thể của nó (1) .)

Kiến th ức về từ loại

A lively /'laivli/ (a): sinh động, sống động

B alive /ə'laɪv/ (a): còn sống

C life /laɪf/ (n): cuộc sống

D living /'liviη/ (a): đang sống, đang tồn tại

Trang 19

Căn cứ vào động từ "stay" ta loai phương án C Vì sau stay + adj.

Cụm từ stay alive: còn sống

A factual /'fæktjuəl/ (a): thực sự, căn cứ theo sự thực

B rightly /’raitli/ (adv): đúng, phải, đúng đắn, có lý, chính đáng, công bằng

C authentic /ɔ'θentɪk/ (a): đích thực; xác thực

D true /tru:/ (a): đúng, thật sự

Căn cứ vào danh từ “hibernators” nên vị trí trống cần một tính từ (trước danh từ là tính từ Ta loại phương

Adaptation to st: thích nghi với cái gì

Tạm dịch: “Some animals estivate, or go into a deep sleep as an adaptation (4) _ the hot, dry months

of summer.” (Một số động vật ngủ hè, hoặc đi vào giấc ngủ sâu như một sự thích nghi (49) _ những tháng nóng và khô của mùa hè.)

Kiến thức về trạng từ quan hệ

- Where là trạng từ quan hệ, thay thế cho trạng ngữ chỉ nơi chốn

- When là trạng từ quan hệ, thay thế cho trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian

- Why là trạng từ quan hệ, thay thế cho trạng ngữ chỉ lí do

Căn cứ vào dấu phẩy (,) ta loại phương án A (that không dùng sau dấu phẩy)

Căn cứ vào nghĩa của câu: “Some animals burrow underground, (5) it is cooler, before they begin to estivate Some animals which estivate are reptiles, bees, hedgehogs, frogs, toads, and earthworms.”

(Một số động vật đào hang dưới lòng đất, (5) _ trời mát hơn, trước khi chúng bắt đầu ngủ hè Một số động vật ngủ hè là bò sát, ong, nhím, ếch, cóc và giun đất.)

Do đó, ta dùng “where” thay thế cho “underground” nên đáp án là C

EXERCISE 4:

Câu 1: đáp án C

Kiến thức về liên từ

A However = D Yet: thế nhưng, tuy nhiên

B In addition = Moreover = Besides = Furthermore: ngoai ra

C Therefore = Thus = Hence = consequently = as a result: do do, do vậy

Tạm dịch: “A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week (3) people are more susceptible to heart

attacks in the first few hours after walking.”(Tỉ lệ đau tim cao hơn xảy ra trong thời tiết lạnh và nhiều người bị suy tim vào thứ Hai hơn bất kỳ ngày nào khác trong tuần Ngoài ra, mọi người dễ bị đau tim hơn trong vài giờ đầu sau khi đi bộ.)
