II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was
played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan
to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s King, he says
in English, “Check”; when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These
words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means” the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player
has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The ruler have not always been the same as they are now. For example,
at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It
would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all
kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people
sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some
of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400
games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
1. Which of the following is known to be true?
a. Chess is an old Indian travelling game
b. Chess is the oldest game in the world
c. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400
d. Chess was played in India long before 900
2. One player has won the game when the other player’s King can not move anywhere.
a. he attacks the other player’s King
b. he says some Persian words
c. the other player’s King can not move anywhere
d. he says “check” to the r other player
3. According to the old rules of the game the queen could move no more than one square at a time.
a. the queen was the attacked all the time
b. the King had to attacked all the time
c. the queen could move no more than one square at a time
d. the king could not move anywhere
4. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?
a. “Shah mat” c. “the King is dead”
b. “check” d. “check mate”
5. Which of the following is NOT correct?
a. All kinds of people can play chess.
b. only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.
c. Some people write each other playing chess.
d. The Russians lost the game player by radio.
III. Read the article below and put a cross on the letter next to the word that best fits each space.
Should smoking be banned in public laces?
Statistics (1) show beyond doubt that cigarette smoking can (2) damage the health, yet a surprisingly large
number of people continue to smoke (3) in spite of all warnings. By doing so they are not just shortening their
own lives, they are also affecting the health of (4) those around them. It is time that non-smokers fought bach!
Personally, I think smoking should (5) definitely be banned in public places. In the first place, it is very
unpleasant (6) to sit in a smoke-filled room, such as a restaurant or cinema, if you do not yourself smoke (7)
added to this, smoking can be a serious fire risk, especially in crowed places (8) like discos. Finally, in my
opinion, nobody should be asked to risk his heath just because of another person’s bad habits.
Smokers may (9) protest that they should be free to do as they like. They say that we already have no-smoking
areas in public places, and that this should be enough. To my mind, however, non-smokers should also be free

3. to go anywhere they choose without risking their health.
Smoking is harmful not just to smokers but to non-smokers too. If some people are foolish enough to continue
this dangerous habits, it seems to me that they should at least be prevented (10) from doing so in public.
1. a. Survey b. Conducts c. Statistics d. Evidence

IV. Fill in each gap in the passage below with one suitable word.
For over a hundred years, the (1) people of London have gone to bed and (2) got up in the morning to the deep
sounds of the world (3) famous bell called Big Ben. The (4) bell appeared in Westminster Tower a year before
the clock, in 1858. It (5) weighs 13.5 tons, and it is the (6) largest bell in all England.
As we have (7) mentioned the clock that the bell serves appeared one year later, in 1859. Each of the clock’s
four (8) faces is almost 6.5 metres (9) in deameter. The munute hand is over 4 metres (10) long and weighs
over 100 kilograms.
(11) Although the clock is so big, it is very exact, it is seldom more than one second (12) wrong in 1924 hours.
English scientists use an original method to correct (13) mistake in the clock. There is a small tray in the middle
of the pendulum.If the clock is running slow, they put a penny coin in the tray, and the clock begins to run (14)
faster If the clock begins to run fast, they take (15) away the penny. The little coin is enough to make the giant
clock run a second faster or slower every day.

COMPOSITION
Smoking damages our health
(Smoking is harmful to our health)
(Việc hút thuốc có hại đến sức khoẻ của chúng ta)
Over the last thirty years, thanks to the efforts of various branches of science and technology, research has
proved that smoking damages health and shortens man’s life-span.
According to a diagram released by the World’s Health Organization (WHO), the number of people who die of
diseases connected to smoking is increasing more and more. The more science and technology learn, the more
damage caused by smoking is discovered. Therefore, it seems that we can never put a final stop to the list of
harm caused by smoking.
First of all, smoking brings about the decline of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys 15,000
cerebral cells.
Smoking is considered the number one cause of cardio-vascular trouble, pneumonia, lung cancer etc … The
main offending agents are carbon monoxide and nicotine in the smoke. These cancer – causing agents are also
the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer. The toxic effects of smoke make the smoker’s voice hoarse.
Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks to the teeth, and causes them to become
dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm.
In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar “Le Quy Don” as saying some hundred years ago
that smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span;
yet, few people heeded his sage advice.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
During the teenage years, many young people can be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being
questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this
age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying
to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that
questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about schoolwork and future plan but
should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young
people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any
sign of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

a. handbook for parents

b. because teenagers don’t want to talk to other people.
c. because teenagers think adults are not honest.
d. because most teenagers hate adults.
3. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual?
a. When people talk to them because they are really interested and not just checking on them.
b. When adults give them a lot of money to spend.
c. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.
d. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol, and drugs.
4. Some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking because
a. cigarettes and alcohol are available everywhere.

Your English teacher
My English teacher is Miss Loan. She’s of medium height, about twenty five of age. She’s fairy pretty
with her oval-shaped face, straight nose, large forehead and bright eyes. Though young and attractive in
appearance she’s dignified and virtuous.
She’s known to be a teacher of considerable ability. Her method of teaching differs somewhat with that of
our former teacher. Instead of explaining fully every new lesson beforehand she just gives us assignments and
let us work out ourselves. Thus her method of teaching corresponds to all of us and help us become active in
our English learning.
When teaching, she particularly pays close attention to English accent and pronunciation. She often
makes us pronounce an English word several times until it’s pronounced correctly and accurately. She always
encourages us in our English study and thanks to her devotion to teaching us, we have been making a rapid
progress.
Everyone in our class is now talking about our new English teacher who deserves our love and respect.

In our country, after long years of atrocious war, many houses, villages, bridges and roads were
destroyed by bombing. They all need to be repaired or rebuilt. After graduation, I’ll contribute my part to the
reconstruction of my war torn country into one of the most modern and powerful countries in the world.
How happy I feel when I am able to turn slum areas into blocks of hight buildings, to bring happiness
and joys to my poor compatriots!
How proud and delighted I am go to build high-ways, bridges and factorries for my city dwellers by the
sweat of my brow!

We took the night train and we were gently lulled to sleep by the sound of the train and
the pleasant night air. We arrived in Nha Trang early the next morning and checked into the
Grand Hotel which is very near to the beach, restaurants and nightlife. The hotle offered all
kinds of accommodation from first class to economy. The staff were friendly and extremely
helpful to us. They recommended a few tours which we took and we were not disappointed
with. On the beach we ate fresh seafood such as boiled crabs, grilled lobsters and sanguine
oysters. Nha Trang was clean and quiet, making our holiday very peaceful, restful and
unforgettable.

Tell me about your indoor hobby and why you enjoy it
Experience has taught me a valuable lesson,which is that i should have an in door hobby to occupy myself in
my spare – time, othe wise i might spend my lei sure – time on entertaining games which are either
mindless or wasteful. After careful consideration i decided to sart stamp collection since i regard postage
stamps as object of interest and value .For stamps to be accepted for use as postage, stamps undergo screening
steps , and only those stamps which excelled the others in meanings ,in artistic skills, and aesthetic designs will
be selected .So a stamp is really a cultural trait of the country which issues it .
What could be more interesting than having in my hand such a masterpiece?
Stamps teach leasons on geography and history. I, of course , will have to look up from dictionaries or
other books to discover mor about the origin of stamps. This will broaden my geographycal and historical
knowledge more and more
Then, collecting stamps is quite a relaxing activity too .I can well imagine how a new beautifuly
stamp, whether it is a domestic or overseas one,Cuold make me happy whatching it for hours on end so my
hobby can help me relax
All in all, stamp collecting further stimulates my creative and intellectual growth,wich makes me nevers feel
guilty about wasting time

Dear mother and father,
This letter is to let you know that I have arrived safely in Singapore. My first impressions are that Singapore
is a beautiful country and that I am going to enjoy staying here very much.
Everything is so clean and beautiful and very well- organized. The airport is very large and modern and I
could see that they have just completed the modernization. The people working there were friendly, courteous
and very helpful. They made me feel very welcome to their city. The taxi from the airport downtown was
readily available and very cheap.
My hotel is new modern one with every convenience. The tourist bulletin that I found in my room suggests to
me so many different things that I might like to see and do, so I am sure that I will be busy every minute.
Unfortunately, I forgot the shopping list that I had made out before I came here. As you know, many of my
friends asked me to buy something for them. I can not possibly remember everything, so would you please send
the list to me.
I miss both of you and wish that you were here with me. Don’t worry about me because this is a very secure
and safe place. I will write again in a few days.
Your loving son,

Summer comes together with its extreme heat and nobody can resist the temptation
to spend their holiday at the seaside.
Last week, in older to escape from the suffocating atmosphere of a crowded city, my
friends and I decided to go to Vung Tau beach. When we got to the seaside, the beach had
already been crammed with holiday makers. They were either sunbathing on the beach for a
short tie, we all took off our clothes and let ourselves drift along on the waves.
Swimming brought us a good appetite. We enjoyed some sea foods and then took a
quick nap after lunch
In the afternoon we strolled along the beach, inhaling in rapture the fresh sea air and
took lots of photographs.
A holiday at the seaside helped us get rid of all worries and trouble and gave us
health and enthusiasm to resume work again.

That morning my mother woke up earlier than usually.She urged me to get dressed and take breafast quickly
then lenderly took me to school. On the way to school I met other children of my age accompanied by their

The nearer I came to the school gate, the more nervous I became. Suddenly a strange felling of fear and worry
seized my heart when I saw the majestic elementary school in front of me and I feet like crying when my
morther said good bye to me and put some coins into my pocket.
Never before had I been forced to separate from my beloved mother! But when I saw old Pupils laughing and
talking merrily I regained my composure After the droll og the drum, We were instructed to stand in line to
salute the colours and then so into our classed.A young and mild - looking teacher greeted us at the door. And
in a gentle voice, he taught us the first lesson that we never forget.

Your favourite hobby
My hobby is reading books. I inherited a valuable collection of books from my deceased father and
up till now my cultural treasures have been preserved carefully.
Reading books broadens my mind and improves my knowledge. They help me distinguish the bad
from the good and prevent me from doing wrong.
Reading books brings me minutes of happiness and pleasures. I have found a source of consolation
and encouragement in books when I am in despair. They’re my true companions indeed. How relieved
and comfored I feel when I can find in good books good teachers and friends!
Instead of including myself in futile entertainments, o often absorbed in reading interestiong books
which always have miracles to remove my sorrow and hardships and reveal to me strange and new
horizons.
TEST 3
Which season of the year do you like best? Why?
I was born in Northern Vietnam, where there are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and
Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which
offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; Summmer is the season of nice holidays when we can
enjoy lots of outdoor acitivities suh as picnickig, camping, swimming, fishing etc…. Autumn is so
beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat of
tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following
reasons:
During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the
time. The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is
not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone
with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a goreous coat of colours
on nature. Autumn is such a wonderfuk season that many poems and songs have been

II.Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Ever sine humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a
language barrier communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters,
words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of
these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact they can be used internationally, spelling,
however, cannot.
Body language transmits idea of thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink
can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking
the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the
fingertips), signal flags, morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and
instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express
human thoughts and feelings.
1.Which of the follwing best summarizes this passage?
a.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.
b.Everybody uses only one form of communication.
c.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.
d.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.
2.Which of the following statements is not true?
a.There are many forms of communication in existence today.
b.Verbalization is the most common form of communication.
c.The deaf and mute use an oral form of communication.

50. d.Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.
3.Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people?
a. picture signs
b.Braille
c.body language
d.signal flags
4.How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?

COMPOSITION
Describe the advantages of living in the country and the disadvantages of living in the city.
(Although I’ve spent most of my life in the city, I always prefer to live in the country rather than in the city.
First, living in the country we can enjoy fresh and pure air all year round whereas the city atmosphere is
seriously polluted.
Second, we can live a safe and peacefull file in the country while townsfolk are often obsessed with sudden
deaths caused by careless drivers and fool hardy motorcyclists.
Third, nothing can be compared with beautiful sceneries at dusk and at dawn in the country side. They help us
relax wonderfully after a hard day’s work while the debaucheries in prostitute houses in beer shops and
dancing-halls are ruining townspeople’s body and soul.)
