of the questions from 11 to 17.
Vietnam boasts a rich cultural heritage that spans thousands of years, with diverse influences from
its indigenous roots, neighboring countries, and colonial history. However, the current status of heritage
preservation in Vietnam is a topic of concern. Rapid urbanization, economic development, and
modernization have posed significant challenges to the preservation and protection of Vietnam’s cultural
treasures.
One issue faced by Vietnam is the encroachment of urban development on historical sites and
traditional communities. As cities expand and modern infrastructure is built, historical buildings and
neighborhoods often face the threat of demolition or alteration. This poses a risk to the physical integrity
and authenticity of Vietnam’s heritage. Efforts are being made to strike a balance between development
and preservation, with initiatives to restore and adapt historic structures for modern use, ensuring their
cultural significance is not lost.
Another challenge is the preservation of intangible heritage, such as traditional crafts, music, and
rituals. With the globalization of culture and changing societal dynamics, there is a risk of these
traditions fading away. Recognizing this, the Vietnamese government and local communities have
initiated programs to promote and safeguard intangible heritage. Cultural festivals, craft workshops, and
educational initiatives are being organized to raise awareness and engage younger generations in the
importance of preserving their cultural heritage.
Furthermore, tourism has both positive and negative impacts on heritage preservation in Vietnam.
While tourism can provide economic opportunities and support conservation efforts, it can also lead to
over-commercialization and cultural commodification. Striking a balance between sustainable tourism
development and heritage protection is crucial. The Vietnamese government has implemented
regulations to manage tourism activities and promote responsible travel practices to ensure that heritage
sites are respected and preserved for future generations.
In conclusion, the current status of heritage preservation in Vietnam is a complex and evolving
challenge. With growing awareness of the importance of cultural heritage, efforts are being made to
protect and promote Vietnam’s rich heritage. However, it requires a delicate balance between
development and preservation, as well as active community participation and responsible tourism
practices, to ensure that Vietnam’s cultural treasures continue to thrive and inspire future generations.

Preserving our heritage is a crucial task that involves safeguarding our cultural history and identity.
It means protecting both the physical objects and the intangible aspects of our past that have been passed
down to us. Things like historical sites, artifacts, traditions, and languages are all part of our heritage
and deserve to be taken care of.
Nations should be in an attempt to preserve their heritage because heritage allows future generations
to learn from and appreciate the accomplishments and struggles of those who came before us. It helps
us understand where we come from and how our societies have developed over time. When we preserve
our heritage, we also feel a strong sense of belonging, as it connects us to our shared history and cultural
practices. In addition, preserving heritage promotes cultural diversity and encourages communication
between different cultures. It helps us appreciate the uniqueness of each culture and promotes respect
and understanding among people. By celebrating and protecting our diverse heritage, we create
opportunities for cultural exchange, which brings people together and helps build a more harmonious
and inclusive society.
Preserving heritage is not just a responsibility; it is an investment in our collective memory, identity,
and the future well-being of generations to come. So let's cherish and protect our heritage, ensuring that
it continues to enrich and inspire us for years to come.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each

When it comes to education options for school-leavers, there are several paths to consider. One
common option is pursuing higher education at a university or college. This path typically involves
obtaining a bachelor’s degree in a chosen field of study, which can provide a solid foundation for various
career opportunities. Universities and colleges offer a wide range of academic programs, allowing
school-leavers to explore their interests and specialize in areas that align with their career aspirations.
Another option for school-leavers is vocational education and training (VET) programs. VET
emphasizes providing practical skills and knowledge that directly apply to specific industries or trades.
These programs offer hands-on training, preparing individuals for careers in fields such as healthcare,
information technology, construction, hospitality, and automotive industries. VET programs often
include apprenticeships or internships, allowing students to gain valuable work experience while
studying.
For those who prefer a more experiential approach, apprenticeships can be a valuable education
option. Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, allowing school-
leavers to earn while they learn. They provide a unique opportunity to gain practical skills and industry-
specific knowledge directly from professionals in the field. Apprenticeships are available in a variety of
industries, such as construction, culinary arts, electrical work, and healthcare.
Ultimately, the choice of education option for school-leavers depends on individual interests, goals,
and learning preferences. Whether it’s pursuing higher education at a university, enrolling in a vocational
program, or embarking on an apprenticeship, each path offers distinct advantages and can lead to
rewarding career paths. It's important for school-leavers to explore and evaluate these options carefully
to make an informed decision that aligns with their aspirations and sets them on a path to success.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 11 to 17.
The age at which teenagers should become independent is a topic of debate and can vary depending
on cultural norms and individual circumstances. While there is no set age that universally marks the
transition to independence, it is generally recognized that the teenage years are a crucial period for
developing autonomy and taking on increasing responsibility.
During adolescence, teenagers undergo significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes.
They begin to form their own identities, explore their interests, and develop a sense of self. This period
provides an opportunity for teenagers to gradually take on more independence and learn essential life
skills that will prepare them for adulthood. However, it is important to note that independence should be
a gradual process and not something expected to happen overnight. Teenagers still require guidance,
support, and supervision from parents, caregivers, and trusted adults. The transition to independence
should be based on individual maturity, readiness, and the ability to handle increasing responsibilities.
Factors such as cultural expectations, family dynamics, and the level of trust and communication within
the family also play a role in determining when teenagers should become more independent. Open and
honest communication between parents and teenagers is crucial in navigating this transition, as it allows
for discussions about expectations, boundaries, and the gradual relinquishing of parental control.
It is important to recognize that the journey towards independence is not solely determined by age,
but also by the readiness and capabilities of the teenager. Some teenagers may display greater maturity
and responsibility at an earlier age, while others may require more time and support to develop these
skills. Parental guidance and assessment of the teenager’s readiness are vital in determining when they
should gradually assume more independence. It is essential to strike a balance between fostering
independence and ensuring the teenager’s well-being and safety. By providing opportunities for growth,
encouraging responsible decision-making, and maintaining a supportive environment, parents can help
teenagers navigate the path to independence at a pace that suits their individual development.
