Read the following passage about contemporary job market and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 23 to 30.
In the contemporary job market, individuals seeking employment face a myriad of challenges that can
hinder their success. One of the most pressing issues is the intense competition for available positions. In
large urban areas, numerous applicants often vie for the same job, making it difficult for candidates to
distinguish themselves from others.
Another significant obstacle is the high cost of living in major cities. While salaries may be more
attractive, the expenses associated with urban life—such as rent, transportation, and daily necessities—can
consume a considerable portion of earnings. This financial pressure sometimes forces job seekers to accept
roles that do not align with their skills or aspirations, just to make ends meet.
Furthermore, networking plays a crucial role in securing employment, especially in metropolitan areas.
Job seekers without established contacts may struggle to obtain interviews or recommendations, which can
be particularly challenging for those relocating from smaller communities where they had stronger ties.
Additionally, rapid advancements in technology demand that job seekers continuously update their skills.
Those unfamiliar with the latest tools and platforms may find it daunting to keep up, further complicating
their job search. Despite these challenges, resources are available to assist job seekers. Career
counseling, networking events, and online job boards can provide vital support in navigating the
complexities of the job market.

Read the following passage about the an Era of Rapid Industrialization and Urbanization and mark the
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
from 31 to 40.
[I] In recent years, Vietnamese youth have encountered new challenges as the country undergoes rapid
industrialization. [II] As the economy grows, young people are increasingly drawn to urban centers for
education and employment opportunities. [III] However, this shift brings about a range of complex issues
that need to be addressed. [IV]
One of the primary challenges is the rising competition for jobs in urban areas. With more graduates
entering the workforce each year, many find it difficult to secure stable employment. Additionally, the skills
required in modern industries often differ from what is taught in traditional educational institutions, leading
to a skills gap. This discrepancy means that many young people struggle to adapt to the demands of the job
market.
Moreover, urban life can be overwhelming. The high cost of living in cities can put a strain on young
professionals, especially those who come from rural backgrounds. Housing prices are skyrocketing, making
it hard for them to find affordable accommodation. Furthermore, the fast-paced lifestyle can contribute to
mental health issues, as many young people feel isolated and stressed in a competitive environment.
Finally, the rapid industrialization and urbanization have significant environmental consequences.
Increased industrial activity leads to pollution, while urban expansion often encroaches on green spaces.
This deterioration of the environment affects the quality of life for all city residents, including the youth,
who are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable practices.
Vietnamese youth must navigate these complex challenges, and understanding the underlying
issues is crucial for developing effective policies. By fostering skill development, providing mental health
support, and promoting sustainable urban planning, society can help young people thrive in an evolving
landscape.

Read the following passage about Urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 23 to 30.
Urbanization is a defining trend of the 21st century, with over half of the world’s population now
residing in urban areas. This rapid growth brings both opportunities and challenges. According to the United
Nations, the global urban population is projected to reach 68% by 2050, leading to increased demands for
housing, transportation, and infrastructure.
Many cities are expanding into megacities, where populations exceed 10 million, such as Tokyo,
Delhi, and Shanghai. While this growth can enhance economic prospects, it often results in overcrowding
and pollution. Urban areas are increasingly recognized as some of the most polluted places on Earth.
In response to these challenges, cities are striving to create sustainable environments. Innovations in
green architecture, public transportation systems, and smart city technologies are being implemented to
improve urban living conditions. For instance, Singapore serves as a model for urban sustainability,
integrating extensive green spaces and efficient public transit.

Mã đề 121 Trang 9
 Technology plays a crucial role in managing urban growth. Smart traffic management systems
and data analytics are helping to alleviate congestion and enhance city services. By leveraging these
advancements, urban planners can better address the needs of residents, fostering livable and resilient cities.
Furthermore, addressing social inequalities within urban settings is essential. Many cities are working to
ensure that all residents have access to basic services such as education and healthcare. By promoting
inclusive development, urban areas can thrive while supporting diverse populations.

Read the following passage about the Job Seekers in Major Cities and mark the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
(I).The job market in major cities today presents a host of challenges that impact job seekers significantly.
[II] The rapid growth of technology and changing economic conditions contribute to a precarious job
environment, making it difficult for young workers to secure meaningful positions. [III].
One major challenge is the oversaturation of candidates for entry-level jobs. Many employers prioritize
experience over potential, leaving fresh graduates with limited opportunities. Additionally, the rising cost of
living in urban areas exacerbates the situation, as young professionals often cannot afford to remain
unemployed while searching for jobs. [IV]
The shift toward remote work and the gig economy adds another layer of complexity. While these options
provide flexibility, they often come without benefits, leading to financial instability and uncertainty. As a
result, many young workers are forced to accept multiple short-term gigs, which can hinder their long-term
career development.
Ultimately, the implications of these challenges extend beyond individual struggles; they can affect
overall economic growth and social stability. Policymakers and educational institutions must collaborate
to create training programs that equip young job seekers with relevant skills and promote pathways to
secure employment. By addressing these issues, cities can cultivate a more dynamic workforce ready to
meet the demands of the modern economy.

Read the following passage about Urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

Urbanization is a defining trend of the 21st century, with over half of the world’s population now
residing in urban areas. This rapid growth brings both opportunities and challenges. According to the United
Nations, the global urban population is projected to reach 68% by 2050, leading to increased demands for
housing, transportation, and infrastructure.
Many cities are expanding into megacities, where populations exceed 10 million, such as Tokyo,
Delhi, and Shanghai. While this growth can enhance economic prospects, it often results in overcrowding
and pollution. Urban areas are increasingly recognized as some of the most polluted places on Earth.
In response to these challenges, cities are striving to create sustainable environments. Innovations in
green architecture, public transportation systems, and smart city technologies are being implemented to
improve urban living conditions. For instance, Singapore serves as a model for urban sustainability,
integrating extensive green spaces and efficient public transit.
Technology plays a crucial role in managing urban growth. Smart traffic management systems
and data analytics are helping to alleviate congestion and enhance city services. By leveraging these
advancements, urban planners can better address the needs of residents, fostering livable and resilient cities.

Mã đề 121 Trang 15

ensure that all residents have access to basic services such as education and healthcare. By promoting
inclusive development, urban areas can thrive while supporting diverse populations.

Read the following passage about the an Era of Rapid Industrialization and Urbanization and mark the
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
from 31 to 40.
[I] In recent years, Vietnamese youth have encountered new challenges as the country undergoes rapid
industrialization. [II] As the economy grows, young people are increasingly drawn to urban centers for
education and employment opportunities. [III] However, this shift brings about a range of complex issues
that need to be addressed. [IV]
One of the primary challenges is the rising competition for jobs in urban areas. With more graduates
entering the workforce each year, many find it difficult to secure stable employment. Additionally, the skills
required in modern industries often differ from what is taught in traditional educational institutions, leading
to a skills gap. This discrepancy means that many young people struggle to adapt to the demands of the job
market.
Moreover, urban life can be overwhelming. The high cost of living in cities can put a strain on young
professionals, especially those who come from rural backgrounds. Housing prices are skyrocketing, making
it hard for them to find affordable accommodation. Furthermore, the fast-paced lifestyle can contribute to
mental health issues, as many young people feel isolated and stressed in a competitive environment.
Finally, the rapid industrialization and urbanization have significant environmental consequences.
Increased industrial activity leads to pollution, while urban expansion often encroaches on green spaces.
This deterioration of the environment affects the quality of life for all city residents, including the youth,
who are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable practices.
Vietnamese youth must navigate these complex challenges, and understanding the underlying
issues is crucial for developing effective policies. By fostering skill development, providing mental health

Read the following passage about the Job Seekers in Major Cities and mark the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
(I)The job market in major cities today presents a host of challenges that impact job seekers significantly.
[II]. The rapid growth of technology and changing economic conditions contribute to a precarious job
environment, making it difficult for young workers to secure meaningful positions. [III]
One major challenge is the oversaturation of candidates for entry-level jobs. Many employers prioritize
experience over potential, leaving fresh graduates with limited opportunities. Additionally, the rising cost of
living in urban areas exacerbates the situation, as young professionals often cannot afford to remain
unemployed while searching for jobs. [IV]
The shift toward remote work and the gig economy adds another layer of complexity. While these options
provide flexibility, they often come without benefits, leading to financial instability and uncertainty. As a
result, many young workers are forced to accept multiple short-term gigs, which can hinder their long-term
career development.
Ultimately, the implications of these challenges extend beyond individual struggles; they can affect
overall economic growth and social stability. Policymakers and educational institutions must collaborate
to create training programs that equip young job seekers with relevant skills and promote pathways to
secure employment. By addressing these issues, cities can cultivate a more dynamic workforce ready to
meet the demands of the modern economy.

Read the following passage about Urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 23 to 30.
Urbanization is a defining trend of the 21st century, with over half of the world’s population now
residing in urban areas. This rapid growth brings both opportunities and challenges. According to the United
Nations, the global urban population is projected to reach 68% by 2050, leading to increased demands for
housing, transportation, and infrastructure.
Many cities are expanding into megacities, where populations exceed 10 million, such as Tokyo,
Delhi, and Shanghai. While this growth can enhance economic prospects, it often results in overcrowding
and pollution. Urban areas are increasingly recognized as some of the most polluted places on Earth.
In response to these challenges, cities are striving to create sustainable environments. Innovations in
green architecture, public transportation systems, and smart city technologies are being implemented to
improve urban living conditions. For instance, Singapore serves as a model for urban sustainability,
integrating extensive green spaces and efficient public transit.
Technology plays a crucial role in managing urban growth. Smart traffic management systems
and data analytics are helping to alleviate congestion and enhance city services. By leveraging these
advancements, urban planners can better address the needs of residents, fostering livable and resilient cities.
Furthermore, addressing social inequalities within urban settings is essential. Many cities are working to
ensure that all residents have access to basic services such as education and healthcare. By promoting
inclusive development, urban areas can thrive while supporting diverse populations.

Read the following passage about the an Era of Rapid Industrialization and Urbanization and mark the
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
from 31 to 40.
[I] In recent years, Vietnamese youth have encountered new challenges as the country undergoes rapid
industrialization. [II] As the economy grows, young people are increasingly drawn to urban centers for
education and employment opportunities. [III] However, this shift brings about a range of complex issues
that need to be addressed. [IV]
One of the primary challenges is the rising competition for jobs in urban areas. With more graduates
entering the workforce each year, many find it difficult to secure stable employment. Additionally, the skills
required in modern industries often differ from what is taught in traditional educational institutions, leading
to a skills gap. This discrepancy means that many young people struggle to adapt to the demands of the job
market.
Moreover, urban life can be overwhelming. The high cost of living in cities can put a strain on young
professionals, especially those who come from rural backgrounds. Housing prices are skyrocketing, making
it hard for them to find affordable accommodation. Furthermore, the fast-paced lifestyle can contribute to
mental health issues, as many young people feel isolated and stressed in a competitive environment.
Finally, the rapid industrialization and urbanization have significant environmental consequences.
Increased industrial activity leads to pollution, while urban expansion often encroaches on green spaces.
This deterioration of the environment affects the quality of life for all city residents, including the youth,
who are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable practices.
Vietnamese youth must navigate these complex challenges, and understanding the underlying
issues is crucial for developing effective policies. By fostering skill development, providing mental health
support, and promoting sustainable urban planning, society can help young people thrive in an evolving
landscape.

Read the following passage about the Job Seekers in Major Cities and mark the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
(I).The job market in major cities today presents a host of challenges that impact job seekers significantly.
(II) The rapid growth of technology and changing economic conditions contribute to a precarious job
environment, making it difficult for young workers to secure meaningful positions. (III)
One major challenge is the oversaturation of candidates for entry-level jobs. Many employers prioritize
experience over potential, leaving fresh graduates with limited opportunities. Additionally, the rising cost of
living in urban areas exacerbates the situation, as young professionals often cannot afford to remain
unemployed while searching for jobs. (IV)
The shift toward remote work and the gig economy adds another layer of complexity. While these options
provide flexibility, they often come without benefits, leading to financial instability and uncertainty. As a
result, many young workers are forced to accept multiple short-term gigs, which can hinder their long-term
career development.
Ultimately, the implications of these challenges extend beyond individual struggles; they can affect
overall economic growth and social stability. Policymakers and educational institutions must collaborate
to create training programs that equip young job seekers with relevant skills and promote pathways to
secure employment. By addressing these issues, cities can cultivate a more dynamic workforce ready to
meet the demands of the modern economy.
