One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training
programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training and work
experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical
as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a
vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future
occupation.
The rest of the time will be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired
knowledge in practice, for example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your
company does, learn how it operates, and find out if you can see yourself working there after
completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job. by the time you
have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will
also have hands - on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training
programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents.
You can find out which one that might be by visiting one of the jobs and vocational training fairs
which are organised in many German cities at different times in the year.

Read the following passage about lifelong learning 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] Lifelong learning is the ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for personal
or professional development (Knowles, 2020). [II] This concept emphasizes that learning does not
stop after formal education, but rather continues throughout an individual's life, adapting to changing
circumstances and needs. [III] In today’s fast-paced world, where technology and job markets evolve
rapidly, lifelong learning has become increasingly essential.
[IV] One of the primary benefits of lifelong learning is its ability to enhance employability.
Individuals who engage in continuous education are more likely to keep their skills relevant and
competitive in the job market. According to a report by the World Economic Forum (2021), over 50%
of employees will need reskilling due to technological advancements in the coming years. Lifelong
learners are better equipped to adapt to these changes, making them more attractive candidates for
employers.
Moreover, lifelong learning contributes to personal fulfillment and mental well-being. Engaging in
new learning experiences can stimulate the brain, foster creativity, and improve cognitive function.
Research indicates that individuals who pursue learning opportunities throughout their lives tend to
report higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction (Smith & Johnson, 2019). Whether it is taking

NGUYỄN VĂN PHÚ 4

a course, learning a new language, or picking up a new hobby, the process of acquiring knowledge
can be enriching and enjoyable.
In addition, lifelong learning promotes social engagement and community involvement. Participating
in educational programs or community workshops can foster connections with others who share
similar interests. This social aspect of learning can enhance one's sense of belonging and support
networks, which are crucial for mental health (Jones, 2022).
Overall, lifelong learning is not just an individual responsibility; it requires support from educational
institutions, employers, and communities to create an environment conducive to continuous
education. By fostering a culture of learning, society can better prepare individuals for the challenges
of the future and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

[I] Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects an estimated 90 percent of the world's
species have scientific names. [II] As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for
examining patterns of diversity and distribution. [III] Hence, they are an excellent group for
communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity. [IV]
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is
the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he
mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found
on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early
comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and
tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns very among different
animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or
tropical regions, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon
basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for
vertebrates. In other words, unlike comparison temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in
the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are
made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known
about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the greater part
of example because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors
generated by imperfect and incomplete classify will be minimized.

Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to
use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do
without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious
resources of the Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the outcomes that are occurring and
will take place in the future because of the plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing
plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases. Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers
as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic
means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every
year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India,
China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further
worsened by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like
India.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering
the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks,
beaches, and streets. About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed
every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and
therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and
decomposition of the animal. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-
biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to witness the
decomposition of plastic!
A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You can keep the bag
with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling the
bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes, like holding
your garbage. instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways to lessen
the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the
responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable,
but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives
to plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our
planet.

The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position:
all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know
the specific skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of
which are essential. In short, they wont know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your
position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements
of what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how
much did they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you
increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the
employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No,
they are interested in what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good one is
brief - three to four sentences long. A good one will make the person reviewing your application want
to read further.
Many resumes list 'hard' job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or 'soft', skills.
However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical
skills. All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are
applying. If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you
to draw a connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in
their organization. The person who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader
may take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say
exactly how good you are. On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie.

Read the following passage about and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. ⇱
There once was a time when parents had rules about their children's screen time. [I] Then the
coronavirus pandemic suddenly struck, and these regulations were quickly ignored as children stayed
at home full-time and became absorbed in watching YouTube videos on their iPads and smartphones.
[II] However, many experts think parents should not be upset about this at all. [III] What's more
important, experts say, is finding a balance and encouraging other healthy activities alongside screen
use. [IV]
Even before the pandemic, a great number of media researchers were already challenging the idea
that spending too much time on screen-based technology harms children the most, arguing that the
negative content that children are exposed to have far bigger impacts. A study conducted last year
which looked at tech use data from more than 17,000 teens in the US, UK and Ireland found that total
daily screen time had little measurable effect on teens' mental health. Another study in which data
from more than 35,000 US children was examined even showed that children who spent one to two
hours a day with technology showed higher levels of wellbeing that those who had no access at all.
Cori Cross, a pediatrician in Los Angeles, said she had readjusted her family's screen time rules lately,
lifting a ban on tech in the bedrooms so that her three children can comfortably do schoolwork and
relax when they want to and when she needs some quiet so as to work without being disturbed.
However. children still need physical activity, outdoor time, and connection with family, she says.
along with healthy sleep and diet. Taking this into account, some of the family's pre-quarantine tech
rules still apply: devices stay outside the bedroom when it's time to sleep, for example. Additionally,
she always makes sure that there are hours in the day when her children turn them off and find other
ways to amuse themselves.
Jenny Radesky, an assistant professor of pediatric has been constantly asked in recent weeks what the
right amount of screen time is in lockdown. And according to her, that is no single correct answer
considering the variety of factors like a child's age. a family's needs, and the mix of other activities
the child has access to in a given day. Radesky also thinks that if there's any tech-related skill parents
should teach their children now to help life return to normal after the pandemic she says, it's the ability
to selfregulate their tech use, which in a child's case means the ability to turn off a device willingly.
Eventually, schools, parks and libraries will reopen, and families will be able to return to rules
that make most sense for them. "When we get to the other and of this, you and your children will
hopefully look back and say, we came together and figured it out," Radesky says.
