Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question:
Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the same amount
as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they could not ask their parents
about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice. In most cases they tell their friends how to dress
and act when being around certain people.
Love relationship just makes it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in school
because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their work.
Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and the majority of them
grow up to ask and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who have experienced a family
break-up may have lower achievements than children brought up in an intact family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involved their friends, family, and
their love relationships. The relationships affect them so much that most teenagers change their ideas about
how they should live their lives in a different way and to change their future goals. They should be influenced
to help themselves and to help others.

Making the leap from school to university
Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are excited about it,
they should also be aware of the difference between university and school.
At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular assignments and
provide support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of your learning at university
involves self-studying and project work that you need to plan and complete by a certain date. It is your
responsibility to review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do research to find information in the library or online.
Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact with them
mostly in a school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very familiar. By contrast, at
university, you not only have more contacts, but you also meet people from different backgrounds. Therefore,
you need better social skills to deal with any conflict you may come into when interacting with other people.
As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the daily care and
support you need. You don’t have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself. You have
your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go to university, you will probably
move away from home and start to live independently. You need to improve your life skills so that you can
manage your own life.
Question 27: What is the text mainly about?
A. A comparison between school life and university life.
B. An explanation why university life is more interesting.
C. Advice on how to leap into university life.
D. A report on the difficulties of university life.
Question 28: What does the word ‘them’ in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. classrooms B. teachers C. assignments D. resources
Question 29: What does most of the learning at university involve?
A. Classroom interactions B. Group of friends
C. Self-studying and project work D. Small social circle
Question 30:. The word ‘contacts’ in paragraph 3 mostly means __________.
A. people you know B. physical interactions you have
C. people you want to contact D. social benefits you have
Question 31: According to the passage, what do university students need better social skills for?
A. to interact with familiar classmates B. to manage their own life skills
C. to deal with conflicts with people from different background D. to complete regular assignments
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word that best fits each
of the numbered blanks.
 Peers affect each other just by spending time together. You learn from them, and they learn from you.
It’s natural to listen to and learn from other people your age.
Peers can affect you in many ways. For example, you might see what teens in your class are wearing,

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer the correct answer to each of
the following questions.
One threat to South East Asia’s biodiversity is the illegal wildlife trade. Worth approximately US$20
billion annually, it’s the fourth-biggest illegal trade in the world.
In Southeast Asia, hunting represents the greatest threat to the future survival of many species, with
few native mammals of over 2kg surviving outside protected areas. Hunting represents a threat to all species,
with high-value species sought and traded by criminal groups and smaller species traded for medicine, food or
sport.
Trade in wildlife in Asia can be grouped into three main types: for medicinal purposes, for status
(either in wildlife restaurants or as ornaments) or for the pet, zoo and aquarium trades (principally birds and
reptiles).
Traditional medicine in Viet Nam and China represents a threat to a wide variety of species, but most
notably the pangolin, which is the most trafficked animal on the planet. Sadly, the use of endangered species
in medicine shows little sign of decrease. Whereas celebrities have campaigned for species that are targeted
for status and ornamentation, such as elephant ivory, many other animals and plants have failed to get the
attention needed to prevent over-exploitation. And a number are now facing extinction.
The pet and zoo trade in wildlife, especially for reptiles and birds, have recently received attention, as
many species formerly thought to be captive-bred are now known to be wild-caught. They have suffered
serious population declines as a result of exploitation for trade.
