 The author’s main purpose in the passage is to …
 What is the main topic of this passage?
 What s the best title for the passage?
 What does the first/ second/ … paragraph discuss?
 What is the purpose of the passage?
 The most suitable title for the passage could be …
=> Ý tưởng chính của đoạn văn thường tập trung ở phần đầu của đoạn văn, do đó chúng ta nên tập
trung vào phần đoạn văn đầu trong bài. Tuy nhiên, có những bài câu hỏi “main ideas” được đặt
xuống cuối trong thứ tự các câu hỏi của bài. Với trường hợp này, ý tưởng của đoạn văn sẽ được rút
ra từ việc hiểu nội dung của toàn bài. Do đó, câu này nên làm cuối cùng.
Ví dụ 1:
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out.
In Korea, for example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house.
According to tradition, a magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return
with a new tooth for the child. In other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children
follow a similar tradition of throwing their lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.

We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very
difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this
is not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in
an adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise.

What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Different types of books B. Different kinds of reading

 Chỉ tập trung vào tìm “keywords”.
 Lướt từng hàng của bài đọc và chỉ dừng lại khi phát hiện ra “keywords”
 Đôi khi không tìm được chính xác “keywords” mà có những từ/ cụm từ đồng nghĩa/ trái
nghĩa.
Bước 3: Dừng lại khi thấy “keywords”.
Đọc kỹ thông tin trước và sau “keywords” xem nó có phục vụ cho việc trả lời câu hỏi không. Nếu
nó không liên quan đến câu hỏi, tiếp tục tìm lần lượt những chỗ mà “keywords” xuất hiện cho đến
khi tìm ra câu trả lời cho câu hỏi.
Ví dụ 1:
Birds aren’t the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says
a mouse takes a lost tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for
taking teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian
angels of the people. Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth
is fed to a guardian angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child’s lost tooth in a
piece of meat and feed it to a dog.
(Trích từ đề thi THPTQG 2017)

Ví dụ 2:
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most
marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the
custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers
had little say in it since they rarely made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would
meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more
money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that
her father choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good
family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside their social class.
(Trích từ đề minh họa lần 3 năm 2017)
The author mentions all of the following in the passage EXCEPT _______ .
A. People tended to marry outside their social class
B. Men made almost all decisions inside the family

5
C. Marriage used to be a deal between two families
D. The wedding date was decided by the fathers
=> Với dạng câu hỏi đúng/ sai, có/ không thì ta có hai cách làm. Cách 1 là ta gióng từng đáp án vào
thông tin trong bài xem có hay không, đúng hay sai. Ví dụ, với câu này, chúng ta căn cứ vào câu
cuối của đoạn văn “It was very unlikely that people married outside their social class.”
=> Đáp án là A.
3. Câu hỏi tìm mối liên hệ

+ Thử thay thế từ liên hệ bằng từ/ cụm từ đã cho xem có hợp lý không?
Ví dụ 3:
“Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always
been the case in society. Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is
today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while women died even sooner
because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect
themselves by having more children while they were still young. The parents lived through
their children.”
(Trích từ đề minh họa lần 3, 2017)
The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. marriage B. a choice C. society D. the average lifespan
=> Căn cứ vào thông tin phía trước của từ “it”: “Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was
shorter than it is today.”
(Hàng nghìn năm trước, tuổi thọ trung bình ngắn hơn bây giờ.)
Do đó, “it” = “the average lifespan” nên đáp án là D.
BÀI TẬP LUYỆN TẬP
Passage 1
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Despite predictions that the traditional media were going to disappear in the internet age,
newspapers, the radio and television have managed to survive. However, their survival has come at a
price. Digital technology has given birth to social media, tools that allow ordinary people to create,
share and exchange information without the need for the usual news channels. Moreover, social media
is also attracting a large share of advertisers' money away from the traditional media. As a result,
newspapers, the radio and television are always looking for ways to hurt their new rival and they are
more than happy to publish stories that play on people's fears about how untrustworthy and unsafe
social media is.
As all football fans know, the sports media has to work harder between matches to fill their pages
and sites. The most popular method of doing this is by speculating about the players that clubs might
buy or sell, especially talented foreigners. However, many readers often suspect that these stories are
the products of lazy journalism and, if not completely false, contain very little truth and a lot of
exaggeration. One Irish football fan decided to find out by using social media to invent Masal Bugduv,
a sixteen-year old football superstar from the small Eastern European country of Moldova. The fan
set up a Wikipedia page for the player that explained that Bugduv had already played for his national
team and that his nickname was 'Massi'. He then wrote false press agency stories that claimed Bugduv
would soon join Arsenal and sent them to sports blogs. The blogs accepted the stories as true, but the
big surprise came when The Times newspaper included an article entitled Football's Top 50 Rising
Stars. At number thirty on the list was 'Moldova's finest', sixteen-year-old Masal Bugduv, who had
been linked with Arsenal and 'plenty of other top clubs as well.'
While most people would agree that the traditional press should warn people about the dangers
of new technology, it is also good to know that social media can expose the unprofessional practices
6
of some journalists. The more they zoom in on each other's unacceptable practices, the better for the
readers.
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
Question 1. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Moving away from ‘Massi’ journalism. B. Who can you trust?
C. Media Wars: Social vs Traditional. D. It’s all about the reader.
Question 2. The word ‘speculating’ in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. confirming B. emphasizing C. guessing D. exaggerating
Question 3. According to paragraph 2, which aspect was it that the Times newspaper got wrong about
Masal Bugduv?
A. His nickname was not actually ‘Massi’.
B. He had not really been linked with a move to Arsenal.
C. He hadn’t actually starred for his national team.
D. He did not even really exist.
Question 4. The word ‘they’ in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. dangers B. social media C. practices D. journalists
Question 5. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. Traditional media outlets often have a conflict of interest when posting about safety concerns
with social media.
B. Sports journalists prefer to publish stories about talented foreigners over domestic stars because
they gain more interest.
C. Most stories surrounding football transfers are products of lazy journalism.
D. Many more traditional news journalists have been exposed for their unprofessional practices
since the ‘Masal Budguv’ story

READING COMPREHENSION 1:
When it comes to preparations for studying abroad, the very first challenge for students is
how to live independently. Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a faraway country
often ingrains an obscure fear of loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a plan to earn a
degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves with essential skills to start a truly
independent life as soon as possible.
First and foremost, you do not need to be an excellent cook but should know basic cooking
skills to feed yourselves. Suppose that you experienced a pandemic period, you would have to cook
at home due to social distancing and most restaurant closures.
Second, clean-up and household skills are of equal importance. To lower accommodation
costs, many students often choose to share apartments with other mates. Definitely, no one wants to
stay with those who are untidy and do not know how to do simple household tasks, so make sure
that you can do daily housework well enough. Third, money management is a challenging task for
most overseas students. Some students are often flat broke at the end of the month because they
cannot handle their budget. It’s advisable to be a smart shopper by making a suitable shopping list
and keeping an accurate record of your daily expenses to avoid pointless debt.
In short, the pieces of advice will hopefully make your independent life easier when you go
to university in another country.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to face loneliness and helplessness at home
B. Ways to gain independence while studying abroad
C. Overseas students and problems with additional expenses
D. Young students’ adjustment to sharing an apartment
2. What does the word those in paragraph 3 mean?
A. flatmates B. acquaintances C. housekeepers D. instructors
3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT given in the list of advice to live
independently?
A. Cooking skills B. Clean-up skills
C. Communication skills D. Budget management skills
4. According to the passage, who might be short of money at the end of the month?
A. Students who buy a lot of learning materials and clothes
7
B. Students who live on foreign scholarships
C. Students who eat out frequently
D. Students who are incapable of managing their budget
5. Which of the following is true about the passage?
A. Students must be excellent cooks when living abroad.
B. Students ought to get used to washing clothes or making the bed.
C. Students don’t need to pay attention to what they buy every day.
D. Keeping an accurate record of daily expenses is more effective than shopping smartly.
READING 2: CALORIES
A calorie, usually associated with food items, is a unit of energy or heat. Nearly every kind of food
and drink product contains calories, and some may have more calories than others. Calories are
important as they contain the energy needed for a human to survive, including breathing, moving
and pumping blood. Humans need to eat in order to get energy from the calories in their daily food,
so they eat all types of foods with a wide variety of ingredients, vitamins, nutrients, and other
substances that are helpful for the body.
Recently, people have paid more attention to the number of calories, which is measured by how
much potential energy the food contains. For example, 1 gram of carbohydrates or 1 gram of protein
has 4 calories while a gram of fat has 9 calories. Therefore, a person can determine the amount of
energy based on the number of carbohydrates, fats and proteins that the food product contains.
Each person also has a different number of calories needed although approximately 2000 calories
are suggested as the average number for most adults per day. The numbers of calories that people
need each day differs depending on their height, muscles, gender, age, and activity level. If a person
takes in more calories than needed, that person will often become overweight. In contrast, if a
person does not get enough calories needed for their body, they will usually lose weight. Hence,
counting calories is a good way to help people reach and maintain their weight and fitness goals, as
it involves tracking how much energy is going into the body each day.
26. Which of the following does the word associated in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. connected B. consumed C. needed D. digested
27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Calories are a unit of energy.
B. A gram of fat and a gram of protein have the same number of calories.
C. The number of calories needed for every person is different.
D. Taking more calories than needed can make a person gain weight.
28. How can people count calories of what they eat?
A. by looking for the suitable kind of food
B. by finding out how to cook the food
C. by measuring the food weight
D. by finding the ingredients of the food
29. Which of the following factors affects the number of calories people need?
A. how old they are B. how heavy they are
C. how much they know about nutrition D. how they achieve their fitness goals
30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Some types of food may have more calories than others.
B. The average number of calories most people need is about 2,000 per day.
C. Not all calories from foods are healthy.
D. A person can decide on the amount of energy from the food he eats.
