Ho Chi Minh and His Passion for Lifelong Learning
Ho Chi Minh, the great leader of Vietnam, believed that learning was very important for everyone. He
thought that people should never stop studying, no matter how old they are. According to the website
baotanghochiminh.vn, he said that learning helps people broaden their mind and makes the country stronger.
This idea shows how much he valued education. His words inspire many Vietnamese people to keep learning
all their lives.
When Ho Chi Minh was young, he loved to read books and learn new things. He studied many
languages, like French, Russian, and Chinese, because he wanted to understand the world better. Even though
he was busy with his work, he always found time to study. The website explains that he often read newspapers
and books to gain knowledge about other countries. This habit helped him become a wise leader.
Ho Chi Minh also practiced self-learning, which means he taught himself without a teacher. He
believed that self-learning builds discipline and makes people more independent. For example, while
traveling to many countries, he learned about their cultures and ideas on his own. The museum notes that he
wrote in his diary to improve his thinking and writing skills. This shows how determined he was to keep
growing.
In conclusion, Ho Chi Minh’s life teaches us the value of lifelong learning and self-learning. He showed
that studying can happen anywhere, even without a classroom. His passion for knowledge made him a great
leader who inspired others. We should follow his example and never stop learning, because it helps us and our
communities. Lifelong learning is a powerful tool for everyone.

Read the following passage about powering 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.
Aging does not stop people from learning new things. According to WebMD, the brain remains capable of
growing and adapting even after 60. This ability, called neuroplasticity, helps older adults acquire new skills or
knowledge. While learning becomes harder with age, it offers many benefits and some challenges. This article
explores how seniors can keep their minds active.
One key benefit of learning after 60 is improved brain health. Studies show that activities like reading or
playing music boost memory and focus. For example, learning a new language can delay mental decline.
Moreover, these activities reduce the risk of diseases like dementia. When older adults challenge their brains,
they build new connections between brain cells, keeping their minds sharp.
However, learning at this age is not always easy. Vision or hearing problems can slow progress. Some
seniors also feel less confident because memory weakens over time. Despite these challenges, patience and
practice help them succeed. For instance, using larger print or hearing aids can make studying more comfortable.
With the right tools, obstacles become manageable.
[I] Seniors can start learning in simple ways. [II]Technology also helps—online courses are flexible and
convenient. Although progress may be slow, every small step counts. [III] The effort improves not only mental
health but also happiness and social life. [IV]
In conclusion, learning after 60 supports brain health and personal growth. Though challenges exist, they
can be overcome with determination and support. Older adults who stay curious show that age is just a number
when it comes to education.

Read the following passage 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 23 to 30.
Learning Computers at an Older Age
Learning to use a computer in old age can be both exciting and complex. Many older adults want
to stay connected with family or explore new hobbies. Computers offer a way to do this, but some people
feel nervous about technology. However, with patience and practice, anyone can learn. This skill opens
doors to a modern world full of opportunities.
The first step is understanding that age does not stop learning. Studies show that older adults
can master new skills when they take small, simple steps. For example, starting with basic tasks like
turning on a computer or sending an email builds confidence. Classes designed for seniors, often available
at libraries or community centers, provide helpful guidance. These programs teach at a comfortable pace,
which makes the process less stressful.
Technology also brings many benefits to older learners. They can video chat with grandchildren
who live far away or shop online without leaving home. Some enjoy playing games that keep their minds
sharp, while others join social media to reconnect with old friends. Although it might take time to get used
to keyboards or screens, the rewards are worth it. Each success, no matter how small, encourages them to
keep going.
Finally, support from family or friends plays a big role. When younger people explain things
clearly or sit with them during lessons, seniors feel more motivated. Mistakes are part of learning, so
patience is key. With effort and help, older adults can become comfortable with computers. This not only
boosts their independence but also shows that learning has no age limit. In today’s digital world, it is never
too late to start.

Read the following passage about powering 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.
Marie Curie is one of the most famous scientists in history. She was the first woman to win a Nobel
Prize and the only person to receive Nobel Prizes in two different fields: physics and chemistry. Her

10
discoveries in radioactivity changed science forever. Curie’s life shows us how determination and passion can
lead to great success, offering lessons for anyone who wants to achieve big dreams. [I]
Curie was born in Poland in 1867, where she grew up loving science. However, her family had little
money, and women at that time were not expected to study advanced subjects. Despite these difficulties, she
stayed determined. She saved money and moved to Paris to attend university. Once in Paris, she immersed
herself in her studies, which paved the way for her later success. Her hard work during these early years laid
the foundation for her future achievements. Building on this strong foundation, Curie went on to make
groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity. [II]
Curie’s most famous work was on radioactivity, a word she invented. She discovered two new elements
—radium and polonium—which helped scientists learn more about atoms. These discoveries not only advanced
scientific knowledge but also earned her international recognition, including two Nobel Prizes—an
achievement no other woman had accomplished at the time. Success did not come easily, though. She worked
in a small, cold laboratory and often lacked funds for her research. But Curie never gave up. Her love for
science and her ability to push through tough times made her a brilliant scientist who changed the world.
Beyond her scientific contributions, Curie's life story offers inspiration and guidance for nurturing the next
generation of innovators. [III]
Marie Curie’s life teaches us valuable lessons about raising future achievers. She inspires many,
especially women, to enter science and follow their passions. By following Curie's example, we can encourage
young people to pursue their dreams and not be imprisoned by their comfort zone. To nurture a Nobel Prize
winner, we should encourage curiosity, support education, and teach resilience. Curie’s story proves that with
dedication, anyone can overcome obstacles and make a difference. Her legacy lives on, showing that science is
open to all who dare to dream. [IV]
