The dramatic growth of the world's population in the twentieth century was on a scale without
parallel in human history. Most of this growth had occurred since 1950 and was known as the population
'explosion'. Between 1950 and 1980 the world population increased from 2.5 to over 4 billion, and by the
end of the twenty century the figure had risen to about 6.6 billion. Growth of this size cannot continue
indefinitely. Recent forecasts suggest that the total population will level out at between 10 and 15 billion in
the mid twenty first century. Already there are encouraging signs that the rate of increase in many less
developed countries is beginning to slow down.

answer sheet.
A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated
village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from' a rich country, I got quite a shock
as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The
people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside
was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the
women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted
organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it
worked first time. It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers,
who had never had running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was
hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think my time with OV was a good
experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone
who was considering working for a charity.
16. The author ______.
a. has been working for OV for a year
b. is living in the capital N'Djamena
 Mã đề: 001

c. was born in a rich family

17. How did the author feel when he arrived in the village?
a. surprised b. impressed c. disappointed d. depressed
18. Which of the following is not true?
a. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well.
b. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water.
c. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes.
d. Solar energy was used to heat water.
19. The word 'It' in line 10 refers to ______.
a. running water b. the pump c. the pineline d. the supply of water
20. What does the author think about his time with OV?
a. It was paid a lot of money. b. It provided good experience.
c. It wasted time. D. It was not worth working.

Passage 4 – (2.0 pts)
Read the passage below. Then read the sentences that follow and decide if each sentence is true (T) or false
(F).
If it is true, write T on your answer sheet.
If it is false, write F on your answer sheet.
I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the skills I learnt
in my college. I have recently completed a 16-week part-time accounting course (AAT Level 2 Certificate).
The course covered book-keeping, recording income and receipts and basic costing. We used a wide range
of computer packages, and I picked up the accounting skills easily. I was able to work alone with very little
extra help. I passed the course with merit. I believe my success was due to my thorough work, my numeracy
skills and my attention to detail. During the course, I had experience of working to deadlines and working
under pressure. Although this was sometimes stressful, I always completed my work on time.
Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practised my skills in a
business setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so. I am particularly looking for a job in a
small company such as yours, as I believe I will be able to interact with a wider range of people, and as a
result, learn more skills. I would like to progress within a company and gain more responsibilities over the
years.
Although I do not have work experience in finance, I have experience in working in an office
environment. Before starting the accounting course, I worked for 6 months in a recruitment office as a
receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and visitors, taking phone calls, audio and
copy typing and checking stock. I also had to keep the petty cash and mail records. Through this work, I
developed my verbal and written communication skills. I had to speak confidently to strangers and deliver
clear messages. I enjoyed working in a team environment. I believe the office appreciated my friendly
manner and efficient work.
1. The candidate has a qualification in accounting.
2. The candidate has a university degree in accounting.
