Câu hỏi 1
Đoạn văn câu hỏi
Part 1 – Relationship
Read the passage and answer the questions below.
The value of friendship
Recent research into the world of teenagers has suggested that they value friendship above everything else.
Children aged between 12 and 15 were asked what was important to them. Their answers included possessions
such as money and computer gadgets but also relationships with people. The teenagers questioned said that
friends were the most important to them, more even than family, or boyfriends and girlfriends.
We wanted to find out more about the results of this research so we asked our magazine's readers what they
thought about the value of friendship. Here are some examples of what they said about their friends:
Henry, 13:
Every time I have a fight with my parents, I spend some time on my own. But after that, meeting up with my
friends and doing some sporty exercises is the first thing I do. I usually feel much happier again after playing
football for a while, or skateboarding.
Jacey, 15:
When I moved to a village in the countryside, I thought that it would be the end of my friendships. But my old
friends have kept in touch and they come and visit in the holidays. There's a lake near the church, so we often
go sailing, water-skiing or swimming. And I have made some new friends here too, at school, and since I joined
the guitar club.
Josh, 11:
Last year, I broke my left arm on a skiing holiday. Entirely unexpected, because I am a left-handed person. My
school friends all helped and copied their notes for me after every class.
It seems that our readers value their friendships very highly. From what they told us, they spend a lot of time
with their friends, just hanging out, or sharing hobbies and interests. They seem to need their friends for advice,
help, chats, and for having fun. Clearly, friends make each other feel better. Looking at what our readers told
us, the results of the recent research are not really surprising.
Questions 26 – 30
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
26. Who is Henry, Jacey and Josh?

27. What is the best description of Henry?

28. Where is the lake that Jacey visits?

Part 2 – Places and Building
Read the passage and look at the statements below.
THE EIFFEL TOWER
A. World Fairs are grеаt adverts fоr countries. They show the world уоur national culture апd advertise уоur
country. World Fairs started in London in 1851 and celebrated industrial technology and design. Оthеr
countries also wanted to hold World Fairs. Now the event goes to а different country every few years - in 2010
it was iп Shanghai in China, then in 2015, it will be Turin, in Italy.

B. The Eiffel Тоwеr in Paris was the entrance to the 1889 World Fаir. Тhе Frепсh engineer Gustave Eiffel
designed the tоwеr. Не wanted to show that iron could be as strong as stone, and could also be much higher.
Construction of the tower started in 1887. 132 workers and 50 engineers completed it in two years and а team
of twenty-five painters used brushes to paint it. Тhеу needed approximately 60 tons of paint!

C. Many people didn't like the tower at first. They believed it was too tall for the city. They called it a ‘street
lamp' and ‘candlestick'. The writer Guy de Maupassant hated it, but enjoyed lunch in the tower's restaurant
every day. He explained that it was the one place in Paris where he didn't see the structure! The organisers of
the World Fair wanted to take down the tower after the event. They planned to sell the metal, but in the end this
didn't happen. The government decided the tower was important for communication.

D. World Fairs leave important buildings after them. Today the Eiffel Tower is a famous landmark of the city
of Paris. Around six million tourists visit it each year. The first World Fair had a big impact on society,
education, international business and the tourist trade. This is still true today.

Questions 31 – 35
Choose from the passage NO MORE THAN FOUR WORDS to complete the following sentences.

31. Many other countries outside London wanted to because London started it and celebrated
industrial technology and design in 1851.

32. It took 132 laborers and 50 engineers to finish in two years and a crew of
twenty-five painters to paint it.

33. When the World Fair ended, its organisers wanted to ; however, it didn't occur
because the government thought it was necessary for communication.

34. Every year, over six million visitors visit the Eiffel Tower, which is

of the city of Paris.

35. Many important buildings are left after the World Fairs, especially the London World Fair had

many fields, such as society, education, international business and the tourist trade.

Part 2:

Does the text express a positive or negative view of globalization in education?

A. Positive
B. Negative
A. Globalisation has affected most aspects of our lives. One area which has changed is education. More and
more people move to different countries for their studies. At the same time, more people stay at home and
study by distance learning. It is now easy to learn without attending a college or university, or attending less
often. 'Blended learning' means studying partly in a traditional way in the classroom and partly online or via
email. These changes also mean that there is now more interest in 'lifelong learning', the idea that we go on
learning throughout our working lives and even into retirement. It is easy to attend 'webinars' or online
seminars without being away from our offices. Many adults go back to college later in life because it is so easy
to get a qualification without giving up work or disrupting family life.

B. Different countries have benefitted from the globalisation of education in different ways. Many British,
Australian and American universities run their degree programmes in countries throughout Asia, and many
students, parents and employers feel this is a valuable opportunity. Students can get an internationally
recognised degree at a much cheaper price than going abroad and so can improve their chances of getting a
good job. At the same time, those in the countries providing world-class degrees also benefit. They have greater
access to ideas and knowledge from all over the world and having international students enriches their
universities.

C. However, it is not good news for everyone in some developing countries. It is usually the elite - or the
richest people in the large cities - who have access to international education. Many people in rural areas have
not even had a primary education. Also, those areas usually do not have reliable internet connections and most
people do not own a computer. It will take a bit more time for international opportunities to reach everyone in
developing countries.

D. One concern people have about globalisation is that it can start to mean 'westernisation'. In other words,
local knowledge can be lost and money seen as more important than culture. Education should treat every
culture with respect; it should not be just learning about the West, but should include different ways of teaching
and approaches from around the world. The aim is to enrich and share; the flow of ideas and information
should go from East to West as well as from West to East.

E. Educational institutions have changed their focus due to globalisation. There are so many benefits of having
overseas students that universities are competing for them, using strategies from the world of business. For
example, they visit Education Fairs all over the world and spend time and money creating publicity material
and advertisements. There is also more emphasis on the student experience. There is more focus on customer
care, especially helping international students to settle in, improve their English and understand the academic
culture of the host country.

F. There are many advantages to the globalisation of education and the workplace. More people get benefits
that were only available to those in the developed countries before. There is more understanding between
different nations as people learn about each other's cultures. However, it is important to make sure the benefits
reach everyone and don't leave many citizens of the developing world behind.

Exercise 7: Read the text and choose the correct answer

EDUCATION AND THE WORKPLACE IN THE UK

A. There has been a trend towards creating a closer connection between education/training and the workplace.
This is because many employers felt that school leavers were not prepared well enough and didn't have the
skills they would need to do well at work. Having a close relationship between training and work is not new:
apprenticeships were a common way of learning in the past. Young people learnt by working with an expert,
but this was most common in trades such as builders or electricians. The trend now is for a closer connection
between education and the workplace at all levels and in many different types of job.
B. In 1944, the UK government created a new system of education. Education was divided into three parts.
Children who passed an exam at 11 went to grammar schools. Pupils who didn't do well in the exam went to
'secondary modern' schools or technical schools. At technical schools they studied work-based subjects. In
practice, however, only 0.5% of pupils went to technical schools, and this system divided students at a very
young age into academic and non-academic. The system did not produce good results, and changed to a more
equal system in the 1970s.
C. In the 1980s the British government introduced NVQs or National Vocational Qualifications so that young
people could get certificates to show their practical skills. It helps employers understand what workers can do.
In 1994, the government started a programme which aimed to provide 'quality training on a work-based
(educational) route'. These 'modern apprenticeships' are available at three different levels.
D. At the higher levels of education, too, there has been more emphasis on work-based learning, which links
academic study closely to practical experience. At degree level, companies have linked with universities to
create specialised qualifications, such as the BA in Distribution run between Middlesex University and Asda
Supermarket. Such partnerships also exist at Masters and even doctorate level.
E. The development of technology has helped work-based learning to develop. Blended learning means part of
the course can be delivered online, so people don't have to miss work to go to classes. Older or recently retired
employees have been given the opportunity to develop new skills as tutors, mentors and coaches for the work-
based part of these courses. This kind of work-based training was common in fields such as nursing and
teaching, but has now spread to careers which were traditionally not closely linked to education.
F. There are some challenges involved in work-based learning. Some lecturers might find it difficult to teach
students with a lot of work experience. It may also be difficult to find teachers who can teach in different places
and at different times. However, it is a positive trend as there are more ways to learn and people can study at
different stages of their lives.

HOMEWORK
Exercise 1: Answer these questions
GLOBALISATION OF EDUCATION AND THE WORKPLACE
A. Globalisation has affected most aspects of our lives. One area which has changed is education. More and
more people move to different countries for their studies. At the same time, more people stay at home and study
by distance learning. It is now easy to learn without attending a college or university, or attending less often.
'Blended learning' means studying partly in a traditional way in the classroom and partly on line or via email.
These changes also mean that there is now more interest in 'lifelong learning', the idea that we go on learning
throughout our working lives and even into retirement. It is easy to attend 'webinars' or on line seminars without
being away from our offices. Many adults go back to college later in life because it is so easy to get a
qualification without giving up work or disrupting family life.
B. Different countries have benefitted from the globalisation of education in different ways. Many British,
Australian and American universities run their degree programmes in countries throughout Asia, and many
students, parents and employers feel this is a valuable opportunity. Students can get an internationally
recognised degree at a much cheaper price than going abroad and so can improve their chances of getting a
good job. At the same time, those in the countries providing world-class degrees also benefit. They have greater
access to ideas and knowledge from all over the world and having international students enriches their
universities.
C. However, it is not good news for everyone in some developing countries. It is usually the elite - or the richest
people in the large cities - who have access to international education. Many people in rural areas have not even
had a primary education. Also, those areas usually do not have reliable internet connections and most people do
not own a computer. It will take a bit more time for international opportunities to reach everyone in developing
countries.
D. One concern people have about globalisation is that it can start to mean 'westernisation'. In other words,
local knowledge can be lost and money seen as more important than culture. Education should treat every
culture with respect; it should not be just learning about the West, but should include different ways of teaching
and approaches from around the world. The aim is to enrich and share; the flow of ideas and information should
go from East to West as well as from West to East.
E. Educational institutions have changed their focus due to globalisation. There are so many benefits of having
overseas students that universities are competing for them, using strategies from the world of business. For
example, they visit Education Fairs all over the world and spend time and money creating publicity material
and advertisements. There is also more emphasis on the student experience. There is more focus on customer
care, especially helping international students to settle in, improve their English and understand the academic
culture of the host country.
F. There are many advantages to the globalisation of education and the workplace. More people get benefits
that were only available to those in the developed countries before. There is more understanding between
different nations as people learn about each other's cultures. However, it is important to make sure the benefits
reach everyone and don't eave many citizens of the developing world behind.

Exercise 3: Read the text below and choose the correct answer.
Sixteen - What now?
You’re 16 and finally you can leave school! By now, you’re probably sick of teachers, desks, tests and exams.
But don’t just run for the exit. You need to think carefully about what to do next.
If you want a professional career, you will need to go to university and get a degree. To do that, you need to
stay at high school for another two years. But you needn’t stay at the same place. There are several options in
the district of Northacre.
St. Leopold’s School has the best pass rate of all the high schools in the district. It offers a wide range of
subjects in the humanities and sciences. St Leopold’s is, of course, a private school, so may be too expensive
for you. But don’t worry, there are several other options if you want to follow the academic route. Knowle
Grammar School is a state school, so there are no fees, and it has excellent tuition and facilities. It is a boys’
school from the ages of 11-16, but from 16-18 it is co-educational. But it is selective, so you’ll have to pass an
exam to get in. If you’re interested in going into Business, check out Wyle River Academy. This school
specialises in subjects like Business Studies, Management and Economics. If you prefer the arts, look at the
courses on offer at Northacre College. Here you can study woodwork, art, textiles and much more.
Northacre College also offers a wide range of vocational qualifications. You can do a 1-year certificate or a 2-
year diploma in subjects like electrics, plumbing, roofing and hairdressing. If you’d prefer to work outdoors,
look at Milldown College, where there are courses in Farm Mechanics, Land Management, Animal
Management and much more.
A final option is to get an apprenticeship with a local or national company. You will get on-the-job training,
gain certificates or diplomas and start earning straight away. But be warned - places are limited! Find out more
at the Jobs Fair on 26th May at Northacre College.

The chart below shows the percentage of unemployed recent graduates and young non-graduates aged 21 to 30
between 1990 and 2015.

The line graph shows the number of unemployed recent graduates and non-graduates in the population of 21 to
30-year-olds in the years between 1990 and 2015. Overall, the numbers have not changed much: we can see a
fall, followed by a rise, in both groups. The non-graduates are a larger number than the recent graduates at all
points.
Between 1990 and 2000 there was a decrease in the number of unemployed recent graduates and non-graduates.
The fall was small from 1990 to 1995, but greater between 1995 and 2000. There was a small change in the
middle period. The number of non-graduates dropped and then grew during that period. Over the five years
from 2010 to 2015, the numbers of both nongraduates and recent graduates returned almost to their 1990
figures of 14% and 10%.
Overall, it is clear that having a degree is helpful in finding employment as more non-graduates than recent
graduates are out of work.
