The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia (bách khoa toàn th ) Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give
everyone on the planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of
information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject.
Unlike other encyclopedias, however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These
writers are not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they
want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge.
The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real popularity for
encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of
encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of
information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an
online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet

into future relationships.
In an evolving culture where parents spend more time working and less time with their child, the
child’s overall development is the one to suffer- the long-term implications of which not yet fully realized.
Yet, it is important to step back and consider the quality of the current cultural environment and the illdeveloped children it may produce, obviously this leads to the disability to handle relationships and the child
fail to function better both socially and professionally, and this may impact generation after generation.
Children need their parents to be affectionate, caring beings, whether working parent or stay-home
parent; it doesn’t matter much. What really counts is that the parent loves the child, fosters secure
attachments with her child and fathoms of what the child’s needs are. Otherwise, it is society that bears the
consequences; its citizens are all ill- developed ones.

people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people
in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring.
Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns are superior to big cities. Still,
I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in a large city than to feel secure but bored.

II. Topic: What do you think of the changes in life?
Everything in the universe is in constant change. And everything needs continual improvement if the
ever changing and increasing demands of humankind are to be met. If I am ever given the chance to change
one important thing about my home town, it would be internet service. Needless to say that nothing generally
revolutionized the way we live as internet in the past decade. Thus, an improvement in this vital service would
mean an even more, unheard betterment to the people in my home town.
It is said that information is power. True saying indeed! I can envision how everything in my home town
could improve dramatically if the internet service in it were made free, fast and staying out there like
electricity, telephone or water all the time. One thing, a fast free and reliable internet service could improve in
my home town is the way people work. If there is a this said service people in my home town must not
necessarily commute to a far place to do their job. This in turn would mean less traffic jams, spacious work
place, more time for family and recreation and so on.

answer to each of the questions from number 51 to 55
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected
all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference
between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary
changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn all the other things they
learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never
give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act
as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he
was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the
help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a
good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let
him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to
help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of
grades, exam, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must


✟


A. They give children correct answers
B. They point out children’s mistakes to them
C. They allow children to mark their own work
D. They encourage children to copy from one
another
Question 53: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are____.
A. not really important skills
B. more important than other skills
C. basically different from learning adult skills D. basically the same as learning other skills
Question 54: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be
estimated by___.
D. parents
A. educated persons
B. the children themselves C. teachers
Question 55: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are____.
A. too independent of others
B. too critical of themselves
C. unable to think for themselves
D. unable to use basic skills
From the four words or phrases (A, B, C or D) choose the one that best completes the sentences

II. Topic: Factories in residential areas produce both positive and negative effects to people’s lives. Do you
agree or disagree?
If a large factory is going to be built near your community, is it good or bad? It’s a quite difficult
question to answer. Because there are many aspects to take into your consideration - the advantages and the
disadvantages. Let’s talk about that.
✁

But in other hand, a factory may be a good news to us. It can provide more jobs for us, especially for
the young people in our community. Since the factory is near, it’s so convenient to go to work, and the factory
will get more chances to our area. It will help to develop our area. So if the factory can bring us a lot of
chances, we will agree to build one. But the most important things are:
1. Build the factory in a safe distance from our community, not too near.
2. Make sure that the factory can deal with the waste properly. Do not release the poisonous gas into the air,
and not release the waste water into the river nearby.
3. Make sure the security guard in the factory works very well.
-------THE END--------
