Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

Tet, or Vietnamese Lunar New Year, is the most important festival in Vietnam, marking the arrival

of spring and a fresh start. It is a time for family reunions, ancestor worship, and various traditions meant

to bring good fortune. Before Tet, families clean their homes, decorate with peach or apricot blossoms,

and prepare special foods. Markets become busy as people buy ingredients, new clothes, and gifts, creating

a joyful atmosphere across the country.

Traditional foods play a key role in Tet celebrations, with banh chung (square sticky rice cake) and

banh day (round sticky rice cake) symbolizing the Earth and sky. These foods are not only enjoyed during

the holiday but also offered to ancestors as a sign of respect. Families gather to cook these cakes together,

which strengthens bonds and preserves traditions. While some regions celebrate with pickled onions and

boiled chicken, others add various sweets to enrich the festivities with their unique culinary heritage.

Many customs during Tet are believed to bring good luck for the new year. The first visitor to a

home is thought to influence the family’s fortune, so people carefully choose someone with a positive

spirit. Giving red envelopes filled with money to children and elders is another tradition symbolizing

prosperity. Colorful lion dances, fireworks, and festive gatherings create an energetic and hopeful start

to the year.

More than just a holiday, Tet reflects Vietnam’s cultural identity and deep-rooted traditions. It

strengthens family and community ties while preserving customs passed down through generations. As

modernity influences daily life, Tet remains a steadfast reminder of the importance of heritage, unity, and

the enduring spirit of the Vietnamese people.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

[I] In February 2025, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) joined a growing number of

school districts in a lawsuit against major social media companies, including Meta, Snap, and ByteDance.

[II] The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in California, alleges that these platforms are intentionally

designed to maximize screen time and foster addictive behaviors among youth. [III] HISD, along with

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD and Conroe ISD, has retained legal representation on a contingency basis,

meaning the law firms involved will only be compensated if the case is won or settled favorably. [IV]

This legal action reflects a broader concern about the impact of social media addiction on young

people’s mental health. Recent observations by addiction specialists have highlighted that those addicted

to technology and social media exhibit withdrawal symptoms similar to those experienced by substance

abusers. For instance, Lee Fernandes, an addiction specialist at UKAT, has reported cases where

individuals spend excessive amounts of time on platforms like YouTube - up to 15 to 17 hours daily - and

experience symptoms such as shaking, sweating, and insomnia when attempting to reduce usage. These

findings underscore the severity of social media addiction and its profound effects on individuals’ well-

being.

In response to these growing concerns, various initiatives have been proposed to mitigate the

negative impacts of excessive social media use. One such initiative is “Phone-Free February,” which

encourages individuals to reduce screen time to improve tmental health, sleep quality, and productivity.

Research indicates that high social media usage is linked to increased feelings of depression and self-

comparison. Experts suggest that gradual steps, such as replacing screen time with activities like reading

or engaging in hobbies, establishing screen-free zones, and utilizing app blockers, can help individuals

manage their social media consumption more effectively.

Legislative measures are also being considered to address this issue. In Connecticut, a bipartisan

group of lawmakers has expressed support for legislation aimed at restricting cellphone usage among

children and teenagers, particularly concerning social media access. The proposed law, advocated by

Attorney General William Tong, seeks to protect minors from technology addiction by implementing

measures such as prohibiting social media use between midnight and 6 a.m. Also, this law requires

companies to implement more robust age verification processes to ensure minors are adequately

protected. These efforts aim to curb the rising rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues

associated with excessive social media use among the youth.

(Adapted from houstonchronicle.com; ctinsider.com)

This, in turn, has led to negative consequences such as reduced attention spans and diminished

C. Minors must provide official identification before using social media platforms under this law.

D. The law requires companies to strengthen their age verification systems for better child protection.

Question 38: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. “Phone-Free February” requires individuals to completely avoid social media for a month.

B. Addiction specialists believe social media addiction has few serious withdrawal symptoms.

C. The lawsuit claims social media platforms are deliberately meant to promote excessive usage.

D. HISD is the only school district in the US involved in the lawsuit against social media companies.

Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. The legislation aims to restrict children and teenagers from using their cellphones.

B. Connecticut lawmakers recognize a link between social media use and mental health issues.

C. The proposed law suggests that all social media use is harmful to minors at any time of the day.

D. Families are required to verify users’ ages strictly before allowing access to social media.

Question 40: Which of the following best summaries the passage?

A. Lawsuits filed by school districts against social media giants reflect a broader societal concern

about the addictive nature of these platforms and their far-reaching impact.

B. Fueled by growing concerns over social media addiction, various stakeholders are taking legal,

legislative, and individual action to mitigate its negative effects on youth.

C. While legal actions against social media companies highlight the dangers of excessive screen time,

initiatives like “Phone-Free February” emphasize the importance of individual responsibility.

D. Legislative efforts, such as the proposed law in Connecticut, seek to restrict minors’ access to

social media and enforce stricter age verification measures to protect their mental health.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

In July 2023, Meta launched Threads, a social media platform meant to compete with Twitter by

allowing real-time conversations. The app quickly became popular, reaching over 100 million users within

a week. However, as more people started using Threads, some behaviors from other social media

platforms also appeared, making people question the authenticity of the content being shared. Some users

began posting in a way that seemed overly dramatic or exaggerated, making their opinions sound more

important than they actually were.

One common trend on Threads is “rage bait” posts, which are written in a way that makes people

angry or emotional, encouraging them to leave comments. Journalist Katie Notopoulos tested this by

posting things designed to make people react strongly, and she found that these posts got more attention

because the platform’s algorithm seemed to promote content with a lot of engagement. While this strategy

helps posts go viral, it also raises concerns about whether people are sharing genuine thoughts or just

trying to get noticed.

Threads has also become a place for spreading rumors and conspiracy theories. After the 2024 U.S.

presidential election, some users started posting claims about election fraud. This created a lot of

arguments and showed how difficult it is for social media platforms to control false information.

Many people worry that these kinds of posts will make it harder to find accurate news and honest

discussions.

The situation on Threads shows how hard it is to manage online communities. While the platform

gives people a space to express their ideas, the rise of exaggerated posts and false information makes it

difficult to know what is real. Unless Threads finds ways to encourage meaningful conversations,

misleading or overly dramatic content will likely take over.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

[I] In February 2025, a significant proposal was introduced in Victoria, Australia, aiming to support

volunteer wildlife carers by adding a small fee to vehicle registration costs. [II] The plan suggests that

motorists pay an extra $2 on their car registration, with the funds directed towards a grant program for

those who rescue and care for injured and orphaned animals. [III] With over 5.39 million registered

vehicles in Victoria as of 2023, this levy could potentially generate more than $10 million annually to aid

wildlife carers. [IV]

Supporters of the proposal, including Animal Justice MP Georgie Purcell, emphasize the crucial

role that volunteer wildlife carers play in the community. These individuals often invest significant

personal time and resources into rescuing and rehabilitating animals, with existing grants capped at $3,000

- an amount many find insufficient for ongoing expenses like food and medical supplies. The additional

funds from the proposed levy would provide a more consistent and secure financial foundation, enabling

carers to continue their essential work without bearing the full financial burden themselves.

However, the proposal has sparked debate among the public. Some motorists express concern about

the

introduction

of

another

to

fees,

questioning

why

bear

responsibility for wildlife care funding. Gibbard acknowledges this perspective but urges the community

to recognize the invaluable service these volunteers provide. She highlights that without adequate support,

many carers may be unable to continue their efforts, potentially leaving numerous animals without the

necessary care and rehabilitation.

For the proposal to advance to parliamentary debate, it requires at least 10,000 signatures.

Advocates are actively campaigning to gather support, believing that the modest fee is a small price to

pay for the welfare of the region’s wildlife. They argue that a collective contribution from motorists can

17

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

In February 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new rule to stop the use of

paper straws in government buildings and return to plastic straws. This decision canceled a previous policy

that tried to minimize single-use plastics, including straws, to help protect the environment. Trump argued

that paper straws are weak, break easily, and do not work well with hot drinks. He also questioned whether

plastic straws really harm the environment as much as people say.

The new rule tells all government offices to stop buying paper straws and replace them with plastic

ones. It also requires officials to create a national plan to remove paper straws from public spaces.

Supporters of this change believe paper straws are very expensive, less useful, and sometimes still come

wrapped in plastic, making them less environmentally friendly. In contrast, some businesses that produce

plastic products have welcomed the decision, arguing that it supports American manufacturing.

However, many environmental groups strongly disagree with this decision. They say plastic straws

and other plastic waste pollute the ocean and harm marine animals. They also argue that the switch

back to plastic straws ignores efforts to reduce waste and find better alternatives. This issue has started a

bigger debate about how to balance convenience, business interests, and protecting the environment.

Trump’s decision is part of a larger trend of changing environmental rules. It raises questions about

whether protecting businesses or protecting nature should be a bigger priority. The debate over plastic and

paper straws is just one small part of a larger conversation about how to take care of the planet.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

[I] In recent years, brain drain has become a growing concern for many countries, especially those

struggling to retain highly skilled workers and young professionals. [II] This phenomenon occurs when

educated and talented individuals leave their home regions in search of better career opportunities, higher

salaries, and improved living conditions elsewhere. [III] Governments and organizations around the world

are now looking for ways to address this issue. [IV]

One recent example is Portugal, where the government introduced a new policy in November 2024

to tackle the brain drain problem. The country has seen a large number of young professionals leaving for

better-paying jobs in other European nations, which has negatively impacted its economy. To counter

this, Portugal announced a ten-year tax break plan that offers young workers a 100% income tax

exemption in their first year of employment, followed by gradually reduced exemptions over the next nine

years. This initiative aims to make staying in Portugal more financially attractive for young professionals

and encourage them to contribute to the country’s economic development instead of seeking work abroad.

Similarly, in the United States, the Midwest has been struggling with a persistent brain drain as

many college graduates move to bigger cities in search of better job opportunities. A report from February

2024 showed that many Midwestern and Great Plains states lost more educated residents than they gained

in 2022. The main reason behind this migration is the lack of well-paying jobs, as well as limited career

growth in many industries. This trend has raised concerns among policymakers, who fear that the

continued loss of talent could weaken local economies and make it even harder to attract businesses and

investments to these regions.

To address this issue, some cities have started taking action. In St. Louis, Missouri, Washington

University commissioned a study in late 2024 to explore strategies for keeping more graduates in the area.

The report emphasized that competitive salaries, affordable housing, and strong social connections play a

crucial role in encouraging young professionals to stay. By focusing on these key factors, the city hopes

to build a more attractive environment for skilled workers and prevent further talent loss. Other

regions facing similar problems are also considering adopting similar measures, recognizing that retaining

talent requires more than just job opportunities - it also depends on the overall quality of life in a given

area.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

Vietnam is undergoing rapid urbanization, with major infrastructure and development projects

shaping the country’s future. In November 2024, the National Assembly approved a high-speed railway

connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This 1,541-kilometer (957-mile) railway will allow trains to

travel at speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour (217 miles per hour), reducing travel time between the

two cities from 30 hours to just five. The project is expected to begin construction in 2027, with the first

trains becoming operational by 2035. With 23 passenger stations and five freight stations along the route,

the railway aims to enhance transportation, boost economic growth, and support Vietnam’s ongoing

urbanization.

Another major project reflecting Vietnam’s rapid urbanization is the Trump Organization’s

partnership with Vietnamese real estate developer Kinh Bac City. In October 2024, they announced a $1.5

billion investment in Hung Yen province, near Hanoi, to develop a luxury complex. The project will

include

two

54-hole

golf

courses,

high-end

hotels,

resorts,

and

a

modern

residential

area.

This

collaboration is expected to draw in both local and international visitors.

Along with infrastructure expansion, urbanization in Vietnam presents both opportunities and

challenges. New projects create more jobs, improve transportation, and contribute to economic

growth, making cities more modern and efficient. However, rapid development also brings issues such

as increased pollution, overcrowding, and rising living costs, which can affect the quality of life for many

residents.

These recent developments demonstrate Vietnam’s commitment to modernization and economic

progress. With investments in transportation, real estate, and urban planning, the country is shaping its

cities to be more connected and livable. In the same way, countries like South Korea are investing heavily

in smart city initiatives and advanced infrastructure, enhancing urban life and promoting their economic

growth through innovation and sustainability.

answer to each of the following questions.

[I] In February 2025, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, unveiled its latest AI model,

Grok 3, which Musk claims surpasses competitors like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DeepSeek’s V3 in areas such

as mathematics, science, and computer programming. [II] This advanced model is now accessible to

premium subscribers on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. [III] Additionally, xAI

introduced a new feature called “Deep Search,” designed to provide detailed explanations for its search

responses, enhancing user understanding and interaction with the AI system. [IV]

While these claims position Grok 3 as a formidable contender in the AI landscape, they have yet to

undergo independent verification. However, notable figures in the AI community have acknowledged

Grok 3’s advanced capabilities, suggesting it represents a significant leap forward in AI technology. xAI,

founded in 2023, is actively seeking to raise $10 billion in funding to further its research and development

efforts. This development occurs amidst a legal dispute between Musk and OpenAI, wherein Musk is

challenging OpenAI’s planned transition to a for-profit entity, highlighting the competitive and rapidly

evolving nature of the AI industry.

In a related development, Dell Technologies Inc. is expected to provide lower earnings guidance

for fiscal 2026, primarily due to unpredictability in the AI server market, especially delays related to

Nvidia’s Blackwell AI-chip platform. Despite this, Dell maintains a positive outlook, bolstered by

significant AI-server deals, including a $5 billion contract with Elon Musk’s xAI startup. This contract

aims

rapid

deployment

by

mid-2025,

underscoring

increasing

demand

for

AI

infrastructure. Analysts suggest that while near-term inconsistencies in AI-server revenue may occur,

strong long-term growth is anticipated as shipments of advanced AI chips increase.

These developments highlight the dynamic and competitive nature of the AI industry, with

companies like xAI pushing technological boundaries and firms like Dell adapting to meet the growing

infrastructure needs. As AI continues to advance, collaborations and strategic investments are

becoming increasingly crucial to support the computational demands of cutting-edge AI models.

The interplay between AI developers and hardware providers exemplifies the interconnected ecosystem

driving innovation in artificial intelligence.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

In recent years, Vietnam has seen a significant number of university graduates, facing challenges in

securing employment aligned with their fields of study. A report by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and

Social Affairs highlighted that annually, over 100,000 university graduates remain unemployed, with up

to 60% accepting jobs unrelated to their majors. This trend underscores a growing mismatch between

academic training and labor market demands, prompting many graduates to explore alternative career

paths.

For instance, graduates with degrees in English have increasingly ventured into diverse sectors

beyond traditional teaching roles. A study focusing on Vietnamese English-major graduates revealed that

many have successfully transitioned into fields such as business, technology, and international relations.

These individuals often leverage their language proficiency and critical thinking skills to adapt to various

professional environments, highlighting the versatility of their academic background.

Additionally, the Vietnamese government has been proactive in addressing these employment

challenges by promoting vocational training and international collaboration. Notably, partnerships with

countries like Germany have opened avenues for graduates in sectors such as nursing. These

programs offer vocational education combined with practical work experience, enabling participants to

secure stable employment abroad. Such initiatives not only alleviate domestic employment pressures but

also equip graduates with valuable skills applicable in global contexts.

Moreover, the rise of private and international educational institutions in Vietnam has expanded

opportunities for pedagogical graduates. These institutions often seek educators with diverse skill sets,

including proficiency in foreign languages and familiarity with international curricula. As a result,

graduates are increasingly pursuing roles in bilingual schools, international programs, and educational

consultancy services, thereby broadening their career prospects beyond conventional public school

teaching positions.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best

answer to each of the following questions.

[I] In October 2024, a significant study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology

raised concerns

about the health implications of standing desks.

[II] These desks have become

increasingly popular in modern workplaces. [III] Researchers from the University of Sydney conducted

an extensive analysis involving over 83,000 British adults, tracking their health data over a period of

seven to eight years. [IV]

The findings revealed that merely standing for extended periods does not confer the anticipated

benefits for heart health. In fact, the research indicated that standing for more than two hours daily was

associated with an 11% increase in the likelihood of developing circulatory problems, such as varicose

veins and deep vein thrombosis, for every additional 30 minutes spent standing. This challenges the

common perception that standing desks are a straightforward solution to the health risks posed by

prolonged sitting.

Dr. Matthew Ahmadi, the lead author of the study, emphasized that while reducing sedentary

behavior is essential, simply substituting sitting with standing is insufficient. He stated, “The key

takeaway is that standing for too long will not offset an otherwise sedentary lifestyle and could be risky

for some people in terms of circulatory health.” This underscores the necessity of incorporating regular

physical activity into daily routines rather than relying solely on standing as an alternative to sitting.

The study also highlighted that prolonged sitting remains a significant concern, with each additional

hour beyond ten hours daily increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 26%. Professor Emmanuel

Stamatakis, a co-author of the research, suggested practical measures to reduce these risks, such as taking

regular breaks, participating in walking meetings, and using stairs instead of elevators. He noted, “For

people who sit for long hours, incorporating small movements throughout the day can make a significant

difference in overall health.”

In conclusion, while standing desks offer an alternative to traditional seating arrangements, this

research indicates that they are not a panacea for the health issues associated with sedentary lifestyles. A

balanced approach that combines reduced sitting time with increased physical activity appears to

be more effective. Employers and individuals should consider integrating movement and exercise into

daily routines to address the multifaceted challenges of workplace health.
