TEENAGERS AND SMART PHONES

Everyone knows that smart phones are very useful and, today, most of my friends at school have one
in their hands all the time. Watch a group of teenagers, and you will find that instead of talking to each other,
most of us are texting on our smart phones. Teenagers are always texting, and all this messaging can give us
Teen Texting Tendonitis which makes the hands, back and neck hurt.
Having a smart phone makes teenagers want to spend all day talking or texting, instead of doing things
that we are supposed to do, such as our homework. Teens who spend too much of their time with their
phones are always tired; they also start having other problems. In some cases, they may have headaches.
This happens because most teens keep their smart phones near them while sleeping, so that they can answer
texts and calls. They often feel they have to be available around the clock.
Using texting all the time as a way of communication can also make us teens worry a lot. Answering all my
friends' texts can make me happy, because it makes me feel popular. However, if any of my friends takes a
long time so send back a text, then I can feel very sad.

New York has Central Park; London has Hyde Park while Kuala Lumpur has its own piece of green belt amidst
the hustle and bustle of city life. It's an ideal place for a leisurely stroll in a tranquil setting, all without
having to leave the city. The Lake Gardens was created by Sir Alfred Venning, who persuaded the ruling

Passage 4.

Food Firsts

How much do you know about the history of some of your favorite foods? Do you know when peoplein
England started cooking curry dishes? Do you know in which country pizzas or hamburgers were first

made? The facts might surprise you.

Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In reality, wealthy
English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years before British ships traveled to
India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of King Richard I were making curry dishes, and in
fact, the word “curry” can be found in an English language cookbook as far back as 1377.

As for pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round,
flat bread with cheese in the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza became popular in Naples,
Italy!

Finally, let’s look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food.
However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A German named Otto
Kuasw created the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors introduced hamburgers to
Americans.

Where foods come from isn’t nearly as important as how they taste; as long as they are delicious! So, go
get some of your favorite food and dig in.

Passage 5.

Our happiness does not depend only on what we have, say scientists. What we realize we have is just as
important. This is why the rich often seem to be sad, but people with very little can be much happier with
their lives. It is surprising that we do not usually think about how lucky we are. Most of us have good health,
homes, and friends. We don't notice how good life normally is until we're feeling sad about something. But
we don't have to wait for something negative to happen. Instead, we should be thankful all the time for the
good things in our lives. We can do this by writing down five of them every night such as something that we
own, or the people we are fond of. By repeating this every day for a month, it will become a habit. People
who do this are healthier, more successful, and more satisfied with their own lives.

Question 1: Which best serves as the title of the passage?

A. Why poor people are happy B. Examples of happiness

lives?

C. We will be healthier and more successful. D. We will be happy every day for a month.

Passage 6.

In my view, there is usually one necessary subject missing from most school timetables. Very few students
are taught how to organize their learning and how to make the best use of their time. Let's have some
simple examples. Do you know how to look up English words in the dictionary? And do you understand all
the information the English dictionary contains? Can you take notes quickly, and can you understand them

Tài liệu lưu hành nội bộ Trung tâm ngoại ngữ Hireme

afterwards? For some reason, many schools give learners no help with these matters. Teachers ask students
to memorize pages from books, or tell them to write ten pages, or have them discuss in groups, but do not
explain how to do it. Learning by heart can be useful for many students, but it is important to have a real
understanding of a subject. You can waste a lot of time memorizing books, without catching on to anything
about the subject.

Passage 7.

Most people would say they know what stress is. But for scientists who study stress, it has been
surprisingly hard to define. This is because there are so many ways of looking at stress. Some researchers
have studied how our bodies react to stress. You know how your heart beats faster, you sweat more heavily,
and 3 your words do not come out right when you are placed in a stressful situation. But knowing how we
feel when we experience stress does not explain it; nor does it tell us what causes it.

Other scientists have looked at stressors: events or situations that produce stress. A deadline, a poor
test performance, or annoying noises all may be thought of as stressors. Even pleasant events can be
stressors. Planning a party or starting a new job can be just as stressful as being called to the headteacher’s

48
Tài liệu lưu hành nội bộ Trung tâm ngoại ngữ Hireme

office. Stress, then, can be caused by both negative and positive events, or stressors. Of course, whether an
event is thought of as positive or negative is, in some ways, a matter of personal choice.

In sum, it is the way people interpret an event that makes it stressful or not stressful. This process is
the judgement of the value, performance or nature of the event. Depending on how people examine, or judge
they may or may not consider them stressful.

Question 1: What is the passage mainly about?

Passage 8 (Lâm Đồng 2023)

Learning a new language is always an excellent idea. It provides you incredible benefits that come with the
backing of science! One of the most useful languages to learn is English. Learning a second language is one
of the best ways to keep your brain active and challenged. Learning another language offers
important cognitive benefits at any age, helping to keep the mind active and even reducing the risk of mental
disease and slowing mental decline later in life. When learning English as a second language, you approach
new ways to think and express yourself through written and spoken words. Learning multiple languages can
help you communicate more clearly in any language as you learn more about how language itself works and
how to use it to promote ideas and reach out to others in a variety of social and work situations. The world
may not have a global language, but English is the default option for countless forms of communication across
the globe. That’s why one of the benefits of learning English is that it significantly boosts your hiring potential.
In addition, it can offer you educational opportunities. If you desire access to some of the best schools like
Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge or MIT, then knowing English provides you an incredible edge. It’s
expected that around 2 billion people around the world will learn English over the next decade.

Passage 8.

Most of the people who like films are only interested in the leading actor or actress when they enjoy a film. It
seems to them that only the actors or actresses have made the film successful. They always pay attention to
their appearance, performance, and fashion. There are many film viewers who have no awareness of other
people’s work to make a film. A finished film is, actually, the result of the collaboration of many people, and
the most important among them are the scriptwriter, the cinematographer, the film editor, the actor, and the
director. Especially, in some thrilling scenes, the roles of stuntmen are very important. They are always in

Passage 9.

Worldwide, cities gain a million people a week. This kind of growth brings problems, and today of the world's
largest cities face similar challenges: high housing costs, pollution and crime. What are some urban planners
doing to fix these problems and improve people's lives?

To improve residents' lives, Hyderabad is planting trees and parks. The city is even creating "greener" buildings
that use less water and less electricity for power. Adding green to a city has a number of advantages. For
example, trees remove pollution from the air and make it cleaner. In Hyderabad, streets were gray and ugly
a few years ago. Today, they are filled with trees and flowers, making the city cleaner and more colorful.
Green areas also give people places to relax or exercise and walk. A study in the U.S. showed something else
interesting: the greener a neighborhood is, the less crime there is against people and property.

Many people work in the center of Sao Paulo, but they don't live there. They've spread out to neighborhoods
outside the city, where housing is cheaper. Every day, these people travel into the city, and traffic is very
heavy. Urban planners are using different strategies to address this issue. First, they are building better
subways. Another goal is to make it cheaper for people to live in the downtown area. Doing this will shorten
the distance people travel for work and x reduce traffic and pollution in the city.

The streets are crowded with traffic. Taxis are bringing tired people from the airport and the train stations to
the hotels. They hope to sleep a few hours before their busy day in the big city. Trucks are bringing fresh
fruits and vegetables into the city. Ships loading with food and fuel are tied up at the dock. Towards morning

Pasage 11.

It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school. British students are
helped by careers teachers, who inform them about different careers, the qualifications needed and try to
help them make up their minds. Mr Hemmings, a careers teacher as well as a History teacher, talks about his
experience.

‘I've been a careers teacher for around five years and, on the whole, I've found it a rewarding experience.
Our students have careers lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 and 16 years old). My
task consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the
type of work and personal skills involved.

Advising teenagers can be rather difficult – some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to do, or
of what the real world outside school really is. They come to me and say ‘I don't like routine nine-to-five jobs…
I'd like something exciting that pays well…' What can I say? That we're running out of exciting jobs? But they
usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a while…

Anyway here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know about their favourite
and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are happening so quickly around
here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you just don't know what to say. A few days ago I
asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind and he replied ‘I haven't any plans… You see, Sir, I don't
know what new jobs will replace today's'. What could I say?

Question 1. What do careers teachers in Britain help students?

sedge mats. The mats high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also exported to markets
worldwide.

In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here some

Passage 12. (Hậu Giang -2023)

The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is one of the world's most famous sights. The 324-metre-tall iron tower attracts millions of
tourists to Paris every year. It has been an iconic part of Paris' skyline for 133 years. However, it is showing
its age. Engineers recently conducted a survey of the monument. They found that its metal is full of rust. They
said it is “in a poor state”. They added that if its designer Gustave Eiffel was alive today and saw his creation,
“he would have a heart attack”. Engineers say there are many cracks in the iron. The tower needs many
repairs. A 2016 report on the tower stated there were 698 faults on the tower. These were serious enough to
put the tower's long-term future in doubt.

Construction of the Eiffel Tower started in January 1887. It opened to the public on the 31stof Marches? It
was built to celebrate the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. Builders needed 10,100 tons of iron to make the tower.
It was made from 18,000 sections and 2.5 million rivets. The original plan was for the tower to be taken down
after 20 years. However, the French government changed Its mind and kept it in place. The tower is currently
being repainted ahead of the 2024 Olympics. Engineers say painting the metal will not make the rust problem
go away. They say the existing paint needs to be completely removed first. However, this will take too long
and the tower would lose tourist revenue.
