DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOUR DAUGHTER

'The change in our daughter Jo was so gradual we didn't really take it too seriously to begin with', admits Wendy, 42. 'Being on a diet seemed quite normal for a teenager. (0) I.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

They call Jamaica the "Island in the sun" and that is my memory of it. Of sunshine, warmth and abundant fruit that was growing everywhere, and of love. There were two sisters ahead of me in the family, and though of course I didn't know it, there was an exciting talk of emigration, possibly to Canada but more usually to England, the land of opportunity. I guess that plans were already being made when I was born, for a year or so later my Dad left for London. Two years after that my mum went as well and my sisters and I were left in the care of my grandmother.

Emigrating to better yourself was a dream for most Jamaicans, a dream many were determined to fulfill. Families were close and grandmothers were an important part of the family. So, when the mass emigrations began, it seemed perfectly right and natural for them to take over the running of families left behind.

Grandmothers are often strict, but usually also spoil you. She ran the family like a military operation: each of us, no matter how young, had our tasks. Every morning, before we went to school, we all had to take a bucket appropriate to our size and run a relay from the communal tap to the barrels until they are full. My sisters had to sweep the yard before they went to school. My grandmother would give orders to the eldest and these were passed down- as I got older I found this particularly annoying! But I can tell you, no one avoided their duties.

My Dad came over from England to see how we were getting on . He talked to us about the new country, about snow, about the huge city, and we all wanted to know more, to see what it was like. I didn't know it at that time., but he had come to prepare us for the move to England. Six months later my grandmother told me that I was going to join my parents and that she, too, was emigrating.

London was strange and disappointing. There was no gold on the pavements, as the stories in Jaimaica had indicated. The roads were busy, the buildings were grey and dull, with many tall, high-rise blocks. It was totally unlike Jamaica, the houses all small and packed close together. In my grandmother's house I had a big bedroom, here I had to share.

Then came the biggest shock: snow. While flakes came out of the sky and Dad smiled, pointed and said: "That's snow!" I rushed outside, looked up and opened my mouth to let the flakes drop in. The snow settled on my tongue and it was so cold that I cried. My toes lost all feeling. As my shoes and socks got wet and frozen, there came an excruciating pain and I cried with the intensity of it. I didn't know what was happening to me.

What does "this" in the third paragraph refer to

A. being told what to do by his sisters

B. having to sweep the yard before school

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

I didn’t even notice him. It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I was thinking, “Milk, dry cleaners, home”. Was I supposed to notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand? No, but Nora did. She wasn't even four, but she pulled at my coat sleeve and said. “That man’s cold, Daddy. Can we take him home?"

don't remember my reply - probably something like, “That wouldn't really be helping him”. Maybe I made her feel better by giving her an apple. I don't know. But I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.

A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to push myself to leave the house. On the way to the school. I fought an urge to turn back. The Sunday paper and my coffee were waiting at home. Why do this? Still, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned. She invited us right over. And that day Nora and I paid a visit to her depressing flat. After saying goodbye, I walked home in tears.

Professionals call such a visit a “volunteer opportunity". Indeed, the proverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the old woman's alone it was in our lives, too. Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes lor the homeless. Yet, as I've watched her grow over these past four years. I still wonder which of us has benefited more?

Which of the following is true about Nora, the author’s daughter?

A. She was a naughty schoolgirl.

B. She didn't care for anyone around her.

C. She was not interested in doing charity.

D. She is ov er four years old now.

Everybody admired him for his fine sense of humour, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny.Recently, one of Geoffrey's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a weeding reception. This is the sort of thing that Geoffrey loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the weeding with Jenny.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 38.

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, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

According to paragraph 1, what basic skills do children learn to do without being taught?

A. Reading, talking and hearing

B. Talking, climbing and whistling

C. Running, walking and playing

A. Đọc, nói chuyện và lắng nghe B. Nói chuyện, leo trèo và huýt sáo

C. Chạy, đi bộ và chơi D. Nói chuyện, chạy và trượt tuyết

Thông tin: 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 …

Tạm dịch: Cũng như vậy, trẻ em học tất cả những thứ khác mà chúng học được mà không được dạy - nói, chạy, leo trèo, huýt sáo, đạp xe…

Chọn B

Dịch bài đọc:

Hãy để trẻ em học cách đánh giá công việc của mình. Một đứa trẻ tập nói không học bằng cách suốt ngày được sửa sai. Nếu sửa chữa quá nhiều, cậu bé sẽ ngừng nói chuyện. Cậu bé chú ý hàng nghìn lần mỗi ngày sự khác biệt giữa ngôn ngữ mình sử dụng và ngôn ngữ mà những người xung quanh mình sử dụng. Từng chút một, cậu bé tạo ra những thay đổi cần thiết để làm cho ngôn ngữ của mình giống như những người khác. Cũng như vậy, trẻ em học tất cả những thứ khác mà chúng học được mà không được dạy - nói, chạy, leo trèo, huýt sáo, đạp xe - so sánh sự thể hiện của chúng với những người giỏi hơn và dần dần tạo ra những thay đổi cần thiết. Nhưng ở trường chúng ta không bao giờ cho trẻ một cơ hội để tìm ra những sai lầm của mình cho chính mình, hãy để trẻ tự mình sửa chúng. Chúng ta làm tất cả cho cậu bé. Chúng ta hành động như thể chúng ta nghĩ rằng cậu bé sẽ không bao giờ nhận ra sai lầm trừ khi nó được chỉ ra cho cậu, hoặc sửa sai trừ khi cậu bé bị bắt phải làm. Chẳng bao lâu nữa cậu bé sẽ trở nên lệ thuộc vào giáo viên. Hãy để cho trẻ tự làm. Hãy để cậu bé tự tìm ra, với sự giúp đỡ của những đứa trẻ khác nếu cậu muốn, từ đó có nghĩa là gì, câu trả lời cho vấn đề đó là gì, cho dù đó có phải là một cách hay để nói hay làm điều này hay không.

Nếu nó là một vấn đề phải đưa ra câu trả lời đúng, như một câu hỏi trong toán học hoặc khoa học, hãy đưa cho cậu bé cuốn sách có lời giải. Hãy để cậu bé tự sửa lại bài tập của mình. Tại sao giáo viên lại nên lãng phí thời gian cho công việc thường ngày như vậy? Công việc của chúng ta là giúp đỡ đứa trẻ khi cậu bé nói với chúng ta rằng cậu không thể tìm ra cách để có được câu trả lời đúng. Hãy kết thúc tất cả những điều vô nghĩa về điểm số và những kỳ thi. Chúng ta hãy vứt bỏ tất cả những điều đó, và để cho trẻ em học hỏi những gì mà tất cả những người có học thức phải học một ngày nào đó, cách đo lường sự hiểu biết của chính mình, làm thế nào để biết những gì họ biết hoặc không biết.

Hãy để chúng tiếp tục công việc này theo cách có vẻ hợp lý nhất với họ, với sự giúp đỡ của chúng ta với tư cách là giáo viên ở trường học nếu chúng yêu cầu. Ý tưởng rằng có một cơ thể kiến thức để được học ở trường và sử dụng cho phần còn lại của cuộc đời một là vô nghĩa trong một thế giới phức tạp và thay đổi nhanh chóng như của chúng ta. Các bậc cha mẹ và giáo viên lo lắng nói, “Nhưng giả sử chúng không học được điều gì đó thiết yếu, những điều mà chúng cần để thành công trong thế giới này?” Đừng lo lắng! Nếu nó quan trọng, chúng sẽ đi ra ngoài thế giới và học nó.

They call Jamaica the "Island in the sun" and that is my memory of it. Of sunshine, warmth and abundant fruit that was growing everywhere, and of love. There were two sisters ahead of me in the family, and though of course I didn't know it, there was an exciting talk of emigration, possibly to Canada but more usually to England, the land of opportunity. I guess that plans were already being made when I was born, for a year or so later my Dad left for London. Two years after that my mum went as well and my sisters and I were left in the care of my grandmother.

Emigrating to better yourself was a dream for most Jamaicans, a dream many were determined to fulfill. Families were close and grandmothers were an important part of the family. So, when the mass emigrations began, it seemed perfectly right and natural for them to take over the running of families left behind.

Grandmothers are often strict, but usually also spoil you. She ran the family like a military operation: each of us, no matter how young, had our tasks. Every morning, before we went to school, we all had to take a bucket appropriate to our size and run a relay from the communal tap to the barrels until they are full. My sisters had to sweep the yard before they went to school. My grandmother would give orders to the eldest and these were passed down- as I got older I found this particularly annoying! But I can tell you, no one avoided their duties.

My Dad came over from England to see how we were getting on . He talked to us about the new country, about snow, about the huge city, and we all wanted to know more, to see what it was like. I didn't know it at that time., but he had come to prepare us for the move to England. Six months later my grandmother told me that I was going to join my parents and that she, too, was emigrating.

London was strange and disappointing. There was no gold on the pavements, as the stories in Jaimaica had indicated. The roads were busy, the buildings were grey and dull, with many tall, high-rise blocks. It was totally unlike Jamaica, the houses all small and packed close together. In my grandmother's house I had a big bedroom, here I had to share.

Then came the biggest shock: snow. While flakes came out of the sky and Dad smiled, pointed and said: "That's snow!" I rushed outside, looked up and opened my mouth to let the flakes drop in. The snow settled on my tongue and it was so cold that I cried. My toes lost all feeling. As my shoes and socks got wet and frozen, there came an excruciating pain and I cried with the intensity of it. I didn't know what was happening to me.

When the writer first went to London, he was disappointed because ________.

A. it was smaller than he expected

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

They call Jamaica the "Island in the sun" and that is my memory of it. Of sunshine, warmth and abundant fruit that was growing everywhere, and of love. There were two sisters ahead of me in the family, and though of course I didn't know it, there was an exciting talk of emigration, possibly to Canada but more usually to England, the land of opportunity. I guess that plans were already being made when I was born, for a year or so later my Dad left for London. Two years after that my mum went as well and my sisters and I were left in the care of my grandmother.

Emigrating to better yourself was a dream for most Jamaicans, a dream many were determined to fulfill. Families were close and grandmothers were an important part of the family. So, when the mass emigrations began, it seemed perfectly right and natural for them to take over the running of families left behind.

Grandmothers are often strict, but usually also spoil you. She ran the family like a military operation: each of us, no matter how young, had our tasks. Every morning, before we went to school, we all had to take a bucket appropriate to our size and run a relay from the communal tap to the barrels until they are full. My sisters had to sweep the yard before they went to school. My grandmother would give orders to the eldest and these were passed down- as I got older I found this particularly annoying! But I can tell you, no one avoided their duties.

My Dad came over from England to see how we were getting on . He talked to us about the new country, about snow, about the huge city, and we all wanted to know more, to see what it was like. I didn't know it at that time., but he had come to prepare us for the move to England. Six months later my grandmother told me that I was going to join my parents and that she, too, was emigrating.

London was strange and disappointing. There was no gold on the pavements, as the stories in Jaimaica had indicated. The roads were busy, the buildings were grey and dull, with many tall, high-rise blocks. It was totally unlike Jamaica, the houses all small and packed close together. In my grandmother's house I had a big bedroom, here I had to share.

Then came the biggest shock: snow. While flakes came out of the sky and Dad smiled, pointed and said: "That's snow!" I rushed outside, looked up and opened my mouth to let the flakes drop in. The snow settled on my tongue and it was so cold that I cried. My toes lost all feeling. As my shoes and socks got wet and frozen, there came an excruciating pain and I cried with the intensity of it. I didn't know what was happening to me.

The writer says that when he was very young ________.

A. he was upset because his parents left

B. he was very keen to go to England

C. his parents had decided to leave

D. his parents changed their plans
