The line graph depicts a comparison between the consumption of three categories of fast food eaten by Australian teenagers over 25 year period from 1975 to 2000. In general, there was a gradual fall in consuming fish and chips while pizza and hambergers had an opposite trend.
As the graph shows, the amount of fish and chips peaked at 100 times per year in 1975. Then, there was a fluctuation during period from 1975 to 1985 before standing at about 95 times. Following this, the need for fish and chips significantly decreased to a low of nearly 40 times in 2000.
By contrast, pizza and hamburgers became more popular and their expenditure substantially went up. Looking at the details, pizza’s consumption rised steadily from about 2 times in 1975 to over 80 times in 1995, though its figure leveled off from 1995 to 2000. Likewise, there was a considerable increase of hamburgers’ rate from 5 times to approximately 83 times. This rise was noticeable between 1975 and 1985 but the growth slowed during the remaining period.
China has more people than any other country in the world. China is almost equivalent, land-
wise, to the United States. However, China has a much larger population.
The bars on the graph above compare the populations of China and the United States. Over
1,300,000,000 people live in China. This is four times more than the number of people who live in the United States!
Many Chinese live in cities. As people move to the cities, the cities grow. People build houses and businesses on land that was once used for farming. Then the land can no longer be used to grow crops. This makes it hard for China to grow enough food for its people.
The government was not sure there was enough food to feed people in the growing cities. So lawmakers tried to keep the cities from growing. The government even made a law to control population growth. The law said that most families living in cities should only have one child. Parents who have more than one child would have to pay a fine.

THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SMART CITIES
Smart cities are built on new technologies to improve people's lives. The idea of living in one of them sounds very exciting. But is a life controlled by smart technologies good or bad for us?
Let’s start with the advantages. One of the biggest advantages of smart cities is the high level of convenience they offer. With smart technologies in place, people can access information and services quickly and easily. This makes daily life more efficient and saves people a lot of time. Additionally, smart cities are designed to be more sustainable, with green spaces and public transport options to reduce pollution.
What about the disadvantages? One of the main concerns people have about smart cities is the potential loss of privacy. With sensors and cameras constantly monitoring people's movements, there is a risk that sensitive information could be collected and shared. This can lead to a lack of trust and a feeling of being constantly watched. Furthermore, there are concerns about the potential for technology failures and the risks posed by hackers.
In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages of living in a smart city. In my opinion, the benefits of smart technologies outweigh the drawbacks. However, it is important that measures are put in place to protect people's privacy and ensure the safety of their personal information. As long as these concerns are addressed, smart cities have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work.

Trường công lập những năm 1950 và 1960 đã phải đối mặt với tất cả các vấn đề sau trừ _________.
A. một số lượng không đủ các tòa nhà trong trường học
B. các điều kiện vật chất lỗi thời
C. thiếu giáo viên
D. số lượng học sinh giảm
Thông tin ở đoạn: “While the number of schoolchildren rose because of wartime and postwar conditions, these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood.” (Mặc dù số lượng học sinh tăng vì điều kiện trong thời kỳ chiến tranh và thời kỳ hậu chiến, nhưng những điều kiện tương tự khiến cho các trường học thậm chí chưa chuẩn bị sẵn sàng để đối phó với trận lũ đó.) => Trường công lập đối mặt với vấn đề về điều kiện vật chất do số lượng học sinh tăng lên => Đáp án B đúng, đáp án D sai.
“The wartime economy meant that few new schools were built between 1940 and 1945.”
(Nền kinh tế chiến tranh có nghĩa là có ít trường học mới được xây dựng từ năm 1940 đến năm 1945.) => Không đủ trường học => Đáp án A đúng.
“Moreover, during the war and in the boom times that followed large numbers of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy.” (Hơn nữa, trong chiến tranh và trong thời kỳ bùng nổ theo sau nó, một số lượng lớn giáo viên đã rời khỏi nghề để kiếm việc làm tốt hơn ở những nơi khác trong nền kinh tế.) => Đáp án C đúng
Đáp án C

The chart above decsribes how the birth rates of 2 countries namely China, USA changed in 80 years which started from 1920
Answer:
The line graph compares the birth rates in China and the US and how these rates changed from 1920 to 2000.
Overall, there was a general decline in fertility of both nations throughout the time surveyed. However, the US’s birth rates almost was higher than that of China over the whole period.
American saw a significant fluctuation in the birth rates between 1920 to 1935, but it always remained over 10%. However, in the following decade, the fertility of the US decreased sharply to under 5 %. From 1945 to 1950, there was a rapidly increased in American’s birth rates, at 15%, reaching the highest point of it’s own during the whole period. From that on, the fertility of the US fell gradually to 7% in 2000.
During the 80-year period, the birth rates in China changed more significantly than in the US. It fell down to 5% in the year 1940, then reaching a peak of whole line graph in 1950, at 20%. Over the remainder of the period, China saw a sharply drop in the birth rates to only about 2% until 2000.
