II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Like many other school leavers, Duong is coping with the issue of high life-plan anxiety. There
are two conventionally available options for her to consider: entering the world of work or
enrolling in the university system. She has finished high school this year and wants to get work
immediately; however, it’s difficult for her to go ahead with her plan due to her parents’
objections. In Viet Nam’s society, it’s a common practice that people with low qualifications
rarely earn others’ respect and have fewer opportunities to get promotions in their career ladder.
That’s why her parents strongly expect that her distinguished academic result of the national
entrance examination can help her win a place at a popular economic university despite her
family’s state of financial crisis. In contrast, she doesn’t want to put more strain on her family
with costly tuition fees and huge student loan debts during the four years of university. She has
convinced her parents to let her find a stable job to support her family several times before, but
they haven’t agreed yet. Yesterday she had a consultation meeting with Mr Trung, her homeroom
teacher. He advised her to give in her parents’ demand by choosing a university with reasonable
fees and scholarships offered to excellent students. Meanwhile, she can obtain a part-time job to
relieve the cost burden, accumulate more experience and decorate her future CV. Now she is
taking his advice into account and ready to persuade her parents to change their minds one more time.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Anxiety of many school-leavers about their future jobs
B. The supporting roles of parents and teachers in guiding school-leavers to pursue their dreams
C. Contrasting views on future education choices between a school-leaver and her parents
D. The misunderstanding of choosing a university between a school-leaver and her parents
2. What does the word their in line 9 mean?
A. Low-qualified individuals’ B. Ordinary people’s C. Duong’s parents’

D. School-leavers’
3. Why do Duong’s parents try to impose their opinions on her?
A. Because of her homeroom teacher’s advice
B. Because of her impressive academic performance
C. Because of her parents’ hardship
D. Because of social prejudice
4. Which of the following is NOT a recommendation from Mr Trung?
A. Trying to win a place at a popular economic university
B. Finding a part-time job while studying at university
C. Selecting a university with reasonable costs
D. Choosing a university that awards scholarships to top students
