PART B. READING COMPREHENSION
PASSAGE 1: 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 following questions.
In the 1960s, life in Vietnamese schools was very different from today. Students wore simple
uniforms, often made by their mothers. They walked or rode bicycles to school, as cars and motorbikes
were not common. Schools were basic, with wooden desks and chalkboards, and sometimes classes were
held outdoors.
Discipline was strict, and teachers were highly respected. Students addressed their teachers with great
formality and stood up whenever they spoke. Lessons focused on reading, writing, and arithmetic, with a
strong emphasis on memorization and recitation.
During breaks, students played traditional games like "o an quan" and "banh đũa." These activities
helped build strong friendships and teamwork. Without modern technology, students found joy in simple
pleasures and learned to be creative with limited resources.
Exams were a significant part of school life. Students studied hard and often stayed up late to prepare.
