Making the leap from school to university
Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are excited about it, they
should also be aware of the difference between university and school.
At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular assignments and provide
support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of your learning at university involves
self-studying and project work that you need to plan and complete by a certain date. It is your responsibility to
review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do research to find information in the library or online.
Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact with them mostly in a
school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very familiar. By contrast, at university, you
not only have more contacts, but you also meet people from different backgrounds. Therefore, you need
better social skills to deal with any conflict you may come into when interacting with other people.
As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the daily care and
support you need. You don’t have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself. You have
your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go to university, you will probably
move away from home and start to live independently. You need to improve your life skills so that you can
manage your own life.
Câu 11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A report on the difficulties of university life.
B. Advice on how to leap into university life.
C. A comparison between school life and university life.
D. An explanation why university life is more interesting.

A. social benefits you have B. physical interactions you have
C. people you want to contact D. people you know
Câu 14. You don’t have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself when you are ______.
A. a parent B. an independent person
C. a secondary school student D. a university student

B. At university, students need to be more responsible for their own learning.
C. Students need good life skills to live independently at university.

B.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 recent years, the issue of preserving Vietnamese culture has gained considerable attention, as rapid
modernization and globalization pose challenges to traditional customs. The government has started
implementing stronger measures to protect and promote Vietnam’s cultural heritage, making this a central part
of national policies. These measures include strengthening laws against the destruction of historical sites,
supporting traditional art forms, and promoting cultural education. These efforts are crucial because
maintaining cultural diversity not only preserves national identity but also fosters unity and a sense of
belonging among citizens.
Several laws have been enacted to protect Vietnam’s cultural landmarks from commercial exploitation and
natural disasters. Additionally, there has been increased funding for the preservation of ancient temples,
pagodas, and other historical monuments. Traditional arts such as water puppetry, folk music, and dance are
receiving more support through government-sponsored programs. Education programs are also being
introduced to raise awareness among the younger generation about the importance of cultural preservation.
While these government actions are necessary, the success of cultural preservation also depends on the
involvement of local communities. Citizens must actively participate in safeguarding their cultural practices,
supporting their local artisans, and respecting their heritage sites.
In conclusion, the preservation of Vietnamese culture is a vital issue that requires cooperation from all sectors.
By combining government policies, community involvement, and public awareness, Vietnam can successfully
protect its rich cultural heritage for future generations.
