Many students listen to music while they are studying, and say that it helps them learn. Many
parents and teachers say that music is just distracting, and that students are better studying in
silence. Who is right?
In a study, some scientists asked three groups of students to listen to a piece of music by Mozart or
a relaxation tape for ten minutes, or just sit in silence for ten minutes. The students then did a
‘spatial reasoning’ test (a test about remembering shapes and imagining looking at objects from
different directions), and the ones who had listened to the Mozart did better in the test.
Taking part in musical activities and learning to play an instrument can improve verbal memory
(the ability to remember words). The longer the training lasts, the better the improvement in the
memory. So, there’s no excuse to give up the piano lessons!

Read the following passage, and then answer the questions
Modern graffiti (tranh tường) began in big cities in the United States in the 1970s. One of the first
‘taggers’ was a teenager called Demetrius. He wrote his tag TAKI 183 on walls and in subway
stations in New York. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their own tags on
walls, buses and subway trains all over New York.
Then, some teenagers started writing their tags with aerosol paint. Their tags were bigger and more
colourful. Aerosol paint graffiti became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s and appeared on
trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started
painting pictures.
In some countries, writing or painting on walls is a crime and street artists can have problems with
the police. In other countries, artists can draw and paint in certain places. For example, in Taiwan,
there are ‘graffiti zones’ where artists can paint on walls. In São Paulo in Brazil, street artists can
paint pictures on walls and houses. Their pictures are colourful and beautiful. Some tourists visit
São Paulo just to see the street art!
