II-Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to the following questions.
TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY
One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of
funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time
jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away.
For example, traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline
ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.
For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they
are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-
known for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only
pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for
incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.
Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy
pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are
unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That
shouldn’t discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you search
hard enough.
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If
you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it
might be just the ticket you were looking for.
1. Where can people find working holidays advertised?
A. On the Internet B. In magazines
C. On the radio D. In travel guidebooks
2. What can seem out of reach for young people?
A. Being able to get time off from school B. Being able to earn money

3. Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?
A. To show how fearful he is B. To earn money

4. Which students are in luck according to the passage?
A. The ones who have airline tickets
7
B. The ones who are on holiday
C. The ones who want to go to Australia and New Zealan
D. The ones who want have part-time jobs
5. According to the passage, which statement is true?
