Inside a 4D Film
A lot of people think that 3D films are pretty cool. When you watch a 3D film, it sometimes
feels like you can reach out and touch the things that you see. In the future, however, 3D might
be replaced by something even more advanced: 4D.
What you see in a 4D film is the same as what you see in a 3D film. The screen is the same,
and the glasses are the same. 4D films are different because they don’t use 3D technology.
People in the audience also feel physical things during the films.
Let’s look at a few examples. Let’s say that you are watching a film about earthquakes. If
you are watching a 4D film, maybe your seat will suddenly start to shake. It will feel like you
are in the middle of an earthquake, but you are not. The 4D effects make your seat shake. Or
perhaps during the film, one of the characters gives flowers to another character. The people in
the cinema might suddenly smell flowers.
The point of 4D films is to make people feel like they are in the film. When we watch films
these days, we only use two senses: our sense of sight and our sense of hearing. If we use our
other senses, the film might feel more real to us.
4D films already exist. The film Avatar was released everywhere in 3D, but in Korea and
Hong Kong, it was also released in 4D. People who watched Avatar in 4D feel wind and rain.
They also smelled smoke from the weapons in the film, and sometimes their seats moved.
Will 4D replace 3D films? It is possible, but we can’t be sure yet. One problem with 4D
films is that it is very expensive to show them in theaters. Before a theater shows a 4D film, it
has to buy a lot of special equipment. However, 4D films are catching on. Other films shown in
4D include Shrek 4-D, and Iron Man 3.
36. What is one problem with 4D films?

Trang 4

A. They are expensive. B. They are a little dangerous.

C. They don’t feel real. D. Actors don’t like them.
37. What does the second sentence of the sixth paragraph mean?
A. We know that it is not possible.
B. We know that it definitely will happen.
C. It might happen, but we don’t know yet.
D. We can’t be sure because there are no 4D films yet.
38. Which of the following is NOT true about 4D films?
A. They use the same glasses and screens as 3D films.
B. Some have been shown in Hong Kong and Korea.
C. When you watch them, your seat might shake.
D. Cinemas that show them don’t need special equipment.
39. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. 4D films B. Glasses C. Screens D. 3D technology
40. What would only happen during a 4D film?
A. The sound would be very loud.
B. You would feel like you could reach out and touch the things that you see.
C. Water would fall on your head.

41. The phrase “catching on” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A. arriving already B. becoming popular
C. being shown D. getting an advantage
42. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some films may have both 3D and 4D versions.
B. Special equipment in a theater for 4D films are completely different from those for 3D
films.
C. Some normal films also make people use more than two senses.
D. 4D films use the same technology as 3D films.

Using Social Media to Boost Business
In the past few years, social media has swept across the globe. Nowadays, people of all ages
and nationalities are opening Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts to connect with
friends, celebrities, and those who want to share similar interests as them. Social media isn’t
just for individuals though. Small businesses and corporations are also using it to develop closer
relationships with their fans and attract new customers.
There are many ways that organizations can benefit from social media. For starters, it can be
an effective way to conduct market research. In the past, companies often spent millions on
studies to determine what their customers wanted. However, they often had difficulties locating
people who were interested in their products or services. Nowadays, social media has
simplified this process as many customers will follow or like the companies they purchase

Trang 5

products from. Furthermore, online advertising campaigns through social media allow
companies to specifically target people who like similar products as the ones they are selling.
Social media also gives companies greater control over their brand image. It allows fans and
customers to leave comments about companies, their products, or their services. In turn, these
companies can evaluate this feedback and respond in a way that shows they truly care. One
company which does this extremely well is Zappos, an online shoe retailer. If customers seem
dissatisfied with anything, Zappos is quick to offer refunds, exchange items, or even send out
free presents to keep customers happy. As a result, you will find thousands of positive reviews
about Zappos’ excellent customer service on several social media sites.
However, companies shouldn’t jump into social media without a carefully planned strategy,
as this can cause more harm than good. A common mistake is putting new hires or outside
consultants in charge of social media accounts. The person controlling these accounts becomes
the face of the company, so it is a must that they are knowledgeable about the company’s core
values. Another mistake is using conservative, corporate language in posts and updates. On
social media, people are looking for personalities they can connect with, so companies
shouldn’t shy away from using humour or being colourful. Finally, social media accounts
should always provide value and other share-worthy content to fans, for that is the primary
reason they become followers. By keeping these tips in mind, organizations can join the social
movement and take their businesses to the next level.

C. Explaining traditional advertising

D. customers can leave comments that affect the process of employing the staff
45. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. Present companies B. Future companies
C. Foreign companies D. Older companies
46. What kind of person should be in charge of a company’s social media?

B. The company’s best customers
