READING PRACTICE
7 CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
1.  Previewing: Learning about a text before really reading it.
 Previewing enables readers to get a sense of what the text is about and how it is organized before reading it closely. This simple
strategy includes seeing what you can learn from the headnotes or other introductory material, skimming to get an overview of the
content and organization, and identifying the rhetorical situation.

 2.  Contextualizing: Placing a text in its historical, biographical, and cultural contexts.

When you read a text, you read it through the lens of your own experience. Your understanding of the words on the page and their
significance is informed by what you have come to know and value from living in a particular time and place. But the texts you read were
all written in the past, sometimes in a radically different time and place. To read critically, you need to contextualize, to recognize the
differences between your contemporary values and attitudes and those represented in the text.  

3.  Questioning to understand and remember: Asking questions about the content.

As students, you are accustomed (I hope) to teachers asking you questions about your reading. These questions are designed to help
you understand a reading and respond to it more fully, and often this technique works. When you need to understand and use new
information though it is most beneficial if you write the questions, as you read the text for the first time. With this strategy, you can write
questions any time, but in difficult academic readings, you will understand the material better and remember it longer if you write a
question for every paragraph or brief section. Each question should focus on a main idea, not on illustrations or details, and each should
be expressed in your own words, not just copied from parts of the paragraph.  

4.  Reflecting on challenges to your beliefs and values: Examining your personal responses.

The reading that you do for this class might challenge your attitudes, your unconsciously held beliefs, or your positions on current
issues. As you read a text for the first time, mark an X in the margin at each point where you feel a personal challenge to your attitudes,
beliefs, or status. Make a brief note in the margin about what you feel or about what in the text created the challenge. Now look again at
the places you marked in the text where you felt personally challenged. What patterns do you see?  

5.  Outlining and summarizing: Identifying the main ideas and restating them in your own words.

Outlining and summarizing are especially helpful strategies for understanding the content and structure of a reading selection. Whereas
outlining reveals the basic structure of the text, summarizing synopsizes a selection's main argument in brief. Outlining may be part of
the annotating process, or it may be done separately (as it is in this class). The key to both outlining and summarizing is being able to
distinguish between the main ideas and the supporting ideas and examples. The main ideas form the backbone, the strand that holds
the various parts and pieces of the text together. Outlining the main ideas helps you to discover this structure. When you make an
outline, don't use the text's exact words.

Summarizing begins with outlining, but instead of merely listing the main ideas, a summary recomposes them to form a new text.
Whereas outlining depends on a close analysis of each paragraph, summarizing also requires creative synthesis. Putting ideas together
again -- in your own words and in a condensed form -- shows how reading critically can lead to deeper understanding of any text.  

6.  Evaluating an argument: Testing the logic of a text as well as its credibility and emotional impact.

All writers make assertions that they want you to accept as true. As a critical reader, you should not accept anything on face value but to
recognize every assertion as an argument that must be carefully evaluated. An argument has two essential parts: a claim and support.
The claim asserts a conclusion -- an idea, an opinion, a judgment, or a point of view -- that the writer wants you to accept. The support
includes reasons (shared beliefs, assumptions, and values) and evidence (facts, examples, statistics, and authorities) that give readers
the basis for accepting the conclusion. When you assess an argument, you are concerned with the process of reasoning as well as its
truthfulness (these are not the same thing). At the most basic level, in order for an argument to be acceptable, the support must be
appropriate to the claim and the statements must be consistent with one another.  

7.  Comparing and contrasting related readings: Exploring likenesses and differences between texts to understand them better.

Many of the authors we read are concerned with the same issues or questions, but approach how to discuss them in
different ways. Fitting a text into an ongoing dialectic helps increase understanding of why an author approached a
particular issue or question in the way he or she did.
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Every family has its quirks. Mine is no different. I was born in an Italian- American family in 1973. We follow the classic
stereotype. My father works and my mother stays home with the kids. There are certain things that we remember from our
childhood: phrases, jokes, movies. But one piece of advice that sticks with me from an early age comes from my mother.
"Don't finish your food or you will never get married." It was an illogical jump from the idea that a "lady" is not a glutton
and therefore will not finish the food on her plate or take the last cookie off of the platter. A "lady" especially a young lady
must never appear hungry. If she did, she would not be an ideal candidate for a wife.
To this day, I do not finish what is on my plate and I will never eat the last of anything.
It is not a conscience thing. When 1 think about it, 1 make a point to finish the food on my plate, there is still some
teenage rebellion against mom in this thirty-four year-old body, but the thought of not finishing is so ingrained that I rarely
think about it.
When my husband and I are at dinner, he will gesture to something on the table and say, "Finish your food" and 1 will
respond, "I can't, I'll never get married." That always makes him laugh and say, "So what have these last six years been?"
But for me it is something special that I will carry around with me - something that is my family. My brother remembers the
phrase and he admits that in his dating days he did watch to see if any of the girls would take the last piece of pie or pizza. I
think he fell in love with his fiancé because she would eat whatever she wanted to and do not worry about anyone judging
her for it. As I embark on starting my own family, I wonder what I will tell my daughter. Will I encourage her to finish every
last piece? Or will I continue to the legacy of my mother and tell her not eat the last piece lest she not get married? Will she
one day laugh to her girlfriends about her mother leaving one granola bar, one piece of cheese, or one rice cake alone in
their bags?

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They find a person with
whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be
able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs,
movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign
woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On
one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life
styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand
your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous
actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents
and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is
unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she
has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with
you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in
actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody
can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except
you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get to
know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to
find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you
with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight
cultural differences.
1. A spouse should ________.
a. let the partner to do everything alone
b. be not only a lover but also a friend

c. Spouses who have the same roots go not share anything together.
d. Spouses who are from different cultures can never share anything together.

________.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Spoken language is based on a face-to-face encounter. One person directly addresses another or others.
Within the face-to-face encounter of speech, communication is' not limited to Words. Speakers use a wide variety of
extra-verbal devices, from emphasis and dramatic pauses to changes in tone or tempo. Speakers also use a broad range of
nonverbal clues. They "talk" with their eyes and their bodies. They use hand gestures and facial expressions to convey
ideas. And speakers respond to similar cues from their listeners - the nods and grunts that say, in effect, "I hear you," or the
quizzical looks that say, "I don't understand."
As we learn a language, we also learn the non-verbal conventions of that language- the meaning of a shrug, a pout, or
a smile. Speech thus often includes not only a face-to-face meeting, but also a meeting of the minds. "Conversation,"
Steven Pinker notes, "requires cooperation."
Listeners assume that speakers are conveying information relevant to what they already know and what they want to
know. They have to not only listen to words but also observe verbal devices and body gestures in order to understand the
meanings of vague and ambiguous words and to fill in the unsaid logical steps.
Speaker and listener are aware of each other's knowledge, interests, and biases. They can interpret remarks within the
common social setting in which they find themselves. This mutual understanding is frequently absent with written
communication. While in written communication, information an author would like to assume the reader knows must be
included with a text. Writers must make their biases explicit to assure full understanding by the critical reader, and readers,
unable to read body language, must read the text carefully to find out attitudes or biases underlying it.
1. We can use nonverbal clues in both spoken and written communication.
a. True b. False c. No information
2. Emphasis, dramatic pauses and changes in tone or tempo are verbal devices.
a. True b. False c. No information
3. We can even use gestures to express a marital proposal.
a. True b. False c. No information
4. In a conversation, only listening to the speaker's voice is enough for the listener to understand thoroughly even the
meanings of vague and ambiguous words
a. True b. False c. No information
5. Body language can also be read in a written text.
a. True b. False c. No information

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior to
attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private
schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign
students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education.
Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other
countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many
fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best
schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American
education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a thorough
understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education
system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American
education system and the American school system host more international students than any other country in the world!

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.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era, which is known
as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years,
they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather
suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but
their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature
elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern—day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the
brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some
were actually no larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s
climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large
to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for
dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.
Câu 1: What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Domination of the Land B. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs
 C. Earth’s Largest Reptiles D. The History of Earth
Câu 2: It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about
A. 200 million years B. 135 million years C. 80 million years D. 65 million years
Câu 3: The author uses the phrase “never to reemerge” to indicate that the dinosaurs
A. became extinct B. went into hiding C. never died out D. lost their way
Câu 4: According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth. B. It varied quite greatly.
C. It guaranteed their survival. D. It was rather uniform.
Câu 5: Which of the following can be inferred about mammals and birds.
A. Most have either fur or feathers over their bodies.
B. They preceded the dinosaurs.
C. They were too large to hibernate.

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 questions from 6 to 10.
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase their
children's language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big
difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the
parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participants
were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents
were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no
questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggy doing?" rather than, "Is the doggy running
away?" Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children's answer, how to suggest
alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of one
month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal
expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6
months over the children in the control group.
Question 6: Parents can give great help to their children's language development by _____ them.
A. adopting B. responding to C. experimenting D. reading to

A. The training that parents received. B. The books that were read.

Question 10: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
A. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don't.
B. Children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.
C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

of the questions from 31 to 35.

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said no. It seemed likely
that computers and the internet would replace books. Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that books on paper are
much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and
wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words
in a book than reading words on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that question is no. In the
future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It
will look like today’s books, but it will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Professor Jacobson’t electronic book will have a small button on the side. When you press the button, words
will instantly appear on the page. When you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story
will quickly appear.

Question 31: The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means_______.
A. “won’t come” B. “are nearby” C. “won’t disappear” D. “are useless”
Question 32: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Reading today’s books needs a power source.
B. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes.
C. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely.
D. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.
Question 33: What will the book of the future look like?
A. It will look like a book you buy today. B. It will look like a computer.
C. It will look different from today’s books. D. We don’t know what it will look like.
Question 34: The button on the side of the electronic book is used_______.
A. to turn a light on and off B. to change what you read
 C. to turn the power on and off D. to make the book more beautiful.
Question 35: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The decline of today’s books. B. How to use an electronic book.
C. The book of the future. D. Why a power source is important.

Read the following passage adapted from Pre-Essence Reading 1 by Rachel Lee, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are saying. We use
body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although
some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries.
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to say yes – the exact
opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your pockets will
only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be
seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in India, whistling
in public is considered rude.
In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed
it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means
nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.
Question 33: It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures ______.
A. are not used to communicate our feelings B. may mean different things in different countries
C. can be used to greet each other in public D. are used in greeting among men and women
Question 34: People nod their head to say no in ______.
A. Belgium B. France C. Bulgaria D. Japan
Question 35: In the Middle East, people do not use their left hands for eating because they use their left hands ______.
A. when preparing the meal B. to put in their pockets
C. to clean their tables and chairs D. when going to the bathroom

A. In Belgium, snapping your fingers at someone is very rude. B. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping.
C. In China, the ‘OK’ sign means money. D. In France, people shouldn’t rest their feet on tables.
Question 37: The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. other feet B. other people C. other soles D. other shoes

Read the passage carefully and choose the best parts to fill in the blanks
What exactly is a tornado? The general picture is familiar enough. The phenomenon usually occurs on a hot, sticky day with south
wind and an ominous sky. From the base of a thunderhead, a funnel-shaped cloud extends a violently twisting spout toward the Earth.
As it sucks in matter in its path, the twister may turn black, brown or even white. The moving cloud shows an almost continuous display
of sheet lightning. It lurches along in a meandering path, usually northeast ward, at 25 to 40 miles per hour. Sometimes it picks up its
finger from the earth for a short distance and then plants it down again. The funnel is very slender; its wake of violence averages about
400 yards wide. As the tornado approaches, it is heralded by a roar as a hundreds of jet planes or thousands of railroad cars. Its path is a
path of total destruction. Buildings explode as they are sucked in by the tornado’s low-pressure vortex (where the pressure drop is as
much as 10 percent) and by its powerful whirling winds (estimated at up to 500 miles per hour). The tornado’s lifetime is as brief as it is
violent. Within a few tens of miles (average about 16 miles), it spends its force and suddenly disappears.

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
questions from 61 to 64.
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater priority on
harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available, renewable resources that are both cost-
effective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through
sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily
harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are
equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many
developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy
by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the
surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire
known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A
prime example of effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes are
heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy
sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale.
Câu 61. What is the main topic of this passage ?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
C. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Câu 62. According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources ?
A. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
B. Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
C. Because they are free and available worldwide.
D. Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage.
Câu 63. According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?
A. They are being used in many undeveloped countries. C. They are more expensive than solar panels.
B. They can convert geothermal energy to electricity. D. They contain photovoltaic cells.
Câu 64. According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy production ?
A. They both require the use of a generator. B. They both use heat from the earth’s surface.
C. They both require fairly simple technology. D. They are both conventional and costly

II. TOPIC: Write a letter to pen-pal to talk about your family.
(MODEL WRITING ) ……………, September 26th, 2014
Dear Michael,
I am writing to talk about my family as requested in your last letter.
There are four members in my family; my parents, my elder brother and I. My dad is now at his forty-five and my mom is two
years younger. My elder brother is twenty-two of age. My dad is a teacher at a local high school, and he has to work nearly weekdays.
Very often he has extra classes on weekends, sometimes he has evening classes. My mom is a farmer and she has to work hard in the
fields nearly daily from early morning till dark. My elder brother is now a final year university student, so he has very little time to be at
home with other family members. Although my parents are very busy, they try hard to spare as much time to take care of their children
as possible.
My mom is a really caring woman who is always the first to get up to prepare for other family members things to start a new
day, and the last to go to bed to make sure that everything is under control. My dad is always willing to join hands to make us a nice
house and a happy home. My brother and I love helping my parents in all sort of work whenever we have chance.
In my family, members care as much for others as possible to make a close-knit family. We are admired so much by the
neighboring residents. Whenever problems come up, we discuss the matters all together frankly to find out solutions quickly. We also
share all happiness and worries, so we all feel happy, safe and secure at home just as the saying we love “Home is where love dwells
and thrives”.
As you know, I am now in my final secondary year, preparing for the coming examinations with so much pressure. Therefore,
all members in my family encourage and give me the best to help me realize my dreams.
That is some about my family, and I would very much like to hear about yours in turn. I hope you will share with me your
family life. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Lan
