STUDENT FASHION SHOW
A professional fashion show has never been my idea of a great night out, but my

indeed – with all the models performing handstands and cartwheels. All the physical activity
made it look a bit too (40) ______ (ATHLETE) for a fashion show to me – but it certainly
succeeded in getting the attention of the audience! I had expected all the models to be
female, but (41) ______ (SURPRISE) enough, there were quite a few males modelling the
clothes, too. They say there’s never anything totally new in fashion, but the show proved
this to be (42) ______ (TRUTH). Everything that the students had created looked new and

might be people looking for new talent. And what better place to look than a student fashion
show! To make the whole thing more (44) ______ (ENTERTAIN), the young designers had

correction and write them in the space provided. The first one has been done as an example.
Line
1 If the world is to stem the spread of COVID 19 and urgently stop farther
2 dangerous variants to occurring, effective vaccines must reach 75% of the world’s
3 population. Globally, more than 32 million doses of COVAX-supplied vaccines have
4 been delivering to 63 countries in just one month.
5 Essential to the success of the campaign is vaccine equity, meaning every country
6 and every person, includes those hardest to reach, should benefit. The COVAX Facility
7 was formed to ensure that COVID-19 vaccines are available worldwide to both higher-
8 income and lower-income countries.
9 While the arrival of vaccines through the COVAX Facility is welcome news, it
10 will still be some time before a large proportion of the adult population are vaccinated.
11 In the meantime, it is essential that people continue to follow government advice to
12 wear masks, washing hands regularly and practice social distancing to reduce the risk of
transmission.

Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question by
circling its corresponding letter A, B, C or D.

For the beginner, buying organic can seem daunting. Not so long ago the very word was
associated with nut roasts and the kind of shop where every other ingredient was tofu, and where
asking for a Coca-Cola would elicit the same reaction as going into the supermarket and demanding
cocaine.
Mercifully, those days are gone. But the range of choice that has replaced that austere, vegan
mentality is equally confusing. Where do you begin?
‘Buy locally,’ say the chef and smallholder, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, whose series, TV
Dinners, proved he is willing to eat just about anything-as long as it is GM-free.
The proliferation of farmers’ markets means even hardened city dwellers can buy fresh
produce and be sure about its provenance. You can find your nearest market online at
www.farmersmarkets.net, while the Soil Association’s Organic Directory lists thousands of organic
shops. And where else could you learn about where your food has come from, chat with your
Trang 6/9
friendly neighbourhood herb farmer and find yourself stuffed full of delicious samples of cheese,
beef and spicy cider while buying your groceries?
‘It’s a bit of a Catch-22,’ says Hugh Fearnley - Whittingstall. ‘The customers need a wide
range of produce and the farmers need enough customers to make it worth their while. The more
people make the commitment, the better and more frequent these markets will become.’
For the lazy, there’s an even easier option. The Organic Directory, which can be found online
at www.soilassociation.org, lists a staggering number of box delivery schemes that distribute
seasonal produce from locations all over the country. They range from the basic to the amazingly
comprehensive.
But a word of warning: seasonal food may be fresher, tastier and a huge relief for the
environment (peas don’t need to be air-freighted from Zimbabwe, for example), but you can’t give
Mother Nature a shopping list. With most schemes, you get what you’re given. It’s an inspiring
challenge for adventurous cooks, but several kilos of lovely, seasonal carrots won’t be much use if
your dinner party was depending on the ingredients for an apricot soufflé.
Even for those of us who are wedded to the supermarket, healthy organic food doesn’t have to
be just a good intention. Some supermarkets keep their organic products together in a dedicated
section, while others store organic versions of their products alongside non-organic stock.
You will also notice that much organic produce in supermarkets comes pre-packaged. This is
to avoid any confusion with non-organic produce and the packaging is recycled wherever possible.
Where produce is sold loose, proof of certifications must be available, by law, to consumers.

66. How would people have felt if you’d asked for Coca-Cola in an organic shop?
A. surprised B. shocked C. amused D. furious
67. It’s hard to eat organically now because______.
A. you need to be good at gardening.
B. most people know little about organic food.
C. there’s not much choice available.
D. there are so many decisions to make.
68. What does the writer say about farmer’s market?
A. They’re only available in country areas.
B. They’re very friendly places to do your shopping.
C. There is a good one on the World Wide Web.
D. There are far more of them than there used to be.
69. How does Hugh say that more customers at farmer’s market will improve the situation?
A. There will be more variety of produce.
B. Prices of goods will be lower.
C. There will be more markets.
D. The quality of the produce will be better.
70. What is the easier option which the article refers to?
A. Having organic food delivered B. Reading about organic farming
C. Only buying organic versions of basics foods D. Ordering organic food online
71. What does the writer say about supermarkets and organic food?
A. Supermarkets are increasingly stocking organic food.
B. It is not always easy to know which food is organic.
C. Different shops display their organic food in different ways.
D. Some supermarkets intend to go over to totally organic food.
72. Why does the writer say that organic food is usually pre-packaged?

Trang 7/9
 A. so it is better protected
B. so that it complies with the laws on organic food
C. so that the green logo can be given prominence
D. so it is kept separate from other produce

Part 4: Read the following passage and decide if the following statements are True (T) or
False (F). Put a tick (√) in the right column.
My family have always been huge fans of New Zealand - my mum comes from the capital -
so we saved up and went for a holiday there. We started with a week in the city she grew up in.
After that, we toured around for a while before ending up by chance in Kaikoura, a small town on
the coast. The first evening it seemed a rather dull place, but the next day I remembered what I'd
read about it - that it was often possible to see dolphins and whales there! I’ll always think of
Kaikoura as the place where I finally achieved my lifelong ambition - to swim with wild dolphins.
My family and I set off on a dolphin trip on a cold, grey day with a number of other people on
a small boat. However, the sky soon turned blue, and we raced across the waves in the sunshine
until we finally reached the place where we were supposed to go swimming. To my surprise, this
was more than 40 km from land. I was quite cold by this time, and really starting to wonder why my
family had made me come all the way out there, when suddenly someone shouted ‘Dolphins!’.
All I could see were fins everywhere - there were more than a hundred dolphins, all
swimming towards our boat! Many of them were jumping around in the water as if they were
asking us to come and play. I put on my snorkel and jumped into the sea. Everywhere I looked, all I
could see was dolphins, swimming under me and round me. Then I remembered the guide had told
us to make sounds in the water to attract them. So I did and actually heard them making similar
sounds, as if they were trying to answer me. I even made eye contact with one dolphin, and watched
it carefully as I swam round in a circle. Amazingly, the dolphin almost followed me, but then
changed its mind, although it kept eye contact with me all the time. It really made me realise how
intelligent and beautiful these creatures are.
Then after an hour of swimming the guides called us to get back onto the boat. Although I had
enjoyed myself, I was keen to leave the water by then as I was very cold. As I got dry I noticed that
everyone on board was smiling and I realised what a very special moment we’d had. I’ll never
forget that experience, and Kaikoura will always have a special place in my heart.
Statements T F
73 Paul has family connections with the place he first visited in New Zealand.
74 Paul and his family chose to go to Kaikoura as part of their tour.
As soon as Paul arrived in Kaikoura he knew he might see some dolphins
75
there.
76 The weather got worse during Paul's boat trip.
77 Paul had expected to go swimming closer to land.
Paul was beginning to feel unhappy about the trip until someone saw the
78
dolphins.
79 Paul believed the dolphins were inviting him to join them in the water.
80 Paul felt that he had failed to communicate with the dolphins.
