What Fresh Graduates Should Know about Their First


Jobs

For recent graduates, internships may become a stepping stone to full-time, paid employment.
Before accepting an offer to work as an intern you should get some information about the
company’s reputation of procuring their interns and decide accordingly. If they usually hire one
intern but have tens of employees working day and night, it is better to look for other companies.
The best place to have an internship position is an organization that gives you an opportunity to
gain real work experience and develop your skills instead of using you as a cheap worker.

Another thing that should be considered is the size of the company. Sometimes bigger and more
established organizations are better as they have a clear hierarchy and therefore it gives you a
clear idea of your position and the job description and most importantly, it will be easier to get a
mentor. Startups with only five employees are usually more flexible in terms of job

ThS. Lý Công ENGLISH 3 (Anh văn

After you choose a company, do a little research on the company including the people who work
there. You can do a Google search and comb social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and
Twitter to dig deep about the company’s hiring managers and what they expect from a new
employee.

Social media is also very useful to keep in touch with as many people as you can and build your
network. Do not hesitate to maintain any personal connection you have because those
connections could be the first ones who inform you about a new job opening or any vacant
positions you can apply for.

If you aim for a dream job, do not overlook an entry-level position just because it offers
mediocre salary. Entry-level employees are more likely to be given room to grow and learn from
their mistakes. They will also be able to figure out the job routines and get used to them when
they actually get the position they have been dreaming about.

As your first few jobs might be very demanding yet less rewarding, remember to have fun and
enjoy your life. Working overtime may not always be a good idea to accelerate your career,
especially if you have to be more stressed than your seniors who earn bigger salaries. Setting the
76. What should a fresh graduate take into account when finding an internship?

A. It has flexible work hours.
B. It offers higher salary.

A. Google search, Facebook, LinkedIn

A. To get information about job openings.
B. To get information about job security.
C. To keep in touch with an ex-employer.

the correct answer to each of the questions.
Advantages of Living in a Big City

Do you live in a big city? It is said that living in big cities is expensive because of the high living
cost. There are also pollution and traffic problems that make living in big cities unpleasant.
However, many people enjoy living in big cities because they offer convenience and countless
options for entertainment.

Many big cities already have good public transportation systems, which make it easy for the
citizens to go anywhere around the city. This also reduces and helps overcome the problem of
traffic jams that often occur at peak times. With the convenience of public transportation, the
citizens do not have to drive everywhere and can save money as they do not have to pay for
parking charges.

Staying healthy is everybody’s concern and in big cities you can find the best possible medical
care for any diseases, especially the severe ones. Moreover, compared to rural areas, access to
medical treatment is easier because there are always clinics or medical centers that open 24 hours
in many parts of the city so you can get medical help anytime, as soon as you need it. Reaching
hospitals is also easier as public transport is usually available 24 hours a day.

There is a saying that big cities never sleep. This is true for some cities in which the nightlife
begins just when people in other cities are ready to go to bed. Big cities like New York, Madrid,
London and Paris have vibrant nightlife. People can still find entertainment, dine out or go
shopping into the early hours.

City dwellers are usually more diverse and there are many communities that hold social events or
parties, which provide interesting opportunities for social interactions and social networking. The
social interactions allow you to learn about other cultures and share interests with people from
different backgrounds, which makes you more open minded and able to understand individuals.
On the other hand, the social networking helps you to broaden not only personal but also
professional relationships.

All in all, living in big cities is more convenient because of the complete facilities provided. The
advanced transportation system enables the citizens to access public facilities easier, cheaper and
faster. Big cities also provide better education and health service. In addition, city life is more fun
and exciting because there is a wide range of entertainment to enjoy and a lot of social events to
attend.

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.
How to Plan a Trip

Traveling can be tricky for a newbie. If you want to take a trip to a new place abroad or which is
far away from where you live, you may need to make a good plan in order to avoid troubles during
the trip. So once you know where you want to go, you should decide when and how you are going
to go there.

Many people take a trip during holidays because that is the time when they can take a break from
work or studies. Unfortunately, traveling during holiday season may not be a good choice as
prices for flight tickets and hotel rooms are usually higher than the off-season period when
tourism is not booming. If you have a limited budget, you may consider taking a day off work
during the off- season when prices are lower and discounted.

Your budget will also determine what means of transportation you are going to use. Taking a road
trip might be cheaper, but you should be in good shape and prepare your car for a long trip. If you
choose to fly, you may have to take public transportation to get around in your holiday destination.
Whether you take a taxi, subway or bus, you should know where you are going based on the
itinerary that you have planned before and make sure you know the routes and the fares.

Next, calculate your costs. What kind of accommodation do you want? If you take a road trip, you
may prefer to stay in a motel. Hostels are cheaper, but today you can search online and find hotels
offering rooms with low rates. If the costs are more than you can afford, make cuts where you can.
You may cut expenses for eating out or even cut the trip short and get back before the holiday
season ends.

Once you are exactly sure of where and when you want to go, how you will get there and where
you are going to stay, make your reservations. You can book your flight and accommodation
online and even many attractions have ticket sales online so you can skip the lines and enjoy the
attraction right in. You may also consider taking travel insurance. You will have some protection
in case you could

your passport, travel documents, visas and similar items in one place to ease you in accessing

(A) During the holiday season.
(B) During the off-season.
(C) During the peak period.

(A) A road trip is longer.
(B) A road trip could be dangerous.

3. If your budget for accommodation is very limited, you can do the following, EXCEPT:
(A) Stay in a luxury hotel.
(B) Stay in a hostel.
(C) Cut your trip short.
(D) Find a low rate hotel room.

(A) To protect your health during the trip.
(B) To give protection if you lose your luggage.
(C) To give protection when traveling.
(D) To give protection if you should cancel your booking.

Travel

Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to travel. It
may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long time, especially
when great distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But
for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness. This means
that they will become very unwell each time they travel.

Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and
the choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs.
However, the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long

1
ThS. Lý Công ENGLISH 3 (Anh văn
Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is
needed for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more
expensive and time consuming it will be.

The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly
a plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although
traffic is rarely a problem for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane. People
often need to arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure.

A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same
country, or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train
stations on route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board
the train.

A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart from a
harbour in a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may
choose to sleep on the ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to
go on a cruise for their holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a
short amount of time. People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any
transport at all. People often rely on their legs to take them to places nearby. This is often

(A) Train
(B) Car
(C) Walking
(D) Bus

READING COMPREHENSION
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.
Banking

Banking and banks are very important for the functioning of the modern world. Without banks the
way we use money would not work. Banks enable people to save money, borrow money and to
pay for things with ease and security.

Each country in the world has its own well known banks that have branches in nearly every city so
that they are convenient for people to use. People often have to visit the local branch of the bank
when they want certain services. There are also some very big multinational banks that have
branches in most countries in the world.

As well as the local branches that are in most cities, each bank will also have a head office. This is
where all central tasks are performed that let the local braches function. The people that work in
the branches will be the bank manager, the person in charge, and various tellers who work behind
the bank counter and help the customers. There will also likely be security guards to protect the
money, workers and customers.

Most customers will just need to see the tellers when they go to the bank if they are paying money
into their account as either cash or a check. However, they might need to see the bank manager if
they want to open an account or if they have become overdraw, when they have spent more money
than there was in the account. Also if they want to borrow money and get a loan the person will
need to see the bank manager who will have to approve it.

As well as being able to use cash or checks to pay for things, banks also offer their customers the
more convenient methods of using either a debit card or credit card. These methods are very
convenient as you just need to carry a small plastic card to be able to pay for anything. When
paying with plastic you will need to either sign a receipt or enter a PIN number to conform the
purchase and that you are authorized to use the card.

What a British Person Should Know When Eating Out in America


Eating out may be a simple thing, but for British people who have just come to America, it could
be an experience full of surprises. Here are five main differences a Brit should pay attention to
when eating out in a restaurant in America.
Ordering Drinks
The first thing a waiter would ask when you sit down in an American restaurant is whether you
would like bottled or tap water. If you choose bottled, you will then be asked whether you would
prefer still or sparkling. Soon, the water you ordered will be brought to you. Coffee and soft
drinks will also be gladly refilled. The waiter will proactively ask if you want another coffee or
coke. In Britain, water and soft drinks must be requested and they are not free.
The Service
Waiters in American restaurants are more pleasant and attentive. They are always chatty and
often come to your table during the meal to refill drinks and check everything is okay. In
England, waiters are less likely to frequently check on customers. If you need something, you
can raise your hand and waive at the waiter or else, you will be left alone for hours.

The Menu
In an American restaurant, picky eaters can customize the menu to suit their exact preferences by
reeling off special requirements and substitutions. You can order salad but without tomato or
with a special dressing to accommodate your diet. There is a friendly atmosphere that
encourages you to have exactly what you want and satisfy your appetite. On the other hand,
people in England tend to order a meal with all the options that come with it. It is less common
for them to complain about the food or have the waiter send dishes back to the kitchen.

Picking up the Bill


In America, a waiter will bring you the bill even though you have not asked for it. This would be
seen as very impolite by British customers, as it implies that they are being hurried out of the
restaurant.

Tipping
Tipping in England is optional. You will tip if you are satisfied with the meal and service, which
is generally about 10%. If you are dissatisfied, you do not need to tip and this is quite common.
In America, a tip of 15-20% is generally mandatory. For American waiters, tipping is the main
source of their income. Even if the service is bad you should still tip, but it makes sense to give a
smaller tip.
6. What would a waiter ask first in an American restaurant
(A) ? Whether you would like water or soft
(B) drink. Whether you would like bottled or tap
(C) water. Whether you would like coffee.
(D) Whether you would like a cocktail.
7. What is a waiter in Britain less likely to do?
(A) Check on customers.
(B) Ask for tips.
(C) Bring the menu.
(D) Take an order.

8. What are British customers less likely to do when eating out?


(A) Order salad without tomato.
(B) Order hamburger without mayonnaise.
(C) Substitute the drink.
(D) Substitute the menu.

9. How do customers pick up the bill in British restaurants?


(A) Wait until a waiter come.
(B) Put money on the table.
(C) Raise a hand and waive.
(D) Go to the cashier.
10. How much should you tip a waiter in America?
(A) Less than $10.
(B) About 10%.
(C) Between $15 and $20.
(D) Between 15 and 20%.

READING COMPREHENSION
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.
Doctors
When most people are ill with a non-life threatening condition they will most often see a General
Practitioner, a GP, also called a Family Doctor. These doctors generally work in the local
community in surgeries rather than in hospitals, so they are convenient for people to see for a
consultation. However, other GPs can work in a very wide range of areas, such as in hospitals, in
education and for insurance companies.
As the name suggests, GPs are doctors that do not have a specialty, such as a brain surgeon or
cancer specialist: they are able to diagnose and treat all the possible diseases and problem that one
of their patients might have. They can treat and manage most illnesses and perform some minor
surgeries in their practice. Then for more serious cases they will refer the patient to a specialist
that will work in a hospital.
If you are ill and need to see a GP you will normally need to make an appointment. Sometimes
you can just walk into the surgery and see a doctor, but that is not very likely as GPs are normally
very busy and all their appointment times will be fully booked. Often you have to wait several
hours if not at least one of two days before you can get an appointment with a GP. If you are too
ill to wait you have to go to a hospital and visit the accident and emergency department.
GPs also make house-calls. These are when the GP comes to your house to treat you or see a
patient. Most often a GP has to make house-calls to see elderly people who cannot get to the
surgery easily. They might be ill and need to doctor to give them medicine or it could be that the
GP just want to check on them and make sure that they are ok.
If you are ill, the doctor will normally prescribe you some medicine and tell you to go away for a
few days before you go back and visit them again if you have not started to get better. The GP will
also explain how you can have a better lifestyle that could prevent you from becoming ill in the
first place. They will normally recommend that you stop smoking cigarettes (if you do), not to
drink too much alcohol and to get exercise. Once you have your prescription you will need to visit
a pharmacy to get the medicine the doctor prescribed you.

31. What is the difference between a specialist and a GP?

(B) The GP normally works in a hospital and the specialist works in a surgery.
(C) A GP can treat patients with many different illnesses, while the specialist focuses on one
area only.

(B) To make sure you are really ill.
(C) So the GP will have enough work to do each day.
(D) You will need to travel a long way to see them and the journey will take a few days.

Archaeology
R = Reporter, A = Archaeologist
R: I believe archaeologists discovered this pyramid in 1978.
A: That’s right. But we haven’t excavated everything yet. There’s still a lot to do.
R: Where are we standing now?
A: We’re near the north wall of the pyramid.
R: And why have you brought me here?
A: Well, recently we discovered this box in the ground which tells us a lot about the Aztecs.
R: Yes, I can see that it’s full of objects. What are they?
A: Some of them are pots or plates. They used them for cooking.
R: I see. And what else is in there?
A: There were some small pieces of gold and a precious blue stone called jade, but we’ve taken
them out now. The Aztecs used to do a lot of business so these types of stones were important. We
also found some small statues which had religious importance. And also there were knives. The
Aztecs used to sacrifice animals—and even other humans—to their gods, so the knives are
probably for sacrifices.
R: Did you find any bodies?

was important in some way. Maybe the owner used him for hunting.

Hi Mum and Dad,

Well I can't believe that another school year has finished. I wish I could come home and see you
for the summer, but I've got a job looking after two little children. I had applied for a waitressing
job, which was better paid than what I'm doing now, but they wanted someone with experience,
which I don't have, so I didn't get it. I started last week and it seems to be all right. The children
are nice and their mother Karen is OK, too, although I don't see very much of her because she
works. For my first day with the children, Karen thought it would be nice if we did something fun
together, so she asked me to take them to the zoo. I hadn't been to a zoo since I was a little girl, but
I remember that you used to take me quite often and I loved it. I don't remember though, why we
stopped going.

Anyway, my first shock was how expensive it was. It cost twenty pounds for adults and fifteen
pounds fifty for each child but there was a two pound discount for students like me. Of course
Karen had given me the money – she paid for my ticket as well. The zoo was much bigger than I
remembered and there was so much to see that we spent the whole day there.

We saw every kind of animal you can imagine. Ryan, the little boy, loved the reptile house with
all those disgusting snakes and Julie liked the tigers, but my favourite was the elephant house. I
don't know what it is about elephants, especially the babies, but I love them. Maybe I should have
been an explorer or a tropical vet or something. It was absolutely brilliant! Maybe we should all
go together again like we used to.

Anyway, I have to go.

Bye for now

Pets

Many people like to keep pets. Some just have one pet while other people keep many different
pets. This often depends on if they live in a big or small house. If a person lives in a small house,
or even a flat or apartment, they cannot keep a lot of pets as there is not enough room. If people
live in a big house that has a garden then they will be able to keep more pets and bigger ones.

For a person who lives in a small house a small pet is often good. They could keep a bird or two as
these are very interesting pets. They have brightly colored feathers and make nice chirping sounds.
If you have a parrot it can even learn to talk, but it takes a long time to teach it to say some words.
If a bird is too noisy then they could keep some cute animals like mice, gerbils or hamsters. These
are all nice and fluffy so you can take them out of their cages and play with them. Fish are also a
type of pet for people without much space or time. They just need some food and their bowl or
tank cleaning sometimes.

People that have more space and time to look after a pet could keep something bigger that needs
more care, such as a dog or cat. Cats do not need to be looked after as much as a dog, but they get
lonely if there is no one there with them. They often like to have someone to sit with and who
strokes them. This makes them happy and they start to purr. If someone has a dog they need to
take it out for walks so that it can get exercise. It is good to take a dog out twice a day. Dogs need
exercise so they cannot be kept in the house all the time.

There are then pets that need a very large amount of space. These would be animals such as horses
or donkeys, it could even be a domestic pig. For these animals a person needs more than a big
garden, they need a field so the animal has space to move and run around, as well as grass to eat.
These are types of animals that would generally not come into the house and the owners would
only spend part of the day with them.

the correct answer to each of the questions.
Halloween
Halloween is a celebration that happens on the 31st of October. It originally came from a Christian
religious day. The 1st of November is All Saints Day, so Halloween is the eve or night before this.
Nowadays it is mainly just an excuse for people to have fun.
The holiday was mainly celebrated in America and from there has spread to many other countries.
It is meant to be the day, and mainly the night, when monsters come out of hiding. This means that
people associate scary and frightening things with Halloween.
There are three main traditions linked to Halloween. The first is carving pumpkins, the second is
decorating your house and the third is trick-or-treating.
Pumpkins are big vegetables that go an orange color when they are ripe and ready to eat. When
someone carves a pumpkin they cut the top off it and scoop out all the seeds and flesh from the
inside. Then they carve a pattern into the outside of the pumpkin. Often they cut the pattern so that
there are holes into the center of the pumpkin. It is traditional to carve your pumpkin into a scary
face. Then when it is dark you put a candle or light inside the pumpkin so the light shines out of
the frightening face that was carved.
Then the pumpkins would be used to decorate your house. You would put them in a window or on
the front porch so people in the street can see them. However, the decorations have become much
better over the years. Now people try to make their houses look as if they are a haunted house by
making skeletons to hang in the garden or putting tombstones outside the house. They might also
make it look as if there are lots of spider webs. The people from the house try to make it look as
scary as possible.
Finally, children will get dressed up in costumes and go out trick-or-treating. This is where they
go to people’s houses and ask for sweets or candy, their treat. If the house refused to give them
anything then they would play a trick on the house. Adults do not go trick-or-treating, unless that
are looking after children, but do often have their own parties at night. At these parties people
would also be dressed up as monsters or anything else that is scary.

6. Why is Halloween scary and frightening? 9. What do people try to do when they decorate
(A) It is in the dark winter. their houses?

Weather in the UK

The weather affects everyone, and everyone has something to say about the weather. This is
especially true in a country like the UK that has very changeable weather. In the UK the weather
from one day to the next can be completely different, or even from the morning to the afternoon.
The weather can change from being rainy one day to sunny the next, or from strong wind and
gales in the morning to snow in the afternoon.

In the UK there are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather is different
in each of them. However, there is not a sudden change between the seasons. The end of the
winter season is the same as the start of the spring season. It takes several weeks for the weather to
change enough for people to notice the difference.

The summer is the season with the best weather. In general, it is hot and sunny with only a little
rain sometimes. However, it can sometimes be cold and wet for one or two weeks at a time.
British people like to spend a lot of time outside when it is nice in the summer. After the summer
is the autumn. In this season the weather gets colder and there are stronger winds, also it will rain
more. All the leaves will start to fall off the trees as it is cold. Frost might start to form on the
ground towards the end of the autumn.

Winter is the coldest season in the UK. The temperature will often be at zero degrees Celsius. This
means that ice will often form on the ground overnight where there were puddles. This makes it
difficult to walk sometimes. There might also be snow, but the UK does not get much snow,
mainly just cold rain in the winter. Then when winter ends the spring starts. The temperature will
start to get warmer and the winds will not be as strong. Plants start to grow again and new leaves
form. It is always nice when the spring starts as it means the nice weather in the summer is nearly
back again.

Many people in the UK complain about the weather, but as the weather changes so much it is very
interesting and gives the people something to talk about all year round.

Shopping
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. It is a daily routine for some
people. Some people shop for pleasure while other people go shopping just to buy the necessary
items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have
free time from work. At this time the shops are usually very busy because people try to get the
best items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock.
Some people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products in shops even
when they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping and allows people to
plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the future or wait for the items to drop in
price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while others do not think of the price
and are happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the
quality, but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable, but some
people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really
want rather than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other people for a special
occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping
themselves at their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people who have a
busy lifestyle. People are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their
own home, or even on the move. Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops
on the high street. The only real problem is that the item description and quality may be different
than what they hoped for. This could mean the customer may become disappointed with the item
they receive and will need to return it at their own cost. People who go to shops to do their
shopping often use self-service payment machines. This usually saves time as the shopper does not
need to join a long queue. However, it can be frustrating when the machine has a problem and the
sales assistant is not always available to help.

Clothes

Clothing is something we all should wear in order to fit in to society. The act of wearing clothing
is a choice in some indigenous societies while in a more modern culture you could find yourself in
trouble with the police if you choose not to wear clothes. Clothes are easily accessible and can be
bought in most high street shops. Supermarkets are also beginning to sell clothes. Clothes are for
keeping people warm or serving as protection from the strong burning sun. Certain items of
clothing can be expensive, especially if it is made by a well-known brand or is a particular design.
While clothing is affordable for most people, the price usually depends on the quality of the
material used to make the item and its brand name. In most countries clothing is taxed, while food
is not. This is probably because clothing can be considered as a luxury item, especially if it is of
very good quality.

The type of clothing that is worn usually depends on the occasion. People that attend a wedding
usually wear formal clothes. Men often wear suits and women wear dresses. Formal and smart
clothing is often worn in times of celebration. People often wear different clothing at work. Some
jobs require people to wear a special uniform which should be worn by all employees. A pilot,
doctor or air hostess may be required to wear a uniform so that all the staff can be easily
recognized. Other jobs are less strict and may allow people to wear casual clothes. Construction
workers are usually asked to wear protective clothing, especially when the site is considered
highly dangerous.

People often choose to wear comfortable clothing inside their own home. This choice of clothing
may be very different to the clothing they would normally wear outside. Some people even stay in
their bedclothes all day on the weekend when they plan to relax and not go anywhere. People
often wear clothing which matches their current state of health or their age. Pregnant women are
likely to wear baggy clothes, while youths often wear tighter clothing to show their figure.
Younger females often wear high heeled shoes while elderly people tend to wear more
comfortable shoes which will allow them to walk with ease.

Sport
There are many different kinds of sports that are undertaken by a wide variety of different people.
Some people do sport for their career and other people purely do sport for enjoyment and
recreation. Some sports, like cricket, require the use of a lot of equipment, while others need very
little in order to successfully play a game in that sport. Some people use public playing fields to
play sport for free, while other sports such as squash, tennis, badminton and table tennis are
usually paid for on an hourly basis in the comfort of a local leisure centre.
Most sports are played with a round object often known as a ball. Some sports use more than one
ball and snooker is one of the unique sports that make use of a number of balls while being played.
The game itself is often controlled by an impartial individual known as an umpire in cricket and a
referee in sports like football and rugby. Most sports have a duration of not more than a few hours,
however some athletic tournaments can last for up to a week and a game of cricket can be five
days in duration before a winner is announced.
Some people prefer to watch sport. This can either be done by going to a stadium, a local leisure
centre, park or on the television. It is often cheaper to watch sport from the comfort of a person’s
home than to visit the stadium or a special event. Some sports, such as football and cricket, are
really popular in the United Kingdom but not in the USA. In the USA people often play basketball
and baseball. However, most countries put aside time to compete in world sporting events such as
the football world cup or the Olympics, which occur every four years.
Nowadays, people who suffer from any kind of disability are also encouraged to participate in
sport and most sport equipment is adapted to suit the needs of a disabled person. This means sport
is something that can be enjoyed no matter the physical ability of the person. The para-olympics
takes place a week after the main event and it is equally popular. Participation in sporting activity
is encouraged by doctors and at schools given the beneficial impact it has on the health of the
individual that participates, and it is for this reason and the competitive nature of individuals that
sport remains a very popular activity worldwide.

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.
Legal
In many countries the legal systems are very complex. This is because they have been developed over
very long times. Every time that a new case is decided it can have an affect on future cases. This
means that the people who work in legal situations have to be clever. They have to know and
understand all the rules and precedents. A precedent is when a previous decision will have an effect on
future cases as it was related to an important point.
There are many people who work with the law, such as solicitors or judges. A solicitor is a lawyer who
spends most of their time advising their clients and preparing legal documents, such as wills or
contracts for buying and selling houses. They need to be very careful and make sure that all the details
are correct, otherwise their clients might lose a lot of money.
A barrister is a type of lawyer who works in court rooms. They will either work for the prosecution or
defense sides. If they are a prosecution lawyer they are trying to prove that the defendant (the person
on trial) committed a crime. They have to present evidence to show that the defendant is guilty. If they
are a defense lawyer then they work for the defendant and have to show that the evidence presented is
not enough to prove that their client is guilty and he should be judged to be not guilty.
Then there are judges and magistrates. A magistrate will hear trials about less serious crimes, while a
judge’s will be about more serious crimes. These are the people who have to decide what punishment
will be given to someone who is guilty. The punishments could range from a small fine up to a long
prison sentence, and even a death sentence in some countries. The trial happens in the judge’s
courtroom, so the judge is responsible for making sure the trial is run fairly and follows the law.
If a lawyer believes that a trial was not fair or there was a mistake in the law, they can ask for a new
trial that will generally be hear by an appeal court where an appeal judge will be in charge. Often
appeal judges will be the most experienced judges in a country, so they know a lot about the law and
how to apply it.

Driving in Different Countries

Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and areas. For this
reason, you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country. If you are not careful,
you can get into trouble, since the rules might be very different from what you are used to. For example, you can
find some big differences in laws related to the minimum driving age, the appropriate side of the road to drive
on, and mobile phone use while driving.

In the United States of America, people who live in Alaska may obtain a learner’s permit (legal permission to
drive while being supervised) at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving laws of Niger, where
a person must be at least twenty-three years old to drive. If you are curious to know the minimum driving age in
most countries, the answer is eighteen.

It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows its citizens to drive, although most of them do.
For example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are. Instead, they must
have a male family member or hired male driver to travel by car.

Driving on the right or left side of the road also varies. For instance, in Great Britain, Cyprus, Australia, India,
and Malaysia people drive on the left. However, in the U.S., Mexico, France, and Canada people are required to
drive on the right. As a matter of fact, one country can have different driving rules for different areas. For
example, people in Hong Kong drive on the left, while drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the
road.

Other driving laws that are different between countries include those related to using mobile phones. In Japan,
using any kind of mobile phone device is illegal, even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands.
However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones as long as they do not
use their hands.

You might also find it interesting to learn that some countries have very strange or unusual laws. For example, in
the country of Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving. Even more interesting is that in
Germany, there is a famous road called the Autobahn, where certain parts have no speed limit at all!

36. According to the passage, why is it illegal to eat or 38. Why should you learn the laws before driving in a
drink while driving in Cyprus? foreign country?

How to Trace Your Family Tree Online

A family tree or genealogical tree is a diagram that shows the relationships between members of a
family in several generations. Creating a family tree is a great way for children to broaden their
knowledge about great grandparents and other family members who have passed away or who they
have never had the chance to meet. For adults, it can be a way to learn about family history and how it
has affected their present and future lives.

Tracing and creating a family tree can be difficult and complicated to do, especially if you do not have
sufficient knowledge about your family history and only have a few old photos and documents.
However, digital technology has made it easier for you because now you can access online databases
and search engines and obtain the information you need within minutes. The key information that you
need includes names (common surnames or family names), dates of significant events (birth, marriage,
death, emigration) and places to locate records such as church registers.

You can start your genealogy research by building a skeleton family tree. For this purpose, you can go
to various sites on the Internet. After you have done the basic family tree, it is time to dig deeper by
going to more specialized websites that contain military or employment records, parish records or
wills. In this phase, you need to be sure of what you are searching for. For example, if you look for the
military records of your great grandfather, you should have his full name, date of birth and the forces
in which he served. Here are some sites that genealogists often use to research specific information: 1)
the National Archives site contains wills and naval records, 2) the Origins Network site contains
apprenticeship records, military records and marriage indexes, 3) the Times Online site provides
information about famous or notorious ancestors from 1785-1985 and 4) the CWGC site provides
details of servicemen and women who died during the two World Wars.

Of course, not all information is available online and you should not expect to find your entire family
tree in one place. You may still need to visit your local family history center and look at cemeteries,
courthouses and churches for more information. You can also make contact with genealogy
communities through their websites and ask for a piece of advice. You can use sites like Genuki and
Cyndis List to consult on genealogy research and find valuable information, genealogical material and
links to hundreds of other genealogy websites.

Halloween in Britain and America
The Halloween celebration originated from an ancient Celtic festival some 2,000 years ago in the area that
is now Ireland. It came to America during colonization and the American version of Halloween emerged as
the result of different European and Native American beliefs and customs being mashed-up. By the
beginning of the twentieth century, Halloween became a holiday for community and neighborly gathering,
and Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day.
Today’s Halloween traditions include trick-or-treating and dressing in costume. Trick-or-treat has its origin
in All Souls’ Day parades in England, during which poor citizens would beg for food and families would
give them pastries in return for praying for their dead relatives. The practice was eventually taken up by
children who would visit houses around their neighborhood and be given food and money. On the other
hand, the tradition of dressing in costume has both European and Celtic roots. At that time on Halloween,
people wore masks when they left their homes so that the roaming ghosts would not recognize them.
Halloween’s main celebration is parties where guests wear horror costume to reflect the day’s theme.
Among teens and kids, however, Halloween costumes inspired by TV shows and movies are more popular,
such as pirate, spider man, batman, Disney princess and Star Wars characters. Party venues are usually
decorated by various symbols associated with Halloween, such as pumpkin lanterns, witches, wizards,
ghosts, spirits and characters from horror films.
Besides attending or throwing a party, many people, especially young adults, like to visit haunted houses.
Travel agencies and attractions see this as a business opportunity and offer special Halloween travel
packages. The Universal Orlando parks in Florida America, for example, feature haunted houses and “scare
zones” that last for weeks to attract tourists from other cities.
Halloween is said to be the second-largest commercial holiday after Christmas. In fact, Halloween has
become an industry and grown significantly in the past decades. The Halloween costumes and symbols lead
many stores and businesses to promote products with a Halloween theme, which makes Halloween today
more commercial. Retailers sell Halloween merchandise while nightclubs, restaurants and bars offer the
hosting of Halloween events.
Both in Britain and America, Halloween falls on October 31st but unlike in the USA, Halloween is not a
major holiday in the UK. Schools, businesses, stores and other organizations are open as usual and public
transport services run normally.
