Some Russian women became well-known fighter pilots during the Second World War. Yekaterina Budanova
was one of them. She joined the Soviet Army and became a lighter pilot after working as a non-military pilot. At

and remarkable flying skills. Unfortunately, she died at the age of 26 in air-to-air fighting against German planes
although she already shot down one plane and hit a second before being shot down herself. Interested in flying at
an early age, Lydia Ultvyak joined a flying club and performed her first solo flight at the age of 15. She became a
fight instructor after graduating from the military flying school. After the German attack on the Soviet Union in
1941. Utvyak joined the Soviet Air Force and soon achieved great success. Like Budanova, she was killed (at the
age of 21) in fighting against German planes. And along with Yekaterina Budanova Lydia Utvyak is often
considered one of the world's most famous female fighter pilots.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a new word, you
want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You prefer to see the
written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular
task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts,
tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by repeating it
aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You prefer to learn by
listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by
listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes you may prefer
to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style for the particular task you are
doing.
Question 1. Which of the following is probably NOT preferred by a visual learner?
A. reading aloud B. sources with illustrations C. sources with videos

Etalk is a company that makes learning software in England. Their Onebillion project has recently become
popular, especially since their maths learning app was able to improve children's maths knowledge in Malawi in
just eight weeks.
“Onebilion” gets its name from “the aim of reaching one billion children”. This is almost the number of children
who don't have the chance to go to school, according to the founder of Etalk. Primary education was not free in
Malawi until 1994, and the sudden increase in student registration has put much pressure on the country's
education system. There are many great benefits of educating children in developing countries. For example,
women tend to have fewer and healthier kids, and have more chance to become part of the economy if they learn
the basic skills right at primary level. In Malawi, a girl has more than 5 children on average, and it doesn't
continue now.
In the Onebillion project, children are divided into groups of 25 or even 50. They are then taken to a special
classroom called Oneclass where they spend half an hour every other day with the device. Each day ten or twelve
children can use one tablet. An international volunteer controls the Oneclass and there is an online teacher who
guides the children through the app. Participating in Oneclass, all children can learn at their own pace and make
good progress in their study.
Question 1. The project of Etalk has helped children in Malawi make an improvement in ________.
A. language
B. maths
C. software
Question 2. “Onebillion” gets its names from the number of children ________.
A. who have participated in the project up to now
B. who are currently participating in the project
C. that the project expects to participate
Question 3. There is a lot of pressure on the education system in Malawi because of ________.
A. fewer teachers B. the lack of teaching resources
C. the increase in student numbers
Question 4. Giving girls some basic skills at primary schools means ________.
A. they will have fewer but healthier children
B. they are less likely to find jobs
C. they have better health and more children
Question 5. In the Onebillion project, a class consists of ________.
A. over 50 students
B. about 25 to 50 students
C. less than 25 students
Question 4. The children in Oneclass ________.

questions
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas.
Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as
business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming
power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has
become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and
women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national
socio-economic development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research
Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in
Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National
Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese
women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and
schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of
doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal
documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity" mark
a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance in
modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects on
reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass
organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to
become involved.
