Question 31 – 35: Read the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.
(1 m)
In the 1960s, life in Vietnamese schools was very different from today. Students wore
simple uniforms, often made by their mothers. They walked or rode bicycles to school, as
cars and motorbikes were not common. Schools were basic, with wooden desks and
chalkboards, and sometimes classes were held outdoors.
Discipline was strict, and teachers were highly respected. Students addressed their
teachers with great formality and stood up whenever they spoke. Lessons focused on
reading, writing, and arithmetic, with a strong emphasis on memorization and recitation.
Physical punishment, like a ruler on the knuckles, was not uncommon for misbehavior.
During breaks, students played traditional games like "o an quan" and "banh đũa."
These activities helped build strong friendships and teamwork. Without modern
technology, students found joy in simple pleasures and learned to be creative with limited
resources.
Exams were a significant part of school life. Students studied hard and often stayed up
late to prepare. Success in exams was a source of great pride for families. Education was
highly valued, as it was seen as the key to a better future.
Despite the hardships, many people look back on their old school days with fondness.
The friendships made and the lessons learned have left a lasting impact. The simplicity
and discipline of the past have shaped many successful individuals today.
