each of the questions.
When it comes to preparations for studying abroad, the very
first challenge for students is how to live independently.
Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a
faraway country often ingrains an obscure fear of loneliness
and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a plan to earn a
degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves
with essential skills to start a truly independent life as soon as
possible. First and foremost, you do not need to be an
excellent cook but should know basic cooking skills to feed
yourselves. Suppose that you experienced a pandemic period,
you would have to cook at home due to social distancing and
most restaurant closures. Second, clean-up and household
skills are of equal importance. To lower accommodation
costs, many students often choose to share apartments with
other mates. Definitely, no one wants to stay with those who
are untidy and do not know how to do simple household
tasks, so make sure that you can do daily housework well
enough. Third, money management is a challenging task for
most overseas students. Some students are often flat broke
at the end of the month because they cannot handle their
budget. It's advisable to be a smart shopper by making a
suitable shopping list and keeping an accurate record of your
daily expenses to avoid pointless debt. In short, the pieces of
advice will hopefully make your independent life easier when
you go to university in another country.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A.

How to face loneliness and helplessness at home

B.

Ways to gain independence while studying abroad

C.

Overseas students and problems with additional expenses

What are you doing, Matt?

Matt:

Hi, Ava. Having planned a summer holiday in Hawaii, I'm
learning a few basic Hawaiian phrases.

Ava:

I don't think this is the ideal time to visit Hawaii.

Matt:

Why not?

Ava:

Having suffered from over-tourism, the locals are asking
tourists to stop visiting the island. Thousands of new arrivals
every day are creating traffic jams, overcrowding and resource
depletion; and the local people have to cope with their
consequences every day.

Matt:

Actually, I have heard of the problem but I try to be responsible
whenever I travel. I'm aware of the impact on the environment
and the local community. Therefore, I usually shop locally to
help the community's economy. When possible, I always book
eco-tours.

Ava:

Not every tourist shares your sense of responsibility. Some use
natural heritage sites as a backdrop for their pictures and
display disrespectful behaviour towards other countries'
cultural heritage. In some cases, tourists even destroyed
natural and cultural landmarks.

Matt:

Some tourists can misbehave; however, I think tourism, in
general, can be beneficial. It was the financial gain from
tourism that contributed to many projects that preserved and
protected heritage values. Having received more job
opportunities, local people also benefit from the popularity of
tourism.

4. restore the balance
5. were released
Script:
A natural ecosystem is a community of living and non-living beings that
exist in the same environment. These beings have a close relationship in which
the removal of one species can greatly impact the whole ecosystem. One
example of this is the disappearance of wolves in Yellowstone National Park in
the mid-1900s.
When the park was established in 1872, the wolf population in the area
already decreased. Due to a lack of protection from park managers and the
government's predator control programme, a large number of wolves were
killed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, which led to the eradication of the
last wolf in 1926.
Having eliminated an entire species from the ecosystem, park managers
realised their big mistake. It was wolves that kept the population of deer
under control. Because of the absence of their main predator, deer multiplied
and the overpopulation destroyed plants and other species habitats.
Following the deteriorating condition of the park, many scientists and
biologists suggested bringing back wolves to restore the balance of the park's
ecosystem. Campaigns for the reintroduction of wolves began in the mid1900s, but it wasn't until 1995 that fourteen wolves were released into the
park. That was a big success bringing about greater biodiversity and a more
balanced ecosystem.

TASK 2
Sample writing
These days, it is argued that the promotion of tourism at national
reserves is a menace to wildlife protection. From my point of view, if we
take advantage of tourism properly, it will substantially contribute to the
preservation of rare flora and fauna.
Firstly, it's a good way to raise tourists' awareness of wildlife issues.
Through eco-tours, they have a great chance to enjoy the pristine beauty
with a diversity of exotic plants and animals. The more concerned about
vulnerable ecosystems they get, the more actions they take to prevent
poaching and deforestation.
Secondly, the expenditure on maintaining national parks from local
governments is limited; therefore, the revenue generated from tourism
activities is a valuable supplement to the conservation operations.
Finally, nowadays many eco-tours are designed for field trips. Observing
the multitude of plants and animals in person will widen young students'

thuvienhoclieu.com

Trang 13

thuvienhoclieu.com

practical knowledge of biodiversity. They can do some fascinating
research on how to protect threatened species after these trips.
In summary, I firmly believe that tourism at national reserves should be
promoted due to its great indicated benefits above. However, we should
take control of it precisely to avoid man-made destruction there.

TASK 1

Peer pressure, the strong influence from members of the
same age group or social group on others' psychology,
thoughts and behaviour, has remained widespread among
teenagers in recent years. If teenagers are unable to tackle it,
they will wilt under the pressure of low self-esteem and
depression. In the digital age, young students are
overwhelmed with tremendous online articles about
thuvienhoclieu.com

Trang 16

thuvienhoclieu.com

admirable achievements of 'someone else's child' or 'a prodigy
next door'. Consequently, reality is replete with teens who
seem reserved and like to hide in their own room for fear of
being asked about exam results or tolerating unfavourable
comparisons from their relatives and acquaintances. In
addition, many teens nowadays tend to make friends with
those who study well or have good looks, so many young
students have to change who they are so as to fit in with their
peers. In other words, weak-minded and average individuals
become worn out in an attempt to get flying colours, look slim
and fit as well as possess cool tech gadgets. To handle
negative peer pressure, students need to alter their opinions,
care for their own feelings more than others' thoughts and
trusting in their own abilities. Accepting one's imperfections is
another way to stop pushing themselves beyond the limits of
their mental endurance. Besides, if teenagers' parents are one
of the factors that make them stressed about peer pressure,
they should spend more time talking frankly with them to get
sympathy and mutual understanding.

Peer pressure – a very unsettling situation

B.

Teenagers' ways to deal with peer pressure

C.

How to combat teenagers' inferiority complex

3. What is the consequence of frequent comparison remarks of
parents?
A.

Children become rebellious and talk back to their parents.

B.

Children hang out with their bad friends more often.

Trang 17

C.

Children prefer being alone and rarely go out of their rooms.

D.

Children flinch from keeping up with their ideal friends.

4. Why do many young students try to fit in with their peers?

teenagers experiences some forms of mental disorder. However, there is a
lack of knowledge about mental health around people suffering from these
issues.
The most common problems that teenagers struggle with are depression,
anxiety and eating disorders. The symptoms of these conditions such as
sadness, concentration problems that parents and adults hardly notice.
Moreover, it's easy to mistake these symptoms as a part of teenagers'
growth. Mental health issues can affect young people's physical health,
personal relationship and academic performance.
Besides the ignorance of mental health, people with mental disorders
also have to face prejudices and negative attitudes from society. Many
people incorrectly assume that mentally ill people are crazy and violent,
which keeps young people from seeking help.
For people with mental conditions, recovery can be harder without timely
treatment. Therefore, young people shouldn't hide their struggles and
feelings. It's important to get diagnosed by professionals. It may take some
time to find the right combination of therapy and medication for each
person, but recovering from mental health issues is possible.
