I had always dreamt of working in a bank because I thought I would earn a lot of money. I was
told that I had to try hard to make my dream come true.
I burnt the midnight oil and finally had some success. First, I was accepted to a prestigious
secondary school in Ha Noi. There, I gained not only knowledge but also a number of skills including
teamwork, cooperation, and interpersonal skills. I also become much more organised thanks to the
mountains of work which had to be completed to meet the strict deadlines. I felt I was lucky to have such
supportive peers and excellent teachers. My next achievement was when I gained admission to the
Banking Academy of Viet Nam.
After three years, I graduated and was awarded a degree in banking. But I realised that I wasn’t
suited to a nine-to-five job in a bank, even though I was still interested in the subject of finance. Feeling
confused, I decided to talk to my parents and my closest friend. Interestingly, I learned that I had the
qualifications, skills, and above all, the aptitude for a teaching career. And now I’m a lecturer for the
Banking Academy where I graduated.

Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in

polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This is not only killing the fish, but is

Câu VII. Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi. (0,8 điểm)
Last year I visited the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area in Somerset, South West
England. This area is home to one of Somerset's oldest traditional crafts - willow basket making. Basket
making began in the area a long time ago. At the beginning of the 19th century, more than three thousand
acres of willow trees were planted commercially there because the area provided an excellent natural habitat
for their cultivation.
I'd seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I was still amazed at the variety of products
made by the basket makers there. They make lobster pots, bread trays, and even passenger baskets for hot air
balloons.
Although the arrival of plastics in the 1950s caused the basket making industry to decline, willow
growing and basket making have continued to play a significant role in Somerset's rural economy. Willow
growers and basket makers have dealt with this challenge by finding new markets and innovative ways of
using willow. They make willow charcoal for artists, and bower seats for gardens. Some even weave willow
coffins. Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparents passed down to them.
1. Where are Somerset Levels? In Somerset, South West England
2. Why does the basket making industry decline?
3. What are some innovative products made in the area? Lobster pots, bread trays, and even passenger baskets
for hot air balloons, charcoal for artists, and bower seats for gardens
4. Is basket making passed down through generations? Yes, it is
