Part 3. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions
1. When it comes to marriage, the timing is not the same for everyone. Although society usually puts
pressure on individuals to get married and start a family early, over the years, people have had many
reasons to get married later in life. All over the world, people of all genders have more access to
higher education now than ever. This results in people choosing to focus on their careers and
delaying marriage. Also, the fact that many young people start living alone at an early age makes
them develop high levels of independence. As a result, they do not see the need to commit to a
partner. Women in particular no longer feel the urge to get married fast. They instead spend more of
their youthful days pursuing opportunities to become more financially independent.
Financial stability is also a factor. A lot of people in their twenties are not financially stable enough
to run a home and fulfil the responsibilities that come with starting a family - after all, simply
organizing a wedding is already quite an expensive effort. That much financial pressure can be
detrimental to most relationships. As a result, many people decide to wait until they are financially
ready before tying the knot. Nowadays, many couples prefer to live together before getting married,
which provides an opportunity to experience marriage life without commitment and to figure out
whether they really suit each other. This is especially made possible as a modern society now
accepts these sorts of living arrangements.

B. believe marriage will hurt their financial independence
C. used to believe they had to marry someone fast
Câu 4: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Living together before marriage is considered acceptable in modern society.
B. Most people choose not to marry because weddings are pricey.
C. Many young individuals do not earn enough to support a marriage.
2. Plastics which were produced from fossil fuels are just over a century old, but they have
revolutionized our life completely. The great advantages plastic offered led to a throwaway trend
that made us discover plastic’s dark side: the threat it poses to our environment and life. Plastic
pollution is one of the main causes of marine species extinction, health problems for human beings
and animals alike, and the destruction of our ecosystems. According to Greenpeace, more than
100,000 sea creatures and a million sea birds die every year after eating plastic or getting trapped in
plastic rubbish.
Every year, the world produces more than 380 million tons of plastic. In the next second while
you’re reading this paragraph, people around the globe will use more than 160,000 plastic bags and
they’ll throw away more than 20,000 plastic bottles. About 10% of plastic will be recycled, and
some will go to landfills, but a lot of it will end up in the waterways and in the ocean. Experts
estimate that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste in the world’s oceans. Because plastic
isn’t biodegradable, it won’t decompose naturally, so all the plastic we have now in the world will
exist forever. Experts are warning that if we don’t take urgent action, plastics in the ocean will
outweigh fish by 2050. There are many ways we can do to keep plastic out of the ocean. We can
swap plastic bags for reusable ones, reduce the use of disposable food containers, and avoid plastic
wrappings if possible. We can also join in clean-up campaigns.
