dịch hộ mình với nhéMeet the student running an online magazine with a difference 

If you read a lot of fashion and lifestyle blogs, you’ll know it can be difficult to find thoughtful writing about meaty issues among the endless photos of elegantly styled cacti and £40 candles. But Into the Fold is a little different.

  

Unlike a lot of writing found in the blogosphere, in which people show off their flawlessly arranged dressing tables and #blessed lives, its articles tackle some of the darker aspects of being a student and a young woman. The online magazine, which went live last July, showcases a blend of opinion pieces, real-life experiences, style, London tips and some travel.

  

Writers reveal their innermost struggles: from how an exercise addiction affected their self image, to what it’s like growing up in a world in which you’re marginalised because of your skin colour, and being diagnosed with anxiety. Many of the site’s contributors are students with blogs and Youtube channels.

  

Camilla Ackley, 19, a second-year philosophy student at Bristol University, started the site after becoming disillusioned with fashion blogging, a world she’d been frequenting since she was 13. Her philosophy degree made her question why, after consuming mainstream media, she was always left feeling like she was doing things wrong as a woman – from how she looked to how she should act on a date. And she knew other students felt the same.

   

Ackley says she was inspired by the American online magazine Rookie, which has been applauded for its compassion and the sensitive way it handles the issues young women face. Rookie’s founder, Tavi Gevinson, is the same age as Ackley and one of her idols.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Insects' lives are very short and they have many enemies, but they must survive long enough to breed and perpetuate their kind. The less insect-like they look, the better their chance of survival. To look "inedible" by imitating plants is a way frequently used by insects to survive. Mammals rarely imitate plants, but many fish and invertebrates do.

 The stick caterpillar is well named. It is hardly distinguishable from a brown or green twig. This caterpillar is quite common and can be found almost anywhere in North America. It is also called "measuring worm" or "inchworm." It walks by arching its body, then stretching out and grasping the branch with its front feet then looping its body again to bring the hind feet forward. When danger threatens, the stick caterpillar stretches its body away from the branch at an angle and remains rigid and still, like a twig, until the danger has passed.

 Walking sticks, or stick insects, do not have to assume a rigid, twig-like pose to find protection; they look like inedible twigs in any position. There are many kinds of walking sticks, ranging in size from the few inches of the North American variety to some tropical species that may be over a foot long. When at rest their front legs are stretched out, heightening their camouflage. Some of the tropical species are adorned with spines or ridges, imitating the thorny bushes or trees in which they live.

            Leaves also seem to be a favorite object for insects to imitate. Many butterflies can suddenly disappear from view by folding their wings and sitting quietly among the plants that they resemble.

Which of the following is true of stick insects?

A. They make themselves look like other insects.

B. They change color to make themselves invisible.

C. They are camouflaged only when walking.

D. They resemble their surroundings all the time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or 0 on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

Every summer, when the results of university entrance exam come out, many newspaper stories are published about students who are top-scorers across the country. Most portray students as hard-working, studious, smart and, generally, from low-income families. They are often considered heroes or heroines by their families, communes, villages and communities, And they symbolise the efforts made to lift them, and their relatives, out of poverty. The students are often too poor to attend any extra-classes, which make their achievements more illustrious and more newsworthy. While everyone should applaud the students for their admirable efforts, putting too much emphasis on success generates some difficult questions.

If other students look up to them as models, of course it's great. However, in a way, it contributes to society's attitude that getting into university is the only way to succeed. For those who fail, their lives are over. It should be noted that about 1.3 million high school students take part in the annual university entrance exams and only about 300,000 of them pass. What's about the hundreds of thousands who fail? Should we demand more stories about those who fail the exam but succeed in life or about those who quit university education at some level and do something else unconventional?

"I personally think that it's not about you scoring top in an entrance exam or get even into Harvard. It's about what you do for the rest of your life," said Tran Nguyen Le Van, 29. He is the founder of a website, vexere.com, that passengers can use to book bus tickets online and receive tickets via SMS. His business also arranges online tickets via mobile phones and email. Van dropped out of his MBA at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona in the United States. His story has caught the attention of many newspapers and he believes more coverage should be given to the youngsters who can be role-models in the start-up community. Getting into university, even with honours, is just the beginning. We applaud them and their efforts and obviously that can give them motivation to do better in life. However, success requires more than just scores," Van said. Van once told a newspaper that his inspiration also came from among the world's most famous drop-outs, such as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or Bill Gates who also dropped out of Harvard University.

Alarming statistics about unemployment continues to plague us. As many as 162,000 people with some kind of degree cannot find work, according to Labour Ministry's statistics this month. An emphasis on getting into university does not inspire students who want to try alternative options. At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Training is still pondering on how to reform our exam system, which emphasises theories, but offers little to develop critical thinking or practice. Vu Thi Phuong Anh, former head of the Centre for Education Testing and Quality Assessment at Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City said the media should also monitor student successes after graduation. She agreed there were many success stories about young people, but added that it was imbalanced if students taking unconventional paths were not also encouraged.

Vietnam is, more than ever, in desperate need of those who think outside the box. Time for us to recognise talent, no matter where it comes from or how.

Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?

A. Many students consider universities as their only way after school.

B. A good model of being successful in the real life out of school,

C. Not many students are successful after graduating from universities.

D. University is not the only way to success.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In our connected globalized world, the languages which dominate communications and business, Mandarin, Hindi, English, Spanish and Russian amongst others, are placing small languages spoken in remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages such as Liki, Taushiro and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors towards languages which promise education, success and the chance of a better life. While to many parents, this may appear a reasonable choice, giving their offspring the opportunity to achieve the sort of prosperity they see on television, the children themselves often lose touch with their roots. However, in many places the more reasonable option of bilingualism, where children learn to speak both a local and a national language, is being promoted. This gives hope that many endangered languages will survive, allowing people to combine their links to local tradition with access to wider world culture.

While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national governments should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically unproductive language, especially in times of budget constraints. It is generally accepted that national languages unite and help to create wealth while minority regional languages divide. Furthermore, governments have a duty to ensure that young people can fulfil their full potential, meaning that state education must provide them with the ability to speak and work in their national language and so equip them to participate responsibly in national affairs. People whose language competence does not extend beyond the use of a regional tongue have limited prospects. This means that while many people may feel a sentimental attachment to their local language, their government’s position should be one of benign neglect, allowing people to speak the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual disappearance.

Many PhD students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language skills, with the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with speakers of the language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their research. At the same time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that minority languages serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a view fails to take into account the fact that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over thousands of years, is contained in a language and that language extinction and species extinction are different facets of the same process. They are part of an impending global catastrophe which is beginning to look unavoidable.

(Adapted from Complete Advanced by Guy Brook – Hart and Simon Haines)

What can be inferred from the sentence “their government’s position should be one of benign neglect” in paragraph 2?

A.People who are not members of the government will be allowed to speak their local languages.

B.It’s better to allow these minority languages to die naturally by neglecting them.

C.The government does not appreciate the importance of minority languages.

D.The local people will be neglected if they use their ancestors’ languages.

(Điều này có nghĩa rằng trong khi nhiều người cảm thấy khá gắn kết với ngôn ngữ địa phương họ, thì thái độ của chính phủ nên là nhẹ nhàng phớt lờ, vẫn cho phép họ nói ngôn ngữ đó, nhưng lại không làm gì để bảo tồn nó khỏi sự biến mất dần dần).

Như vậy, thái độ nhẹ nhàng phớt lờ, không hề bảo tồn các ngôn ngữ thiểu số là cách để cho nó bị đào thải một cách tự nhiên.
