The Legend of Minos, King of Crete

Once upon a time there lived a very famous king, named the King of Crete. He had a
stepson which was half bull and half man. He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman from Athens, to build
a labyrinth in order to house the monster. When Daedalus finished his work, he wanted to leave
Crete. But the king would not let him go.
Daedalus finally escaped through the air by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also
made wings for his son, Icarus and made him fly behind himself. But the son was so glad and
excited that he soon went to high. As he flew nearer to the sun, it got warmer and warmer until at

If you want to advance in your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about
which jobs to take. Evaluate a job offer for the value it has to your career. It may mean sacrifice at
first. You may move to a different region or a different country to get a job that is right for you.
You may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to take lower salary
for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a job if it is not
related to your career goals.

Accepting a job that is not within your career path will not give you the training or
experience you need or want. You will find yourself frustrated in such a position and
consequently will not perform your best. This will have an effect on the people around you who
will not feel as if you are being part of the team. The best advice is to think carefully before
accepting any position and make sure the job is the one you want to have.

BAD GENIUS (2017)
Cheating in school exams is an open secret. Almost everyone does it, but no one openly talks
about it. Thai director Nattawut Poonpiriya came up a hip film "Bad Genius" that tackles this very sticky
topic and wound up with the highest grossing film in Thailand.

Lynn is a brilliant math genius and scholar in a prestigious high school. Her richer (but not so
academically blessed) classmates conscripted her to let them copy her answers during major exams by
tempting her with a generous fee of 3,000 baht per exam per person. When time came for the
international-based STIC exams, Lynn called in her fellow genius scholar and competitor, Bank for his
incredible memory as the stakes of their massive cheating operation were raised to reach millions of baht
for both of them.

Lynn was played by Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying, The millionaire classmate Pat and his
pretty popular girlfriend Grace were played by Teeradon Supapunpinyo and Eisaya Hosuwan,
respectively. They play typical rich brats who think money can buy their way out of any situation.
Thaneth Warakulnukroh played Lynn's father, a humble schoolteacher Vit, in a most realistic and
sympathetic way. I totally identified with his painful frustration and unwavering support of his daughter. 

The story was told and edited in a very exciting way, like a heist caper. The elaborate plans even
involve Lynn and Bank flying to Sydney, Australia in order to get a four-hour head start on the exam
answers to transmit to Pat and Grace. I don't know if this is based on a true incident in the past but that
 10

final sequence alternating between events in Sydney and Bangkok was very suspenseful. All possible
thrill gimmicks were used to enhance the tension during that climactic series of events. 

Overall the movie is a cautionary tale against dishonesty. At my age, it was uncomfortable watching
cheating in school unfold on a big screen, but I am sure high school students will find it very funny and
entertaining, but I hope not educational in terms of techniques. A twist before the ending came gave me a
big jolt because of a shift in character which I did not expect and I did not like, but I admit that this change
was not completely implausible. Lessons about academic integrity will be taught here in this film, and I
hope the target audience learns it. 8/10

33. What does the reviewer think about the movie?

a. Boring
b. Terrifying
c. Interesting
d. Unsatisfying
e. Not as good as the novel

34. What is the communicative purpose of the text?

a. Explain the movie briefly
b. Critique and evaluate the movie
c. Describe the background of the movie
d. Give the best information of the movie
e. Present two points of view about the movie.

In the middle of a bright day, I planned to have lunch in Mandala Restaurant. I drove my car
along the road at a reasonable speed.
About fifty meters before the crossroads, a pedestrian who was walking on the pavement
suddenly ran across the road in front of my car. I was surprised that I braked as hard as I could. I
was really panic but I had to swerve to avoid the pedestrian. I crashed into a car which was parked
by the side of the road. Fortunately, the pedestrian wasn’t injured, but I had a bad cut on my face
because I hit the windscreen. I had forgotten to put on my seat belt. An ambulance took me to the
hospital where I had to have five stitches and took a rest for some hours.
There was a lot of damage to my car. The windscreen was broken and the bodywork was
