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 from 29 to 33.
In today's digital age, the question of whether parents should limit screen time for children has become a
significant topic of discussion. There are compelling arguments on both sides. On one hand, excessive
screen time has been linked to various health issues. It can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, contributing to
obesity and poor posture. Additionally, exposure to screens, especially before bedtime, can disrupt sleep
patterns due to the blue light emitted by electronic devices. Poor sleep can adversely affect a child's mood,
memory, and learning abilities. Thus, limiting screen time can help promote better physical health and sleep
hygiene.
Mental health and social skills are also areas of concern. Excessive screen time, particularly on social
media platforms, has been associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression in children. The
constant comparison with peers can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Moreover, spending
too much time on screens can hinder the development of essential social skills, as face-to-face interactions
are crucial for learning effective communication and empathy. By setting screen time limits, parents can
encourage their children to engage more in interpersonal activities, which fosters healthy social development
and reduces the risk of mental health issues.
Technology offers numerous benefits when used appropriately. It provides educational resources,
interactive lessons, and opportunities to develop essential digital skills that are crucial in today's world.
Rather than imposing strict limits, parents can focus on guiding their children towards high-quality content
and promoting a balanced approach to screen time. This involves integrating physical activities, social
interactions, and academic pursuits into their daily routines. By maintaining open communication and
understanding their children's needs, parents can help them develop a healthy relationship with technology,
ensuring that screen time is both productive and beneficial.

answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Over the past two centuries differen generations were born and given different names. Among these,
Generations X, Y, and Z stand out, each characterized by specific experiences, values, and perspectives.
Generation X, born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, grew up during a period of significant social
and economic change. They witnessed the transition from analog to digital technology and often had to
adapt quickly to the advent of the internet and mobile phones. Known for their independence, resilience, and
pragmatic approach to life, Gen Xers are often seen as the bridge between the more traditional Baby
Boomers and the tech-savvy Millennials. They value work-life balance and tend to be skeptical of authority,
having grown up during a time of political upheaval and corporate downsizing.
Generation Y, or Millennials, born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s to early 2000s, came of age
during the rise of the internet and social media. This generation is often characterized by its comfort with
digital technology and its propensity for social and environmental activism. Millennials value purpose and
meaning in their work and personal lives, often prioritizing experiences over material possessions. They are
also known for their collaborative spirit and desire for immediate feedback, influenced by the rapid pace of
technological advancements and the pervasive presence of social media.
Generation Z, born from the mid-1990s to early 2010s, is the first generation to grow up in a fully digital
world. This generation is highly connected, with smartphones and social media being integral parts of their
daily lives from a young age. Gen Z is marked by its entrepreneurial spirit, strong social consciousness, and
desire for authenticity. They are pragmatic, financially minded, and highly adaptive to new technologies.
Growing up amid economic uncertainty and global challenges such as climate change, they tend to be more
cautious and pragmatic than their Millennial predecessors.
Despite the differences, these generations share common ground in their adaptability and drive for
positive change. Generation X's experience and resilience, combined with Generation Y's innovative and
collaborative approach, and Generation Z's digital fluency and social consciousness, create a dynamic
interplay that can drive society forward. For organizations and communities, understanding these
generational traits is vital for creating inclusive environments that leverage the strengths of each group.

The Importance of Sleep
For about one third of your life, your eyes will be closed. You will not move very much. You will breathe very
slowly. You will be quiet. In other words, for about one third of your life, you will be asleep.

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 from 29 to 33.
Our body clock, also known as the circadian rhythm, is an internal system that regulates our sleep-wake cycle,
influencing various physiological processes. This biological clock is primarily influenced by external cues such as
light and temperature, aligning our body’s functions with the day-night cycle. For instance, exposure to natural light in
the morning signals the body to wake up and be alert, while the absence of light in the evening triggers the production
of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep.
Maintaining a consistent circadian rhythm is crucial for overall health. Disruptions to it, such as those caused by
shift work, travel across time zones, or irregular sleep patterns, can lead to various health issues. These disruptions can
affect sleep quality, mood, and cognitive functions, and over time, may contribute to more serious conditions such as
obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is essential to follow a regular sleep schedule, ensure
exposure to natural light during the day, and minimize light exposure at night to keep the body clock in sync.
Moreover, the circadian rhythm also regulates other bodily functions, including hormone release, eating habits, and
digestion. Studies have shown that our body clock influences the timing of meals, and eating at irregular times can
disrupt metabolic processes. For optimal health, it is recommended to eat meals at consistent times each day and avoid
late-night eating. By understanding and respecting it, we can improve our sleep quality, boost our overall health, and
enhance our daily performance.

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 from 34 to 40.
Individuals make decisions about their physical and mental health because serious illnesses can
significantly impact them and their families. Just as family health is tied to individual members, a nation's
health is connected to its people. A country's economic strength relies on a healthy workforce. Hence,
governments monitor the health of their populations, examining connections between health and lifestyle.
The World Health Organization (WHO) uses this data to answer: How healthy is the world?
The WHO assesses large populations' health using life expectancy and mortality rates. Life expectancy
measures the average age people are expected to live. Since the 20th century, life expectancy has
significantly increased worldwide. For example, the average global citizen now lives 27 years longer than a
century ago. Japan shows even more dramatic increases, with people living 38 years longer on average than
100 years ago. These improvements indicate that the world is healthier now than in the past century.
Mortality rates, the second indicator, measure deaths in specific regions, focusing on premature deaths.
WHO emphasizes child mortality, which makes up over 20 percent of all premature deaths. Though global
child mortality has decreased by 30 percent since 1990, significant disparities exist between nations and
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh
within countries. Mortality rates fall faster in wealthier nations and among higher-income individuals,
highlighting ongoing health inequalities.
Governments aim to reduce mortality rates by targeting premature death causes. While infectious
diseases still cause millions of deaths, particularly in developing countries, there has been progress.
HIV/AIDS, once stigmatized and ignored, has seen a 16 percent decline in new infections globally between
2000 and 2008 due to prevention efforts and new drugs.
Lifestyle choices significantly affect life expectancy and mortality rates. Obesity and smoking are major
health risks, with obesity reducing life expectancy by up to 20 years and smoking causing millions of deaths
annually. The CDC estimates a billion smokers worldwide, with 80 percent in developing countries.
Lifestyle choices thus pose health risks for individuals and nations alike.
By examining life expectancy, mortality rates, and lifestyle, we get a mixed view of global health. While
people live longer due to improved life expectancy, infectious diseases and poor lifestyle choices still cause
millions of deaths. Improving global health requires continued efforts in health education, job provision, and
income increase, highlighting the link between education, income, and health. Better-educated individuals
make healthier lifestyle choices, benefit from improved job prospects, and pass these advantages to their
children, ultimately enhancing global health.

answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh
While smart cities offer numerous benefits to city dwellers, they also present several challenges that must
be carefully considered.
One of the most pressing issues in a smart city is the secure management of sensitive information. To
make informed decisions, a variety of data—ranging from energy consumption to personal details like
CCTV footage—must be collected. However, this raises concerns about data security and privacy. The local
government must ensure that this information is handled with the highest level of security and is resilient
against cyber attacks. Additionally, the collection and use of personal data by authorities can lead to
increased social control, which poses significant privacy concerns.
Many companies in the smart city sector are relatively new, with business models that have not yet been
fully tested or proven profitable. Despite significant investment from cities, these companies need to
establish sustainable business practices to ensure long-term viability. Furthermore, the operation of smart
cities requires a workforce equipped with specialized skills, which are currently in short supply. To address
this gap, cities need to invest in training and educational programs to prepare workers, government officials,
and citizens for the demands of a smart city.
Transforming an urban area into a smart city requires substantial investment. Buildings need to be
renovated or fitted with IoT sensors and high-speed internet connections, and public transport and
infrastructure must be upgraded with smart technology. These improvements come with high costs, and
cities must carefully evaluate what is necessary to achieve the desired transformation.

answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is recognized as the smartest city in the world. This
achievement is largely due to the “Smarter London Together” initiative led by Mayor Sadiq Khan, which
outlines goals for enhancing the city's infrastructure. The strategy focuses heavily on improving traffic flow
and reducing congestion through technologies such as the congestion charge, contactless payment, and the
ultra-low emission zone. Data collected from cameras and sensors helps manage these systems.
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh
Additionally, London encourages walking by providing an app with walking routes, aiming for 80% of
journeys to be on foot, by bicycle, or via public transport. The city also supports businesses in the smart city
sector by making extensive city data available for developing new technologies.
New York, the most populous city in the United States, is another leader in smart city development.
Facing challenges related to environmental sustainability, New York launched the Smart Cities Programme,
upgrading over 600 government buildings with energy-saving LED lighting systems. Smart meters were also
installed in various properties to maintain sustainable water use, with sensors that alert residents to leaks.
Air-quality sensors and an optimized traffic control system further enhance the city's environment. New
York also supports smart city innovations through the Smart Cities Innovation Partnership, offering up to $1
million in funding to companies developing new technologies.
Paris ranks as the third smartest city globally according to the IESE Index. The city has made significant
strides toward becoming a smart and sustainable metropolis, particularly in response to issues like low air
quality, limited green spaces, and high congestion. To improve air quality, Paris promotes electric cars and
public transport, with Renault testing an induction charging system for easier car charging. Paris is also
transforming into a "15-minute city," where all essential services are within a 15-minute walk. Efforts to
green the city include the creation of the largest urban farm, with plans for more parks and roof gardens.
