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 27 to 31.
In recent years, many secondary schools in Vietnam have introduced financial education programs to their students. Instead of waiting until adulthood to handle cash, teenagers are now taught how to manage personal pocket money, budget for weekly school expenses, and distinguish between essential needs and temporary desires. A typical example is Minh Tuan, a ninth grader in Bac Ninh City. After attending a short course on personal budget management at school, he decided to stop spending all his money on fast food and online games. Instead, he keeps a small daily notebook to track his spending and saves twenty percent of his pocket money in a bank piggy account. Thanks to this habit, Tuan was able to purchase his own high-quality bicycle for commuting without asking his parents for financial help.
Educators assert that teaching teenagers money skills at an early age brings numerous long-term advantages. Young people who understand financial management develop greater independence and responsibility. They become less likely to fall into debt or make impulsive purchases when they grow up. Furthermore, learning to save money teaches children patience and appreciation for their parents' hard work.
To help children build healthy financial habits, parents should also cooperate closely with schools. Giving teenagers small amounts of pocket money and guiding them on how to allocate it wisely is far more effective than simply buying them everything they request. Ultimately, practical financial skills provide students with a solid foundation for a self-reliant and successful future.
Câu 27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Why High School Students Should Buy Their Own Bikes
B. Developing Financial Management Skills in Teenagers
C. The Negative Effects of Fast Food on Student Budgets
D. How Vietnamese Parents Deal With Household Debts
Câu 28. According to paragraph 1, how did Minh Tuan manage his pocket money after his school course?
A. He asked his parents to increase his daily pocket allowance.
B. He stopped commuting by bicycle to save travel expenses.
C. He tracked his expenses in a notebook and saved part of his money.
D. He spent all his spare money buying commercial video games.
Câu 29. According to paragraph 2, what happens when teenagers acquire money management skills early?
A. They will avoid taking school examinations in high school.
B. They become more independent and avoid impulsive purchases later.
C. They refuse to receive any financial guidance from their parents.
D. They always choose to work part-time instead of attending university.
Câu 30. The word "allocate" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. distribute
B. refuse
C. borrow
D. waste
Câu 31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Minh Tuan bought a bicycle on his own without asking his parents for money.
B. Financial education teaches students to value their parents' hard work.
C. Parents should just purchase everything their children demand without guidance.
D. Distinguishing between needs and wants is part of teenage financial literacy.

A Culinary Tour Through Traditional Craft Villages
Last autumn, Sarah, an Australian culinary writer, spent two weeks traveling through traditional craft villages in northern Vietnam. Having read numerous articles about Vietnamese gastronomy, she was enthusiastic about discovering how authentic regional specialties are crafted by local artisans. Her journey started in the ancient villages of Bac Ninh, famous for delicious Nem Bui and sweet Phu The cakes, before heading across the Red River Delta.
During her exploration, Sarah observed the traditional techniques handed down across several generations. In Dinh Bang village, she watched master bakers carefully wrap Phu The cakes in fresh green banana leaves and tie them with red bamboo ribbons. Although modern industrial machines could speed up the production, village artisans continue to make these specialties by hand to preserve the authentic flavor and symbolic cultural meaning. Sarah also spent time talking to local elderly craftswomen, who explained that the cakes represent harmony, loyalty, and conjugal happiness in traditional weddings.
Sarah realized that culinary heritage is not merely about tasting food, but about understanding a community's soul. It connects the wisdom of the ancestors with contemporary life and instills deep pride in younger generations. After finishing her journey, Sarah published a special article series encouraging international travelers to explore Vietnamese rural craft villages rather than merely visiting modern shopping complexes in big cities.

D. She produced a television series about Australian culinary traditions.

B. Because wrapping cakes by hand saves much more production time.

KỊCH BẢN BÀI NGHE (AUDIO SCRIPT)
PART 1 (Questions 1 – 4)
You will hear Mr. David speaking about the growing trend of green living among young people in Vietnam. Listen to the audio TWICE.
Hello everyone, and welcome to today's talk on modern consumer behavior. If you observe young Vietnamese people in cities like Hanoi, Da Nang, or Bac Ninh today, you will notice a remarkable shift. A few years ago, single-use plastic bags and disposable plastic cups were everywhere. However, an inspiring wave of eco-friendly living is taking over among urban students and young professionals.
Nowadays, carrying a personal stainless-steel bottle, using reusable cloth totes for groceries, and bringing bamboo straws to cafés have turned into proud daily habits. Why this sudden change? Young Vietnamese consumers are well-educated on climate change and environmental degradation. They recognize that their everyday purchases have a direct, long-lasting impact on the planet's future. Consequently, they deliberately support sustainable local brands and ethical businesses. In response, hundreds of coffee shops and bakeries are replacing petroleum plastic with compostable sugarcane boxes and paper straws. Living green is no longer just a short-lived buzzword; it has truly transformed into a meaningful lifestyle for the younger generation.
Thank you for your listening.
PART 2 (Questions 5 – 8)
You will hear a short conversation between an interviewer and Linh, a 15-year-old student passionate about community volunteering. Listen to the audio TWICE.
Interviewer: Welcome to "Youth in Action"! Today, we have a very inspiring guest in our studio, 15-year-old Linh from Bac Ninh. Hello Linh, thank you for coming!
Linh: Hello everyone! It is a real pleasure to be here and represent our student volunteer club.
Interviewer: Linh, many parents and teachers often worry that when teenagers get involved in community activities, it might take away precious time from their academic studies. What has your experience been like?
Linh: Yes, that is a common misconception! In reality, volunteering has taught me exceptional time management. We organize our study schedules much better so we can dedicate our free weekends to meaningful causes without letting our grades slip.
Interviewer: That is impressive! Could you share what specific project your volunteer group is currently carrying out?
Linh: Certainly! Over the past six months, our club has been running a campaign called "Pages of Hope." We collect used textbooks and storybooks from city schools, repair them, and set up free mini-libraries for children living in remote mountainous villages. Seeing those children smile when holding a book makes all our hard work worthwhile.
Interviewer: What heartwarming work! If you could offer one piece of advice to teenagers who want to start making a positive difference in society, what would it be?
Linh: I would say: don't wait for a huge project or lots of money. Start right where you are with small, simple acts in your own neighborhood—like helping elderly neighbors or sorting household trash. Small steps create big changes!
Interviewer: Beautifully said, Linh. Thank you so much for your inspirational story today!
