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 26 to 30.
LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Life in the countryside has long been associated with peace and simplicity. Unlike bustling cities where streets are packed with traffic and skyscrapers, rural areas offer open landscapes, fresh air, and green pastures. In many Vietnamese villages, daily routines follow the rhythms of agriculture. Villagers wake up early in the morning, cultivate rice on vast paddy fields, and return home before sunset.
Children in rural regions enjoy a childhood that is distinctly different from that of city kids. Instead of attending extra classes all weekend or staying glued to computer screens, they often run freely across the fields, fly homemade kites, swim in rivers, or help their parents herd cattle. These activities not only improve their physical health but also cultivate a deep connection with nature.
However, rural life is not without challenges. Many villages lack modern healthcare facilities, high-quality schools, and entertainment centres. Job opportunities outside agriculture are also limited, causing many young adults to migrate to big cities in search of higher education and better employment. Despite these drawbacks, many people still appreciate the countryside for its tranquility, strong sense of community, and traditional values.
Câu 26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The disadvantages of living in urban areas.
B. A comparison of rural schools and urban schools.
C. Aspects of life in the countryside, including its lifestyle and challenges.
D. How to promote tourism in Vietnamese villages.
Câu 27. According to paragraph 1, what characterizes the daily routine of villagers?
A. They spend most of their time in modern entertainment centres.
B. They follow the rhythms of agriculture and wake up early.
C. They travel to large cities every day to work.
D. They work from sunset until midnight.
Câu 28. The word "distinctly" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. clearly
B. slightly
C. normally
D. rarely
Câu 29. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an activity done by rural children?
A. Flying homemade kites
B. Swimming in rivers
C. Playing video games online
D. Herding cattle
Câu 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Rural areas have better healthcare services than cities.
B. All young people in villages refuse to move to urban areas.
C. Economic reasons are a major factor driving rural youth to cities.
D. Traditional values are completely lost in modern villages.
