Question 24.

Question 25.

Section 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The generation gap is a common issue that occurs in many families around the world. It is simply understood as the difference in beliefs, opinions, and values between younger people and their parents or grandparents. This gap often leads to misunderstandings and conflicts at home.

One major reason for this gap is the rapid development of technology. Today's teenagers grow up in a digital world with smartphones, social media, and the Internet. They use these modern tools to study, communicate, and entertain themselves every day. In contrast, many parents and grandparents did not have access to modern devices during their childhood, so they may find it difficult to understand why their children spend so much time on screens.

Another difference is related to lifestyles and career choices. While older generations often value job stability and traditional family rules, young people tend to be more independent, open-minded, and creative. They want to choose their own career paths, dress in their own styles, and make personal decisions.

To bridge the generation gap, mutual respect and open communication are very important. Parents should listen patiently to their children's ideas instead of imposing their views. At the same time, children need to show respect for their parents' life experiences and care. When family members spend quality time together and talk openly, they can easily build strong and happy relationships.

Question 26. What is the main idea of the passage?

Question 27. The word "stability" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 28. According to paragraph 2, what do today's teenagers use modern technology for?

B. AUDIO SCRIPTS (NỘI DUNG BĂNG NGHE)

Part 1: Section 1 (True / False)

"Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for teenagers. Doing regular physical exercise not only keeps your body fit and strong, but it also helps reduce mental stress after long hours of studying. You do not need to spend two hours at the gym every day; just thirty minutes of brisk walking, swimming, or cycling is enough. Eating habit is another key factor. Some students mistakenly think that skipping breakfast can help them lose weight, but this habit actually deprives your body of necessary energy and leads to overeating later. Finally, make sure you get enough sleep. Teenagers need between eight and ten hours of restful sleep each night to help their brains function effectively and stay alert throughout the day."

Part 2: Section 2 (Multiple Choice Questions)

"In the 21st century, the concept of urban living is evolving rapidly. Future smart cities will use modern technology and innovative green solutions to create a sustainable and high-quality living environment for citizens. Instead of depending on polluting fossil fuels, these cities will generate clean energy from solar panels installed on rooftops and wind turbines located nearby. Furthermore, artificial intelligence and smart sensors embedded in streets will monitor air quality and manage traffic lights to avoid traffic jams. Thanks to these eco-friendly developments, urban citizens can dramatically cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and enjoy cleaner, healthier communities."
