Speaker 1.
People tell me I should cash in on it, sell up and move out to the country. Prices have gone up so much around here that I could get a lovely place somewhere rural. I don’t know though, it had never really occurred to me before. I’ve lived half my life here and don’t really see much reason for a change. But while you might say the area has gone upmarket and improved, with these new bistros and shops, well it’s lost something too. A lot of the character it used to have… I mean, now I don’t even know my neighbours’ names and they don’t know mine. So I’m not sure if I should stick around now. Moving… well, it’s food for thought.
Speaker 2.
There was a time around here that you could leave your front door open morning, noon and night. Kids just played in the street unsupervised and only came home when it got dark or their dinner was on the table. Everybody knew everybody else… and their business… so it wasn’t all great!… But over the last few years it’s got worse and worse and I’ve no idea why, I really don’t. Mrs Peters at number 36, she was mugged just last Thursday, 50 pounds and her mobile phone she lost.
Speaker 3.
When we saw it we just fell in love with it. The old wooden floors, the heavy oak doors, the delightful bay windows… and the garden… the garden’s going to be glorious in spring. We’ll have picnics, maybe even barbecues. Of course there’s lots of work to be done before it’s perfect, if it ever will be… But we seem to be settling in. Most of the local shopkeepers seem to know our names now and most people say hello in the street. It’s such a change from living in the city. And when the kids go back to school there’s a really good one at the other end of the village. I’ll probably have to walk them there though… the high street is very busy with cars and I don’t want to risk them crossing a busy road on their own.
Speaker 4.
Well, with the kids now, there’s just not enough room for all of us. We had to do it really. Obviously, I would have liked to have stayed here, but it’s for the best. It was just impractical really. And now we’ll have a lovely place. I’ve lived here since I left home. I never imagined then how much my life would change. Look out of the window, see that shop, that’s where I bought my first suit for my first day of work, and there’s the café where I met Karen, my wife. The idea of moving was hard at first, leaving all these memories behind. Still, it’s for the best and it’s not like we’re moving to the other side of the world. It’s only a ten minute drive and I can pop back whenever I like.
Speaker 5.
I realise now it wasn’t the right thing to do. We jumped in too quick; we just took one look at the cottage and the village and we fell in love. We didn’t really think about the practicalities. It all seemed so idyllic really. Country houses with beautiful gardens, cricket on the village green, the village fete, the duck pond… it seemed like we were going back in time. But once you’re used to all that, spent a year or so here… well… that’s when the realities kick in. There’s not really much to do. If we want to go to the cinema it’s a half hour drive to the multiplex on the ring road. If we want to eat in a good restaurant or see an exhibition we have to go into town, which with traffic can take over an hour and a half. And while the kids don’t mind it now, I dread to think what they’ll be like when they’re a bit older… there’s literally nothing for teenagers to do here. I guess we should have given it a bit more practical thought before we dived in and moved.
Part 2.
Interviewer: We have two guests in the studio today, Karl Mann, a university research and Laura Fern, a secondary school science teacher. Karl, I believe you spend part of your spare time introducing science to people who know little or nothing about the subject. Tell us a little about that.
Karl: Well, I believe that there are many people today who found science difficult when they were at school this has had two effects: it closes their minds to the wonders of science and it makes them feel stupid. My aim is to introduce them to a few relatively simple ideas.
Interviewer: Laura, as a teacher, would you agree with what Karl says about school science?
Laura: yes, to an extent, but I believe that in recent years, teachers have made science accessible to a wider range of students than was the case in the past. I think Karl is probably referring to older people, people who were at school in the sixties and seventies.
Interviewer: Is Laura right, Karl. Do the people you work with tend to be older?
Karl: yes, in general, but I meet a few people in their twenties who also seem to have a mental block as far as science in concerned.
Interviewer: Could you describe how teaching has changed in recent years, Laura?
Laura: Well, firstly, we’ve made the subject less theoretical. In practice, this means we do more laboratory experiments. And secondly, as far as possible, the topic we focus on relate to the real world. So, for example in Biology, we study the effect drugs can have on the body, and in Physics we compare ways of heating buildings efficiently.
Interviewer: Karl, how do you react when you hear that teachers are putting less emphasis on theory?
Karl: I’m all for it. The important thing is that we show students how science is relevant to their everyday lives. Above all, we want to avoid putting them off the subject. If they find practical science interesting, there is no reasons why they shouldn’t study more theoretical ideas later, for example by choosing to study science at university.
Interviewer: Have you noticed any connection between gender and scientific understanding? I mean traditionally, science was seen as a boys’ subject. is that still the case?
Karl: I think that’s still true, yes.
Laura: Sorry, but in my experience, there is generally almost no difference between boys and girls. In fact, in some of the classes I’ve taught recently, one or two girls have shown more understanding and insight than boys.
Karl: That’s very good news. We need more girls to take up careers in science.
Interviewer: How do you account for this shift, Laura?
Laura: I’m not sure. I’d say it’s partly due to the curriculum changes I mentioned earlier, but there may also be a social explanation. In the past, girls were not encouraged to consider careers in science. They are encouraged to regard themselves as the equals of boys in all areas- and I think that’s a major reason why more girls are studying science at university level.
Interviewer: Can we go back to your work, Karl? What exactly do you do with your groups? I mean, how do you awaken their interest in something they’ve already rejected?
Karl: The first thing I’d say is that my approach takes time, there’s no quick fix. But importantly, unlike in Laura’s situation, nobody forces my students to come to my classes.
Laura: So, they are motivated?
Karl: Exactly. That’s the best possible start. Secondly, there are no tests or exams for my students to fail- that removes some of the fear and makes them more open to new ideas. Then, my curriculum consists of practical case students which look at the scientific ideas behind families everyday issues. For example, my first case study is called “travelling to work”. This introduces different fuels used by various forms of transport and looks at the damaging effect the result pollution can have on the environment and on people’s health. Another topic is “Healthy eating, a subject close to everyone’s heart. We analyse different foods and look at the effects they have on our bodies. They find these topics interesting, but also I believe they develop confidence which will allow them to go on to study more theoretical topics.
Laura: This sounds very similar to the new school science curriculum I work with, but of course my students have to take tests and exams.

Part 4. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
In 2016, a hunter sitting in a high wooden stand near the German town of Bad Ems noticed something strange: a patch of grain with an unusual color. When archaeologists arrived and sent up a drone, they discovered a double track stretching across the field. This turned out to be the remnants of a 2,000-year-old Roman military camp. Further digging revealed wooden towers and sharpened stakes – defensive structures that Julius Caesar had written about, but which had never been physically found before.
Without the hunter’s observation and the drone’s overhead perspective, this ancient camp might have stayed hidden forever. In fact, the use of satellites and drones has revolutionized archaeological research. These tools allow experts to see tiny changes in the color and shape of the ground in places like jungles, shallow waters, and deserts, which are often invisible from the surface.
In hazardous or hard-to-reach areas like Afghanistan, spy satellites have been extremely useful. They have uncovered lost outposts along the Silk Road and traces of vanished empires, including large caravanserais (roadside inns for ancient travelers). Because these areas were too risky to visit in person, researchers used remote mapping to study and protect the country’s history from a distance.
Deserts have also provided many discoveries. Satellite photos found more than a hundred fortified settlements in the Sahara belonging to the Garamantes, an advanced civilization from ancient times. By looking at these images, researchers identified walled towns, villages, and complex irrigation systems that had been buried by sand for centuries.
Even old data can be useful. Satellite images from the Cold War era have helped archaeologists find ancient roads and water systems across the Middle East. Today, drones equipped with LiDAR technology are taking things even further. LiDAR works by firing laser beams at the ground and measuring how they bounce back. This allows researchers to create 3D maps of what lies beneath thick trees and plants. This ‘non-invasive’ method means archaeologists can explore the past without having to dig up or damage the ground.
28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of satellite or drone technology in archaeology?
A. Identification of ancient urban centers obscured by dense foliage
B. Facilitation of archaeological study in geopolitically hazardous regions
C. Precise dating of historical artifacts through laser pulse reflection
D. Detection of subtle terrain variations indicating buried structures
29. The word they in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. hazardous or hard-to-reach areas B. spy satellites
C. lost outposts D. vanished empires
30. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. The ancient camp was only discovered because a hunter and a drone were used at the same time.
B. If the hunter had not noticed the site and the drone had not been used, the camp would likely remain undiscovered.
C. Both the hunter’s sharp eyes and the drone’s aerial view were necessary to prevent the camp from being lost again.
D. The camp had been hidden for centuries until a hunter used a drone to specifically look for Roman ruins.
31. The word remnants in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by _______.
A. foundations B. decorations C. remains D. blueprints
32. The word hazardous in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
A. modern B. fertile C. secure D. peaceful
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Roman encampment in Germany was discovered primarily through ancient commentaries.
B. Access to remote sensing data is evenly distributed across all global archaeological teams.
C. LiDAR technology enables the mapping of terrain hidden beneath dense vegetation.
D. Researchers were able to explore the Afghan sites in person following satellite discoveries.
34. In which paragraph does the author mention using ‘old’ technology to make ‘new’ discoveries?
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
35. In which paragraph does the writer describe the identification of residential settlements and water management systems?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Part 5. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
The Vietnamese digital landscape in 2026 has been captivated by a poignant social media phenomenon: the ‘Decade Dialogue’ trend. [I] This movement involves users creating split-screen videos to simulate a conversation between their current selves and their personas from 2016. [II] By juxtaposing archived footage with contemporary responses, participants reflect on a decade of profound personal and societal metamorphosis. [III] The allure of this trend is multifaceted: it provides a nostalgic sanctuary, facilitates the public processing of maturation, and fosters a unique sense of collective memory among Gen Z and Millennials. [IV]
For many, the potency of these vignettes lies in their raw emotional candor. This atmosphere of reflection often transcends mere sentimentality, leading to profound introspections regarding the fleeting nature of time. Vague idealistic slogans such as ‘chasing one’s passion’ abound in the 2016 segments, yet the 2026 responses provide a sobering reality check. Many viewers find themselves moved by creators addressing past traumas or the loss of loved ones, effectively transforming the trend into a medium for communal digital catharsis. However, these videos frequently accentuate the ‘expectation gap’ – the stark disparity between youthful ambitions and the intricate realities of adulthood – thereby exposing the capricious trajectories of human life. As these dialogues proliferate, they risk trivializing complex life struggles into curated, aestheticized clips, yet they undeniably fortify the emotional rapport between creators and their digital communities.
The implications of this trend extend beyond ephemeral entertainment. As sociologists scrutinize the impact of digital archiving on self-identity, this trend constructs a narrative that reconciles disparate life stages. Stakeholders in the attention economy often overshadow the authentic, grassroots origins of the movement by co-opting it for ‘nostalgia marketing’ purposes. Regulators and platform moderators have begun to monitor these trends, warning that the sudden resurgence of old data can precipitate privacy infringements or ‘digital haunting’. Yet the velocity of cultural evolution often outpaces the development of technical safeguards, leaving users to navigate the labyrinth of their digital legacies with little institutional guidance.
What future, then, awaits the ‘Decade Dialogue’? History offers a cautionary script: just as previous social media fads eventually receded into obsolescence, so too will this trend undergo its own inevitable dilution. In the long run, only platforms that prioritize meaningful connection and rigorous data protection will remain viable. True growth is not merely the performative display of ‘evolution’ for an audience but having the fortitude to integrate past vulnerabilities while forging a future anchored in authentic self-awareness.
36. According to paragraph 1, the ‘Decade Dialogue’ trend is characterized by _______.
A. the total replacement of current identities with those from 2016
B. the use of contrasting media to examine a decade of significant change
C. a focus on societal transformation rather than individual growth
D. the rejection of nostalgia in favor of futuristic technological simulations
37. Where in the passage would the following sentence best fit?
It functions as a temporal bridge, allowing the seasoned adult to provide solace to the unpolished dreamer of the past.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
38. Which of the following best summarizes the main argument in paragraph 2?
A. The trend is a superficial attempt to gain followers by exploiting personal tragedies.
B. High-speed internet allows for a more effective ‘reality check’ than was possible in 2016.
C. While providing a space for emotional release, the trend also risks oversimplifying the genuine difficulties of life.
D. Adulthood is portrayed as a period of disappointment where all youthful dreams are inevitably destroyed.
39. The underlined phrase expectation gap in paragraph 2 most closely refers to _______.
A. the technical delay between recording and posting digital content
B. the conflict between initial career goals and modern economic shifts
C. the inconsistency between early life aspirations and the realities of adult experience
D. the lack of communication between different generations of social media users
40. The word overshadow in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. protect B. investigate C. illuminate D. outshine
41. According to paragraph 3, what is a primary difficulty in managing the risks of the ‘Decade Dialogue’?
A. The refusal of grassroots activists to cooperate with digital stakeholders
B. The inability of technical regulations to keep up with the speed of cultural shifts
C. The fact that psychologists have not yet studied the impact of digital identity
D. The excessive amount of institutional guidance provided by platform moderators
42. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Showing off one’s personal growth is the most effective way to build trust with a digital audience.
B. Future success depends on a company’s ability to perform ‘evolution’ better than its competitors.
C. Genuine maturity involves internalizing past experiences and building self-knowledge rather than just acting for others.
D. Integrating past mistakes is only possible if one has the courage to ignore their audience entirely.
43. Which risk associated with the trend’s viral nature is explicitly mentioned in the passage?
A. The physical exhaustion caused by recreating old photos
B. The reduction of complex personal histories into oversimplified digital content
C. The permanent loss of all data from the year 2016
D. The decline in the quality of modern cinematography on TikTok
44. What can be inferred from the passage about the long-term viability of social media platforms?
A. Their survival depends on their ability to host as many viral trends as possible.
B. They must prioritize user privacy and authentic connection to remain successful.
C. They will eventually become obsolete regardless of their data protection policies.
D. They will be replaced by institutions that provide better digital archives for sociologists.
45. Which of the following best summarizes the entire passage?
A. The text explores a viral trend of digital nostalgia, highlighting its emotional and therapeutic benefits while cautioning against its commercialization and potential for oversimplification.
B. The ‘Decade Dialogue’ is a revolutionary tool that has permanently solved the identity crises of Gen Z and Millennials in Vietnam.
C. The passage criticizes the ‘Decade Dialogue’ as a harmful fad that leads to ‘digital haunting’ and permanent privacy destruction for all users.
D. The author argues that 2016 was the most important year in Vietnamese digital history and that all future trends will be based on it.
