Bài mẫu:
In my opinion, it’s important for high school students to have time-management skill, and it’s by far the most necessary one. Moving from secondary to high school means there are heavier loads of schoolwork to do. We are really busy with a lot of homework and many extracurricular activities, so it’s difficult for us to find any time for ourselves and family. Especially, when mid-term or final tests are approaching, students like us are always under pressure. We can only feel relieved when we know how to use time wisely.
If we don’t know how to manage our limited time, we may get stressed and depressed. We are stressed because we have to spend most of our time doing homework, and don’t know whether we can finish it or not. We are depressed as we have no free time to relax, and have fun with friends and family members. Therefore, time management skill is pivotal to me.Theo quan điểm của tôi, kĩ năng quản lý thời gian rất quan trọng đối với học sinh cấp 3, và nó là kĩ năng cần thiết nhất. Chuyển từ cấp hai lên cấp ba đồng nghĩa với việc khối lượng bài tập nhiều hơn. Chúng tôi thực sự bận rộn với rất nhiều bài tập về nhà và các hoạt động ngoại khóa, vì vậy chúng tôi rất khó tìm được thời gian cho bản thân và gia đình. Đặc biệt là khỉ kì kiểm tra giữa kì hay cuối kỳ tới, những học sinh như chúng tôi luôn bị áp lực. Chúng tôi chỉ có thể thấy an tâm khi nào mình biết cách sử dụng thời gian thông minh.
Nếu chúng tôi không biết cách điều chỉnh thời gian hạn hẹp mình có, thì chúng tôi có thể bị căng thẳng và chán nản. Chúng tôi bị căng thẳng vì phải dành phần lớn thời gian để làm bài tập về nhà, và không biết liệu chúng tôi có thể hoàn thành nó hay không. Chúng tôi chán nản vì không có thời gian rảnh để thư giãn, và vui vẻ với bạn bè và các thành viên trong gia đình. Do đó, kỹ năng quản lý thời gian là quan trọng nhất đối với tôi.CÂU HỎI CÙNG BÀI THI

Read the passage and choose the best option to answer to each of the following questions.
One of your most important goals as a parent is to raise children who become independent and self-reliant people. However, some well-intended, but misguided parents have raised contingent children rather than responsible ones. Contingent children are dependent on others for how they feel about themselves. Those children are raised by parents who act on their own needs for power and use control to ensure that they remain the dominant forces in their children’s lives. Independent children differ from contingent children in several ways. If your children are independent, you have provided them with the belief that they are competent and capable of taking care of themselves. You offered them the guidance to find activities that are meaningful and satisfying. You gave your children the freedom to experience life fully and learn its many important lessons. The most important thing about raising independent children is that you understand the essential responsibilities that you and they need to accept. Your responsibilities revolve primarily around providing your children with the opportunity, means, and support to pursue their goals. The psychological means include providing love, guidance, and encouragement in their efforts. The practical means include ensuring that your children have the materials needed, proper instruction, and transportation, as well as other logistical concerns. Your child’s responsibilities Involve doing what is necessary to maximize the opportunities that you give them. These responsibilities include giving their best effort, being responsible and disciplined, staying committed, and giving an achievement opportunity a realistic try, as well as, completing all tasks and exercises, getting the most out of instruction, being cooperative, and expressing appreciation and gratitude for others’ efforts.

1. What is the passage mainly about?
Read the passage and anwer the questions below.
If you are in public or with other friends or family in Japan, your Japanese partner will most likely not show an open display of affection such as hand holding, touching, kissing or verbal expressions of love. It doesn’t mean that the person does not love or care about you. It is a point of respect that people do not show physical expressions of love in the general public or if older people are nearby. At the same time, when you both return to a private residence or location, you might see a different side of that person. That person may be very “loving” in his or her words and actions. This can also be true if you and your significant other travel or live in another country outside of Japan. My friends and I who have dated or married Japanese nationals have found that our Japanese partners (both male and female) tend to show more open affection in locations outside of Japan. However, once they arrive at the airport in Japan, they change to be more reserved and show all the Japanese cultural mannerisms they learned growing up. For many cultures, open displays of affection are considered standard daily practices. However, if you are dating a Japanese person, you will need to understand the difference between public and private locations. Public affection is a common concern among internationals dating Japanese individuals. They don’t understand how Japanese can be so affectionate in private and indifferent when with others. Which can lead to misunderstandings, arguments or even the end of a relationship.
