READING PASSAGE 2: Questions 66 - 71

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.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed by everything you’re hearing about COVID-19 right now,
and it is also understandable if your children are feeling anxious too. But having an open,
supportive discussion with your children can help them understand, cope and even make a
positive contribution for others.

Start by inviting your child to talk about the issue. Find out how much they already know
and follow their lead. If they are particularly young and have not already heard about the
pandemic, you may not need to raise the issue – but do take the chance to remind them about good
hygiene practices without presenting new fears. Make sure you are in a safe environment and
allow your child to talk freely. Most importantly, never try to minimize or avoid their concerns.
Be sure to acknowledge their feelings and assure them that it’s natural to feel scared about these
things. Demonstrate that you are listening by giving them your full attention, and make sure they
understand that they can talk to you and their teachers whenever they like.

Another thing to remember is to always be honest, since children always have a right to
receive truthful information about the pandemic. That being said, adults also have a responsibility
to keep them safe from distress. Use age-appropriate language, watch their reactions, and be

Trang 6/12
sensitive to their level of anxiety. If you can’t answer their questions, don’t guess. Use it as an
opportunity to explore the answers together. Websites of international organizations like UNICEF
and the World Health Organization are great sources of information. Explain that some
information online isn’t accurate, and that it’s best to trust the experts.

Obviously, it is crucial that parents focus on showing children how to protect themselves
and their friends. You can show children how to wash their hands and how to cover their mouth
and nose when they cough or sneeze. It would also be a good idea to explain to them that it’s best
not to get too close to people who have those symptoms, and ask them to tell you if they start to
feel like they have a fever, cough or are having difficulty breathing.

Finally, always offer children reassurance. When we’re seeing lots of troubling images on
TV or online, it can sometimes feel like the crisis is all around us. You can help your children
handle stress more effectively by making opportunities for them to play and relax, when possible.
Keep regular routines and schedules as much as possible, especially before they go to sleep, or
help create new ones in a new environment. If you are experiencing an outbreak in your area,
remind your children that they are not likely to catch the disease, that most people who do have
coronavirus don’t get very sick, and that lots of adults are working hard to keep your family safe.

READING PASSAGE 3: Questions 72 - 85

Is Graffiti Art or Crime?
A

The term graffiti derives from the Italian graffito meaning “scratching” and can be defined as
uninvited marking or writing scratched or applied to objects, built structures and natural features. It
is not a new phenomenon: examples can be found on ancient structures around the world, in some
cases predating the Greeks and Romans. In such circumstances it has acquired invaluable historical
and archaeological significance, providing a social history of life and events at that time. Graffiti is
now a problem that has become pervasive, as a result of the availability of cheap and quick means of
mark-making.

It is usually considered a priority to remove graffiti as quickly as possible after it appears. This is for
several reasons. The first is to prevent ‘copy-cat’ emulation which can occur rapidly once a clean
surface is defaced. It may also be of a racist or otherwise offensive nature and many companies and
councils have a policy of removing this type of graffiti within an hour or two of it being reported.
Also, as paints, glues and inks dry out over time they can become increasingly difficult to remove
and are usually best dealt with as soon as possible after the incident. Graffiti can also lead to move

Trang 8/12
serious forms of vandalism and, ultimately, the deterioration of an area, contributing to social
decline.

Although graffiti may be regarded as an eyesore, any proposal to remove it from sensitive historic
surfaces should be carefully considered: techniques designed for more robust or utilitarian surfaces
may result in considerable damage. In the event of graffiti incidents, it is important that the owners
of buildings or other structures and their consultants are aware of the approach they should take in
dealing with the problem. The police should be informed as there may be other related attacks
occurring locally. An incidence pattern can identify possible culprits, as can stylised signatures or
nicknames, known as ‘tags’, which may already be familiar to local police. Photographs are useful to
record graffiti incidents and may assist the police in bringing a prosecution. Such images are also
required for insurance claims and can be helpful in cleaning operatives, allowing them to see the
problem area before arriving on site.

There are a variety of methods that are used to remove graffiti. Broadly these divide between
chemical and mechanical systems. Chemical preparations are based on dissolving the media; these
solvents can range from water to potentially hazardous chemical ‘cocktails’. Mechanical systems
such as wire-brushing and grit-blasting attempt to abrade or chip the media from the surface. Care
should be taken to comply with health and safety legislation with regard to the protection of both
passers-by and any person carrying out the cleaning. Operatives should follow product guidelines in
terms of application and removal, and wear the appropriate protective equipment. Measures must be
taken to ensure that run-off, aerial mists, drips and splashes do not threaten unprotected members of
the public. When examining a graffiti incident it is important to assess the ability of the substrate to
withstand the prescribed treatment. If there is any doubt regarding this, then small trial areas should
be undertaken to assess the impact of more extensive treatment.

A variety of preventive strategies can be adopted to combat a recurring problem of graffiti at a given
site. As no two sites are the same, no one set of protection measures will be suitable for all situations.
Each site must be looked at individually. Surveillance systems such as closed-circuit television may
also help. In cities and towns around the country, prominently placed cameras have been shown to
reduce anti-social behavior of all types including graffiti. Security patrols will also act as a deterrent
to prevent recurring attacks. However, the cost of this may be too high for most situations. A

Trang 9/12
physical barriers such as a wall, railings, doors or gates can be introduced to discourage unauthorized
access to a vulnerable site. However, consideration has to be given to the impact measures have on
the structure being protected. In the worst cases, they can be almost as damaging to the quality of the
environment as the graffiti they prevent. In others, they might simply provide a new surface for
graffiti.

One of the most significant problems associated with graffiti removal is the need to remove it from
surfaces that are repeatedly attacked. Under these circumstances, the repeated removal of graffiti
using even the most gentle methods will ultimately cause damage to the surface material. There may
be situations where the preventive strategies mentioned above do not work or are not a viable
proposition at a given site. Anti-graffiti coatings are usually applied by brush or spray leaving a thin
veneer that essentially serves to isolate the graffiti from the surface.

Removal of graffiti from a surface that has been treated in this way is much easier, usually using
low-pressure water which reduces the possibility of damage. Depending on the type of barrier
selected it may be necessary to reapply the coating after each graffiti removal exercise.
