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 following questions from 31 to 36.
In today's globalized world, the English language has evolved beyond its traditional
boundaries, giving rise to a diverse array of "World Englishes."These regional varieties of
English, shaped by the unique cultural, historical, and social influences of different parts of
the world, have become an integral part of the linguistic landscape.
One of the most notable examples of World Englishes is Indian English, which has
developed its own distinct grammatical structures, vocabulary, and pronunciation patterns.
Influenced by the languages and dialects of the Indian subcontinent, Indian English has
become a vibrant and dynamic form of the language, used not only in formal settings but also
in everyday communication.
The rise of World Englishes has challenged the traditional notion of a single,
"standard" form of the language, prompting a shift in our understanding of linguistic
diversity. Rather than viewing these regional variations as "inferior" or "incorrect," linguists
and language experts are increasingly recognizing the value of these diverse forms of
English.
By embracing the richness of World Englishes, we can gain a deeper appreciation for
the cultural and linguistic picture that makes up the global English-speaking community. This
recognition of linguistic diversity not only fosters greater intercultural understanding but also
celebrates the inherent adaptability and dynamism of the English language itself.
Question 31. What does the word Englishes mean in paragraph 1?
A. speakers of English B. regional varieties of English
C. English people D. English-speaking countries
Question 32. What characteristic of Indian English is mentioned in the essay?
A. Unique grammatical structures B. Formal vocabulary

B. It is a sign of the declining quality of the English language.
C. It is a temporary phenomenon that will eventually be resolved.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Memory is a critical part of any kind of studying, and effective memorization is
strongly correlated with success in foreign language classes. Although people often think of
memory as a fixed quality, it’s actually a skill that you can improve through deliberate
practice.
There's a considerable amount of research on how memory works, as well as a wide
range of strategies for improving memory. For example, scientific experiments show that our
short-term memory can only hold about 7 pieces of new information at once. Therefore, if
you’re working on a long list of new vocabulary words, start by breaking it up into smaller
chunks, and study one shorter section at a time. Additionally, research also suggests that
actively trying to recall information is more effective than simply reviewing information;
essentially, self-testing will help you more than re-reading your notes will.
The best way to start working on your memory is to build on the techniques that you
already know work for you. For example, if associating a word with a picture is effective for
you, then you should add images into your vocabulary practice. However, if you’re not sure
where to start, here's a '‘beginner’’ formula for memorizing a new word: use the word at least
five times the first day that you learn it, then multiple times over the week, at least once every
day. In addition to figuring out which memorization techniques work best for you, it’s also
important to actively protect your memory. For example, experiencing a strong emotion has
been shown to sharply decrease the ability to memorize unrelated content, so if you’ve just
watched a horror movie, it’s probably not a great time for vocabulary review!

B. A long list of new vocabulary is easier to remember if you break it into small chunks.

Tourists and locals in the capital city of Hanoi will have an opportunity to enjoy a feast of
dazzling light and traditional music and a taste of Vietnamese educational history while
engaging in the night tour to the Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature) in the
heart of Hanoi. The service, which was officially launched on October 29, is the fourth tour
of this kind in Hanoi, following those the Hoa Lo Prison Relic, the Thang Long Imperial
Citadel, and the Vietnam Museum of Literature.
The Temple of Literature's night tour offers tourists an entirely different experience as
compared to the daytime visit since it uses technology and lighting, rather than the theatrical
format applied to other tours. Visitors are taken to different areas in the Temple of Literate,
from the gate to various key places inside the complex. A centerpiece of the tour is in the
Thai Hoc Hall, which is transformed on the theme of "Tinh hoa dao hoc" (Essence of
Education) by the sparkling lighting system and 3D-mapping technology, telling the stories
about the history of the first Vietnamese imperial university. Meanwhile, Khue Van Cac
(Constellation of Literature Pavilion) serves as a venue for stellar traditional music
performances; Vuon Bia Tien Si (Laureate Stelae Garden) gives visitors a better insight into
the list of scholar figures with support of the mapping presentation; and Dai Thanh spotlights
images of examination hall through the virtual reality technology.
