* Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question:
Without doubt, the most important part of any job application is the resumé. Along with a cover letter, it is the first impression a prospective employee makes on a potential employer. Therefore, it is important that a resumé provide as much relevant information as possible while remaining brief. A resumé should not be more than one full side of a sheet of paper. All too many candidates make the mistake of submitting several pages which, more often than not, don’t even get a second glance.
A resumé must be neatly printed, with at least three-quarter inch margins on all four sides. Use underlining, capital letters and asterisks to highlight important information. A resumé should be single-spaced with an extra line between blocks of information.
Begin a resumé with your name, address, and contact information (e.g.telephone or fax numbers, email address). Do not include age, marital status, or other personal facts. Next, many resumé state the position sought or career goal. Then comes perhaps the most important part: a chronological outline of work experience-starting with the most recent job and working backwards- including for each position a brief description of relevant duties and skills used or acquired. Finally, include an outline of your educational background from the most recent backwards. Make sure to list dates of completion, full name and locations (if not common knowledge) of schools, and diplomas or certificates awarded.
28. Which of the following should NOT be on your resumé? 
	A. Your name, telephone and fax numbers.	
	B. The year you received your bachelor’s degree.
C. Your nationality and the fact that you are single.
D. A desciption of tasks performed in your last job. 
29. What is true about a resumé? 
A. Resumé should be brief but very informative.
B. A resumé should have three-quarter inch margins on both sides.
C. Important information should be italicized
D. An outline of educational background should end with the most recent information.

C. Educational background in the order of time.D. A list of dates of completion.

* Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question:
	Vietnam's education system can be divided into 5 categories: pre-primary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education. 
Public kindergartens usually admit children from the age of 18 months to 5 years. Children at 4 or 5 years of age are sometimes taught the alphabet and basic math. This level of education is only popular in major cities. 
Children normally start their primary education at the age of six. Education at this level lasts 5 years and it is compulsory for all children. This compulsory education may be one of the reasons why, despite remaining a less developed country, the literate proportion of the country’s population is very high, over 90% on average. 
Middle schools teach students from grade 6 to 9. This educational level is generalized throughout most of the country - except in very remote provinces, which expect to popularize and standardize middle education fully within the next few years. Intermediate is a non-compulsory schooling form in Vietnam. 
Secondary education, which consists of grades 10, 11 and 12, is standardized in all major urban regions, but is not in rural provinces. After 3 high school-terms, all students must attend a graduation test. This test often consists of 6 subjects differently selected each year but has to contain the 3 compulsory ones: Foreign Language (mostly English), Mathematics and Literature. The Vietnamese government intends to merge this test with the university entrance test in 2009. 
28. How many categories can Vietnam's education system be divided?
A. three	B. four	C. five	D. fifth
29. In Vietnam children can be taught basic math when they are ____. 
a. 18 months old	b. 4 months old	c. 5 months old	d. 4 or 5 years old 
30. _____the literate proportion of the country’s population is very high. 
	a. Thank to the compulsory primary education.
	b. Thank to a less developed country
	c. Thank to children’s starting school at the age of six
	d. Thank to children’s lasting 5 years in primary school
31. Secondary education is standardized in _____. 
	a. all rural provinces	b. all over the country except in urban regions 
	c. not all over the country	d. all the countryside
32. The graduation test for all high school students often consists of 6 subjects which are ___
	a. similar every other year	b. the same every year.
