Exercise 2: Read the passage below and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the

A group of researchers and experts in America and Australia listed 12 countries affecting
considerably to the ocean by the year 2018 and the Southeast Asia area has up to 5
Page 4
representatives: Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. China ranks
first with nearly 8.8 million plastic waste, and Vietnam ranks fourth with 1.8 million. It is
really alarming that developing countries are the main causes of environmental pollution in
10 recent years. A terrible fact that probably occur by 2050 is that the ocean contains much
more waste than sea creatures if the plastic waste situation is still continuing, according to
the United Nations report. In addition, the unexpected fact is that it takes only 5 seconds to
produce a plastic bag, 1 second to throw, but up to 500 or even 1000 years to decompose.
A reason for water pollution in Vietnam is that many companies and enterprises cannot
manage rubbish and then pour waste into rivers and streams, which the government cannot
control at all. Meanwhile, rivers and streams are two main sources of water for use.
As a result, in many places in Vietnam, especially remote areas, people get diseases like
cholera, diarrhea or skin diseases by having to use water from rivers and streams. The basic
reason is that many households are not supplied with piped water and hygienic latrines, so
they do not have water to use or do not have a water filtration system. Also, many people
take the water from hand-dug wells that are not surely clean. In another hand, many marine
creatures died from water pollution due to its heavy chemicals.
It is constantly urgent for the government and businesses to take responsibility for water
pollution. The government should have new strict laws to prevent companies from pouring
wastes into the water and manage better-piped water systems in many areas.
(Adapted from https://www.vietnam-tour.biz/)
6. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?

A. Five out of twelve countries affecting significantly to the ocean by the year 2018 are in
the Southeast Asia area.
B. It takes much more time to decompose a plastic bag than to produce it.
C. Vietnam ranks fourth in the list of countries in the Southeast Asia area affecting
considerably the ocean.
D. In the last decade, the main causes of environmental problems are developing countries.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s was the only- surviving son of Leopold and Maria Pertl
Mozart. Leopold was a successful composer, violinist, and assistant concertmaster at the
Salzburg court. Wolfgang's mother, a constantly ill housewife, was born to a middle class
family of local community leaders. His only sister was Maria Anna. With their father’s
Page 7
encouragement and guidance, they both were introduced to music at an early age. Leopold
started Anna on keyboard when she was seven, as three-year-old Wolfgang looked on.
Mimicking her playing, Wolfgang quickly began to show a strong understanding of chords,
tonality, and tempo. Soon, he too was being tutored by his father. Leopold was a devoted
and task-oriented teacher to both his children. He made the lessons fun, but also insisted on a
strong work ethic and perfection. Fortunately, both children excelled well in these areas.
Recognising their special talents, Leopold devoted much of his time to their education in
music as well as other subjects. Wolfgang soon showed signs of excelling beyond his
father's teachings with an early composition at age five and demonstrating outstanding
ability on harpsichord and the violin. He would soon go on to play the piano, organ and
viola.

There are thousands of other inventions that have contributed to the lives of humans across
millennia. Many of these inventions have even benefited animals and other living species.
The reason behind every invention is the need for it.
The main quality of an inventor is his or her ability to see what others are not able to see.
While most of us see a blue sky, some are able to see the patterns in the sky which leads
them to investigate more. Another important quality of an inventor is his or her desire to
find a solution to a problem. They keep abreast with the difficulties faced by human beings
and focus on resolving them.
Many of the inventors we have mentioned above were not recognized by their teachers nor
their peers. They often had eccentric personalities and maintained unusual routines. For
example, Albert Einstein was not comfortable with the teaching methods in his school and
preferred to teach himself complex subjects such as mathematics and algebra. He dressed
eccentrically and kept an unusual hairstyle and was often ridiculed for his views. However,
his uniqueness is what led him to change the way we approach the philosophy of science and
brought about the groundbreaking theory of relativity.
Page 17
Inventions are any new discoveries that change the way we view our world. They can occur
in art, sciences, tools, machines, society, and even thoughts. Any process, composition,
device, or method that expands the limits of human knowledge, creativity, experience, or
capability is called an invention and can be brought about by any human who dares to think
out of the box.
