S I saw a job advert for hotel staff and I was wondering if I could discuss it with you.

T Certainly. What would you like to know?

S Well, first of all, I’d like to know what the job involves.

T It involves cleaning guests’ bedrooms in the morning, and after that, working in the restaurant.

Oh, I see. Could you tell me what I would be doing in the restaurant?

T Mostly serving customers. The restaurant gets very busy at lunch time.

Well, I’m hard-working so that won’t be a problem. I’m also very polite and I enjoy working with the public.

T That’s good. You’ll need to be very patient and cheerful too.

I believe I possess those qualities too. The job sounds ideal for me. Something else I’d like to ask about is the hours. I’d be interested to know when I would start and finish work exactly. T The hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.

S So I would get Sunday and Monday off?

T Yes, that’s right.

That’s good. Moving on to the question of pay, may I ask what the salary is?

Yes, it’s £7 an hour. We may occasionally ask you work overtime. Would you be willing to do that?

Yes, I think so. Finally, could I ask you about accommodation? I’d like to know if accommodation is included.

No, I’m afraid it isn’t. You’ll have to find your own accommodation. Is that a problem?

No, it isn’t. I’m staying at a friend’s flat and she says I can stay as long as I like.

Well, it sounds like you are ideally suited to the job, so I’d like to offer it to you.

Thank you. I’d be delighted to accept it.

If I saw someone in danger, I would call for help or try to assist them if it was safe to do so.

If I met my idol, I would probably be starstruck and speechless at first, but then I would try to express my admiration and gratitude for their work.

If I suddenly became rich, I would first make sure to secure my financial future by investing wisely and seeking professional advice. Then, I would use some of the money to fulfill my dreams and goals, as well as help my family and contribute to charitable causes.

          It's often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because they‘re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it‘s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you're older.

Over the years, I‘ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying. so there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes. It was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn‘t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that. although some pans have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance. when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you‘re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you'll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can't, say, build a chair instantly, you don‘t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I‘d played for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I‘d had all those years before. But soon. complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

It is implied in the last paragraph that when you learn later in life, you ________.

A. should expect to take longer to learn than when you were younger

B. find that you can recall a lot of things you learnt when younger 

C. can sometimes understand more than when you were younger 

D. are not able to concentrate as well as when you were younger

Read the following passage adapted and choose the correct answer (corresponding to A, B, C, or D) to each of the questions that follow.

 It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.

Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

The phrase “For starters” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “______”.

A. For beginners 

B. At the starting point

C. At the beginning

D. First and foremost

Đáp án D

“For starters” = “First and foremost”: đầu tiên và hàng đầu

For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round.

Đầu tiên, tôi đã trả tiền, vì vậy không có lý do gì để đi trễ - Tôi là người sẽ cau mày và gõ gõ ngón tay nếu gia sư đến muộn, không phải là ngược lại.
