Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

More often than not, you can't just "order up a job" by responding to an online posting and have it delivered in one or two days as if you were buying whatever your heart desires on Amazon. Even as employers are hiring at a higher rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your way through the job search process. If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

Both the nonprofit and for-profit worlds need people with many of the same talents. The best volunteer jobs for you to consider are ones where the experience you acquire will be applicable in the "for-pay" position you want to attain. It's often the case that once you display your passion for the organization and its mission, and have demonstrated your abilities, you'll earn strong consideration when a paying position opens up that can benefit from your talents. Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, by highlighting your volunteer experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wasting your time away staying at home watching the grass grow.

There are a few strategies you might adopt when considering at which organization you'll want to volunteer. You'll probably want to make a priority of volunteering to do what you've already done, or want to do, in the for-profit sector. Alternatively, however, it might make sense to volunteer to do something where you can turn an area of professional weakness into a new strength. Remember, as well, that nonprofit organizations maintain strong relationships with their corporate sponsors, and you might look for a volunteer position that would enable you to be that nexus point between the two. And, especially if you are recently out of school, you should look for positions that let you learn about an occupation, a field of interest or an industry.

As you try to determine what you want to volunteer to do, and where you want to do it, make three lists: your marketable skills, the roles you seek and the kinds of charitable organizations you would want to support. For example, perhaps your skills cluster around accounting, marketing or event planning. Think about how these might come in handy for organizations that need financial help figuring out how to brand the organization to attract other volunteers or donors or run anything from charitable golf tournaments to gala dinners.

Đáp án A

Mục đích chính của tác giả trong đoạn văn là gì?

 

A. Nhằm giải thích tại sao công việc tình nguyện lại luôn có ích cho các tình nguyện viên. 

 B. Nhằm khuyên những người thất nghiệp nên làm việc tình nguyện. 

C. Để chứng minh rằng mọi người có thể có một công việc tốt thông qua làm việc thiện.

D. Để mô tả trình tự để có 1 công việc có lợi nhuận. 

=> Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn đầu: 

"Even as employers are hiring at a higher rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your way through the job search process. If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonprofit organization." 

(Ngay cả khi các nhà tuyển dụng đang tuyển dụng với tỷ lệ cao hơn so với họ trong vài năm qua, thường có thể mất vài tháng để thực hiện theo cách của bạn thông qua quá trình tìm kiếm việc làm. Nếu bạn là một sinh viên mới tốt nghiệp chưa nhận được lời mời làm việc, nếu gần đây bạn chuyển đến một địa điểm mới với vợ/chồng của bạn hoặc nếu bạn thất nghiệp vì bất kỳ lý do nào khác, bạn có thể tìm thấy thành công trong việc tìm kiếm việc làm của mình bằng cách dành thời gian tình nguyện tại tổ chức phi lợi nhuận.)

=> Sau đó, đoạn 2 tác giả nêu ra những giải thích về các lợi ích mà những tình nguyện viên đã nhận được sau khi đi làm các vị trí cho các tổ chức phi lợi nhuận. Tiếp đến đoạn 3 là một vài chiến thuật tác giả gợi ý cho các tình nguyện viên, kèm theo đó tiếp tục là những lợi ích mà họ nhận được.

=> Tóm lại, qua toàn bài ta thấy mục đích chính của tác giả là giải thích được các lợi ích mà một tình nguyện viên nhận được khi làm các công việc thiện nguyện, để từ đó ngầm khuyên bảo cho những ai cần và có nhu cầu. Nó không chỉ là giúp họ có một công việc tốt, mà còn cho họ cả những kỹ năng và kinh nghiệm quý giá cho bản thân mình.

=> Do đó, đáp án C chưa thực sự đầy đủ khi chỉ giới hạn lợi ích mà tình nguyện viên nhận được chỉ là "có một công việc tốt".

Câu 2:

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each the numbered blanks.

Despite these drawbacks, (25) ______the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam, But these are only temporary solutions. Complementary long-term solutions such as increasing labor productivity must also be examined.

As Vietnam has specialized in manufacturing with its competitive advantage of a cheap labor force in the global supply chain, (26)______higher education should be reoriented to focus more on vocational training rather than university degrees. The Vietnamese government has already taken action by simplifying the entrance exam to university. Previously, Vietnam's national entrance exam was very difficult and only a limited number of the most talented citizens managed to enter universities.

However, as living standards in Vietnam improve and more families can afford to send their children to university, universities have become more commercialized and entering university is no longer a rare achievement. The low quality of Vietnamese universities also means the majority of graduating students are unable to find an appropriate job. By simplifying entrance exams to deemphasize university degrees, the government has encouraged students to opt for vocational training. (27)_______, 2016 saw a remarkable decrease in the number of students applying (28) ______university.

Another supplementary policy is to have productivity-based rather than seniority-based salaries, (29) _______ are common in Asian countries. This would address public concern about aged seniors doing less work for more pay than younger employees. Companies and government agencies would employ and appreciate the young while benefiting from the experience of the old. But this issue feeds the Communist regime's dilemma between adhering to Communist principles and integrating into the capitalist culture of productivity for profits.
