CRITICISM
It can take a long time to become successful in your chosen field, no matter how talented you are. One thing you have to be aware of is that you will face criticism along the way. The world is full of people who would rather say something negative than positive. If you’ve made up your (15) ______ to achieve a certain goal, such as writing a novel, don’t let the negative criticism of others (16) ______ you from reaching your target, and let the constructive criticism have a positive (17) ______ on your work.

Điền ô 19
A. which
B. whom
C. that
D. whose
Chọn C
Kiến thức: Đại từ quan hệ
Giải thích:
Trong mệnh đề quan hệ:
- which: thay thế cho một danh từ chỉ vật; đóng vai trò chủ ngữ/ tân ngữ
- whom: thay thế cho một danh từ chỉ người; đóng vai trò tân ngữ
- that: thay thế cho “who”, “whom”, “which” hoặc lược bỏ khi nó đóng vai trò làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định
- whose + danh từ: thay cho danh từ/ tính từ sở hữu
Sau danh từ chỉ người “novelists” (tiểu thuyết gia) cần đại từ quan hệ chỉ người là “who”, nhưng đây là mệnh đề quan hệ xác định nên có thể thay “who” bằng “that”
There are many famous novelists (19) that made a complete mess of their first novel – or who didn’t, but had to keep on approaching hundreds of publishers before they could get it published.
Tạm dịch: Có rất nhiều tiểu thuyết gia nổi tiếng người mà từng khiến cuốn tiểu thuyết đầu tay của họ trở thành một mớ hỗn độn- hoặc có những người thì không, nhưng họ vẫn phải tiếp tục tiếp cận tới hàng trăm nhà xuất bản trước khi họ có thể làm cho nó được xuất bản.
Dịch bài đọc:
Có thể mất một thời gian dài để thành công trên con đường bạn đã chọn, dù bạn có xuất chúng như thế nào đi chăng nữa. Một điều mà bạn phải biết đó là bạn sẽ phải đương đầu với nhiều sự chỉ trích trong suốt cuộc hành trình của mình. Thế giới đầy rẫy những người độc mồm thay vì nói ra những lời hay ý đẹp. Nếu bạn đã quyết định đạt được một mục tiêu nhất định, thí dụ như viết 1 cuốn tiểu thuyết, thì đừng để những lời chỉ trích tiêu cực của người khác ngăn cản bạn đạt được mục tiêu của bản thân, và hãy để những lời chỉ trích mang tích xây dựng có tác động tích cực đến công việc của bạn. Nếu ai đó nói bạn hoàn toàn thiếu tài năng,
hãy mặc kệ họ. Đó chính là sự chỉ trích tiêu cực. Tuy nhiên, nếu ai đó khuyên bạn nên xem xét lại công việc và đưa cho bạn lí do chính đáng cho việc đó, thì bạn hãy nên cân nhắc cẩn thận đề xuất đó. Có rất nhiều ngôi sao màn bạc từng thất nghiệp. Có rất nhiều tiểu thuyết gia nổi tiếng người mà từng khiến cuốn tiểu thuyết đầu tay của họ trở thành một mớ hỗn độn- hoặc có những người thì không, nhưng họ vẫn phải tiếp tục tiếp cận tới hàng trăm nhà xuất bản trước khi họ có thể làm cho nó được xuất bản. Thành công không dựa vào sự may mắn, ở một mức độ nào đó. Nhưng mọi thứ có nhiều khả năng sẽ trở nên tốt đẹp hơn nếu bạn kiên nhẫn và giữ cho mình một thái độ tích cực

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 questions from 31 to 35.
Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
