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 36 to 42. 

     An education pioneer born into rural poverty in Nepal has opened 30 schools in a bid to boost prospects for his country's children. 

     The World Bank ranks Nepal as the globe's 31st poorest country, with almost 10 million people living on daily incomes between £1.48 and £2.50. Many rural villages remain unreached by government schooling and adult literacy stood at just 60 percent in 2011. 

     Surya Karki and his charity United World Schools Nepal (UWS) are tackling high illiteracy and poverty rates by funding and improving education. 

     The first school opened in 2015. Since then 92 percent of children have completed primary education, which finishes at age eight, and continued into secondary education with UWS schools, in comparison to 39 percent of students continuing education who attended government schools. 

     Mr Karki was born into poverty in rural Nepal. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: "School is the only solution to the poverty cycle that we live in. I was raised by a single mother in a male-dominated society.  The school that I went to was approximately two hours’ walk away. My house was on top of a hill and my mother had to drag me across rivers. We used to walk 10 miles a day. The schooling was really bad." 

     Karki's mother was a firm believer in education, and at age eight Karki secured a scholarship to study in the capital, Kathmandu. From there he won scholarships and completed Master's degrees in China and the United States. He returned to Nepal in 2015 and decided to stay and develop the education system. Karki said: "Inequalities in a country can only be decreased if there is access to knowledge." 

     The devastating earthquake in 2015 damaged 9,300 schools, displacing hundreds of thousands of families and pushing 700,000 people into poverty. As of January 2018, only 2,891 schools had been rebuilt. Karki said: “We came at a crucial time, where we could redo or undo what had been done badly. Education was really bad in terms of infrastructure, quality of teachers and training. It was an opportunity for us to really make things better." 

     UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 10 am and 3:30 pm, and have an 86 percent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double the attendance rate for government schools in the vicinity. Sexual health classes are taught to the children in the later years.

Điều nào sau đây có thể được suy ra từ đoạn văn? 

  1. Karki và tổ chức của ông nói chung đã làm tốt hơn các trường học của chính phủ Nepal trong việc truyền cảm hứng cho trẻ em tiếp tục đi học. 
  2. Những trở ngại mà các trường học ở Nepal gặp phải ngày càng nghiêm trọng do thời tiết khắc nghiệt và trận động đất thảm khốc năm 2015. 
  3. Trường học cung cấp cho Karki có chất lượng cao hơn so với học sinh hiện tại ở Nepal.
  4. Trẻ em trong độ tuổi đi học ở Nepal chán học các trường chính phủ và chọn học các trường UWS ở các cấp học cao hơn. 

Thông tin: UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 10 am and 3:30 pm, and have an 86 percent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double the attendance rate for government schools in the vicinity. 

Tạm dịch: UWS Nepal cho đến nay đã xây dựng được 30 trường học và 7 trường học nữa đang được xây dựng. Các trường học hoạt động trong khoảng thời gian từ 10 giờ sáng đến 3 giờ 30 chiều, và có tỷ lệ đi học trung bình là 86%, mà Karki nói là gần gấp đôi tỷ lệ đi học của các trường công lập (trường do chính phủ xây dựng) ở vùng lân cận.

Câu 1:

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35. 

Living on my own

     When I tell people about the idea of moving out, many people's reaction is like, “what do your parents say?” because they assume parents would not like their children to leave them. I don't know if my parents like it, but they always support and respect my decisions. They think it is good for me to try and live on my own and then I would know it is the best to stay with my family. The most important reason for independent living is to save the travelling time to work. It used to take me one hour fifteen minutes to travel to work from my previous living place. 

     From my new apartment, it just takes me thirty minutes, so I saved forty-five minutes' travelling time. I don't have to get up early, and I save two thirds of my traveling cost. In addition, I gain my personal space and freedom by independent living. I make my own decisions; I don't have to say whether I would go home for dinner; I can invite my friends to come and stay late. 

     Money is the main issue in living on your own. You have to be responsible for all the expenses. Therefore, you've got to be well prepared and save up for your bills. Although I find my transportation time much shorter, the saved time is spent on other things, such as cooking and other household chores. Preparing and cooking the food do occupy a significant portion of my time, therefore I always try to make simple meals. Moreover, I have to regularly tidy up my apartment and wash my clothes, so it doesn't really save much of my time after all. 

     Now I'm getting used to my new life, and I'm enjoying it. I feel that moving out makes it easier for me to strike a balance between my work, my social life, my study and my family. It may be troublesome, but it may be worth it.
