    1) Read the passage about how Mai chose her career, and do the tasks that follow.

    I had always dreamt of working in a bank because I thought I would earn a lot of money. I was told that I had to try hard to make my dream come true.
    I burnt the midnight oil and finally had some success. First, I was accepted to a prestigious secondary school in Ha Noi. There, I gained not only knowledge but also a number of skills including team work, cooperation, and interpersonal skills. I also became much more organised, thanks to the mountains of work which had to be completed to meet the strict deadlines. I felt I was lucky to have such supportive peers and excellent teachers. My next achievement was when I gained admission to the Banking Academy of Viet Nam.

    After three years, I graduated and was awarded a degree in banking. But I realised that I wasn't suited to a nine-to-five job in a bank, even though I was still interested in the subject of finance. Feeling confused, I decided to talk to my parents and my closest friend. Interestingly, I learned that I had the qualifications, skills, and above all, the aptitude for a teaching career. And now I'm a lecturer for the Banking Academy where I graduated.

    3) Read the letter from Duong to Jenny and anwser the questions that follow by chosing A, B, C or D.

    Dear Jenny, 

    It's great to learn that you have been granted a scholarship to study at Queens' College, a prestigious part of Cambridge University, and that you will be able to pursue your dream of becoming a biologist. Congrats!I've been accepted to the maths class at Ha Noi High School - one of the best schools in Ha Noi. I love maths and I hope to become a mathematician one day. I know the route ahead is not smooth because I'll have to take courses in moths, physics, and computing. My dad said I need not only a bachelor's degree, but dec y a doctoral one if I want to get a good job. I'd love to work at the Institute of Mathematics like my dad because, due to his work at the institute, he has also been invited to teach several universities in France. Alternatively, I can choose applied mathematics and work in finace for an international company.

    Moreover, my mother said I also need soft skills like team work skill interpersonal skills, and communication skills to do either of those jobs. Luckily, new school provides many extracurricular classes which I can take part in to relax and to pick up those skills.
    Anyway, there's plenty of time for me to make details plans. Twe decided to take a break for a while.
    Wish you were here to go with me to Da Nang.
    Duong
