Transcript — SECTION I. LISTENING — Part 2 (TTS từ transcript)
Anita: I'm here today to tell you about my life as a musician in an orchestra, as I understand some of you may be considering this as a career. If you play the flute, like me, then I'd certainly recommend it as a great way to become a professional musician. I used to wish I played the violin as my sister does, as that'd offer more opportunities for work as a soloist, but now I don't think I'd exchange orchestra work for a solo career – even if I had the opportunity and the talent.

Some of you are studying for a degree in music at the university here. I was very tempted by that option, but in the end my parents persuaded me to do maths instead. They thought it was more likely to lead to a steady job.

After graduating, I was considering becoming a teacher but decided to take a job in a bank first while I made up my mind. Being a cashier during the day left me with plenty of time and energy in the evenings, and I began to play in my local orchestra. I loved it, and when someone suggested I try for one of the bigger national orchestras, I jumped at the chance.

It's extremely enjoyable and I love the path I've chosen, but it's certainly not an easy life. I spend a lot of my time living out of a suitcase. We spent last month playing a series of concerts in Australia, for example. We got back last week and are off again next Monday. To Canada. Then later in the year, we're off to France.

The orchestra I play for is one of the best known in the country. And that's not just because we've got a pretty good marketing manager. The thing is we have a brilliant conductor. He's still quite young and he has an amazing future ahead of him, I'm sure. We all feel very fortunate to have the chance to be working with him.

Although I love travel, I wouldn't say that's the best part of my job. It's often fun, but it can be exhausting. But what I do love is the companionship. It's great to spend one's life with a group of people who share the same passion for music.

Although we spend most of our time giving concerts in this country and abroad, we did have one rather unusual experience last year when we featured in a movie. You may have seen it – it was called Storm – and it was about a touring orchestra that got stuck on a Caribbean island during a hurricane. The same director says he's going to use us in his adaptation of a novel called Piano, which he's planning to start shooting next year.

I hope this has given you some idea of what life in an orchestra is like. I'd say it can best be described as being fulfilling. I feel incredibly lucky to be paid for doing something I love so much. At times, of course, it's exhausting and difficult, but it's never boring and I have no hesitation in recommending it as a career.

Anita suggests that for those who play the instrument called the __________, joining an orchestra is an ideal career move.

Anita once envied her sister’s ability to perform as a __________, which usually provides more employment prospects.

Anita was eventually persuaded by her parents to study __________ at university instead of music.

Anita’s parents believed her chosen subject of study would provide her with a(n) __________ in the future.

While working as a(n) __________ in a bank, Anita still had enough energy to pursue her musical passion after work.

Anita decided to apply for one of the __________ after receiving a suggestion from someone else.

Anita uses the phrase “living out of a __________” to describe the constant traveling required by her profession.

The orchestra’s high reputation is attributed mainly to the talent of their __________, rather than just good marketing.

For Anita, the most rewarding aspect of her professional life is the __________ she shares with other musicians.

Last year, the orchestra had a unique experience when they were involved in the production of a(n) __________.

SECTION III. READING — Part 3

For questions 56-65, read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each question. Write the answers on your answer sheet.

The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), once a minor psychological observation, has now been crystallized as a key force driving the digital economy. At its heart, FOMO is not simply a personal anxiety but a predictable outcome of what might be called “algorithmic sociality”. Digital platforms are built to showcase success and idealized lives while concealing everyday struggles, producing a distorted picture of reality. Within this environment, stepping back from constant participation is treated as a kind of social irrelevance, and the imagined cost of logging off feels far greater than any genuine benefit of simply being present - a reversal of priorities that is increasingly accepted without question.

Modern marketing has skillfully taken advantage of this weakness, moving well beyond traditional advertising into subtler forms of “social proofing.” Influencers, who serve as the primary messengers, routinely blur the line between authentic personal choices and paid promotions, making a “missed opportunity” feel like a personal shortcoming rather than a commercial manipulation. The growing phenomenon of “green-FOMO” adds another layer, with sustainability messaging making consumers feel morally inadequate if they fail to keep up with the latest eco-conscious trends.

The consequences for how organizations are run are just as notable. The modern workplace, now deeply embedded with digital communication tools to enhance efficiency, has unintentionally built a culture of “constant availability”. This trend pulls workers in too many directions at once, making sustained, deep thinking increasingly difficult. Managers find themselves caught in a contradiction: they expect high-quality output while operating in environments that reward quick, surface-level responses. The result is a workforce that is perpetually connected yet progressively cut off from genuinely meaningful deep work.

In response, the idea of JOMO - the Joy of Missing Out - has gained traction as a way of reclaiming control over one’s own attention and inner life. Where FOMO looks outward with envy, JOMO turns inward, valuing the quality of personal experience over the volume of external engagement. That said, embracing JOMO is not simply a matter of personal resolve; it demands a deliberate withdrawal from the attention-driven systems that surround us, and a broader rethinking of how society values rest in a culture that equates ceaseless activity with professional and social worth.

According to paragraph 1, what causes FOMO in the digital age?

The word crystallized in paragraph 1 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.

What does green-FOMO in paragraph 2 primarily illustrate?

Which best summarizes the argument in paragraph 2?

How does the modern consumption model maintain momentum?

What challenge limits adopting JOMO?

The phrase This trend refers to ______.

What does the author imply about deep work in paragraph 3?

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

Which of the following best serves as the main idea for the entire passage?

SECTION III. READING — Part 4

For questions 66-70, read the following passage and choose the correct sentences to fill in the gaps. Write the answers on your answer sheet.

The Hidden Cost of Fast Fashion
In recent years, fast fashion has become increasingly popular among teenagers and young adults. Clothes are produced rapidly, sold cheaply, and replaced almost immediately by new trends. While this business model allows consumers to buy fashionable items at affordable prices, it also creates serious environmental problems. (66) __________.
The fashion industry is currently responsible for a significant amount of global carbon emissions. Factories consume enormous quantities of energy, especially in countries where electricity is generated mainly from coal. In addition, synthetic materials such as polyester are made from fossil fuels and can take hundreds of years to decompose. (67) __________.
There are also other concerns related to water pollution. Textile factories often release untreated chemicals into rivers and lakes, damaging ecosystems and threatening human health. In some developing countries, local communities no longer have access to clean water because nearby factories have contaminated their supplies. (68) __________.
Consumers also play an important role in this issue. Many people buy clothes not because they truly need them, but because social media constantly encourages them to follow the latest trends. As a result, huge amounts of clothing are thrown away each year, even when they are still wearable. (69) __________.
However, there are signs of positive change. Some fashion companies have started using recycled fabrics and more sustainable production methods. Meanwhile, consumers are gradually becoming more aware of the environmental consequences of their choices. Buying fewer clothes, reusing old items, and supporting ethical brands can all make a difference. (70) __________.

Sentences:
A. Consequently, millions of tons of textile waste end up in landfills annually.
B. This not only harms aquatic life but also adversely affects people who depend on these water sources for daily life.
C. Environmentalists argue that the true price of cheap clothing is paid by the planet.
D. If these efforts continue, the fashion industry may eventually become less damaging to the environment.
E. Furthermore, washing synthetic clothes releases tiny plastic particles into oceans around the world.

SECTION III. READING — Part 5

For questions 71-75, read an article about density and crowding. Choose the most suitable heading from the list for each paragraph. There are two extra headings which you do not need to use. An example has been done for you. Write the answers on your answer sheet.

List of headings
i. Other experiments following Calhoun’s experiment offering a clearer indication
ii. The effects of crowding on people in the social scope
iii. Extreme psychological reaction to crowding
iv. Problems that result in crowding
v. Responsibility does not work
vi. What causes the upset feel of crowding
vii. Definitions of crowding and density
viii. Nature and results of Calhoun’s experiment

Example: Paragraph A: iv

A. Of the great myriad of problems which man and the world face today, there are three significant trends which stand above all others in importance: the unprecedented population growth throughout the world - a net increase of 1,400,000 people per week - and all of its associations and consequences; the increasing urbanization of these people, so that more and more of them are rushing into cities and urban areas of the world; and the tremendous explosion of communication and social contact throughout the world, so that every part of the world is now aware of every other part. All of these trends are producing increased crowding and the perception of crowding.

B. It is important to emphasize at the outset that crowding and density are not necessarily the same. Density is the number of individuals per unit area or unit space. It is a simple physical measurement. Crowding is a product of density, communication, contact, and activity. It implies a pressure, a force, and a psychological reaction. It may occur at widely different densities. The frontiersman may have felt crowded when someone built a homestead a mile away. The suburbanite may feel relatively uncrowded in a small house on a half-acre lot if it is surrounded by trees, bushes, and a hedgerow, even though he lives under much higher physical density than did the frontiersman. Hence, crowding is very much a psychological and ecological phenomenon and not just a physical condition.

C. A classic crowding study was done by Calhoun (1962), who put rats into a physical environment designed to accommodate 50 rats and provided enough food, water, and nesting materials for the number of rats in the environment. The rat population peaked at 80, providing a look at cramped living conditions. Although the rats experienced no resource limitations other than space restriction, a number of negative conditions developed: the two most dominant males took harems of several female rats and occupied more than their share of space, leaving other rats even more crowded; many females stopped building nests and abandoned their infant rats; the pregnancy rate declined; infant and adult mortality rates increased; more aggressive and physical attacks occurred; sexual variation increased, including hypersexuality, inhibited sexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality.

D. Calhoun’s results have led to other research on crowding’s effect on human beings, and these research findings have suggested that high density is not the single cause of negative effects on humans. When crowding is defined only in terms of spatial density (the amount of space per person), the effects of crowding are variable. However, if crowding is defined in terms of social density, or the number of people who must interact, then crowding better predicts negative psychological and physical effects.

E. There are several reasons why crowding makes us feel uncomfortable. One reason is related to stimulus overload - there are just too many stimuli competing for our attention. We cannot notice or respond to all of them. This feeling is typical of the harried mother, who has several children competing for her attention, while she is on the phone and the doorbell is ringing. This leaves her feeling confused, fatigued and yearning to withdraw from the situation. There are strong feelings of a lack of privacy - being unable to pay attention to what you want without being repeatedly interrupted or observed by others.

F. Field studies done in a variety of settings illustrate that social density is associated with negative effects on human beings. In prison studies, males generally became more aggressive with increases in density. In male prison, inmates living in conditions of higher densities were more likely to suffer from the fight. Males rated themselves as more aggressive in small rooms (a situation of high spatial density), whilst the females rated Governments as more aggressive in large rooms (Stokols et al., 1973). These differences relate to the different personal space requirements of the genders. Besides, Baum and Greenberg found that high density leads to decreased attraction, both physical attraction and liking towards others and it appears to have gender differences in the impact that density has on attraction levels, with males experiencing a more extreme reaction. Also, the greater the density is, the less the helping behavior. One reason why the level of helping behavior may be reduced in crowded situations links to the concept of diffusion of responsibility. The more people that are present in a situation that requires help, the less often help is given. This may be due to the fact that people diffuse responsibility among themselves with no one feeling that they ought to be the one to help.
