Jack: Hi, Emma. I'm going through a long shopping list for my family picnic. We leave at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Are you buying groceries?
Emma: No, my family doesn’t do grocery shopping in supermarkets. We usually go to convenience stores instead. I'm buying some batteries and a flashlight.

Emma: These are for an emergency in case of a natural disaster.
Jack: Is there one coming?
Emma: No, but my family just wants to be prepared for the future.

II. READING
TASK 1. Read the text and complete the summary with no more than ONE word from the text
Quan ho is a style of Vietnamese folk music that was recognised by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 2009. It first appeared in Bac Ninh Province in the 13th century. After so many years, quan ho is still an important part of Vietnamese culture. However, it is also facing a number of challenges such as lack of interest in folk culture, limited performance opportunities, and competition from other music styles. To deal with the challenges, local authorities are making every effort to restore and promote quan ho.
First, different versions of thousands of quan ho songs were recorded in quan ho villages with the voices of hundreds of artists. Then the best songs were selected for publishing. These collections of quan ho songs will help keep the art alive for future generations. These books can also be used as culfural documents for restoration and research work.
Second, singing clubs were set up in quan ho villages to attract members, especially younger people. Club members gather to share their knowledge about quan ho singing. Older singers also offer regular training sessions for young members. Singing along with experienced performers helps young people learn the old melodies and lyrics quickly. In addition, local authorities try to promote the folk music to wider audiences, especially international ones. Every year, there is a quan ho singing competition, which attracts thousands of amateur and professional singers from all parts of the country. Winners are then invited to perform at different cultural exchanges, introducing the songs to international audiences around the world.

Sample writing:
Try to protect Cham Towers -
Try to protect core values of Cham community
Located in Ninh Thuan, the ancient towers, including Hoa Lai, Poklong Garai, and Porome, were acknowledged as historic architectural works by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
Protecting architectural values
Most Cham towers standing the test of centuries have been deteriorated due to sustaining the severe weather patterns.
To protect these Cham Towers, the local governments should make specific plans to check the wholeness of vulnerable structures and restore them to their former glory.
Protecting cultural values
Today many rituals and customs of these festivals taking place at the towers are threatened with the adaptation to mass tourism.
The problem can be solved if the Cham community makes every effort to keep these festivals indigenous. Reducing mass tourism can be considered to alleviate its negative effects on Cham culture.
Let’s protect and take pride in our ancient towers.
