I. LISTENING
Nam and Mai are talking about Mai’s project on ways to save endangered animals. Listen to the conversation and decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Script:
Nam: Hi, Mai. How's your mid-term project going?
Mai: Good! I'm trying to complete it by next Monday. But I'm still working on the last part: saving endangered animals. Do you have any ideas, Nam?
Nam: Well, I think the first thing you should do is help people understand the importance of this problem.
Mai: Yes, I agree. Some people think this is a natural process that would happen with or without humans. They also believe that's not their responsibility.
Nam: You should also do some research on the number of endangered animals. We are losing animals quicker now than ever before. And one of the reasons is illegal hunting.
Mai: Yes, hunting causes a lot of suffering to wild animals. It destroys their natural habitats, and leaves baby animals behind to die.
Nam: Well, I think strict laws can really help. Heavy punishment may prevent people from illegal hunting. Besides, wildlife trade should be banned as well.
Mai: That would stop illegal hunting. Any more ideas, Nam?
Nam: And we should make sure that the souvenirs we buy on holiday are not made from endangered animal parts.
Mai: That's true. Thanks, Nam! You've been so helpful.

Task 2. 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.
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
