NEW PLATFORMS FOR PAIRING FREELANCERS WITH BUSINESSES
These days, devices, apps, and other personal technology let us communicate with one another from virtually everywhere.

New online marketplaces are launching in a wide range of categories, helping talented freelancers to find jobs in their chosen fields. Vlance.vn is one such platform operating in Vietnam.
CO-WORKING SPACES IN MAJOR CITIES
It's not uncommon for independent workers to feel isolated. But the rise of co-working spaces in urban centers is changing that, offering freelancers all the needed support and resources. They also create a collaborative ambience you’d find at any cutting-edge company. Vietnam is not behind in this trend with booming spaces like Toong, Hanoihub,WORK Saigon etc.

2. Write a paragraph of 100 - 120 words about the advantages that a person may have when learning English in an English speaking country.

Sample writing

When a person learns English in an English speaking country, he/she can have many advantages. First, he/she can learn with native speakers so they can learn the language naturally. Second, he/she can learn English in real life contexts, which is much more beneficial than someone learning English in a foreign country. Another advantage is he/she can have very natural accent or the native-like accent. This is what many people wish to have. Finally, I believe those people can also have native speakers as friends. Later on, when they come back home, they can at the same time maintain their English if keeping contact with those friends. For all the advantages I have mentioned above, I think one should go abroad to study English if they really have a chance.

II. READING

1. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.

First explorations into the planets

Human’s dream of stepping into the outer space has been long ago and Jules Verne - a famous fiction writer of the 19th century was the first to describe such journeys. However, it was not until 14 September 1959 when the first artificial object - Lunar 2 - reached the moon. It was a journey of around 36 hours. Then on 3 February 1966 Luna 9 - an unmanned space mission - achieved a soft landing on the moon and transmitted photographic data to Earth. Lunar 10 - a robotic spacecraft mission entered lunar orbit on April 3, 1966. On 20 July 1969, the first manned landing on the moon was made by Neil Armstrong. After his journey, a series of journeys to other planets were made. The first flyby - the flight of a spacecraft near a planet to record data - of Venus was made by Mariner 2 in 1962. Other flybies include that in 1965 for Mars by Mariner 4, 1973 for Jupiter by Pioneer 10, 1974 for Mercury by Mariner 10, 1979 for Saturn by Pioneer 11, 1986 for Uranus by Voyager 2, 1989 for Neptune by Voyager 2.

1. Jules Verne was the first ______.

A. to dream of flying into space

B. to enter the moon

C. to describe space journeys

2. Lunar 2 was the first artificial object to ______.

A. orbit the moon

B. reach the moon

C. land on the moon

B. was launched with a human

C. could send photographic data to Earth

B. It was launched in the same year with Lunar 9.

C. It landed on the moon.

5. A flyby is a flight of a spacecraft ______.

A. near Venus, Mars and Mercury to take pictures

B. made near a planet to gain data of the planet

C. made in 1962, 1974 and 1898

2. Read the passage about space. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Circle T or F.

In the past, the study of space was mainly carried out by astronomers using telescopes. However, astronomers sometimes had it wrong. Meanwhile, apart from the desire to conquer the world around, humans also want more space to accommodate the world’s increasing population.
Owing to the developments in space technology, humans have made spectacular explorations and discoveries of the space. The explorations can be conducted either by unmanned robotic probes or by human spaceflights.
Undeniably, those achievements have been made quickly as a result of the “space race” by the Soviet Union and the United States. Within more than two decades, from the beginning of 1950s to 1970s, the two nations launched many of the milestones, from launching living beings into space to launching flybies to observe planets.
However, the biggest achievement of the 21st century has been the cooperation in launching the International Space Station, which serves as space environment research laboratory for experiments in many fields. It is also suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. Hopefully, in the near future, space technological advancements will soon allow us to find out habitable space environment.
