Kiến thức: Cụm từ
Giải thích: Ta có cụm “at short notice”: không lâu trước đó; không có cảnh báo hoặc thời gian chuẩn bị Personally speaking, they are invaluable when it comes to making social or business arrangements at short
(25) notice.
Tạm dịch: Cá nhân mà nói, chúng là vô giá khi nói đến việc sắp xếp cuộc hẹn xã giao hoặc kinh doanh trong thời gian ngắn không có thông báo trước đó.
Chọn B
Dịch bài đọc:
Việc phát minh ra điện thoại di động chắc chắn đã cách mạng hóa cách mọi người giao tiếp và ảnh hưởng đến mọi khía cạnh của cuộc sống của chúng ta. Vấn đề là liệu sự đổi mới công nghệ này có hại nhiều hơn lợi hay không.
Để trả lời câu hỏi này, trước tiên chúng ta phải chuyển đến loại hình người tiêu dùng. Có lẽ, hầu hết cha mẹ mua điện thoại di động cho con trong tuổi thiếu niên của họ để theo dõi nơi ở của chúng và đảm bảo sự an toàn của chúng. Chúng ta cũng có thể cho rằng hầu hết thanh thiếu niên muốn điện thoại di động để tránh bị mất liên lạc xã hội. Trong bối cảnh này, lợi thế là rõ ràng. Tuy nhiên, chúng ta không thể phủ nhận thực tế là các tin nhắn văn bản dã bị sử dụng bởi những kẻ bắt nạt để hăm dọa các học sinh. Cũng có những bằng chứng nghi ngờ rằng việc nhắn tin đã ảnh hưởng đến kỹ năng đọc viết.
Việc sử dụng phổ biến của điện thoại di động cũng ảnh hưởng đến người tiêu dùng trưởng thành. Nhân viên nào, trên đường về nhà từ nơi làm việc, sẽ miễn cưỡng trả lời cuộc gọi từ ông chủ của họ? Rõ ràng, theo một cuộc khảo sát gần đây, chỉ có 18% trong số chúng ta sẵn sàng tắt điện thoại di động khi rời khỏi văn phòng.
Phải thừa nhận, điện thoại di động có thể xâm nhập quá nhiều nhưng có những lợi ích rõ ràng khi sở hữu một chiếc điện thoại di động. Cá nhân mà nói, chúng là vô giá khi nói đến việc sắp xếp cuộc hẹn xã giao hoặc kinh doanh trong thời gian ngắn không có thông báo trước đó. Theo một cuộc khảo sát gần đây, chúng cũng mang lại cho chủ nhân một cảm giác an toàn trong các tình huống khẩn cấp.
Tóm lại, điện thoại di động có những nhược điểm của chúng, nhưng những lợi ích lại vượt trội hơn. Tôi lập luận rằng không phải là công cụ chọn mục đích, mà là người sử dụng

These cover a range of things relevant to life beyond school, from sending an e-mail to giving presentation to an audience. Under the heading "survival", (33)_______, students can learn car mainternance, first aid and cooking. We have discovered that many students cannot do simple things such as mend a puncture or boil an egg. At the other extreme, the Diploma includes such things as how to design a webpage and how to cope if someone has a heart attack. It has been called a " Diploma in Common Sense".
On the course, students will not be taught in the traditional (34)__________, but rather will be guided and encouraged to do things for themselves. This is above all a practical "hand-on" course. To a greater or lesser extent, good schools have always tried to (35)__________these skills.

We hope this will change now that we have a proper course that will lead to a recognised diploma.
