My hometown is Ho Chi Minh City, which is also known as Saigon. This is the biggest city of Vietnam, and it has a lot of interesting things. First, we have to mention the cuisine here. Since this is the biggest financial center of Vietnam, it attracts many people from different parts of the country. Therefore, they bring along with them the featuring foods from their regions, and this make Ho Chi Minh become the biggest food center as well. Second, people and the lifestyle here are also special. It perfectly represents the open style of the South, and it is always busy. The streets are always full of people, and traffic jams is one of the most serious problem here. We can never actually drive on the main roads without being stuck for a few times, and this situation lasts all day long even if it is in the working hours. Third, the citizens work very hard since it is not easy to live in the big city, but they also spend a lot of time and money on entertaining. They love to go to shopping malls, movie theaters and coffee shops. The lights seem never go off here, and people start to go out at the time when most parts of the countries go to sleep. Despite sleeping late, they can go to work very early in the next morning. Going out is considered as a culture of Ho Chi Minh City, and the lifestyle here is very open and active. I love this city a lot, and I think it is worthy for people to live. In my opinion, there is nowhere that can be fun and comfortable like Saigon, so I will live here forever.

I went to Viet Nam in 1996. There were mostly manual labour and agricultural productions. 12 years later, when I came back, the country had dramatically changed, there were more technology and equipment and more industrial production too.
Last year, I went back to Ho Chi Minh city after 20 years and to my surprise, there were more services. There were also many opportunities for university (inside and outside the country), which were another surprise for me.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job application. Here are some of the most common and most serious.
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the specific skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are essential. In short, they won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements of what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how much did they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they are interested in what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good one is brief - three to four sentences long. A good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further.
Many resumes list ‘hard' job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills. However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical skills.
All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying. If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their organization. The person who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how good you are. On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie.
