Read the text and choose the correct answer.
We tend to think that successful people deserve their success. They probably studied hard at school,
they worked hard every day or they took a lot of risks. In fact, many successful people simply got a ‘lucky break' something happened that gave them a chance to be successful, they took the opportunity
and the rest, as they say, is history.
Some people just fell into fame. Aretha Franklin, the legendary Queen of Soul, was singing in her church
choir when a record company executive heard her voice. Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, was in a restaurant when a TV executive saw her. She was four. A week later she had a
part in a film. A month later she was in an advert for Burger King.
Other people were lucky because someone else was unlucky. In 1963, the very famous Italian opera
singer Giuseppe di Stefano had a throat problem while he was singing in the opera La Boheme. A
young, relatively unknown singer was asked to take over. His name? Luciano Pavarotti.
Some people are just very lucky. Mel Gibson was born in New York. In 1968 his dad won a lot of money
on a quiz show. He decided to move the family to Australia. In Sydney Mel studied drama because his
sister sent off his application form. Then the night before one of his first auditions, Mel had a fight at a
party. And when the unheard-of actor arrived at the audition, he looked awful - but perfect for the role of
Mad Max. He got the part.
Sometimes lucky breaks lead to a new invention. When that happens, it’s called serendipity. The
discovery of Post-It TM notes were an accident. In 1970 Spencer Silver was attempting to make a strong
type of glue. He failed. Then four years later, Spencer’s colleague was trying to mark the songs in a
hymn book at his local church. But the pieces of paper he used kept falling out. He remembered
Spencer’s glue and the Post-It™ was born. Last year 3M sold over $100 million worth of the notes.
In life, it seems, sometimes you need a little luck. But while you’re waiting, it’s probably safer to keep
working hard.
Are these sentences true (T), false (F) or the article doesn’t say (DS)?
61. The article says that people become successful because they work hard. ....................
62. Aretha Franklin used to sing in her church. ....................
63. Sarah Michelle Gellars acting career started slowly at first. ....................

Tớ chuẩn bị làm bài nói Tiếng Anh. Đề Bài : What is the most important characteristic in a person? Các bạn đọc và tìm giúp mình có chỗ nào sai hay không phù hợp thì chỉ mình nha! Mình cám ơn các bạn rất nhiều.

We live in a world of peace without war. The Vietnamese people have gone through painful historical pages and have spent thousands of years developing. And if Vietnam wants to develop like other countries, there must be people who are genius. I have read a newspaper about people in Japan. Japan is one of the most developed countries. Because people there are economic and life characteristics. Japanese people are always afraid of backward against the world so they always exchange knowledge even when they are on the road they also hold books to learn. They are also very good: do not squeeze in line, do not steal. Therefore, if Vietnam wants to develop, then there must be people who have characteristics like Japanese people. And in my opinion people need these traits:
1. Patriotism:
- Patriotism is one of the most important characteristics in people. Because patriotism is a driving force behind our development goals.
2. Have virtue:
- virtue is important in people because it is applied to life and economy. Being an honest person, knowing how to help others, giving in to the economy is not easy.
3. Benefit:
- Do people need to be grateful, kind. If you are honest, people around you will respect you.
4. Honestly:
- The lie is something that is being condemned in today's society. Lies in work and in life will cause others to lose faith in you. So honesty is always good quality. Because honesty will help you succeed and develop the virtues of the Vietnamese people.
5. Humble:
At work, when a project succeeds we will be excited. Success not only brings joy to us but also motivates us to work harder. But not because of that success, I am subjective, always bragging. Therefore, human beings need to have humility, always for their success must be lower than others. Typically, President Ho Chi Minh always has a humble heart that everyone admire.
6. Powerful:
- In addition to success, there is a failure in life. An Australian president said: "Failure is the opportunity to start the success again." Yes, failure helps us to grow. Not because of a failure that you give up. You must always have a strong, energetic spirit.
7. Unity:
- Finally is unity. Unity has been a tradition since the war. Thanks to that unity, the Vietnamese have expelled the enemy, unified the country. Today, that unity is also applied in economics. If the Vietnamese people are united together, they can create a new phenomenon that will bring Vietnam to the top of the world. And no one else is the Vietnamese U23 football team, which has made 90 million Vietnamese people proud of their unity and love of the country.
