The reading comprehension question system closely follows the materials, is moderately differentiated, and not tricky. The requirements from recognition to application are all within the ability of secondary school students. In particular, the social commentary question about procrastination habits is a practical issue, close to students' lives today.
The exam hits the "syndrome of the times" of many young people, hesitant, dependent on social networks, lacking self-discipline. This is an educational type of exam, students write down their true thoughts. It can be said that the exam maintains a balance between emotions and thinking, between knowledge testing and competency assessment.
A good essay question is to touch life and evoke the sincere voice of students" - Ms. Anh Thu commented.
