BÍ QUYẾT LÀM BÀI READING
Làm thế nào để làm phần Reading một cách nhanh chóng và chính xác nhất?
-Trước hết hãy đọc câu hỏi. Đọc câu hỏi trước, chưa vội đọc các lựa chọn trả lời. Khi bạn đã biết
được kiểu câu hỏi phải trả lời thì sẽ dễ dàng tìm ra câu trả lời hơn
- Đọc lướt hay đọc nhanh bài đọc: đừng đọc từng chữ hay đọc một cách chi tiết, đọc nhanh để tìm
ý chính và cấu trúc chung của bài. Bằng cách đọc lướt bạn sẽ nắm được nội dung mà bài đọc muốn
đề cập.
- Khi làm bài đọc hiểu, nếu thấy bài văn quá dài bạn đừng vội nản lòng , đọc lướt từng đoạn nhỏ
và quan trọng là áp dụng 1 kĩ thuật GẠCH CHÂN TỪ KHÓA
- Sau khi đã hoàn tất việc đọc lướt qua từ khóa giờ là lúc bạn quay lại đọc lại để nắm chắc ý . Thi
bằng hình thức trắc nghiệm nên khi so sánh giữa từ khóa và câu hỏi và các ý trong câu lựa chọn
A,B,C,D . Với cách này, chí ít các bạn cũng chọn được 6,7 câu rồi .
- Phải quyết đoán , khi vừa hình thành liên kết ý chắc chắn với câu trả lời bạn cứ khoanh ngay , tự
tin vào lựa chọn của mình .
- Để những câu khó lại sau cùng
- Đoán khi bạn ko biết câu trả lời: khi đoán, trước hết hãy dùng phương pháp loại trừ
+ Các câu hỏi đọc hiểu thường có 1 lựa chọn đúng, 1 lựa chọn gần đúng và 2 lựa chọn sai, hãy sử
dụng linh cảm hay cảm giác khi ko thể quyết định đâu là câu trả lời đúng
+ Nếu bạn ko biết câu trả lời hay dùng 1 chữ cái đoán(A,B,C hoặc D). Hãy dùng 1 chữ cái trả lời
mọi câu hỏi bạn ko biết xuyên suốt 1 bài thi, dùng 1 chữ cái sẽ cho bạn cơ may lớn hơn để có câu
trả lời đúng
-Trả lời mọi câu hỏi: đừng bỏ sót bất kì câu hỏi nào dù bạn ko làm được, nếu ko còn đủ thời gian,
hãy sử dụng kĩ thuật đoán bằng chữ cái cho các câu còn lại.
-Nếu còn thời gian sau khi làm xong bài thi, hãy đọc bài đọc một lần nữa, chú ý vào các câu, các
đoạn bạn chưa hiểu lắm và xem lại các đáp án mình đã lựa chọn.
-Để nâng cao khả năng reading, trong quá trình ôn thi, bạn cần cải thiện vốn từ vựng, đọc thật
nhiều để không quên từ đã học và học thêm từ mới. Quan trọng hơn tăng cường kiến thức cho
mình, có thể bạn sẽ gặp những vấn đề tương tự như vậy trong bài thi. Nếu đã quen với topic thì
vấn đề sẽ đơn giản hơn nhiều.
-Tốc độ đọc là một vấn đề, bởi mỗi câu chỉ có 1 phút, bạn không thể để mất thời gian qua nhiều.
Hãy đọc và hiểu mình đã đọc cái gì là tốt nhất, trên cơ sở hiểu có thể giải quyết nhiều câu hỏi trong

khoảng thời gian ngắn. Đọc nhanh mà không hiểu thì rồi cũng phải đọc lại thôi, đọc chậm quá sẽ
tăng sức ép về thời gian trong lúc trả lời, rất dễ mắc sai lầm.
- Hãy làm nhiều đề thi để có thể học từ vựng cũng như biết cách phân chia thời gian làm bài hợp lý

Americas foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient
and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft
drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of Americas strongest exports as franchises
for Mc Donalds and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including
Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace _ gave way
to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural
patterns.

fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines

style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical
American cuisine. Along with the states wines, California cuisine took its place among the
acknowledged forms of fine dining.

Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these
trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also called levis or denims,
jeans have an interesting story.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In
the 16th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of cotton trousers. In French, the
word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became attached
to the trousers and developed into the word jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17th century,
French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in the
city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually developed into
denim, the material which jeans are made and an alternative name for these popular pants.
The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell heavy canvas to
miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He intended for this canvas to be
used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attemp was a failure but he later found success
when he used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from
brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to
by his name.
