If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great
damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologist, this is one of the biggest
mistakes which some parents make. Generally the child will understand very well the parents
expect and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to their children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are
very supportive of their children.

Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons. Although Michael’s play the trumpet in
a large orchestra, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are

successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as
successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very
unhappy when he does not win. “ when I was your age, I used to win every competition I enter,”
Winton’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he
always seems quiet and unhappy.

Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for question

A striking feature of Viet Nam’s remarkable progress over the last few decades is the rapid pace
of urbanisation. In 1986, there were fewer than there are 30 million urban residents. Today
there are 30 million. Cities have become strong growth forces, with urban areas growing twice
as fast as the national average rate, and contributing over half of the country’s gross domestic
product.

Viet Nam needs to reshape its urbanization process to create more efficient cities - cities that
have sufficient population densities are well connected internally and regionally, and well
managed. In addition, in line with Viet Nam's strong preference for social equity, cities will need
to ensure inclusion of all residents, with no groups or area “left behind."

Meanwhile, rural residents increasingly lag behind their urban counterparts in income and
access to services, leading many to migrate to cities. Migration presents challenges for urban
management but also opportunities to enhance labor mobility. Fortunately, these trends can be
reversed.

For example, four years ago, Alley 76 in Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City was only narrow
enough for one motorbike to get through. Store owner Bui Thi Mai knows how a clean and
efficient city can make or break a business. When it rained, the alley was often flooded with

floating garbage and mosquitoes. Crime was increasing. Today, after undergoing major

upgrading under an urban renewal project, the street is cleaner, safer and trucks carry goods to
her door. Her family income has soared and her life has been completely changed.
