Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions from 10 to 14.
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.
