Social media is often described as a harmful influence on individuals and society. This perception is reinforced by frequent warnings (18). While these dangers are real, focusing solely on negative outcomes overlooks the broader function of social media and the role of user behavior. Social media platforms themselves are not inherently harmful; rather, (19).In a world with billions of people and limited opportunities for direct interaction, social media has become a primary means of learning about perspectives beyond one’s immediate environment. Similar to how children’s books convey lessons through stories, digital content shapes attitudes and beliefs through repeated exposure. (20). Feeds filled with conflict, comparison, or negativity may contribute to negative perceptions, while content focused on learning, creativity, or personal development can encourage more constructive thinking.(21). Algorithms prioritize content based on previous interactions, meaning that engagement with certain topics increases their visibility. By intentionally following positive social connections, goal-oriented individuals, inspirational figures, and constructive entertainment sources, (22). When used deliberately, social media can provide access to information, motivation, and opportunities aligned with personal and professional goals. Therefore, the issue is not social media itself, but the way it is consumed and curated. Responsible and mindful use allows social media to function as a productive and supportive tool rather than a negative influence.

📖 Reading Comprehension Câu 23–30
Read the passage and mark A,B,C or D for questions 23 to 30.
For many people, bacteria are often linked only to illness and danger. Childhood memories of frequent doctor visits and bacterial infections can easily shape the belief that bacteria are enemies to human health. However, this narrow perspective hides a much greater truth. Bacteria are among the most extraordinary organisms on Earth, possessing the power to both harm and heal. Once their potential is understood, they completely reshape how we view science, industry, and environmental protection.
Bacteria play a vital role in addressing one of the most pressing global challenges today: waste management, particularly plastic pollution. Plastic itself is not the true problem. It is lightweight, flexible, durable, and essential for medical, technological, and everyday applications. The real issue lies in how plastic is produced, used, and disposed of. Most conventional plastics are derived from petroleum, persist in the environment for centuries, and are recycled at extremely low rates. Even when recycling occurs, the material often loses quality, forcing industries to mix it with newly produced plastic and creating a misleading sense of sustainability.
Remarkably, bacteria offer a revolutionary alternative. Certain types of bacteria can consume organic waste—such as agricultural by-products or leftover yeast from beer production—and convert it into biodegradable bioplastic. This process involves different groups of bacteria working together, much like a team. One group prepares the waste, while another transforms it into a usable plastic material. The result is a bioplastic that performs similarly to petroleum-based plastic but is environmentally responsible from its origin to its end of life.
Even more importantly, this bioplastic does not create microplastics. When discarded, it naturally breaks down into harmless compounds that become nutrients for other microorganisms. By turning waste into value, bacteria shift responsibility from individuals to industries and systems. Their brilliance demonstrates that nature itself provides powerful solutions, offering hope for a more sustainable and accountable future.

📖 Reading Comprehension Câu 31–40
Read the passage and mark A,B,C or D for questions 31 to 40.
We are drifting into a quiet crisis of team management: many leaders still treat coordination as a “soft skill,” even though it determines whether ambitious plans become outcomes or excuses. [I] It is the disciplined practice of turning shared goals into shared execution. [II] That begins with an uncomfortable truth: strategy without patience breaks people, and patience without strategy wastes time. [III] A manager who wants results must hold both—thinking several steps ahead while staying steady when progress feels slow. [IV]
Ambition, of course, is necessary. But ambition without situational awareness becomes denial. Every project carries obstacles—uncertain information, shifting priorities, limited resources—and pretending otherwise is how small issues become expensive failures. The most reliable teams are not the ones with no problems; they are the ones that surface problems early. That is why a supportive climate matters, not as a “nice to have,” but as a risk-control mechanism. When team members can ask for clarification, challenge assumptions, and share concerns without punishment, collaboration becomes faster and cleaner. Silence, by contrast, is rarely harmony; it is often fear or confusion.
Decision-making is the next pressure point. Teams do not collapse only from bad decisions; they often collapse from delayed decisions. Reacting promptly - by clarifying priorities, removing blockers, and choosing a direction even under uncertainty - prevents minor friction from hardening into major dysfunction. At the same time, prompt action must rest on clear roles. Every member is a vital part of the system, and vague responsibilities invite duplicated work, missed handoffs, and blame games. Clear ownership, measurable outputs, and regular feedback create accountability without hostility.
And then there are setbacks. Unexpected challenges can throw a project off course, and leadership is measured in that moment. Composure is not calm for its own sake; it is the ability to stabilize the team, reset the plan, and protect morale. Imagine moving equipment across difficult terrain: without coordination, pace slows and risk rises. Finally, effective team management should aim beyond survival. Leaders must actively cultivate innovation and efficiency—by learning from mistakes, refining processes, and insisting that progress be real, not merely reported. (359 words)
