Đề thi thử trước kỳ thi THPT Quốc gia năm 2018 môn Tiếng Anh - Sở GD&ĐT Gia Lai - Mã đề 016

 me the responsibility of handling 
my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I 
could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks 
around here or where they were located. Someone told me to go to a bank named Continental Federal 
Savings. And I had to make my own decision - whether to have a checking or saving account and 
whether or not to get a card. I’m on my own to make my own decisions. 
 I also love to have Fridays off. I wouldn’t be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. I 
love to sleep in. One Thursday night, my roommates and I went to Georgetown. We got in rather early 
the next morning, and my roommates and I decided to sleep in, something I couldn’t do in high 
school. 
 I do like things about college - being on my own and having Fridays off, but this doesn’t mean I 
don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a 
pretty good place, too.

 One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being 
mentioned in the news, many people don’t know very much about these areas or understand why they 
are so important. The name “rainforest” actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are - 
tall forests that receive high amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 
centimetres of precipitat...they have survived by hunting animals and gathering fruits 
and vegetables. They also possess tremendous knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying 
medicines made from herbs and plants. Over time, their unique way of life has declined as they have 
come in contact with modem civilization. 
 Despite their numerous benefits, rainforests have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the 
Earth’s population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create new 
lands for farming or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If 
deforestation continues at this rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become 
extinct in the next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 
90 percent of its rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 
percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have sprung up with the goal of 
purchasing and protecting the remaining rainforests. With their help, hopefully we can stop the 
destruction of one of the planet’s most vital assets.
