Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 19 to 24.

English Around the World

Today, more than 1.5 billion people speak English. However, it is not the same everywhere. The idea of “World Englishes” shows us that English has many different forms. Each place makes English its own by adding local words, sounds, and styles. This makes the language colourful and interesting.

English began in Britain. When British people travelled and built colonies, they took their language with them. In the USA, Australia, and Canada, English changed slowly and became the first language for most people. Americans say “cookie” instead of “biscuit”. Australians use words like “barbie” for barbecue and “arvo” for afternoon.

In many Asian and African countries, English is an important second language. In India, people created Indian English. In Indian English, they may use “ji” at the end of names to show respect. In Singapore, people speak Singlish (that is Singaporean + English). A Singaporean might say, “You go where ah?” meaning “Where are you going?” These local varieties help people express their culture and identity.

Even in countries where English is a foreign language, people are making new forms. Young people in Japan mix English with Japanese in songs and social media. In the Middle East, business people use English but add Arabic words and expressions.

World Englishes remind us that no single country owns English anymore. All speakers can be proud of their own way of using it. The language is like a big family with many different voices, but they can still understand each other. This variety makes English stronger and more useful in our connected world.

(Adapted from English Reading Comprehension MCQs)

Question 20: What does the word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Australian people   B. Canadian people     C. American people    D. British people

Question 21: In what country do people use “ji” at the end of names to show respect?

A. Japan                      B. Britain                    C. India                       D. Singapore

Question 22: Which example shows Singlish?

A. “Please prepone the meeting.”

B. “Let’s have a barbie this arvo.”

C. “You go where ah?”

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. It is also the highest trash pile in the world. Around 400 people try to reach the top every year. Having many climbers on Mount Everest means a lot of trash.

Du lịch nước ngoài mang lại nhiều lợi ích to lớn. Đầu tiên, nó giúp mọi người tìm hiểu thêm về thế giới. Họ có thể khám phá những địa điểm mới, gặp gỡ những người đến từ các nền văn hóa khác nhau và hiểu được nhiều cách sống khác nhau. Thứ hai, du lịch thúc đẩy giao lưu văn hóa. Bằng cách đến thăm các quốc gia khác, mọi người có thể tôn trọng các phong tục và truyền thống địa phương đồng thời chia sẻ nền văn hóa của riêng họ. Điều này xây dựng sự hiểu biết và tình bạn giữa các quốc gia. Cuối cùng, nó khiến du khách trở nên độc lập hơn. Họ phải tự lập kế hoạch, giải quyết vấn đề và tự chăm sóc bản thân trong môi trường xa lạ. Tóm lại, du lịch nước ngoài không chỉ mở rộng kiến thức của chúng ta mà còn giúp chúng ta phát triển thành những cá nhân có trách nhiệm và cởi mở hơn.
