IV. READING COMPREHENSION (Questions 23–28) — 1.5 points

At an English project class, students recently took part in a project called Local Food Heritage. The main aim was to describe Vietnamese food in English. The idea began after teachers and students noticed that students knew dishes well but lacked descriptive vocabulary. Instead of choosing an expensive solution, the group decided to prepare short bilingual food cards. Before starting, they discussed what could realistically be completed alongside normal lessons and divided the work into small tasks. One useful detail was that cards explained ingredients and serving occasions. This gave the team evidence to discuss rather than relying only on personal opinions. Another part of the project was that students avoided claiming one version was the only authentic one. Teachers stayed involved, but students were expected to make many of the everyday decisions themselves. After several weeks, students practised useful cultural vocabulary. The group also learned that a good project needs clear instructions, regular checking, and a willingness to change a plan when something is confusing or ineffective. In the end, the project combined language and culture. The experience showed students that practical learning does not always require complicated technology or large amounts of money; careful observation, teamwork, and responsible action can be just as important.

For Questions 23–26, write True or False.

23. The project aimed to describe Vietnamese food in English.

27. Which title best matches the passage?

A. A Project With No Practical Goal B. Local Food Heritage C. A Costly Technology Plan at An English Project Class D. Why Students Should Avoid Group Projects

28. What is the main lesson suggested by the passage?

A. Practical projects work better when students observe, cooperate, and adjust their plans. B. Only expensive technology can make school projects successful. C. Students learn best when teachers make every decision for them. D. Community projects should replace normal classroom lessons.
