Adults and children are frequently confronted with statements about the alarming rate of loss of tropical

rainforests are being destroyed at a rate equivalent to one thousand football fields every forty minutes – about

Trang 2/8
the duration of a normal classroom period. In the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage, it is
likely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests – what and where they are, why they are important,
what endangers them – independent of any formal tuition. It is also possible that some of these ideas will be
mistaken. Many studies have shown that children harbor misconceptions about ‘pure’, curriculum science.
These misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organized,
conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robust but also
accessible to modification. These ideas may be developed by children absorbing ideas through the popular
media. Sometimes this information may be erroneous. It seems schools may not be providing an opportunity for
children to re-express their ideas and so have them tested and refined by teachers and their peers.
No. Statements T F NG
81. Adults and students aren’t aware of the topics related to the loss of tropical rainforests.
According to the passage, the duration of one classroom period is forty minutes,
82.
equivalent to the estimated number of rainforests being destroyed.
83. Children have formed illustrations about the rainforests through vivid media coverage.
84. Ideas developed by the children about the rainforests are always accurate and precise.
85. Students might ask the schools to allow them to re-express their ideas.
Part 4. Read the following passage then choose the best answer by circling its corresponding letter A, B,
C or D. (1/8/2023)
For some children, growing up with strict parents can instill a sense of discipline, responsibility, and
respect for authority. The structured environment provided by strict parenting can help children develop
a strong work ethic, time management skills, and adherence to rules. These individuals may appreciate the
boundaries set by their parents, as they recognize the benefits of structure and order in their lives. The strict
parenting style can create a sense of security and stability, as children know what is expected of them and strive
to meet those expectations.
On the other hand, strict parenting can also have potential drawbacks and challenges. Children raised in
such an environment may feel a heightened pressure to meet their parents' expectations, leading to stress,
anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy. The constant focus on rules and obedience can limit their ability to explore
their own interests, make independent decisions, and develop a sense of autonomy. Strict parents often
prioritize academic achievements and conformity, which can hinder the child's creativity, individuality, and
emotional well-being.
The parent-child relationship in strict households may also face difficulties in communication and
understanding. The strictness of the parents may create an atmosphere of fear or apprehension, inhibiting open
dialogue and expression of emotions. Children may find it challenging to share their thoughts, experiences, and
concerns, fearing judgment or punishment from their parents. This lack of open communication can lead to
misunderstandings, strained relationships, and a sense of disconnection
between parents and their children.
It is important to note that strict parenting styles can have varying effects depending on the child's
temperament, resilience, and overall support system. Some children may thrive under the structure and
guidance, while others may struggle to meet the expectations placed upon them. The relationship between strict
parents and their children can greatly benefit from finding a balance between discipline and flexibility.
Encouraging open communication, understanding the child's individual needs, and allowing for reasonable
autonomy can foster a healthier and more harmonious parent-child relationship.
Ultimately, the impact of strict parenting on the relationship between parents and their children is
anuanced and multifaceted topic. While strict parents may have good intentions, it is important for them to be
aware of the potential consequences and limitations of their parenting style. Striking a balance between
structure and flexibility, and nurturing a relationship based on trust, understanding, and open
communication, can help create an environment where children can thrive, while still benefiting from the
valuable lessons imparted by their strict parents.
86. According to the passage, what is one potential benefit of growing up with strict parents?
A. Enhanced creativity and emotional expression
B. Increased sense of autonomy and independence
C. Strong work ethic and adherence to rules
D. Decreased stress and anxiety levels
87. The strict parenting style mentioned in the passage can hinder children's:
A. Academic achievements and conformity
B. Discipline, responsibility, and respect for authority
Trang 3/8
 C. Exploration of personal interests and autonomy
D. Communication and understanding with their parents
88. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential consequence of strict parenting according to the
passage?
A. Strained relationships between parents and children
B. Inadequate development of time management skills
C. Inhibition of open dialogue and expression of emotions
D. Feelings of inadequacy and heightened pressure
89. According to the passage, the relationship between strict parents and their children can greatly benefit from:
A. Placing less emphasis on academic achievements
B. Maintaining an atmosphere of fear and apprehension
C. Encouraging open communication and understanding
D. Facilitating the child's autonomy and individuality
