Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
I joined the Volunteer Club when I started secondary school. The club was formed fifteen years ago, shortly after the school was set up. Since then, it has organised various volunteering activities for all students to participate in. Through these activities, students have the chance to give back to communities while learning valuable skills that will benefit them in the future.

One of the most popular activities of our club is selling handmade items to raise money for the local orphanage and homeless elderly people. Last year, we also raised over one hundred million VND to help people in flooded areas. The money was used to buy warm clothes, blankets, food, and clean water. Seeing how our contributions directly improved people’s lives made us more motivated to continue our efforts.

Our club welcomes different types of donations: clothes, picture books, unused notebooks, and other unwanted items. At the end of each month, we take the donations to the community centre. Our club also organises after-school games for the children at the orphanage and concerts for the old people at the centre. In addition, it offers other volunteering activities, such as helping at a food bank or delivering free meals to poor families.

Volunteering has helped me gain life experiences and find my sense of purpose in life. When I see suffering and hardships, I feel thankful for what I have. What is more, these activities provide opportunities for me to meet other teenagers with similar interests and help me build essential life skills.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
There have been lots of surveys about teenagers and happiness, and they all come to different conclusions. Some surveys say that most young people are happiest when they spend time with their family. [I] Some teenagers think that getting good marks at school and passing exams makes them happy, and others feel that it’s having a boyfriend or girlfriend that improves their lives. The problem is that there isn’t just one thing that makes everyone happy. Happiness is something different for each of us, and what made us happy last week might not make us happy next week! [II]

However, there are some things that can help improve our mood when we’re feeling unhappy. [III] Experts believe that exercise can make you a happier person – but how? Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that are related to a feeling of pleasure. Many people who exercise say that the more exercise they do, the more they want to do. Now we know why! In addition to this, exercise also does wonders for our physical health. So, if we know that we’re doing something healthy, that should make us even happier! [IV]

There’s another surprising idea to help make us happier. Although you might think that eating chocolate is bad for you, it seems that it is good to eat chocolate when you’re feeling sad. According to some research, experts say that eating it can make us feel happy. Of course, it isn’t healthy to eat too much, but chocolate releases chemicals in the same way that exercise does – and for some people, it’s easier and quicker than running several kilometres or working out in the gym!
