Every word on a label describing a food, a drug, a cosmetic or a medical device is important in protecting you and your family from buying an inferior product, from misusing a good one, from being tricked by dangerous quackery, or from unknowingly possessing an item harmful to health.
A label must not be misleading (lừa dối). This restriction is somewhat vague (mơ hồ) and therefore cannot prevent all violations.

QUESTION 52 – 55: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by circling letter A, B, C or D as the correct answer and then mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Charles Eliot, taking over at Harvard in 1869 at the age of 35, pioneered a break with the traditional curriculum. The usual course of studies at American universities emphasized classical and humanistic (thuộc về nhân văn) courses, classical languages, mathematics, ethics and rhetoric (hùng biện); and each institution prescribed a rigid program of required courses. Under Eliot’s leadership, Harvard dropped most of its required courses in favour of an elective system and increased its course offerings to stress the physical and social sciences, the fine arts and modern languages. Soon other institutes in all sections of the country were following Harvard’s lead. Eliot was also influential in bringing about important reforms in professional education. He renovated the Harvard medical and law schools, raising the requirements and lengthening the residence period, and again the Harvard model affected the other schools. Improved technical training in other professions accompanied the advances in medicine and law. Both state and private universities hastened to establish schools of architecture, engineering, education, journalism and business.

II. Topic: Discuss the role of teachers in one’s life
Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, it's always best to have a teacher. Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They've been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style. For instance, some students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way that's best for each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus they're only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can
adapt her teaching to your needs.
Teachers help you focus on what you're learning. If you're learning something by yourself, it's easy to become distracted and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, it's tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don't need. That can hinder your ability to really understand the subject.
Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher's own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you're learning.
There's nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.
