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.
Ong Pagoda, conveniently located at Ninh Kieu Wharf, offers visitors a serene and immersive
experience. While exploring this sacred site, take a leisurely stroll along the river to soak in the
picturesque scenery, and don't miss the charming walking route leading to Can Tho Mini Beach,
adorned with a small accumulation of sand brought in by the river.
Upon entering Ong Pagoda, prepare to be enveloped in an aromatic cloud of incense. The
temple continuously burns numerous incense rings, releasing their fragrant smoke for hours on
end. While this adds to the spiritual ambiance, it may prove overwhelming for some. To avoid
discomfort, I recommend visiting either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as the
temperature inside tends to be more tolerable during these times.

The 2nd Semester (2024 -2025)

It's worth noting that the temple has certain restrictions on photography, which can be a tad
disappointing for avid shutterbugs. However, fear not! You can still appreciate the remarkable
exterior gate and the adjacent area featuring the Ho Chi Minh monument. These architectural
marvels showcase the rich heritage and cultural significance of the site, allowing you to capture
some memorable moments while respecting the temple's guidelines.
Overall, a visit to Ong Pagoda offers a profound and introspective experience. The combination
of its tranquil location, the ethereal scent of incense, and the captivating river views make it a

As far as time management tips go, working on a tight schedule can be useful for staying
on top of work and balancing time effectively, especially if you’re managing multiple projects and
deliverables. But for some, scheduling the entire day can feel restrictive.
According to Chris Bailey, the author of Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a
World of Distraction, managing your focus is actually a lot more important than managing your
time. “You can show up to meetings when you’re supposed to, and are fully capable of keeping
your calendar on track. Most of us are good at managing our time,” he writes. “What we’re not
good at is managing our attention.”
Even the most well-scheduled day can be thrown off completely if we’re distracted, and
it’s not easy to regain focus on the spot. In order to improve “attention management,” executive

The 2nd Semester (2024 -2025)

Phan Ngoc Hien High School English 11
coach Monique Valcour suggests that you reserve time for daily self-reflection. It can help you
understand what’s working, what’s not, and how to tackle the next day more effectively. “If one
approach isn’t working, try another rather than continuing to hammer away fruitlessly,” she
writes.
Whether you’re a chronic scheduler or prefer flying by the seat of your pants, what matters
most is that the system works for you. “Productivity strategies … lose their potential to motivate
when they don’t feel meaningful,” says Valcour. “Try reframing something you have to do in
terms of your core values for stronger and more sustained focus.”

95. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Focus on managing your attention, not your schedule.
B. Chris Bailey – a famous author.
C. Time-management skills.
D. Monique Valcour – an effective executive coach.
96. Which of the following sentences is TRUE, according to Chris Bailey?
