Welcome to my channel, let's practice your listening skill.
2
With video level A1 to A2, and the topic is English exam.
3
Now listen carefully.
4
Anna, today the National High School Graduation Exam is officially over.
5
I wonder if our Vietnamese Steve Jobs did well in English or not.
6
I saw many posts online.
7
Honestly, the English exam became a hot topic right after the test.
8
Some students said the exam was fair and better than last year, but many others said they did not have enough time.
9
Really?
10
I thought many students were waiting for English because the literature exam had already made them tired.
11
Yes, but English was not as easy as they expected.
12
Some teachers said the exam was actually good.
13
It did not use too many very difficult C1 or C2 words like before.
14
Most of the vocabulary was around B1 and B2 level.
15
That sounds more reasonable.
16
So why did so many students complain?
17
Because the problem was not only vocabulary.
18
The reading passages needed logic and inference.
19
Students had to understand the meaning behind the text, not just translate words one by one.
20
Ah, I see.
21
So the words may look easier, but the questions were still tricky.
22
Exactly.
23
Some students said, I knew the words, but I still didn't understand the passage.
24
That is the scary part of reading comprehension.
25
That feels very real.
26
Sometimes English is not hard because of one strange word.
27
It is hard because you read the whole paragraph and still ask yourself, what is this talking about?
28
And many students said they didn't have enough time.
29
Some people had only 15 minutes left but still had more than 20 questions to do.
30
Some students said the grammar part was okay, but when they moved to the reading passages, they started to panic.
31
I saw a funny comment online.
32
Someone said 50 minutes was not enough to think.
33
It was only enough to calm down emotionally.
34
In the exam room, when you look at the clock and still have many questions left, your brain can stop working.
35
So overall, was the exam good or bad?
36
I think it was a good exam, but not an easy one.
37
It was better than the 2025 exam because it was clearer and less full of strange high-level vocabulary, but it still separated strong students from average students.
38
So it had good classification, but students still complained a lot on threads and Facebook. Of course!
39
After 12 years of studying and so much pressure, complaining after the exam is very normal.
40
Some students just need it to release stress.
41
I agree.
42
If the test is hard, students have the right to complain.
43
But saying the exam is completely bad may not be fair.
44
But I feel bad for normal students.
45
If even students with IELTS 7.0, 7.5, or 8.0 said they struggled, then average students must have felt terrible.
46
Yes, I saw those comments too.
47
Some students joked that they wanted to burn their IELTS certificates after the exam.
48
Another student said they had IELTS 8.0 but still didn't understand the word relinquish
49
and didn't know what they needed to infer from the passage.
50
Relinquish is not an easy word.
51
It means to give up or stop having something, right?
52
Yes, but in an exam, even if you can guess the meaning, you still need to understand the whole context.
53
That takes time.
54
There is also the phrase opportunity cost, right?
55
Yes, many students ask what it meant.
56
It's an economic idea.
57
For example, if you have 100,000 dong and you can choose either a book or milk tea, but you buy milk tea, then the book you give up is your opportunity cost.
58
That explanation is simple, but in the exam room, when students are stressed, even a simple idea can become difficult.
59
Exactly.
60
Some students joked, I don't even understand it in Vietnamese.
61
How can I understand it in English?
62
Poor them.
63
Reading English mixed with economic ideas is not easy for many high school students, especially when students only have limited time.
64
If they stop too long on one concept, they may lose many questions later.
65
That is why time management is so important in English exams.
66
You cannot spend too long on one reading passage, even if it looks important.
67
And if the passage is heavy in logic, students may read again and again, then time disappears.
68
So this year's English exam was not full of impossible vocabulary, but it was heavy in reading, reasoning, and inference.
69
Yes, that is a fair summary.
70
It tested whether students could really understand the text, not just remember vocabulary lists.
71
That's good for education, but stressful for students.
72
Some students said they felt confident before the English exam because they were good at vocabulary.
73
But after seeing the reading part, they froze.
74
I understand that.
75
Vocabulary is only one part of English.
76
Reading also needs background knowledge, logic, and the ability to connect ideas.
77
So if students want to do better in future exams, they should not only learn word meanings.
78
They should also practice reading longer texts and understanding arguments.
79
Yes, they should ask themselves questions like, what is the main idea?
80
What does the writer imply?
81
Why does this detail appear here?
82
What is the connection between two sentences?
83
That sounds like real reading skill.
84
Exactly, and it's useful not only for exams, but also for university in real life.
85
But now the exam is over, they should not blame themselves too much.
86
Right.
87
Some students may feel sad because they didn't do as well as expected, but one exam does not decide their whole life.
88
And sometimes students feel worse because they keep reading online comments.
89
If they see many people saying the test was easy, they panic.
90
If they see many people saying it was hard, they panic too.
91
Social media after exams is dangerous.
92
Very dangerous.
93
It can be funny, but it can also make students overthink.
94
Maybe the best thing to do after the exam is to rest, eat something good, and stop checking answers every five minutes.
95
Yes, the exam is already finished.
96
You cannot change your answers now.
97
Taking care of your mind is more important.
98
I hope all 2008 students can relax now.
99
They worked hard already.
100
Me too.
101
Good luck to all 2008 students.
102
I hope you get good results and have a bright future after this exam.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
