Traditional media such as printed newspapers and magazines has gradually declined in popularity, and 
digital media is attracting more and more users, and taking on a dominant role. Today, most people 
continue reading on a regular basis; however, their reading habits have changed. Many people are reading 
their favourite newspapers and magazines on their electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and 
smartphones. This has both benefits and drawbacks.
Printed and digital media can both have the same content, but digital media is usually faster and easier to 
access. In fact, the number of people buying a daily newspaper or magazine at stores has decreased 
dramatically. With the help of the Internet, readers can now access information that is updated instantly 
and receive the latest news from every corner of the world. In addition, electronic media doesn't use paper 
and is considered more environmentally friendly. Reading news online is generally free of charge, and 
can be done anytime and anywhere. Many news websites provide video reports or multimedia stories, so 
people can choose to hear, watch, or read news according to their preferences.

However, readers may face some problems as they read newspapers online. For example, an Internet user 
may be forced to watch or read all kinds of advertisements before getting to the piece of news he or she is 
interested in. Online adverts can be very distracting and annoying, and can make readers lose interest in 
what they are reading. In addition, many online publications focus much more on attracting viewers and 
followers rather than providing detailed or accurate information.
Nevertheless, digital media is an incredible source of news, information and knowledge, and its benefits 
outweigh the disadvantages.
 (Adapted from Global success)
Question 29. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The future of traditional and digital media B. Advantages and disadvantages of electronic media

TAPESCRIPT
PART 1: 
Mai (serious tone of voice): Good morning, everyone. Today, Nam, Mark and I are going to talk about fake 
news. This is a serious issue nowadays as the Internet has become a very popular source of information for 
everyone around the world. In Viet Nam, there were more than 72 million Internet users in 2022. This 
accounted for around 75 per cent of the country's population. However, as the Internet is getting more and 
more popular, I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the rise of fake news published online. Because 
 DeThiTiengAnh.net Bộ 8 Đề thi Tiếng Anh 12 Global Success giữa kì 2 (Có đáp án + File nghe) – 
 DeThiTiengAnh.net
it's so easy for people to post anything they want on the Internet, false information and fake news stories are 
very common online. This can be harmful to young people who can be encouraged to believe in dangerous 
views or actions, and change their behaviour. I think we need to take action and stop the spread of fake 
news. Do you have anything to add, Nam?
Nam (embarrassing tone of voice): Thank you, Mai. Well, my experience with fake news on the Internet 
was truly embarrassing. I saw a news story about a powerful earthquake that had injured people and 
destroyed houses in Central Viet Nam. I immediately shared the story and all the images with my friends 
and family, and even started planning a charity event. Some people laughed at me, but others were upset 
and angry with me as they had relatives in Central Viet Nam and were really worried about them. I wish I 
had checked all the facts more carefully. How about you, Mark? What's your take on fake news?
Mark: Well, I don't think we can stop the spread of fake news, but we should learn to avoid it. First, make 
sure the websites where the news item or image is published are credible. Such websites usually belong to 
government organisations or universities, and are updated regularly. Second, look to see if the story 
appears on other news sites that you know and trust. In addition, pay attention to the language. News 
stories that are full of spelling and grammar errors, and show bias are very unlikely to be credible and you 
should avoid using or sharing them. As long as we evaluate everything we read and we're careful about 
what we share on social media, we can protect ourselves from fake news. So I think there's nothing to 
worry about.
PART 2:
Nam: Excuse me, Ms Stewart. I'd like to know more about the home robots at the New Tech Centre.
Ms Stewart: No problem, Nam. I'll introduce you to Ally. It's the most advanced home robot using 
artificial intelligence to perform tasks.
Nam: So what can it do?
Ms Stewart: Well, it can see, hear, speak, and even interact with you. It understands several languages 
and can even teach you maths and science.
Nam: Wow, that's amazing. Does it run on batteries?
Ms Stewart: No, it's eco-friendly. It uses solar energy.

How The Younger Generation Consumes The News
In recent years, (21)____ researchers and older generations that younger people are disengaged from the 
news, leading to a limited understanding of the world. However, a study by the Media Insight Project 
(American Press Institute & Associated Press) challenges this perception. The research reveals that 85% 
of young people consider staying informed important, and 69% consume news daily.
The key difference lies not in a lack of interest but in how news is accessed. Younger generations, 
(22) , rely on smartphones, tablets, and laptops rather than traditional newspapers. A study by Ofcom 
found that 60% of young people in the UK use the internet or apps for news, compared to only 21% of 
older adults.
(23) . Most young people don't actively seek news on social platforms, but encounter it through headlines 
that pop up while browsing. (24) , it is not typically trusted for accuracy. For more serious topics, like 
economics or local crime, young people still turn to original sources, with television remaining the most 
trusted medium for reliable news.
Alison Preston, Head of Media Literacy Research at Ofcom, notes that the motivations for consuming 
news differ between generations. For younger people, news is about convenience and social interaction, 
while older generations view it as a duty or habit. (25)_____.

Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer 
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
[I] As the world grapples with the finite nature of fossil fuel reserves and the detrimental impact of climate 
change, the future of energy undeniably lies in renewable sources. [II] Scientists and engineers are making 
substantial advancements in the development of technologies that more efficiently harness solar, wind, 
hydro, and geothermal energy. [III] Although the transition to these renewable sources presents significant 
challenges, it is also regarded as a pivotal step towards establishing a sustainable and resilient energy 
system. [IV]
One of the most promising advancements in renewable energy is the enhancement of solar panel efficiency. 
Progress in photovoltaic technology has led to the creation of panels that convert a higher proportion of 
sunlight into electricity. Likewise, wind turbines are becoming more and more efficient. They are capable 
of generating power even under low-wind conditions. The future of geothermal energy is closely tied 
to technological innovations. Several key advancements are expected to drive growth in the coming decade 
such as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), Advanced Drilling Technologies and Closed-Loop Systems. 
These innovations are essential for making renewable energy more feasible and accessible to a broader 
population. However, the transition to renewable energy is fraught with obstacles. The intermittent nature 
of sources like solar and wind necessitates reliable storage solutions to ensure a consistent power supply. 
Although battery technology has seen significant improvements, further advancements are imperative to 
meet growing demand. Moreover, the infrastructure for distributing renewable energy requires 
expansion and upgrading to accommodate these new power sources.
The economic impact of transitioning to renewable energy is another critical consideration. While the 
initial investment in renewable energy infrastructure can be substantial, the long-term benefits 
include reduced energy costs and job creation in the green energy sector. Governments and private 
enterprises are increasingly acknowledging the necessity of investing in renewable energy projects, which 
is crucial for fostering innovation and diminishing reliance on fossil fuels.
Ultimately, the future of energy hinges on our capacity to innovate and adapt. By continuing to invest in 
research and development, improving infrastructure, and addressing economic and technical challenges, 
we can transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system.
 (Adapted from the Ha Nam Provincial Gifted Student Exam, 2023–2024)
26. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?:
“The shift towards renewable energy is seen as a necessary response to the global energy crisis.”
