Students who are interested in reading and understand the historical and social context and the context of the text's creation will answer question I.3 and question I.5 well.

In particular, question II.2 with the requirement: "How to always find joy in school years" is very good, close to students. Overall, Hanoi's exam this year is very good, in addition to testing students' ability to read, understand, and create texts, it also has profound educational significance.
