Literature Exam 2025 |
Literature exam according to old program: There will be candidates who get 9.5 points
Commenting on the Literature exam according to the old program, Master Dinh Thi Thuy said that in the reading comprehension section, the exam used materials outside the textbook (the poem Nep nghia by poet Nguyen Duc Mau). The materials are thoughtful, awakening the reader's self-reflection.
In this part, questions 1 and 2 can be answered completely if you read the text carefully.
Sentences 3 and 4 require understanding and application skills to demonstrate reading skills in artistic texts.
In question 3, pay attention to the effect of rhetorical devices in emphasizing the content; expressing the writer's emotions and attitudes; creating aesthetic value for the poem...
Sentence 4: Students are proactive in expressing their own opinions and thoughts, emphasizing the need to be self-aware, aware of innovation, and reflective in order to live deeply, deeply, and sensitively to simple but meaningful things, to every moment of life.
In the social argument section, the issue is mentioned: The need to renew oneself. The issue is quite close to modern youth.
You just need to focus on the structure of the essay with Introduction - Body - Conclusion. The paragraph needs to clearly state: Renewing yourself will give us the opportunity to develop our individual abilities and strengths, which is a condition for individuals to live deeply, be aware of their ego; create connections and integrate with the community and the times. The paragraph is short, so you need to present it concisely, logically, with evidence, and with critical thinking.
The literary argument is not too surprising for teachers and students. The works in the Literature Textbook program for grade 12 students are all taught and guided to review carefully by teachers. Among them, the excerpt from the work A Phu's Wife. This is the best excerpt, crystallizing the value of content, ideology and art of the entire work.
Ms. Thuy believes that, with this literary essay, students focus on analyzing the changes in Mi's mood to see the manifestations of the latent vitality and fighting ability of poor workers in the face of injustice and oppression; the sympathy and love between workers in the same situation.
This teacher further emphasized that students need to pay attention to exploiting artistic elements to clarify the mood and beauty of the character's soul. From there, draw out the message, realistic value, humanistic value, and art of the excerpt, the work, and the author's talent.
It can be said that literary argumentative essays do not challenge or puzzle students. What is important is that they develop a complete system of ideas; exploit artistic elements associated with genre characteristics; and write with sincere and subtle emotions.
“With the 2025 Literature exam for students studying the 2006 program, students will complete the task and will certainly have truly convincing essays that touch the judges’ emotions. And there are candidates who scored 9.5 in this subject,” Ms. Thuy emphasized.
