Students must have the ability to read and understand the 10th grade literature exam.
Teacher Thai Hong Khang commented that for part 1, the reading comprehension part is a poetic text with a topic close to the students. However, in order to solve the requirements, students need to apply reading comprehension skills specific to the genre by identifying words and clearly stating their understanding through explanation.
For part 2, the reading comprehension of argumentative texts is the basis for students to understand the correct meaning of the word "know how to read" to express their own opinions through the use of familiar types of exercises that they have become familiar with in grades 6, 7, and 8 when the topic requires students to give their opinions, evaluate, and analyze a certain issue in literature or life. To do well in writing social argumentative essays, students need to clearly identify the problem, build a strong argument, use appropriate evidence, and present the essay in a coherent and convincing manner.

If candidates do not read the question carefully, they may stray from the topic and end up discussing reading or maturity.
However, teacher Thai Hong Khang also assessed that with this 10th grade literature exam in Ho Chi Minh City, if students only read it quickly, do not read the question carefully, do not analyze it in depth, it is very easy for the essay to go off topic. Students need to pay attention to the connection in the exam, must read the text in the question carefully to do it correctly, on point, and not deviate to other requirements.
In part 1, candidates must have the ability to read and understand poetry. The reading comprehension of part 1 will be the basis for students to write sentences and paragraphs of part 1.
Next, in part 2, students need to read and understand an argumentative text. Question 1 of part 2 is quite easy. However, students need to pay special attention to question 2, which requires writing a social argumentative essay.
"Students who read the argumentative text carefully will fully understand the meaning of the word "know how to read", and from there will have a direction for the social argumentative writing so as not to go off topic. Currently, students may digress into two issues, either discussing the role of reading, or digressing into agreeing with the opinion that "people need to be mature", said teacher Thai Hong Khang.

A male literature teacher at Hoang Dieu Secondary School, Tan Phu District, assessed that the social argumentative writing format in the exam was not too difficult, and that students had been familiar with it since grades 6, 7, and 8. However, the issues in this exam were also assessed by teachers as being quite broad. If students only read it carelessly and vaguely, they would not be able to narrow down the issues that need to be discussed here, and from there it is easy to get lost in writing about the role of reading, the role of maturity.
However, if students read carefully the argumentative text, they will understand that "knowing how to read" - the two words "knowing how to read" are in quotation marks - here means reading in thought, reading in perception, reading in feeling. That is reading the truth after the false sweetness, reading the love after the anger, reading the right and wrong after the chaos...
Reading the argumentative text in the question carefully, students will understand that sometimes their feelings about real-life problems can be obscured for a number of reasons, such as being caught up in the cycle of life, because sometimes they are obscured by people who live in lies and insincerity... When we can see through the truths behind the "shells" on the outside, we will truly mature. We need to truly mature so that our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions encompass good things, see through the hidden things behind, and not let negative issues in society affect us, then we will truly mature. That is what the person who created the question meant.
According to teacher Thai Hong Khang, for the 10th grade literature exam in Ho Chi Minh City, if any student has a good grasp of the test-taking skills, they can get a good or excellent score. As for students who only have a basic grasp, the average score is around 6.5 points.
What do students say?
This morning, at the exam site of Suong Nguyet Anh Secondary School, District 8, student Tran Hua Vi Q. said that this exam was more difficult than the sample exam of the Department of Education and Training. She predicted about 6 points for this exam.

Student Nguyen Huynh Th.Y., Chanh Hung Secondary School, District 8, commented that the question of writing a social argumentative essay is quite broad, and if you don't read the question carefully, you might be confused. "I gave some evidence of my own "reading ability" on the journey to adulthood, such as knowing how to select information, recognizing bad, toxic, and untrue information on social networks; knowing that teachers and parents are sometimes hot-tempered and strict with students, but behind it, they want their children to grow up, be obedient, and learn many good things," the female student said.
More than 76,000 candidates in Ho Chi Minh City officially took the 10th grade exam this morning. They took the test in 120 minutes. This is the first year that candidates took the 10th grade exam according to the 2018 General Education Program, with many innovations in the exam. In particular, the exam cannot use materials from textbooks.
