In the literary argumentation section, the questions are very close and choose a very important text of the secondary school literature program and the requirements are light and simple. With this part of the test, candidates need to feel the two sources of nourishment in each person's life, the first is the family, the second is the homeland. The arguments are clear, if sticking to artistic signals such as poetic images, poetic language, poetic tone, students can develop to clarify the source of nourishment of each person.

Getting a high score on this test is not too difficult, because the reading comprehension part contains very basic knowledge so candidates can get full marks.

In the Social Argumentation section, the teacher has thoroughly reviewed the structure of the question and students can skillfully apply the structure of the social argumentation to solve it. However, special emphasis must be placed on the role of independence.

In the Literary Argument section, differentiation is shown in the skill of establishing a clear and tight argument, especially having to stick to artistic signals to perceive the content, avoiding the situation of paraphrasing or paraphrasing verses and lines.

In particular, in this topic, the poet Y Phuong's style is imbued with the mountainous region, so candidates must analyze to see the mountainous way of thinking and the specific, realistic image of the Tay ethnic poet.

Essay topics have coherent and unified thinking

Through studying this year's exam, teacher Van Huong believes that this year's exam is close and suitable for students: For the first time, the exam is built on a unified theme, both guiding students towards a humane lifestyle and helping students to have coherent thinking throughout the exam process. On the other hand, the exam classifies students in all questions, focusing on students' skills and knowledge, which will make students excited when taking the exam.

According to teacher Van Huong, this year's exam simultaneously implemented many "double" contents: In question 1, with a text outside the textbook about children's feelings for their parents, in addition to testing students' knowledge, the exam also highlighted the love and humanity of each student when doing the test. Through that, students need to show their responsibility to their parents, family, and homeland while practicing an independent lifestyle...

The social argumentative question is not strange in its way of posing questions, but it is not easy and still has differentiation. This is shown through the way the questions are posed, creating conditions for students to demonstrate their own abilities and demonstrate their argumentative writing skills.

As for the literary essay section, this is a typical work of modern Vietnamese poetry. However, to get a high score requires the ability to analyze and appreciate the poem of the student. The work "Talking to my child" by poet Y Phuong is very good, mentioning practical issues in family life and hometown, close to students.
