week. There was an accident with my car, and I had to spend some money to fix it on the spot. On 18th December, I had a car crash on my way to work. It was not serious, but the car’s electric system was damaged. So, I had to pay around $500 AUD on the spot. If I had not fixed it, I would not have been able to go to work.

Some students who were born in 2007 say that they can easily complete their Vietnamese literature graduation exam but they have to intentionally fail it because their parents are poor. What extent do you agree?
It has been reported that some students born in 2007 claim they are capable of passing their Vietnamese literature graduation exam but choose to fail intentionally due to their parents’ financial difficulties. This assertion raises important questions about the pressures faced by students and the impact of socioeconomic status on academic motivation. While I acknowledge that poverty can influence students’ attitudes towards education, I believe that intentionally failing an exam is neither a common nor a justified response.
