Đoạn 1
Câu 1: S - nhà làm phim vĩ đại này This great filmmaker , RC - có nhiều thành công who has won countless records and prizes (...) V - cũng đã trải qua nhiều thất bại trong cuộc đời has also suffered from several failures in his life
Câu 2 + Câu 3: Cùng chức năng nêu khó khăn học tập ban đầu và kết quả thành công về sau Từ khóa: điểm cao không đạt được not able to get higher examination grades | bị đình chỉ ba lần suspended three times | theo đuổi đam mê following his passion and dedication | làm nhiều phim lớn creating great movies | giành ba giải Oscar won three Oscar awards
📌 Main idea: Spielberg từng gặp khó khăn trong học tập / thất bại ban đầu --> nhưng sau đó vẫn đạt thành công lớn trong sự nghiệp điện ảnh
Step 2: Compare options
A. Spielberg directed Jurassic Park and became wealthy ❌ Sai — ý này không tóm tắt đúng đoạn 1. Đoạn 1 nói về academic struggles --> later success, không tập trung vào Jurassic Park hay became wealthy.
B. Spielberg always had good grades and many awards ❌ Sai — trái hẳn với đoạn 1 vì bài nói ông was not able to get higher examination grades và còn suspended three times. → always had good grades ≠ nội dung bài
C. Spielberg won Oscars without any challenges ❌ Sai — đoạn 1 nhấn mạnh ông có several failures, học tập khó khăn rồi mới thành công. → without any challenges ≠ suffered from several failures
D. Spielberg faced academic struggles but later achieved great success ✅ Đúng — khớp đầy đủ với 📌 Main idea: đoạn 1 nêu điểm kém / bị đình chỉ --> sau đó làm phim lớn, thắng Oscar, thành công lớn
