 FOOD BUDGETING
 Five people tell us about different approaches to getting their weekly food shopping.
A. As a devoted advocate of "freeganism", I wholeheartedly embrace a unique approach to food budgeting that 
focuses on minimising waste and maximising resourcefulness. For me, it is a lifestyle choice aimed at reducing 
my ecological footprint while keeping my expenses in check. Instead of succumbing to the lure of consumerism, I 
actively seek out discarded food items that are still perfectly edible but have been put in waste bins nevertheless. 
Through activities such as collecting edible food from waste bins and participating in food-sharing networks, I am 
able to obtain a fantastic range of nourishment that would otherwise go to waste. My commitment to freeganism
requires a keen eye for understanding the difference between spoiled food and food that can be eaten, thus 
ensuring that I consume only safe and healthy provisions. By reframing my perception of waste and adopting a 
resourceful mindset, I am able to enjoy fewer limitations on the food I can eat. This approach also fosters a 
profound sense of belonging to a community of freegans who stay in touch with and support each other.
B. As a clever practitioner of the art of using coupons to save money on food - also known as couponing - I have 
honed my skills in the pursuit of effective food budgeting. Armed with a range of meticulously collected and 
organised coupons, I embark on my shopping ventures with a steady determination to extract maximum value 
from every penny spent. My tireless efforts in looking through newspapers, magazines and online platforms 
enable me to benefit from numerous discounts, special offers and promotional deals. With a discerning eye for 
strategic savings, I meticulously plan my grocery shopping list to align with the available coupons. By skilfully 
combining these tangible vouchers with ongoing store discounts, I am able to obtain as many price reductions as 
possible at the checkout counter. Such careful planning translates into tangible monetary savings that accumulate 
over time, enabling me to stretch my food budget far beyond the limits that would otherwise be on it.
C. The art of bulk buying has become my hallmark when it comes to smart food budgeting. By purchasing 
wholesale quantities of food, I am able to achieve substantial savings while maintaining well-stocked food 
cupboards. I recognise that economies of scale can allow me to secure essential food items, things that don't go off 
for a long time, and household necessities at significantly reduced prices. In my quest for the best savings, I 
meticulously compare prices and seek out wholesale suppliers, whether online or at brick-and-mortar 
establishments. By purchasing larger quantities of goods, I am not only able to negotiate better deals but also 
reduce the frequency of my shopping trips, which saves me both time and money. However, the rewards of my 
bulk-buying endeavours are, above all, enhanced cost efficiency and peace of mind. I know that my provisions are 
readily available at a fraction of the regular cost.
D. I diligently practise the art of shopping around to master the realm of food budgeting. Rather than succumbing 
to the convenience of shopping at a single store, I enjoy the adventure of exploring multiple establishments in 
pursuit of the best deals and the most favourable prices. Armed with a discerning eye and a carefully compiled 
shopping list, I make my way around the bustling aisles and vibrant marketplaces, adeptly comparing prices, 
scrutinising quality and weighing up the overall value offered. Through this relentless pursuit of amazing savings, 
I am able to capitalise on the dynamic nature of the food market. By keeping my finger on the pulse of prevailing 
prices and staying informed about discounts and promotions, I can artfully coordinate my purchases to secure the 
most advantageous deals. I am not only limited to physical stores but also love the convenience and accessibility 
 De-Thi.com Tổng hợp 13 Đề HSG Quốc gia môn Tiếng Anh THPT 2009-2025 (Có đáp án) - De-Thi.com
of online platforms. By making use of the internet, I can effortlessly compare prices across various retailers, read 
customer reviews and make informed decisions that align with my budgetary goals.
E. One effective approach to food budgeting is meal planning. This involves carefully designing and organising 
your meals for a specific period of time, such as a week or a month. This method allows you to make the most of 
your budget by efficiently utilising ingredients and minimising waste. When practising meal planning, start by 
creating a menu for the desired time frame. Consider the number of meals you need to prepare and the dietary 
requirements of your household members. Next, make a detailed grocery list based on the planned meals, taking 
stock of the ingredients you already have at home to avoid unnecessary purchases. Meal planning provides several 
benefits beyond budgeting. By having a clear plan in advance, you can shop for ingredients in bulk, taking 
advantage of cost-effective options and discounts. Additionally, it helps to eliminate the costs associated with 
impulsive purchases and minimises food waste, as you only buy what you truly need. To further improve your 
meal planning, consider incorporating versatile ingredients that can be used in multiple dishes. This allows you to 
stretch your budget even further and create diverse meals from a limited number of items.

IV. WRITING (6.0 points)
Part 1. Read the following extract and use your own words to summarise it. Your summary should be 
between 100 and 120 words.
Our obsession with taking photos these days cannot be denied. It is fuelled by social media and the need to 
document our experiences in order to remember them better. The question is: do we actually remember them 
better or do photos distract us from truly storing details of our experiences? The answer is not simple in that there 
are various aspects that shape a memory. These inputs require our attention in order to be encoded and stored by 
our brains as a memory.
While recent research does conclude that taking pictures helps us remember an experience, this is limited to the 
visual aspects of an experience and ironically it reduces the non-visual details of our memories. These findings are 
derived from a study that involved subjects participating in a museum tour while listening to an audio guide. Half 
of the subjects were given a camera and told to photograph the exhibit. Upon the completion of the tour, all 
subjects answered a series of multiple choice questions about the objects they had seen. Those who had cameras 
 De-Thi.com Tổng hợp 13 Đề HSG Quốc gia môn Tiếng Anh THPT 2009-2025 (Có đáp án) - De-Thi.com
recognised more objects compared to those without. At the same time, the subjects with cameras recalled less 
auditory information. Interestingly, researchers found that subjects with cameras had a better visual recollection 
than cameraless ones even for the items they had not photographed, suggesting that the intention to take pictures 
also sharpened their focus on visual details and improved memory of them.
In contrast, earlier studies had suggested that taking photographs impairs our ability to remember all details. The 
explanation is that we rely on the photograph and thus outsource the memory to free up space in our brains: a 
concept referred to as cognitive offloading. We intentionally forget the information as we no longer need to store 
it. This offloading can be extended beyond using cameras to computers and our cell phones. Basically, any gadget 
that we can offload our cognitive work to and reduce the demand on our brain can be used. Researchers now 
conclude that this is the case for factual information but it does not apply when it comes to experiences we want to 
photograph. These are meaningful to us and, as a result, we pay attention to the visual details of the experience 
and recall them better after the fact. The more visual input we focus on, the less auditory information we retain, 
explaining the poor recollection of these non-visual details.
