Reading Passage: A Journey of Perseverance ▶ Nghe Toàn Bài Đọc Many remarkable individuals throughout history have shown us that success is not determined by background or circumstance, but by perseverance and hard work. One such inspiring figure is Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the 11th President of India, who was also a world-renowned aerospace scientist. Born into a poor family in a small coastal town, Kalam had to work at an early age to support his family's livelihood. Despite facing severe financial hardship, his passion for learning never faded. He spent hours reading books and studying late into the night. His dedication paid off when he earned a degree in aeronautical engineering and joined India's defense research organizations. Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Kalam played a pivotal role in developing India's space and missile programs, earning him the affectionate nickname "People's President" and the "Missile Man of India". Beyond his scientific accomplishments, he was deeply committed to education. He spent his final years visiting schools and universities, inspiring millions of young minds to dream big and work hard to achieve their goals. His life story continues to be a powerful reminder that determination can overcome any obstacle. 3. Practice Test (Bài tập kiểm tra đọc hiểu) Question 1: What is the main idea of the reading passage?
