Read the passage and answer the questions
Hi! I'm Monica and I'm 19 years old. I live in the capital of England, London and I love this town. There are many places to visit, so I never get bored. I love listening to music, so I often attend concerts and go to places with live music. Next to my house is a cinema, which I visit on Saturday evenings every weekend with my friends. Bus station and train station are also in the nearing, so I can easily commute to school. In Warsaw there are a lot of restaurants and café, so you'll never be hungry here. I really like shopping, so I often buy clothes in very big shopping malls.
Living in a big city also has a few drawbacks. Everywhere is a lot of people, especially in the subway. There is a lot of traffic and the air is very polluted because of car fumes. There are also a lot of attractions for tourists, for example, built in the 19th century: Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Madame Tussauds museum with wax figures of famous people.
I encourage you to visit London so that you can fall in love with this town, too!

Hồ Chí Minh City is in the south of Việt Nam. It's got a population of about 9,000,000 in 2019. It's very modern and the people are really friendly. There are many good amusement parks, shopping malls and buildings here. Vũng Tàu, Phan Thiết and Đà Lạt are some quite nice places not far from Hồ Chí Minh City.

Singapore or Kuala Lumpur? Which City Is Best for You?
Mary Clark, May 5
I recently traveled to two fantastic cities. Kuala Lumpur and Singapore have many differences but they are both great places to visit. So what do you do when you only have time to visit one? Here are some points to help you.
There is a lot to see and do in both cities. Kuala Lumpur is bigger and you might need to travel quite far to get to some attractions. Both have many shopping malls but Singapore has more amusement parks.
I think Singapore is more modern than Kuala Lumpur in some ways. The public transportation system is fast and comfortable. Malaysian buses and trains can be very crowded.
One of the best things about Asian countries is their food. Both cities have many tasty dishes, but in my opinion, food in Kuala Lumpur is cheaper. Now, you know the differences, which city is best for you?
1. Singapore is very different from Kuala Lumpur. => False
2. Kuala Lumpur has more shopping malls and amusement parks than Singapore.
3. Public transportation in Singapore is more modern.
4. Eating in Kuala Lumpur is cheaper.
a. Read the article and choose the best headline.

Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam. Over eight million people live in Hanoi and it is the second most populated city in the country. The weather is not as hot as in the south and the coolest time of year is from September to November. This is one of the best times to visit. Hanoi is one of the oldest cities in Vietnam and has a long and interesting history. You can see many beautiful traditional Vietnamese and French buildings around the capital. Hanoi also has the most universities in Vietnam and you will find students from all around the country studying there. Although some restaurants are expensive in Hanoi, you can eat great food for a good price. You should definitely visit Hanoi when you come to Vietnam.
