Tạm dịch:

Một ngày trong cuộc sống của một nông dân

Tôi làm việc trong trang trại của bố mẹ tôi ở California, Hoa Kỳ. Trong thời gian thu hoạch, một ngày của tôi bắt đầu lúc 3h30. Tôi thức dậy, mặc một chiếc áo lao động, lấy một bình nước và ra khỏi cửa lúc 3h40. Tôi đi làm lúc 4 giờ. Tôi bắt đầu khởi động máy với Paul - người thợ máy. Khoảng 5h30, những người khác xuất hiện và bắt đầu thu hoạch, vì vậy tôi bắt đầu chạy xe chở nước. Lúc 12:00, mọi người dùng bữa trưa, và tôi có thể đổ đầy nhiên liệu cho tất cả máy gặt và máy kéo, đồng thời đổ đầy tất cả các bình nước. Vào buổi chiều, mọi thứ sẽ như cũ. Tôi thường tan làm lúc 7 giờ hoặc 8 giờ tối, nhưng vào những đêm chợ nông sản, tôi sẽ không rảnh cho đến 9 giờ, 10 giờ hoặc 11 giờ đêm. Mùa thu hoạch vào một trong những thời điểm bận rộn nhất trong năm. Điều thú vị là, nếu không phải là thời điểm thu hoạch, tôi có thể nghỉ một ngày và đi câu cá nếu thích.

Bài 2 :

Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.

However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a result, you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.

In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole, it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.

Visiting Family in My Hometown

Mar 29, 2022

Vy Nguyễn

Hi, everyone! Sorry didn't post anything last week I couldn't use my computer because wasn't at home.

I visited my family in my hometown. It's a small village in the country, about 200 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. My hometown is very different from the city. It's smaller, and it's much more traditional.

Here, the kids never play computer games, and they rarely watch TV. They prefer to play outdoors. They play sports and folk games. The girls love to jump rope and pick flowers. The boys love to play tug of war and soccer. I often play with the kids here, but I don't like to run around during the day because the weather is usually so sunny and hot.

I prefer to play chess because it's more relaxing than some folk games. My uncle and I sometimes sit down and play it under a tree.

What are your favorite activities?

London is the largest and most exciting city in the UK. It has 8.9 million people and the nation’s  best museums, galleries, and theaters. The pace of life in London moves faster than elsewhere in the UK. Since London has traffic jams, many people use the underground to get around more quickly. Therefore, when you travel to London, you need to plan more carefully than when visiting other British cities. Air and noise pollution in London is not as bad as in other capital cities. In my opinion, drivers in London drive the most carefully in the world!

I live in a small coastal town in Mexico. This town is excellent for families who want a peaceful lifestyle in a safe environment. The crime rate is 26% lower than other places in Mexico. My town has less traffic and hustle and bustle than the larger Mexican cities. Mexican towns are known for their history and culture and so is my town. For example, the Day of the Dead and Guelaguetza Festival are colourful and lively festivals in our town. The cost of living in coastal towns is low and my town is not an exception. Our family can live here for less than $1,000 a month.

READING

5. Read the text and tick (✓) the statements the author is likely to agree with.

(Đọc văn bản và đánh dấu (✓) vào những câu mà tác giả có thể đồng ý.)

I grew up in a small town in central Việt Nam. When I was a teenager, I couldn’t wait to leave for a big city. But after getting married, I now look forward to going back to my hometown every year. I miss the sense of community we had. I knew everyone, and they knew me. They would help me when I needed them, and we all enjoyed spending time together. We used to go to local festivals and play children’s games in the paddy fields. I loved flying kites and herding the buffaloes with other kids in the neighbourhood. Life was not stressful at the time. I hope that my children can experience the peaceful country life like I did.

1. All young people should spend time in big cities.

2. City people are generally friendlier than country people.

3. I enjoyed playing with my friends.

4. I like living in the countryside.

5. Traditional children's games were not much fun.

Bài 30 :

Cities - OLD and NEW

Some cities are very old and other cities are much newer. Let's read about an older city and a newer one in Japan!

KYOTO

Kyoto is a very old city. It is over 1,000 years old. It was the capital city of Japan a long time ago. Kyoto is a beautiful city with many calm rivers, and lots of parks with flowers, trees and lakes. It also has lots of famous temples and pagodas. Tourists always love visiting Kyoto and taking photos of the beautiful scenery. In fact, Kyoto's nickname is The City of Flowers.

TOKYO

Tokyo is the capital city of Japan. A long time ago, the city's name was Edo, but the name changed to Tokyo around 400 years ago. This 400-year-old city seems very new because people started living in Japan over 30,000 years ago. So, Tokyo is one of Japan's newest and most modern cities. It's very big with lots of skyscrapers. It's popular with tourists, too. They usually like going sightseeing, going shopping, enjoying the entertainment and seeing famous works of art in museums.

1. Read the texts and decide if the statements (1-3) are R (right), W (wrong) or DS (doesn't say).

(Đọc văn bản và quyết định xem các câu (1-3) là R (đúng), W (sai) hay DS (không nói đến).)

1. Kyoto used to be the capital city of Japan.

2. Tokyo is 30,000 years old.

3. Tourists prefer visiting Kyoto instead of Tokyo.
