Bài 1 :

Read the passage carefully and answer the question.

Da Nang has a population of nearly 800,000 people. The Han River flows through the city. The city part on the east bank is the newest and more spacious. The city part on the west bank is more crowded. There are five bridges across the river. The Han River Bridge is the newest one now. The cost of living in Da Nang is the lowest in Central Viet Nam. Da Nang has many beaches. Among them, Non Nuoc Beach is one of the beautiful beaches in the world. But walking in the street on a summer afternoon is not a good idea in Da Nang. There are not many trees so there are not many shadows. It is often very hot at noon.

Bài 2 :

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Da Nang city lies in the Midlands of Viet Nam, from which Ha Noi capital in the north and Ho Chi Minh city in the south are almost equally spaced. It’s the fourth largest city in Vietnam.

Apart from some shopping highlights and historical sights, the main reason for most travellers staying here is its wonderful sceneries: My Khe Beach, Lang Co Beach, Hoi An and My Son. Da Nang city is also home to Ba Na Hills – a well-marketed brand of Da Nang tourism.

Da Nang is said to be ‘worth-living’ due to its refreshing and peaceful environment. Every evening, after work, you can easily catch the sight of families riding to the beach, leaving their motorbikes. They believe that their vehicles will still be there when they come back. There is also no beggar here and less traffic jams and pollution.

Another good thing is the food. If you love sea food, Da Nang will be the right choice. The food here is very fresh and the price is cheaper than that in Ho Chi Minh City.

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Sapa is a small, mountain town in Lao Cai Province. It is located about 350 km northwest of Hanoi, close to the Chinese border. Here's where you'll find the Hoang Lien Son range of mountains, which includes Fan Si Pan—the country's highest peak.

This quiet Vietnamese town is home to different ethnic tribal groups. There are five main ethnic groups in Sapa: the Hmong, Dao, Tay, Giay and Xa Pho.

The most prominent attraction in the area around Sapa is Fan Si Pan, which is the highest mountain in Vietnam. It's only 19km from town. Fan Si Pan can be found in Hoang Lien National Park. The park covers a picturesque mountain landscape and several forests, and serves as the habitat for a diverse set of animals. Some species can only be found in northwest Vietnam and are highly endangered. Nature lovers will truly appreciate this park. Other attractions that are part of the Hoang Lien National Park include the Cat Cat Village and the Ta Phin Village and caves.

In Sapa town, there's a small museum and a modest cathedral. Like most rural areas in Vietnam, there are no shopping malls in Sapa. Instead, shopping takes place at markets where locals buy and sell goods.

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!

Bài 7 :

Read the passage, and then answer the questions.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools everyday by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and come home later in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night, and during weekends. In summer evenings one enjoys the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer by circling A, B, or C.

Venice is a small city in Northeastern Italy, and about 75,000 people live there. Many people who work in Venice live in Mestre, a modern industrial city. Most people in Venice live in beautiful apartment buildings. Tourism is very important, and many people work in hotels and restaurants. There are also many art galleries and old palaces. People don’t drive cars or use roads. They walk or travel by boat on the canals. Tourists enjoy trips in small boats called gondolas.

Venice is a tourist city. Thousands of tourists visit the old city at Easter and at carnival time in February. Another popular festival is the Vogalonga in May. People row in small boats around the city, but it is not a race. People sit in cafes and talk, or they go to restaurants and enjoy local food. They also go swimming, but not in the canals!

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.

Tom Blake, June 15

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.

It was my birthday present. Mum and Dad took my cousin and me there. We arrived at the museum as it closed. First, we got out our sleeping bags and set up camp - right under a stegosaurus! Then, we got out our torches and went on a guided tour of the dark museum. It was quite scary! After that, we made T-Rex T-shirts, and a scientist gave us an informative talk. At midnight, it was time to sleep, but that wasn't easy because we were so excited! It was an unforgettable experience!

#1 New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries. It's a land of islands and mountains, lakes and rivers. The highest mountains are on the South Island. That's where they filmed Lord of the Rings. Aoraki/Mount Cook is 3,724 metres high! Most people live on the North Island, especially in Auckland, the biggest city. The longest river, the Waikato, is on the North Island too. It's 425 kilometres long.

What's special about New Zealand? Well, it's very far away from other countries. It's in the South Pacific Ocean, about 10,000 kilometres west of South America. And it's 1,500 kilometres east of Australia across the Tasman Sea. Another special thing is that there are only 4.6 million people but there are about 30 million sheep!
