READING
1. Read the following letter from Kim to her pen
friend, Jon.

Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture

Dear Jon,
Thank you for the letter and all your news. Well, in this letter I'll
tell you what I often do in my leisure time.
One thing I like to do is visiting museums. On Saturday
afternoons I love to visit Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture.
You know, this museum preserves sculptures featuring the
cultural and spiritual life of the Cham people. About 300 clay
and stone objects are on display at the museum. This museum
has the world's largest collection of Cham artifacts. Sometimes
I also visit Da Nang Museum. This is a new museum with about
2,500 pictures, documents and objects. You can learn about
history and people's life here. Next time you come, I'll take you
to these museums. I'm sure you will like them, and you will
learn a lot of interesting things.
Bye for now, (Kim)

Audio script:
LIFE IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE
According to a recent survey by Country Life magazine, about 80
percent of Britain's population dream of living in the
countryside. In fact the countryside of England today shows the
wealth of landowners and those who can afford to escape the
busy and noisy city life. English village communities are often
small and close. They are warm and usually welcoming. Maggie,
who lives in North Yorkshire, says: “Village life is wonderful and
safe for the kids. There is a great sense of community here. It is
more relaxing and you can't tell who has money and who
doesn't”. People in the English countryside use private transport
more, and the environment hasn't been spoilt much.

WRITING
3. Giving your opinion: Write a paragraph
giving your opinion about life in the
countryside. You may begin like this:

In my opinion/ I think life in the countryside has many good points.
Firstly, …
You may use the following cues:


people (friendly …)



life (peaceful, simple, slow …)



food (fresh, cheap …)



traditional activities (swimming in the river, kite-flying)

Sample writing 1:
In my opinion, life in the countryside has many good
points. Firstly, country folks are friendly than city
folks. Secondly, life is slower and simpler than in the
city. The food is fresher and the air is cleaner. Finally,
there are lots of traditional activities that we can do in
the countryside such as horse-riding, swimming in the
river or kite-flying. For these reasons, I like country
life.

Sample writing 2:
I think life in the countryside has many advantages.
Firstly, people are very friendly and helpful. We can
easily make friends with them. Secondly, the
countryside is very spacious. We can play, shout or run
around without disturbing others. Thirdly, we can go
swimming, go fishing, fly kites and do many other
interesting things. Moreover, life is peaceful and simple
here. It isn't as noisy and fast as it is in the city. The
food is very fresh and cheap here, especially vegetables.
Finally, there are a lot of traditional activities that I can
join. In short, if I have a chance to live in the country. I
think I will be very happy.
