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

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.

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

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.
