READING
Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B or C.
I was born in Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam. Ha Noi is famous for its natural beauty, with lots of rivers and lakes.
There are many historical places to visit in Ha Noi. The Literature Temple (Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam) is the country’s

first ever historical university. Teenagers often come here to pray for high results in their upcoming examinations. As
Viet Nam is a Buddhism-oriented nation, its capital has also been the centre of Buddhism for centuries. In Ha Noi alone,


there are about 600 temples and pagodas. It also has a big church in the city centre, a popular place for the few
Christians living here. With a population of nearly eight million, the city is quite crowded. However, the public
transportation is not adequate, so visitors find it hard to safely cross the roads. The city is packed with universities and
enterprises, making it the top destination for higher education students and labour workers. Many people from rural
areas reside in Ha Noi so that they can get well-paid jobs. This makes the city become more crowded than ever before.

VI. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below.
The ancient town of Hoi An lies on the Thu Bon River, 30 km south of Da Nang. It was formerly a major trading center
in Southeast Asia between the 16th and 17th centuries. Hoi An is famous for its old temples, pagodas, small tile-roofed
houses and narrow streets. All the houses were made of wood, and their pillars were carved with ornamental design. All
visitors to Hoi An are commended a visit to the Assembly Hall of Cantonese Chinese Congregation. This house was
built in 1855 and still keeps many precious objects that belonged to the Chinese community of Hoi An. Another
attractive address to tourists is Tan Ky House, which was conducted nearly two centuries ago as the house of a
Vietnamese merchant. The house now looks almost exactly as it did in the early 19th century. In recent years, Hoi An
has become a popular tourist destination in Vietnam. In 1999, it was certified by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage
Site.
