B. KỸ NĂNG
DO YOU KNOW?
ADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
•
If you like privacy, living in the country works well - particularly if your home is situated in a
remote area and you don’t have neighbors for miles.
•
The countryside is generally quiet and peaceful - certainly not as contaminated with toxic
pollutants as the city. There isn’t as much traffic or smog or pollution from industry.
• In the country, you have more space. If you want to build on your home, you have the room to do it. If
you want to construct a shed or a barn or an art studio, you have the room.
•
Outdoor aficionados may prefer the country because they have ready access to hiking, climbing,
bike riding, camping, fishing, hunting and numerous places where you can do just about anything that
you want.
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
Last week, Nick and some of his classmates went to the countryside. They went to visit a farm of Nick’s
uncle. They left early in the morning and went there by bus. Nick’s uncle, Mr. Brown, met them at the
bus stop and took them to his farm. Uncle Brown showed them the field of wheat and vegetables. At that
time, some tractors were running up and down, ploughing and breaking soil, distributing manure and
planting potatoes.

After lunch, they all wentfor a walk. In the large yard of the farm, they saw some farm machines.
Among them is the biggest machine which is called a combine harvester. They were told that this
machine can cut and thresh corn at the same time.
In the afternoon, they went to the place where cattle such as horses, sheep and cows were raised. They
were very excited to see how cows were milked by the workers there. Uncle Brown also spoke about
many interesting things in the countryside. After having some fruits and cakes, they said goodbye and
went home.

II - Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
As with anywhere, living in the country has its drawbacks. You may crave the open air and large plots of
land, but think about all of the elements before selling yourself on the idea of moving to the country.
Living in the country takes more time when it comes to planning activities and arriving at places on
time. When you live in the countryside, it may take you substantially longer than your friends who live
in the city to get places. Often you must leave earlier to get to events, including school or work.
Those who live in the country may have more problems when it comes to pests. Because you are
isolated from the city, you are more likely to encounter wildlife that could potentially prey on your pets.
You also are likely come into contact with more bugs or snakes, depending on your location. Be ready
for the critters if you are making a move to the beautiful countryside.
It can be easy for people who live in the country to become isolated. People often find it inconvenient to
drive into town. Likewise, their friends may find it bothersome to drive out for visits. This type of
behavior could potentially take a toll on your relationships if you let it come to that.

What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The countryside and its animals

DO YOU KNOW?
THE TAY ETHNIC GROUP
•
The Tay are the second-largest ethnic group in Vietnam, and you’ll find picture-perfect Tay
dwellings in Vietnam’s northern provinces.
•
Unlike the Hmong, most Tay settled in valleys where land is flat and fertile. Tay houses are
raised, made mostly of wood, and built next to rivers, streams, and lakes.
• Proximity to water has made wet farming an important component of Tay crop production, and wild
fishing is a common skill among the Tay.
• To learn more about Tay traditions, pay a visit to Ba Be Lake, six hours from Hanoi. Here you can
spend a few days in a Tay village, and learn fishing and boating first-hand from your host family.

The Muong have a population of around 1 million who live mainly in northern provinces like Hoa Binh
and Thanh Hoa. In a Muong hamlet, stilt houses shelter in the shade of big trees, huddle against the
mountain, and look out on vast paddy fields. A Muong house is designed to maximize convenient use
and air ventilation to counter the warm, humid mountain climate.
The Muong’s costume is special. Men often wear a round-neck shirt which opens in the front and has
two pockets. Their pants have large trouser legs. The Muong women wear a long, black dress and a
white shirt with a line of buttons in the front and long sleeves. They wind a white or indigo headscarf
around their head. The highlights of the Muong costume are embroidery on the dress hem and belt.
The Muong have diverse folk arts including folk songs and poems, tales, proverbs, lullabies, and riddle
songs. The gong is the most popular musical instrument along with the flute, the two-string violin, and
the drum.

According to legend, the first Vietnamese people were descended from the dragon King Lac Long Quan
and the fairy Au Co. The dragon and the fairy married and produced one hundred eggs, from which
hatched Hung Vuong, the first Vietnamese King.
The reality, unsurprisingly, is rather less poetic. The population of Viet Nam is an eclectic mix of
cultures, languages and religions, encompassing at least 54 ethnic groups. The majority of the country,
however, is dominated linguistically and culturally by the ethnic Vietnamese - also known as the Viet, or
Kinh - who make up nearly 90% of the population and are thought to have originated in an area now
occupied by southern China and northern Viet Nam.
The only areas in which the ethnic Vietnamese do not form the majority are the far northern regions of
the country, where a diverse collection of ethnic groups maintain lifestyles and cultures quite different
from the mainstream. These minority groups can often be recognised by their distinctive traditional
dress and unique local customs. The largest of these groups are the Tay, Tai, Muong, Khmer Krom, Hoa,
Nung and Hmong.
