ĐỀ KIỂM TRA CHẤT LƯỢNG ANH VĂN – ĐỀ 22
The first spark of love (1) _______ Lenin was dropped in my heart by our teacher.
There were about thirty of us – children of eight to thirteen – in a small room. We were all first – year
pupils : in (2) _______ days children went to school when they felt like it. Our teacher, Rabiga, gave each of us two
exercise – books and a pencil and said : “ Children, this is an exercise – book, and this is a pencil. Lenin is giving it to
you”
I took my exercise – books and looked at them, (3) ________ astonished. One had a portrait on the cover. And
from the wall opposite, the same man in a peaked cap smiled down at me. The portrait on the wall (4) ________ to all
of us. But now I had my own Lenin, a Lenin who belonged only to me.
There are many “ Lenin’s houses” in the world. I would like to tell you about one of them It happened in
Vietnam the year (5) ________ the year with the French had ended. We came to a small village five miles from Vinh.
The villagers invited us to their homes, gave us a cordial welcome, and showed honours on us . They told us how they
lived and worked. Then they took us to the most important and most respested building in the village – a temple.
However it turned out that they had not brought us there to meet the saints, but rather to (6) _________ us something
new in their lives.
The major part of the temple had been converted into “ Lenin’s room”. In a corner, there was a portrait of a
man very like Lenin, (7) _________ features yet were slightly Vietnamese in cast : the wall was hung with posters,
and round a table young people sat reading books, newspapers and magazines .
“ What is it ?” I asked the man from Hanoi, who accompanied me on my trip. “ Have they declared Lenin a
saint, and brought his portrait into the temple ?”
“ Oh, no” he said. “ This temple wasn’t built by saints, nor was it saints who brought stone images of the gods
here. It was alll done by people. Ordinary people. These same people brought Lenin’s portrait here, and wrote his
words (8) ________ posters, and they read his books. No, people do not come here to pray: they come to learn and for
advice”.
“ Still, it’s strange : Lenin’s room in a temple ”
“ It may seem strange to you , but we don’t find it strange. Here, the Vietnamese solve not only religious but
also everyday problems. And Lenin is now our chief adviser on those problems. People are more concerned about this
world than the next.”
I was silent for sometimes, thinking “ Here, at the world’s end, in a hut roofed over with coarse matting,
sunburnt boys and girls sit on a sand floor, writing his name on paper (9) _______ the first time in their life, just as we
once did. They link all their hopes and aspirations with Lenin. I want to say to these children : believe, dream, hope.


All dreams linked with Lenin and his cause must come true. As our dreams have ”
“ This is an exercise – book, and this is a pencil”, Rabiga said. “ Lenin is giving them to you ”
Many, many years later, I understood that exercise – books become so covered with writing that it is
impossible to write (10) _________ them anymore, and pencils become so worn down to short stubs. But the word that
Lenin opened up and bequeathed to us is eternal.
