C- Read the passage below and choose the best answer
Ngo Gia Tu High School: T-Nguyen Thi Quynh Hoa. English 10.
Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of American’s unusual literary figures. An individualist, he
rambled through the countryside seeing people and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a
living were varied : at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse, and a newspaper editor. He was a big
hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by caring for the wounded during the Civil War.
Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried
through to his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume,
“Leaves of Grass” a book which he revised and rewrote all the rest of his life. The book was ridiculed by some
poets and generally ignored by the others, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it
was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until
after his death, and it reached a high point in 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern

Dear Sir or Madam,
On March 10th, my friends and I arrived at your inn hoping to spend and enjoyable weekend. Since your ad
says “have a wonderful time or get your money back”, I’m requesting that you refund our money.
From the moment we arrived, there were problems with the service. First, a very unfriendly desk clerk couldn’t
find our reservation. After waiting almost half an hour, we were led by another unfriendly clerk to our room.
The room, which had a view of a parking lot instead of the bay, hadn’t yet been cleaned, so we found dirty
towels on the beds and cigarette butts in the ashtrays. This wasn’t the weekend we had been looking forward to.
Service at your inn was not always like this. My previous visits were always enjoyable because of the courteous
service and clean rooms with beautiful views.

I expect to receive my refund shortly.
Sincerely yours,
David James.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will(1-cause) a disaster. This is

competitions if he (10-is) unwilling.
Duc’s friend, Vu Hoang Duy, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they
set too high a standard for Duy. They (11-want) their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for
every piano competition held. They are very (12-unhappy) when he doesn’t win. “When I was (13-at) your age, I
used to win every competition I entered,” Duy’s father tells him. Duy is always afraid that he will disappoint his
(14-parents) and now he always seems (15-quiet) and unhappy.

covers an area of around 1,500 square kilometres with more than 1,000 named islands and several thousands more
unnamed islands.
Ha Long Bay is not only beautiful because of its big and small islands but also because of sets of natural caves and
grottos. From as early as the late 19
th
century, many Western tourists have set foot in these caves. Astonished at the
wonder of nature, they have given these caves and grottos strange and astounding names: Sung Sot (Startled) and
Ngac Nhien (Amazing). Ha Long Bay also attracts tourists from around the world because of its beautiful beaches.
In the months of summer, there are always thousands of tourists swimming, sun-bathing and relaxing on the beach.
