I’m Hai Ninh. I really feel like leaving home but I’m only fifteen. My mum and Dad are so strict
(nghiêm khắc) they won’t let me do any of the things my friends do. For example, on a Saturday evening
Đề A
everyone goes to the disco but my parents says I have to be home by nine o’clock and the disco doesn’t
finish until twelve. It’s really unfair and everyone laughs at me and calls me a baby.
Also my mum goes into my bedroom when I’m at school and I’m sure she looks through my
things. When I ask her not to she says it’s not my house and I’m too young to have a private (riêng tư)
life.

-Đọc đoạn văn sau rồi trả lời các câu hỏi bên dưới:
We moved into our new house on a warm September day. It was not really a new house; it was a
hundred and four years old, but it was new to us. The house had running water, gas and electricity, but
for some reason there was no electric light in the kitchen. It was something quite unexpected: a house
with electricity but without a kitchen light. It was quite puzzling (bối rối) because our kitchen was a
large room, perhaps the largest in the house. I telephoned for an electrician. He came and fixed it for us.
