Giải bài tập SGK Tiếng Anh lớp 12 Unit 4: Listening, Writing, Language focus
C. LISTENING
Work in pairs. Ask and answer the questions. (Làm việc từng đôi. Hỏi và trả lời các câu hỏi.)
- I'm' good at Maths and Physics.
- Certainly I enjoy Maths and Physics most as they are my favourite subjects. I find them
interesting because these subjects relate to all things which happen in my life and the nature, for
example the rule of expansion of solid substances,...
The subject I enjoy least is, to tell the truth, political education. At my age I think I cannot
understand any concepts or thoughts on it. Therefore I find it very boring. What ideologies or
political doctrines mean is nothing to our little mind.
