PART A: READING

I. PRE- READING
1. Small talk:
a. Have you ever traveled to these places?
b. Do you like to make an excursion to one of these places?

c. What should you plan before travelling?
2. Situation:
Reading an excursion of Lan and her classmates through her
letter to Minh.


Dear Minh,
I’m writing to tell you a piece of news. The first term is coming to an end  soon and my 
school is going to have some days off. On this occasion, my class is visiting some caves 
near Hanoi as we have recently studied rock formations. Beside, many of us have never 
been inside a cave, so I suppose the trip will be very interesting.
At first, we wanted to travel to Thay Pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometres away, 
and we could go on a day excursion.
However, only today  have we learnt that the caves near Thay Pagoda are closed until 
after Tet. So we are visiting the ones near Huong Pagoda instead. A night  campfire on a 
two­day trip will be a great event in our schooldays! To make the trip cheap, we are 
bringing our own food and sharing buses with some other classes.
It is much warmer now. I believe we’re going to enjoy good weather with lots of 
sunshine.
The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents’ permission. They may not want to 
let me stay the night away from home. I’ll try to persuade them.
That’s all for now. Give my love to your parents and sister.

Yours, 
Lan
