V. READING
1. Read the passage and decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (F). Circle
T or F.
In the past few decades, the countryside has experienced lots of changes. Because of
population growth, more products are needed. Therefore, more factories have been constructed,
and young people have more choice of jobs apart from becoming farmers. When big cities have
become more and more polluted, the fresher atmosphere in the countryside attracts more people.
Rich people who live in the city for their work often buy a second home in the countryside to
spend their weekend and holiday. As a result, the countryside is no longer a small community of
rural people. In fact, in many parts of the countryside, there are urban people from nearby cities.
Additionally, the introduction of the internet creates more opportunities for increasing rural
people's knowledge. Many farmers have used machines for tasks that used to be done by hand,

which helps them save labour. In the near future, it is expected that the countryside will gradually
become more similar to big cities.

VI. WRITING
1. Write a short paragraph (80-100 words) to express your opinion on the following
idea:
I agree that the ethnic minorities should learn the Viet’s language for some reasons. First, they live in the
same country so they really need a common language to communicate. Because the Viet account for more
than 80 per cent of the population, if every ethnic group could speak the Viet’s language, all groups would

be able to exchange cultures and traditions more easily. Moreover, the Viet have more opportunities to
exchange with the outside world so they update information and knowledge faster. If ethnic groups could
speak the Viet’s language, I think they could also read news in Vietnamese and widen their knowledge
faster. Those are the reasons why people from ethnic minorities should learn Vietnamese.
