Hi Mary,
I'm in the Canadian city of Montreal with my brother. It's a fantastic city. My
aunt lives here and we're with her for a week.
Montreal is a very interesting place. It's the biggest bilingual city in the world
– a lot of people speak English and French. People speak to me in French in the
shops, but when I don't understand they speak in perfect English. My brother
speaks French fluently. He uses his French every day but he doesn't understand
some Canadian French words.
Montreal is very friendly and there are people from many different countries.
We go to Italian cafés in the "Little Italy" part of the city or to Chinese restaurants
in the "Chinatown" area. My favourite place is Mount Royal Park – it's got an
amazing view of the city.
Lots of love,
Sally

ANNA
I work in a fairly traditional office environment doing a typical nine-to-five job. I
like my job, but it's annoying that my commute to work takes an hour and a half
each way and most of my work could really be done online from home. But my
boss doesn't seem to trust that we will get any work done if left to our own
devices, and everyone in the company has to clock in and out every day. It's
frustrating that they feel the need to monitor what we do so closely instead of
judging us based on our task performance, like most companies do these days.
LUCY
I used to do a typical five-day week, but after I came out of my parental leave, I
decided that I wanted to spend more time with my children before they start
school. After negotiating with my boss, we decided to cut my working week down
to a three-day work week. This of course meant a significant cut in my pay too,
as I'm paid on a pro-rata basis. I've since noticed, though, that my workload
hasn't decreased in the slightest! I'm now doing five days' worth of work in three
days, but getting paid much less for it! I find myself having to take work home
just so that I can meet the deadlines. It's wearing me out trying to juggle work
with looking after my children and my family, but I don’t dare to bring this up with
my boss because I think he feels as if he's made a huge concession letting me
come in only three days a week.
LOUIS
I work for a global IT company, but because their headquarters is in the States,
I do all my work online from home. That means that I don't waste time commuting
or making idle chit-chat with colleagues. I work on a project basis, and this
flexibility is very valuable to me because it means that I can easily take some
time off when my children need me to go to their school performances or if I need
to schedule an appointment with the dentist. The downside is that without clear

18
 Giáo Viên Chuyên Anh - Thầ y Bùi Văn Vinh - 0988.333.599

office hours, I tend to work well into the evening, sometimes skipping dinner to
finish a task. It can also get quite lonely working on my own, and I sometimes
miss sharing ideas with colleagues.
LILY
I'm a freelancer and work for myself. This is great because I am in control of what
I do and how I spend my time. At first, I was working from home, but I found it
really hard to concentrate. There were just too many distractions around:
housework that needed doing, another cup of tea, my family members wanting
my attention for various things. So I started to go to a nearby café to work, but
the Wi-Fi connection wasn't ideal and I found myself drinking too much coffee.
In the end, I decided to rent a desk in a co-working space with five other
freelancers like myself. I liked getting dressed to go to work in the morning and
being able to focus in an office environment. The other freelancers do similar
kinds of web-based work to me and so it's nice to have workmates to bounce
ideas off as well.

Teenagers
Teenagers today are undergoing lots of changes. They are between the ages of
13 to 19. Many of them are undergoing physical and emotional changes. These
are the stages in teenagers that are unavoidable.
The teenage life is full of happiness, sadness, enjoyment and it can be interesting
too. This is because in teenage life, a teenager is subjected to physical growth,
hormonal changes and even dilemmas. They may be in a stage of conflict like
undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.
Making friends is part and parcel of a teenager's life. The teenager should enjoy
life by making friends with peers and participate in healthy activities such as
camping, picnic, kayaking, swimming and so on. Through friends, a teenager
learns to joke, laugh and play to release stress and tension. By making friends,
the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys and even eases the bitterness of
life's downtime.
Many teenagers are very conscious of their physical outlook. It is at this part of
their life that beauty strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up with
the latest trends for dressing, hairstyle and even look good with their physical
image. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to slim down in order to look
attractive. Others may suffer from acne and pimples that may scar their external
beauty.

II. Read the following passage and then decide whether statements are true
(T) or false (F).

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the
majority of countries around the world. Substantial differences are evident
between the way we live today and the way we lived a century ago. Vietnam is
no exception although there are some aspects of life in Vietnam that are similar
to the way of life of the 20th century. Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from
the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past mainly worked in agriculture,
whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in this sector of the
economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in
manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam, which was
traditionally agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different country. While
agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other
enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.

However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have
kept many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are
as friendly today as they were in the past. This is best illustrated in the way they
welcome foreigners. Moreover, the determination of the people of Vietnam has
not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the
development of their country. To conclude, while there are differences in past
and present lifestyles, there are important similarities. Although Vietnam has

27
 Giáo Viên Chuyên Anh - Thầ y Bùi Văn Vinh - 0988.333.599

changed in many ways, there always have been, and always will be, the friendly
welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

______ 1. Vietnam has transformed from a traditionally agricultural country into

one where other enterprises are becoming more prominent.
______ 2. The text states that the majority of people in Vietnam today work in
agriculture, just as they did 100 years ago.
______ 3. The Vietnamese people have retained their friendliness, as seen in how
they welcome foreigners.

28
 Giáo Viên Chuyên Anh - Thầ y Bùi Văn Vinh - 0988.333.599

______ 4. The text mentions that although lifestyles have changed, the
determination of the Vietnamese people to work towards the development of their
country has remained the same.
______ 5. The text claims that Vietnam has completely abandoned its agricultural
roots in favour of industrialization and tourism.
