II. Read the following passage and do the tasks below:
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I
walk to school. It is three kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to
collect water from the river and feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers
often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The adults watch TV, but
more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run
around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our
home products like vegetables, fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets
me take a ride on the electric train in the town square. I love those trips.
On starry nights, children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each
other to find the Milky Way. We dream of faraway places.
