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. 1. The passage is about changes in the countryside. T F 2.

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.
4. 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.
