7. Now listen and fill the gaps. // Hans Christian Andersen achieved worldwide fame for writing innovative fairy tales. Many of his stories, including "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Princess and the Pea", remain classics. Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark, on April 2, 1805. While the Andersen family was not wealthy, young Hans Christian was educated in expensive boarding schools with the help of patrons. In 1819, Andersen travelled to Copenhagen to work as an actor. He returned to school after a short time, and began writing during this period. He didn’t start writing fairy tales until 1835. In 1845, English translations of Andersen's folktales and stories began to gain the attention of foreign audiences. His stories have been adapted for stage and screen, including a popular animated version of "The Little Mermaid". Around 1872, he started to show signs of the liver cancer that would take his life. Andersen died on August 4, 1875, in Copenhagen. (Dừng) Now listen again. (phát lại bài nghe) (Dừng) II. READING 1. Read the following folk tale. Circle A, B or C to answer each question. 1. C 2. B 3.

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. 2. Complete each of the following sentences using the cues given.
