Fill each of the gaps, with no more than two words. You will listen TWICE. Now listen and fill the gaps. Travelling to Canada, tourists will find many interesting things. With a population of people from all over the world, the flavours from every continent can be found everywhere in Canada. Most of Canada’s large cities have a Chinatown and some, such as Toronto, have large communities of individuals from countries such as Italy. Restaurants serving regional menus from Thailand, Australia, China, Japan, Italy, France, India and Ukraine are extremely popular. Most places are very reasonably priced and serve extremely good quality food. Fast food restaurants and drive- thru’s are a common sight in Canada. Many international-brand restaurants can be found in Canada along with Canadian equivalents. Shopping in Canada is very good, especially in and around the major cities. There are a lot of huge shopping malls, all with a wide variety of stores ranging from small specialist shops to large department stores. The types of souvenirs that are typically Canadian, however, include Native Canadian jewellery and crafts, and of course maple syrup. (Dừng) Now listen again. (phát lại bài nghe) (Dừng) 2.

Write a paragraph of 100 - 120 words about the advantages that a person may have when learning English in an English speaking country. Sample writing When a person learns English in an English speaking country, he/she can have many advantages. First, he/she can learn with native speakers so they can learn the language naturally. Second, he/she can learn English in real life contexts, which is much more beneficial than someone learning English in a foreign country. Another advantage is he/she can have very natural accent or the native-like accent. This is what many people wish to have. Finally, I believe those people can also have native speakers as friends. Later on, when they come back home, they can at the same time maintain their English if keeping contact with those friends. For all the advantages I have mentioned above, I think one should go abroad to study English if they really have a chance. IV. LANGUAGE FOCUS 1.
