Listen to a talk about living in the countryside. Fill each of the gaps with no more than TWO words. You will listen TWICE. 1. beautiful 2. outdoor 3. next door 4. living standard 5. crime TASK 2: Listen to a talk about living in the countryside.// Fill each of the gaps with no more than TWO words. // You will listen TWICE.// Now listen and fill the gaps.// Living in the countryside is much better than living in a big city. You can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and spend lots of time outdoors. In the city, there is much less space for outdoor activities. What’s more, people in the countryside are generally nicer. It is common that you know everyone in your village, whereas in the city you may not even know your next door neighbour’s name. This is partly because people in the city are too busy with their work. In the countryside, the living standard is not too high, so there is less pressure to earn much money. Therefore, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Social safety is another advantage. Crime rate is normally lower in the country compared to that in big cities. This is particularly important for families with small children. All in all, living in the countryside is the best choice.

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. Here are some sentences about leisure activities. Rearrange the words to make meaningful sentences.
