That morning my mother woke me up earlier than usual. She urged me to get dressed and take breakfast quickly then tenderly took me to school. On the way to schook I met other children of my age accompanied by their parents to school. The nearer I came to the shool gate, the more nervous I became. Suddenly a strange feeling of fead and worry seized my heart when I saw the majestic elementary school in front of me and I felt like crying when my mother said goodgye to me and put some coins into my pocket. Never before had I been forced to separate from my beloved mother! But when I saw old pupils laughing and talking merrily I regained my composure. After the droll of a drum, we were instructed to stand in line to salute the colours and then go into our classes. A young and mild-looking teacher greeted us at the door. And in a gentle voice, he taught us the first lesson that we never forget! TEST 2 Your favourite hobby My hobby is reading books.

Instead of including myself in futile entertainments, o often absorbed in reading interestiong books which always have miracles to remove my sorrow and hardships and reveal to me strange and new horizons. TEST 3 Which season of the year do you like best? Why? I was born in Northern Vietnam, where there are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; Summmer is the season of nice holidays when we can enjoy lots of outdoor acitivities suh as picnickig, camping, swimming, fishing etc…. Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat of tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following reasons: During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time. The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a goreous coat of colours on nature. Autumn is such a wonderfuk season that many poems and songs have been Đáp án I. 1. b 5. d 9. A 13, c 17. B 2. c 6.b 10. C 14. B 18. d 3. d 7. D 11. B 15. A 19. B 4. a 8.
