FOOD OF TYPICAL WET RICE COUNTRY
 Vietnamese sometime wonder how westerners can eat bread days after days but the vice-versa also
holds water. Most tourists coming to Vietnam are amazed at the omni-presence of rice and rice-related
dishes.
Rice is an object for worshipping in many temples of Vietnam. It is said to originate from the Mother
Godness Worshipping, the most long–standing belief in Vietnam. Yes rice is a big thing out here. The
very first written characters constituting the word “Happiness” in ancient Vietnamese is the image of
many rice plants and a square symbolizing a paddy field. Rice is not only happiness, it really forms
Vietnamese.
Accordingly, many main dishes and snacks in Vietnam are made from rice: boiled rice in daily meal,
rice porridge, steamed rice, glutinous rice cake, well-known Banh Chung (square cake) and uncountable
made-from rice dishes from every region in Vietnam.
Even the universal Pho that you definitely hear about is made from rice as well. Rice is the center of
everything, like a sun lying in the center of the whole solar planet.
Considering rice important, Vietnamese has been always developing their farming method and new
rice genres. Many Vietnam rice varieties exported to all over the world are renowned for their distinctive
flavor, yet only when coming to Vietnam and have boiled rice with soya sauce pickled egg-plants, your
adventure to Vietnam is considered perfect.

VIETNAMESE SNACKS
Vietnamese peasants used to have a lot of free time after the busy crop time past, and preparing some
nosh to eat is a certain result of the circumstance. Sweet potato is a prime example for the case. It is
considered the most popular nosh in the countryside. Ever experience Vietnam home-staying? You must
realize boiled sweet potato, cassava and peanuts are the most typically Vietnamese snacks - of course
without salt or sugar added.
And if you dare venture beyond the standard ones, there are surely bizarre things to try. The best place to
taste purely Vietnamese snacks is to have them right in a family or on the sidewalks along every street.
Tasting a fertilized egg at 4pm in a breezy afternoon may scare you, yet it is one of the most popular
snacks out here and is considered extremely nutritious.
Besides varieties of wonderful noodle, made-of-rice cakes, bean sweet soups you may be too shy to eat a
bowl of pig raw blood soups. Does it originate from Totem belief? Not many Vietnamese questions that
when eating the dish. All they want to do is to choose a right restaurant and wait to be served the raw
blood soups with Vietnamese spirit.

VI. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Travel and tourism are very important to millions of people over the world. In every country you
can find people that work in travel and tourism. Some countries need the money from tourism to
help their people survive. It is necessary for these places that travel and tourism continue to expand
and bring money to their regions.

However, travel and tourism have negative aspects. Planes, buses, boats and other means of
transportation that carry travellers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, some people do things
on a holiday they would never think of doing at home. For example, many traveller use a lot of
water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They forget to turn off the lights or even leave
televisions and air conditioning units on when they leave the room. On top of that, it is often
difficult or impossible for travellers to recycle items, so they end up leaving large amounts of
waste behind. That’s why it is important for people to travel wisely and respect the places they
visit.
There are ways you can travel and be environmentally friendly. Here are some tips to help you:
1. Don’t throw rubbish on streets, beaches or in the countryside.
2. Don’t use too much water or electricity.
3. Taste the local and national dishes of the country.
4. Buy local products or souvenirs.
5. Don’t buy any products made from endangered species; sea turtle shells or bags made from
reptiles or other animals.

or D.
My most favourite subject is English, which is today one of the most important languages
and it is spoken and understood In all parts of the world.
English has become an international language for a variety of reasons. One of the most
important of those is that the English people have been well-known for their knowledge of
science, medicine, engineering, government and all other matters that are useful for the progress
of the human race. It is thanks to the scientists of England that the motor-engine has become
the .most important machine in the world today.
The thirst for knowledge of the English scholars has contributed to the progress of man in
almost all fields of his activity. Thousands of books have been written by such scholars on almost
every subject that one can think of. Thus, people whose mother tongue is not English have learnt
English with great interest as a means of acquiring knowledge of all human affairs.
As a result of this interest, English is used almost everywhere m the world. It is used in all
the important meetings and conferences in the United Nations. It is also used in all leading
universities in the world and in international trade and commerce. As it is used so widely, English
has indeed become a very rich language. People of all the countries of the world have contributed
new ideas and thoughts to this language. Thus, more and more new words are being created to make
this language more and more useful for the communication of ideas and information among the
peoples of the world.

2. Read the text and answer the questions.
In countries like the United Kingdom, the USA, and Australia people speak English as a
first language. But they don't speak exactly the same English. English sounds different in these
countries because people use different pronunciation and there are different word for some things.
Americans don’t say “football”, they say “soccer”, and they say “movie”, not “film”. Some
Australians say “G’day”, not “Hi”, and they don’t say “this afternoon”, they say “this arvo”. In
some countries, for example India and some African countries there are a lot of different
languages, so people use English as the official language.
In countries where English isn’t a first language, people speak it as a foreign language.
People want to study English because it’s an international language; it’s in films, magazines and
pop songs. A lot of people, especially scientists and business people, use English when they work,
travel or use a computer.
About 80% of the information on the Internet is in English. A lot of people communicate
on the Internet in English too. Some people write a different type of English when they
communicate in chat rooms or by instant messages like MSN. They use words like “uok”, “thnx”
and “cul8r”. These words are faster to write than “Are you OK?”, “Thanks” and “See you later”!

C.READING
1. Read the following passage and then choose the best option A, B, C or D OUTER
SPACE
From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water cove three-fourths
of the Earth's surface, blue is the colour we see most. The continents look brown, like
small islands floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds wrap around the Earth like a light
blanket. The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would
take more than year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the
widest part of the sphere in only 90 minutes.
Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon
without special suits. The Moon has no air or water. Plants and animals can't live there
either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that, there were six more trips to
the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still studying. There are
holes, or craters, all over the Moon's surface. Scientists believe that meteorites smashed
into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.
The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun
looks very big because it is so close. But the sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of
far-away stars are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot
that they warm the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always
glowing, the night here on Earth is dark. That's because the Earth rotates, or turns around,
every 24 hours. During the day, the Earth faces the sun. Then we see light. During the
night, the Earth turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space. Each day we
learn more about the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun.
1. Why is blue the colour we see most when looking at Earth from outer space? A. Because
most of the Earth is covered land.
B. Because the Sun's rays make the Earth look blue.
C. Because most of the Earth is covered in water.
D. Because clouds wrap around Earth.
2. Scientists believe that meteorites smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed
the craters. What does "formed" mean?
A. hit B, made C. broke D. stopped

22
 3. What is a star?
A. A star is a hot ball of burning gas
B. A star is a hot ball of gas.
C. A star was a luminous ball of gas
D. A star was luminous ball of burning gas.
4. What causes daylight on Earth?
A. The full Moon causes daylight.
B. Daylight is caused by the Earth facing away from the Sun
C. The heat of the Sun's rays causes daylight.
D. Daylight is caused by the Earth facing toward the Sun.
5. Which of the following sentences BEST describes the Sun?
A. The Sun looks small because it is so far from Earth
B. The Sun is a ball of burning gases that gives the Earth heat and light
C. The Sun a small star.
D. The Sun is not as hot as it looks

2. Read the following passage and then answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.
Have you ever heard someone use the phrase "once in a blue moon?" People use this
expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say
that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate "once in a
blue moon." Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say "I visit the shore
once in a blue moon." While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning
behind it. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an
expression. The phrase "blue moon" actually has to do with the shape of the moon, not the colour.
As the moon travels
around the earth, it appears to change shape. we associate certain names with certain shapes of the
moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A
crescent a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is
called a new moon. When we can see the entire moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is
only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month.
When this happens, the second full moon is called a "blue moon.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a
very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression "once in a blue moon" to describe
other very rare events in their lives.
1. Which of the following would be a good example of someone doing something "once in a
blue moon"?
A. Mary likes go to the mountains every weekend. Mary goes to the mountains once a blue
moon.
B. Tom rarely remembers to take out the trash. Tom takes out the trash once in a blue
moon.
C. Cindy hates to wash the dishes. Nevertheless, she does it every day. Cindy washes the
dishes once in a blue moon.

23
 D. Ming sometimes forgets to do his homework. Ming forgets to do his homework once in
a blue moon
2. When does blue moon happen in nature?
A. When there are two full moons in one month.
B. When the moon has a blue colour.
C. When we cannot see the moon at all.
D. When we can only see a small part of the moon.
3. Using the passage as a guide, it can be understood that which of the following sentences
does not contain an expression?
A. Thomas has lost his mind.
B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
C. I’ll mow the grass after I finish my homework.
D. It's never a bad time to start something new.
4. In the final paragraph, the author states: "over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue
moons." This means that over the next 20 years, a blue moon will happen
_____________________
A. once a year.
B. less than once a year.
C. more than once a year.
D. not enough information is provided
5. In the final paragraph the author writes, “As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare
event.” The purpose of this statement is to _________________.
A. answer an earlier question
B. provide an example
C. support an upcoming conclusion
D. challenge a previous statement

3.Read the passage and then answer the questions.

Earth is just one of the planets our solar system. Planets are large bodies that rotate around
the sun .They reflect its light and warmth. The planets that are located closest to the sun are
made out of rocky material. They are relatively small and heavy. In contrast, the planets that
are farther away from the sun are much larger. They are formed of light gases. All planets
follow a certain path around the sun. They are held a specific distance from the sun by the
sun's strong gravitational force.
The inner planets, or those closest to the sun, are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Even
though these planets are all small and rocky, they have more differences than they have things
in common.
Because Mercury is the closest to sun, the side that faces the sun gets as hot as 427 0
Celsius. At the same time, the side that faces away from the sun is a freezing -173 0 Celsius.
Mercury also has a slower rate of rotation than Earth. Days and nights on Mercury are much
longer than ours. The extreme temperatures alone make it a very unlikely place for life. With
an atmosphere too thin for human breathing, it's obvious that people won't be living on
Mercury any time soon.
24
 The next planet from the sun is Venus. Below clouds of sulfuric gas lies its 96% carbon
dioxide atmosphere. That might be nice for a plant, since a plant "breathes" carbon dioxide,
but not for a person. If you managed to survive the atmosphere, the surface of the planet is hot
enough to melt solid metal. In addition, the pressure of the air would be strong enough to crush
you. You are probably most familiar with Earth because it is your home planet.
It has the perfect conditions for life. Earth's atmosphere and oceans help control the trickiest
part of making a planet life-friendly: temperature. Earth is the only planet known to have
liquid water.
Mars is the fourth farthest from the sun. Mars has been studied and photographed more
than any other planet besides Earth. Some people think it may be possible for life to exist
there. Although scientists have not been able to find actual water on Mars, there seems to be
evidence of water erosion on its surface. Its canyons and mountains are very similar to those
found on Earth. The main difference is that there no plant life. Some scientists believe that
Mars may have been very much like Earth until something happened that made the water
supply evaporate.

I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the skills I
learnt in my college. I have recently completed a 16-week part-time accounting course (AAT
Level 2Certificate).  The course covered book-keeping, recording income and receipts and basic
costing. We used a wide range of computer packages, and I picked up the accounting skills easily.
I was able to work alone with very little extra help. I passed the course with merit. I believe my
success was due to my thorough work, my numeracy skills and my attention to detail. During the
course, I had experience of working to deadlines and working under pressure.  Although this was
sometimes stressful, I always completed my work on time.
Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practised my skills in a
business setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so.  I am particularly looking for a
job in a small company such as yours, as I believe I will be able to interact with a wider range of
people, and as a result, learn more skills.  I would like to progress within a company and gain
more responsibilities over the years.
Although I do not have work experience in finance, I have experience in working in an office
environment.  Before starting the accounting course, I worked for 6 months in a recruitment office
as a receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and visitors, taking phone calls,
audio and copy typing and checking stock. I also had to keep the petty cash and mail records. 
34
Through this work, I developed my verbal and written communication skills. I had to speak
confidently to strangers and deliver clear messages.  I enjoyed working in a team environment.  I
believe the office appreciated my friendly manner and efficient work.
