Dear Grandma and Grandpa,               Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and I have always wanted to go to France and visit the many museums. We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful!

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

               Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and I have always wanted to go to France and visit the many museums. We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see more of the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we decided to see the churches in the morning (when the weather is cool), and the museums in the afternoon (because they’re air-conditioned). This allows us to get the most sight-seeing done during our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting outsite and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee. French coffees are so much more aromantic and stronger than the coffee we are used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower.

Love,

Freddy and Jill

Dear Oanh,

Thank you very much for your letter which arrived a few days ago. It was lovely to hear from you. I am sorry, I haven’t written for you such along time because I studied hard to pass the final exam. However, I had agreat weekend more than every when I went to live concerts last night with my friends. Now, I am writing to tell you how the wonderful concert is.

It is the beautiful concert I have ever taken part in with many people and the miracle of sound of piano. As you know, my pianist is Yiruma and in last concert I couldn’t believe that he appeared in my eyes and gave me a big hug after his performance. I also listen a soothing music which is played by him and other professional musicians. Only when I heard his song from the stage I feel anythings around me seem to disappear and I can fly with many stars on the sky to forget all my fears which I suffered before.

That is amazing.

Let’s come back to my live concert. It is so cool and until now I can’t forget my feeling about it. Do you often to go live concerts? What kind of music do you like listening to? Who is your favourite singer?

I am glad if you tell me about it in the next letter

I look forward to your reply

Your sincerely

Exercise 2: We had dinner at a new restaurant yesterday

Dear Oanh,

Thank you very much for your letter which arrived a few days ago. It was lovely to hear from you.

I think the restaurant which you told me in the letter is very interesting. I also like to eat out and I usually go to a restaurant for dinner with my family tiwce a month. Our favourite restaurant is a traditional restaurant in Hang Bong street. It is not big but it is always busy. There are only afew tables in the restaurant and on each table is a vase with lovely flowers. There are plants in the room corners. I usually order the traditional dishes and eat them with rice. For example, fish cooked with sauce, spring roll,…and vegetable and so on. The food is deliciuous so we enjoy it very much. The service is also quick and frienfdly . My family always have pleasant evening at our favourite restaurant.

Shall we go there when you come to visit my family next time?

See you next time.

Kính gửi, Oanh

Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì lá thư của bạn đã đến một vài ngày trước. Thật đáng yêu khi nghe từ bạn. Tôi xin lỗi, tôi đã viết cho bạn như vậy trong suốt thời gian qua vì tôi đã học tập chăm chỉ để vượt qua kỳ thi cuối cùng. Tuy nhiên, tôi đã có những ngày cuối tuần sôi động hơn mọi khi tôi đến buổi hòa nhạc trực tiếp tối qua với bạn bè. Bây giờ, tôi đang viết để cho bạn biết buổi hòa nhạc tuyệt vời như thế nào.

Đó là buổi hòa nhạc tuyệt vời mà tôi từng tham gia với nhiều người và sự kỳ diệu của âm thanh piano. Như bạn đã biết, nghệ sĩ piano của tôi là Yiruma và trong buổi hòa nhạc cuối cùng, tôi không thể tin rằng anh ấy xuất hiện trong mắt tôi và ôm tôi rất nhiều sau màn trình diễn của anh ấy. Tôi cũng nghe một bản nhạc êm dịu được chơi bởi anh ấy và các nhạc sĩ chuyên nghiệp khác. Chỉ khi tôi nghe bài hát của anh ấy từ sân khấu, tôi cảm thấy mọi thứ xung quanh mình dường như biến mất và tôi có thể bay với nhiều ngôi sao trên bầu trời để quên đi tất cả những nỗi sợ hãi mà tôi phải chịu đựng trước đây.

Thật là tuyệt vời.

Hãy để trở lại buổi hòa nhạc trực tiếp của tôi. Nó thật tuyệt và đến tận bây giờ tôi mới có thể quên cảm giác của mình về nó. Bạn có thường xuyên đi đến buổi hòa nhạc trực tiếp? Bạn thích nghe loại nhạc nào? Ai là ca sĩ yêu thích của bạn?

Tôi rất vui nếu bạn nói với tôi về nó trong bức thư tiếp theo

Tôi mong được trả lời của bạn

Thân ái

2. Chúng tôi đã ăn tối tại một nhà hàng mới ngày hôm qua

Kính gửi,

Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì lá thư của bạn đã đến một vài ngày trước. Thật đáng yêu khi nghe từ bạn.

Tôi nghĩ rằng nhà hàng mà bạn nói với tôi trong thư rất thú vị. Tôi cũng thích đi ăn ngoài và tôi thường đến nhà hàng ăn tối với gia đình tôi một tháng. Nhà hàng yêu thích của chúng tôi là một nhà hàng truyền thống ở phố Hàng Bông. Nó không lớn nhưng luôn bận rộn. Chỉ có một bàn trong nhà hàng và trên mỗi bàn là một bình hoa với những bông hoa xinh xắn. Có cây trong góc phòng. Tôi thường gọi các món ăn truyền thống và ăn với cơm. Ví dụ, cá nấu với nước sốt, chả giò, cuốn và rau và vân vân. Thức ăn rất ngon nên chúng tôi rất thích nó. Dịch vụ này cũng nhanh chóng và frienfdly. Gia đình tôi luôn có buổi tối vui vẻ tại nhà hàng yêu thích của chúng tôi.

Chúng ta sẽ đến đó khi bạn đến thăm gia đình tôi lần sau chứ?

Hẹn gặp lại lần sau

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

‘A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right.' These are the words of Mollie Hunter, a well known author of books for youngsters. Born and bred near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market. In Mollie's opinion it is essential to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing: 'If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed,' she says.

With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Molly is indeed an entertainer. 'I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,' she says. This love goes back to early childhood. 'I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said "Nonsense, Mollie dear, you'll be a writer." So eventually I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher - and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.’

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.

Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields - sadly now covered with modern houses. 'I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back,' she said. 'Never.' 'When I set one of my books in Scotland,' she said, 'I can recapture my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.'

To this day, Mollie has a lively affection for children, which is reflected in the love she has for her writing. 'When we have visitors with children the adults always say, "If you go to visit Mollie, she'll spend more time with the children." They don't realise that children are much more interesting company. I've heard all the adults have to say before. The children have something new.' 

What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a very young child?

A. She didn’t enjoy writing stories 

B. She didn’t have any particular ambitions

C. She didn’t expect to become a writer 

D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s views
