Choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best completes each of the unfinished statements or best answers the questions about the letter.

English is very interesting. It is not difficult to learn English well. However, it is important to find the most effective way to learn the language. I rarely look up new words in the dictionary, but I often try to guess their meanings in the reading. At first, I found it a little difficult because I could hardly understand everything that I read. But gradually I could get the general idea of th reading or the main information the reading passage gave. I never use an English-Vietnamese dictionary, instead I used an English-English dictionary, and this helps me a lot. In this way, I can use the new vocabulary correctly and naturally. I also keep my diary, and write short stories in English to improve my writing skill. As for listening, I listen to music and news programs boardcast in English on TV and on the radio. It is an interesting way to pratice listening. Modern equipment can help a lot in listening. For example, I use an iPod to record the news so that I can listen to it again and then I record voice and correct myself. I've joined an English-speaking club to better my speaking. I can make myself well understood when I speak to native speakers. I think in the future everybody in Vietnam can communicate with each other well in English.

Exercise 2. Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements that follow are True (T) or False (F).

Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to please everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.

There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to stay healthy and full of energy.

It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete, so you can (3) ______________your time.

Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have (4) ______________ that are specifically designed to allow students to study (5) ______________ get homework done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.

Third, pace yourself. If you don’t (6) ______________ your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to (7) ______________ more time to do homework.

No one is expected to (8) ______________ everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. But if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone (9) ______________ something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another (10) ______________.

Exercise 2. Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements that follow are True (T) or False (F).

Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to please everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.

There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to stay healthy and full of energy.

1. Nowadays, it is important to succeed at school. __T____________

Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, (2) ______and________ don’t be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete, so you can (3) ____plan__________your time.

Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have (4) ______libraries________ that are specifically designed to allow students to study (5) ______or________ get homework done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.

Third, pace yourself. If you don’t (6) ____finish__________ your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to (7) ______devote________ more time to do homework.

No one is expected to (8) ____understand__________ everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. But if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone (9) __explain____________ something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another (10) ____student__________. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
