C- Read the passage below and choose the best answer
Ngo Gia Tu High School: T-Nguyen Thi Quynh Hoa. English 10.
Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of American’s unusual literary figures. An individualist, he
rambled through the countryside seeing people and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a
living were varied : at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse, and a newspaper editor. He was a big
hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by caring for the wounded during the Civil War.
Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried
through to his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume,
“Leaves of Grass” a book which he revised and rewrote all the rest of his life. The book was ridiculed by some
poets and generally ignored by the others, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it
was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until
after his death, and it reached a high point in 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern
poets.

Dear Sir or Madam,
On March 10th, my friends and I arrived at your inn hoping to spend and enjoyable weekend. Since your ad
says “have a wonderful time or get your money back”, I’m requesting that you refund our money.
From the moment we arrived, there were problems with the service. First, a very unfriendly desk clerk couldn’t
find our reservation. After waiting almost half an hour, we were led by another unfriendly clerk to our room.
The room, which had a view of a parking lot instead of the bay, hadn’t yet been cleaned, so we found dirty
towels on the beds and cigarette butts in the ashtrays. This wasn’t the weekend we had been looking forward to.
Service at your inn was not always like this. My previous visits were always enjoyable because of the courteous
service and clean rooms with beautiful views.
