II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following question:
I get a lot of letter at this time of year from people complaining that they have a cold
which won't go away. thre are so many different stories about to how to prevent or cure
a cold. It's often diffecult to know what to do. Although cold is rarely dangerous, except
for people who are always uncomfortabel and usually most unpleasant, Of course you
can buy lost of meducines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you
must remember than nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster.
Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better
could be dangerous. If you are already taking drugs whether they are all right for you.
And remember they might make you sleepu - please don't try to drive if they do!Lastly,
as far as avoiding cold is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or
drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy - you''ll have less chance of
catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn't be so bad.

Your favourite hobby

My hobby is reading books. I inherited a valuable collection of books from my
deceased father and up till now my cultural treasures have been preserved carefully.
Reading books broadens my mind and improves my knowledge. They help me
distinguish the bad from the good and prevent me from doing wrong.
Reading books brings me minutes of happiness and pleasures. I have found a source
of consolation and encouragement in books when I am in despair. They’re my true
companions indeed. How relieved and comfored I feel when I can find in good books
good teachers and friends!
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
