READING
I . Read the passage and complete the tasks that follow.
HuyenAnh is introducing herself and her closest friends.
Many people consider me sociable because I am keen on taking part in community activities. I find it easy to start a conversation
and get on well with different kinds of people, so I have numerous friends. Among them, Tram Anh, Minh and Bich are my closest ones.
Tram Anh is the tallest girl in my group. She looks beautiful with a straight nose, long black hair, fair skin and dimples. She is
interested in helping the poor and the disabled. She volunteers to teach English at the local orphanage every Sunday. She also spends a
lot of time helping other classmates to improve their English. She is so gentle and generous that her teachers and friends adore her.
Besides, she is a diligent student who always gets good marks.
Similar to Tram Anh, Minh is very outgoing and warm-hearted. He enjoys participating in social activities, such as blood donation
and environmental protection campaigns. He is quite talkative and humorous, so he is sometimes regarded as a class clown who always
makes others laugh by telling jokes and pretending to do silly things. His jokes, however, sometimes annoy his friends. He also receives
many compliments from teachers for being so intelligent and hard-working. He is not only our class’s star soccer player but also a talented
amateur singer.
Unlike Tram Anh and Minh, Bich is quite shy in public. At break time, she enjoys staying in the classroom to finish her homework
before going home. Also, she likes the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the school library. In her free time, she prefers reading books
and helping her mother prepare meals.

myself lucky to have them as my intimate friends.
