An individual has several relationships in their studying and working environment. To me, it is necessary
to maintain friendship in daily life. As friends have no age limit. Everyone has friends, some are best
friends, and others are friends. Having good friends brings people many advantages. They help us in
different aspects of life, whenever we are in trouble or whatever we do. Friend is the one we can freely
share opinion, thought, emotion and confidence. One feels better, trustful and comfortable when having a
suitable friend. There are a large number of things friends can do together such as: traveling to new lands,
going shopping in addition to sharing hobbies. Friendship is priceless and it has to be built on love, trust,
caring without any exaggeration, flattery and pretensions. Therefore, a true friendship stands by you
through thick and thin and makes you feel not lonely when being in a crowd. Besides, friendship has
positive and negative effects in life. If we have good friends, they make us a happier and worthy life. In
contrast, they may ruin our career and living if we choose bad friends. Therefore, no matter how often we
meet each other, but how much you care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times. Since
famous saying states that: “To live life without the experience of friendship, is life without living”.
1. Everybody has at least one relationship in their life. _________
2. Elderly people can‟t make friends with each other. _________
3. A suitable friend helps us feel better, trustful and comfortable. _________
4. We only have advantages when we have friends. _________
A. How to make friends B. How to choose a good friend.
C. Friends and work D. The importance of a good friendship

were built with the help of dynamite. However, dynamite was also used to kill people in wars. This

In ancient times, housework was hard because homes did not have water or electricity. One of the most
difficult household activities was washing clothes. People took their dirty clothes to the river once or
twice a week and used rocks, sand and water to clean them.
For many years, people tried to find easier ways to wash their clothes. Sailors, for example, put their
clothes in bags and threw them into the sea. This method worked quite well because the moving water
helped.
In 1846, the first washing machine was invented, but it was difficult to use. The water was cold, so
people warmed it on a fire. Then they pulled the clean, wet clothes through a special machine to take
out the water.
The first electric washing machine was designed in 1908. It was more useful because it could warm the
water but the clothes were still very wet. The contemporary washing machine wasn‟t invented until
1930s. This indispensable item has changed our lives. Today, all the hard work is done for us while we
sit and relax.

1) Since 1990s there has been an important change in Ho Chi Minh city- the growth of shopping mall
centers, or shopping malls. Today we find many shopping centers on the main streets of residential
areas. A large shopping center, or mall, usually has about 50 to 100 stores of all kinds and a large
parking lot for vehicles. Most malls have two or more department stores that sell everything you can
imagine: clothes, toys, cameras, sports equipment, etc. These department stores also sell furniture and
household appliances. Some shopping centers have supermarkets that sell food and a lot of things for
home. The other stores in a shopping center usually sells only one kind of thing: cosmetics, books,
shoes, clothes, music cassettes and CDs, etc. A shopping center often has one or more special
restaurants that serve fast food and drinks.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have security guards. Parking is
usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. They are offered a wide selection of products, so it‟s
55
easy for them to find anything they need. Sometimes they will be offered special discounts or get

and entertainment center. 200 stores of top brands, a range of restaurants, café, and Cineplex screens
are completely beyond the expectations of shopaholics. The Crescent mall is also the host organizing
artistic and fashion shows, music concerts, flower festivals, and other sport and cultural activities. It
also provides the community space for customers to relax such as the Starlight Bridge and the

3) Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however, it does have its
drawbacks. Importantly it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery,
proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless, the roads can be some of the
most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night. Fortunately, I wake every
morning to the most beautiful sun lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an
atmosphere that steals my breath away. Rolling hills lay before me that undulate until they crash into
golden purple mountains. Oh how they are covered in spectacular flora, ever blooming foliage, and
trees that are heavy with pungent fruit.

4) Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that that people are feeding the
birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would consist of seeds
and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city center.
The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets
being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city
center and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city center to scare the pigeons away and visitors are
asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as 'robots' - will sit on the roofs
of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which
is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope
that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.

5) Let‟s take a look at a modern farm of the Smiths. Life on the farm is very different from farm life as
many city people could imagine it. Good roads and cars mean that they can get to town, do their
shopping, and be back home in a short time. If they buy food in great amount, it can be kept in a home
freezer.
For Mr. Dixon‟s children, modern farm life is different from the life their parents knew. Today a big
