IV. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each sentence below:
I’m Nguyen Viet Hung, I’m now twenty-five years old, and I’ll tell you a story about my pen
pal. Last year, I had a most enjoyable experience when I met somebody I had been writing to
for over nine years. When I was about fifteen, my teacher of English asked if anyone wanted
to have an English pen pal. I had known some English and as I was finding it rather difficult I
thought this might help me. A few weeks later the teacher gave me the address of a boy who
lived in Leeds. We began to write to each other straight away and usually exchanged letters
about twice a month. We often wrote that we would like to meet but, unfortunately, this was
never possible. However, last year, I was sent on a two-week course in London by my firm.
There was a great deal of work to do and I did not have much time free but on the second
weekend my friend came to see me. I wondered if we would really like each other when we
met. Fortunately, there was absolutely nothing to worry about; we had been writing for so
long that it was like meeting an old friend. We had a meal together and spent the whole day
talking about our shared interests. I hope we will be able to meet again soon.
