II. READING

1. Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B or C.

I was born in Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam. Ha Noi is famous for its natural beauty, with lots of rivers and
lakes. There are many historical places to visit in Ha Noi. The Literature Temple (Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam) is
the country’s first ever historical university. Teenagers often come here to pray for high results in their upcoming
examinations. As Viet Nam is a Buddhism-oriented nation, its capital has also been the centre of Buddhism for
centuries. In Ha Noi alone, there are about 600 temples and pagodas. It also has a big church in the city centre,
a popular place for the few Christians living here. With a population of nearly eight million, the city is quite
crowded. However, the public transportation is not adequate, so visitors find it hard to safely cross the roads.
The city is packed with universities and enterprises, making it the top destination for higher education students
and labour workers. Many people from rural areas reside in Ha Noi so that they can get well paid jobs. This
makes the city become more crowded than ever before.
