How Nam has improved his English
In the first year of lower secondary school, I had some difficulties in learning
English. My English pronunciation was really bad and my English grammar was worse. I
did not know how to improve them. I didn’t want my father and mother to know about
this. One afternoon after the lesson, my teacher of English told me to wait for her outside
the classroom. She took me to the school library and showed me cassettes of
pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to use an English-
English dictionary to improve my English grammar. “Now I think you know what you
should do”, said she. I made much progress and only one year later, I won the first prize
in the English-Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in my hometown.

In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in

side when the other person is talking, that person will think that you are not interested in
what he or she is saying. This, of course, is not polite. If you lookdown or to the side

16
when you are talking, he or she will think you are hiding something; this means you are
not honest. However, people who are speaking will sometimes look away for a few
seconds when they are thinking or trying to find the right word. But they always turn
immediately back to look the listener directly in the eyes. These socials “rules “are the
same for two men, two women, a man and a woman, or an adult and a child.

2. In the US and Canada, when you’re having a conversation with someone…….
A. you don’t need to look him or her directly in the eyes.
B. you should look him or her directly in the eyes.
C. you should look away.
D. it is not polite to look him or her in the eyes.
3. The speakers will sometimes look away for a few seconds………..
A. because they are thinking or finding the right word.
B. because they think that the listener is not honest.
C. because they want to end the conversation.
D. because the listener is interested in the conversation.
4. The opposite of the word polite in the passage is…………

B. inpolite
C. dispolite
D. impolite
5. Which of the following sentences is NOT true ?
A. The social “rules” are the same for everyone.

Language shows the way that man looks at the world around him. Man lives in a
world of words. By talking to one another, people are able to know and to understand one
another. A people’s language allows them to do this.
But not all the people of the world speak the same language. This can cause people
and nations not to understand or agree with one another. Different languages see the
world in different ways.
Each group of people thinks that its language is the best. Other languages seem
strange or wrong. But each language is clear to the people that speak it.
Every language in the world had words that tell the time, age, sex, and the way of
life the people that speak it. The language of a nation shows the customs and values of its
people.

Dinner in the sky is for people who want more than a little excitement when they
go out to eat. They sit at a huge table which hangs from a crane fifty metres in the air. It’s
not a good idea for people who are afraid of heights or for those who don’t have much
money. It costs 10,000 pounds. The twenty-two diners wear seat belts and relax and
enjoy the views while the chefs prepare the finest food in front of them. The restaurant
opened in Belgium in 2006, but now has branches in Paris, Dubai, Florida, and Las
Vegas.
David Ghysels, the Belgian organizer says, ‘We realized that people were bored
with going to the same old restaurants. They wanted to try something different. The sky’s
the limit with us!
The crane is checked carefully before every sitting. The table is 9m x 5m and weighs six
tones. In the centre, there is a sunken platform for the chef and two waiters. The food is
delicious, but most guests don’t feel like eating until after a few drinks! Then they also
get the courage to look down at the ground where tiny people are looking up in
amazement and waving.

A. in the sea B. in the desert C. in the sky D. in the land
2. Where was it opened in 2006?
