Exercise 1:

Tom is from America. He is 13 years old. He has a new pen pal in Vietnam. Her first name is
Trang and her family name is Tran. Trang is from Hue. But her parents work in Hanoi, so now
she lives there with them. She is studying English at an International School. She told Tom many
things about her new school and new life.

Hanoi is a big and busy city. It seems to be bustling with activity at all times of the day and
night. She told that the difference in the atmosphere was quite shocking to her. In the first week,
she thought her new school was very boring and that most of the teachers and students seemed to
be too serious. She missed the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of her old school so much and
sometimes she felt lonely. But now, having been in this school for two months, she gets used to
it.

Her new school is huge. It is bigger and prettier than her old school in Hue. The school hours are
longer and there isn't as much homework. Instead, the pupils here do many projects. She is in
class 7A and her classroom is on the fourth floor. There are twenty-five students in her class and
they are very friendly. It’s only about 500 meters from her house to her school. So she walks to
school every day. She is very interested in English and Math. Tom hopes that one day he can go
to Vietnam to meet Trang and travel around Vietnam with her.

Excercise 3:

The school year in Vietnam runs from September through the first of June. It is divided
into two semesters. The first semester begins in September and ends before the Lunar
New Year, while the second one begins right after the first one and lasts until June the
first. Children in Vietnam go to school six days a week from Monday to Saturday and a
typical school day runs from 7:00 to about 11:30 in the morning. Vietnamese students
are expected to take school very seriously and to work hard. Most periods begin with a
small test. The teacher calls on some students to stand and answer a few questions to
check their understanding of the last lesson.

After school, Vietnamese students take part in a lot of activities. Some students play
sports. Soccer, table tennis, and badminton are the most popular. Others enjoy going
swimming. A few students like music and movies. They often practice playing musical
instruments in the music hall or go to the cinema with their friends to see
the latest films. In addition, some students play video games or computer games or
stay at home to help their parents. The after-school activities above help students find
friends with similar interests, develop their talents, and sometimes even discover their
career goals.

What is your favorite subject?


66
TOEIC BUILDING – ENGLISH FOR BEGINNERS – Date: …………………..

Hello. I’m Mai. I’m 13. My favorite subject in school is math. I love math because I think
it is challenging and it can sharpen our logic. Another reason is that I never have
difficulty with it and always get good marks on tests. I suppose I am lucky to be born
with a clear-thinking brain so it’s easy for me to deal with numbers and figures.

Hi. My name is Lan. I’m the same age as Mai. What is my favorite subject? My favorite
subject is English. English is interesting. Studying English can help me make friends
with people all around the world and discover many different cultures as well. I also like
to take part in international volunteer organizations when I get older, so it’s necessary to
study English. English is one of the most important subjects, I think.

Hi. I’m Nam. I’m in grade 8. I am really interested in History. The reason is that it
enriches my knowledge of the past, allows me to examine events with different
viewpoints and I can learn from the mistakes from older generations.

Hi. I’m Trang. I’m in grade 10. My favorite subject is definitely chemistry. You might
think it's boring, but experiments, colors and chemicals make it a bit more fun - unlike
calculations. It can be a little tough but if you think positively, you don’t need to fear it.

I am Trung. I’m 14. My favorite school subject is art because it gives me a chance to
express myself in an endless number of ways. It also allows me to be imaginative and
creative, which is impossible in any other subjects.
