not too big a country. I really like the place I live in. There's something going on here. I have friends here
and there in my school and my home. I'm proud of my town and also of the country I come from.
Vietnam is such an amazing country rich in achievements history and wonderful culture. There are many
interesting places, especially Ha Noi and Sai Gon. Ha Noi is the capital of Vietnam and the city of
business and fast-growing industries. It's a great place to visit. But let's go back to me. I would like to

forward to getting to know Your family a little bit more. Please, tell me something about your family in a
letter back. Lots of love, Minh

THE WORKPLACE
The workplace is changing. Gone is the traditional office and gone too are the traditional office hours.
We are no longer tied to a desk from 9.00 a.m. until 5.00pm with a couple of coffee breaks and an hour
for lunch. Technology has revolutionised our working lives in many different ways.

One of the greatest changes that we can see happening today is related to where we do our work. The
daily commute to and from the office will soon be a thing of the past for many of us. Technology allows
us to work wherever we wish because of the increased ability to communicate via the Internet and send
our work round the world in seconds. More and more people are taking advantage of this freedom and
working from home.
One significant effect of this trend is that people are having to develop their self-discipline and time
management skills. And perhaps the greatest danger is that the workforce will become increasingly
isolated, and some people will see no one from one day to the next. From a practical point of view,
however, the way we organise our days is becoming more flexible and companies can cut office
expenditure. Only time will tell whether the benefits of working from home make it worthwhile or not.
Are the sentences true or false?
