VII - Read the passage and do the tasks below.
Traffic jams in Viet Nam frequently take place in big cities, such as Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City.
There is no fixed rule for the time a traffic jam to happen. But It is worst during the rush hour when everyone is in
a hurry to get to work or come back home. Apart from peak hours, the time between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and between
3 p.m. to 4 p.m. also witnesses long lines of vehicles, mainly motorbikes. When it rains, the traffic jam gets more
terrible. Taxis are extremely hard to catch or wave during the downpour.
However, the most annoying thing about the traffic jam is the way people react to it. Most road users ride their
motorbikes on the pavement rather than waiting calmly. Moreover, they constantly use their horns to hasten riders
in the front, even shouting at them from time to time.

1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. the causes of traffic jams in Viet Nam B. the effects of traffic jams in Viet Nam

V- Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and simply a necessity. This public means of transportation is often
convenient when you live or work in the city centre, as you can avoid traffic jams by moving very quickly in the
bus lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. After all, though, taking the bus is just a necessary and tedious
part of life: you board the bus, pay the driver and sit down or find a place to stand. Very boring.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, long-distance buses put on films so that you
have entertainment for at least some of the journey. Naturally, local transport does not show films but drivers
usually switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear new songs and new styles of music. Therefore,
taking the bus doesn’t sound like fun but it is much more exciting than any UK bus journey.
