Why? George Washington's father had a beautiful garden In his garden there were many flowers and trees His favorite tree was the cherry tree He liked the pink flowers in the spring and the sweet, red fruit in the summer George was just a little boy He was six years old He had a new ax, and he liked to cut things in the garden One day, he cut down the cherry tree by mistake When he saw the cherry tree on the ground, he felt very badly Later that day, George's father saw the tree on the ground He was angry He called his son "George," he asked, "Do you know who cut down my cherry tree?" George was afraid because his father was angry, but he wanted to tell the truth "Father," George said, "I cannot tell a lie I cut down the cherry tree." George's father took the boy in his arms and hugged him He was happy because his son had told the truth L a ch n áp án úng nh t: The characters used in folktales are never real people A True B False A culture's beliefs, traditions, and values are often revealed in folktales A True B False Folktales never use characters that are larger than life A True B False 10 Folktales are used to pass on truths that are valued by the culture A True B False c hi u – Trình A 11 Annie Oakly and Pecos Bill are real people A True B False 12 In the folktale above, the tale tries to highlight the truthlessness of George Washington A True B False Test Liverpool Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside in North West England, on the north side of the Mersey estuary The city is governed by Liverpool City Council, one of five councils within Merseyside The population of the borough in 2002 was 441,477, and that of the Merseyside conurbation was 1,362,026 Liverpool is the second largest export port of the United Kingdom Whilst it has lost most of its manufacturing base, Liverpool is still internationally famous as a port, and the city from where The Beatles originated In sport terms, it boasts two internationally known football clubs, Liverpool F.C and Everton F.C In the year 2008, Liverpool will become the European Capital of Culture Liverpool runs directly into Bootle in Sefton, and Huyton in Knowsley It faces Wallasey and Birkenhead across the River Mersey Inhabitants of Liverpool are officially known as "Liverpudlians", but more commonly known as "Scousers" They are noted for their distinctive accent, called Scouse L a ch n áp án úng nh t: 13 Liverpool has a population of less than half million people A True B False 14 Liverpool is the second largest export port of the United Kingdom A True B False 15 Liverpool is the city from where The Beatles originated A True B False 16 Liverpool has one football team A True B False 17 People from Liverpool are called Liverpudlians A True c hi u – Trình A B False II CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER Test Learning English Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country? The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people In Vietnam, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Vietnamese if you want to and the learning is slower On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study You don't have to make big changes to your life As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in Britain If you have a good teacher in Vietnam, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in Britain This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Vietnam is the only viable option The most important thing to in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class L a ch n áp án úng nh t: 18 What is the article about?
