Part 1 Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B, C, or D
[ Đọc bài và khoanh tròn A, B, C, D]
Andrea - There are six of us in our family, my parents, the twins, my elder brother
Ted and me Ted is a good ten years older than me and the twins – they are girls - are two years younger than me We had a good childhood out in the countryside My parents were always busy with the farm so we didn’t get the help
with school work and things like that that children get today But my parents were very loving, especially my father I regret not helping more around the farm because now I realise that it must have been very hard for my parents, especially as my grandparents lived so far away
Bob - Both my parents were in the theatre and they had made quite a name for themselves on the stage As a child I remember our house being constantly full of
famous people, laughing and talking My two sisters and I would be brought down
by chit nanny to kiss our parents goodnight and then we would be packed off to the nursery That’s as much as we ever really saw of them at that time And I never saw
my grandparents as they had died before I was bom It’s better now, but it has left a mark on all of us - we ring each other now and again, but that’s about all I think my
father understands this, but I am not sure my mother does
Camillia - I left home when I was sixteen to live with my grandparents in Sydney -
My parents had a farm in the outback and I needed to go to college It was quite difficult for me to leave my four younger brothers and sisters behind as we were
quite a tight-knit group, even though the age gap was fairly wide - as you can
imagine there was no one else to play with out in the middle of nowhere! When I got fed up I’d give them a ring, and my dad would always put me right – a tower of strength he was My grandparents were great too- helped me with my homework, took me on trips, things like that I’ll never forget that
David - I am always telling my kids - your family is always there for you, whatever
happens You might think we don’t understand you and all that rubbish, but no one else will look after you the way the family will Family is important to me When I was young, I didn’t have much of family life We four kids were quite close in ages
so that helped enormously, but we didn’t see much of our parents In fact, we saw more of granny and grandpa as they lived with us, but they were a bit strict We all
Trang 2got on and we knew that our parents cared for us But there wasn’t much in the way
of trips, treats, things that nowadays people take for granted

Andrea- Có 6 thành viên trong gia đình của chúng tôi, bố mẹ, cặp song sinh, anh
trai – Ted và tôi Ted là người anh tốt lơn hơn tôi 10 tuổi và cặp song sinh – 2 em gái - nhỏ hơn tôi 2 tuổi Chúng tôi có thời thơ ấu hạnh phúc ngoài vùng nông thôn
Bố mẹ tôi luôn bận rộn với công việc ở trang trại vì vậy chúng tôi không được giúp
đỡ trong việc học tập và những thứ tương tự như vậy cái mà trẻ em ngày nay có được Nhưng bố mẹ rất thương yêu chúng tôi, đặc biệt là bố Tôi rất tiếc đã không giúp đỡ được nhiều công việc ở trang trại vì bây giờ tôi mới nhận ra rằng công việc rất vất vả với bố mẹ, đặc biệt khi ông bà tôi sống quá xa
Bob - Cả bố mẹ đều ở nhà hát và họ khá nổi tiếng trên sân khấu Khi còn bé tôi nhớ
nhà tôi thường xuyên đầy những người nổi tiếng, cười đùa và trò chuyện Hai chị của tôi và tôi được bảo mẫu đưa xuống và sau đó chúng tôi được đưa đến nhà trẻ Lúc đó chúng tôi không thường xuyên gặp bố mẹ Và tôi chưa bao giờ gặp ông bà
vì họ đã mất trước khi tôi chào đời Bây giờ tốt hơn rồi, nhưng vẫn còn in đậm trong
ký ức của chúng tôi – bây giờ chúng tôi thường xuyên gọi điện thoại cho nhau, nhưng
đó là tất cả Tôi nghĩ bố tôi hiểu điều này, nhưng tôi không chắc mẹ tôi hiểu
Camillia – Tôi đã rời khỏi nhà khi tôi 16 tuổi để sống với ông bà ở Sydney Ông bà
tôi có 1 trang trại ở vùng hẻo lánh và tôi cần học đại học Khá khó khăn cho tôi khi
Trang 4để lại 4 em trai và em gái phía sau vì chúng tôi khá thân thiết không thể tách rời, mặc dù khoảng cách tuổi tác khá lớn – như bạn có thể tưởng tượng không còn ai khác để chơi cùng ở bất cứ nơi đâu! Khi tôi buồn chán và gọi điện thoại cho các em,
và bố luôn an ủi tôi – bó là một chỗ dựa vững chắc Ông bà tôi cũng rất tuyệt vời – giúp tôi làm bài tập về nhà, dẫn tôi đi chơi và hơn thế nữa Tôi sẽ không bao giờ quên điều đó
David – Tôi luôn nói với những đứa em của mình – gia đình của em luôn bên cạnh
các em , cho dù bất cứ điều gì xảy ra Bạn có thể nghĩ rằng chúng không hiểu bạn và tất cả chỉ là rác rưởi, nhưng không ai khác sẽ chăm sóc bạn như gia đình Gia đình quan trọng đối với tôi Khi tôi còn bé, tôi đã không có nhiều thời gian bên gia đình Chúng tôi bốn đứa trẻ tuổi tác khá gần nhau và giúp đỡ nhau rất nhiều, nhưng chúng tôi không gặp bố mẹ nhiều Thật ra, chúng tôi gặp ông bà nhiều hơn vơ chúng tôi sống với ông bà, nhưng ông bà hơi nghiêm khắc một chút Tất cả chúng tôi đều hòa đồng và chúng tôi biết rằng ông bà quan tâm đến chúng tôi Nhưng chúng tôi không
đi du lịch nhiều, không tiếp xúc nhiều những thứ mà ngày nay mọi người cho là hiển nhiên
