Trang 7D READING
I Read the passage and choose the correct answer:
Quang is watering his garden and can't wait to pick the ripe fruit He spends most of his spare time looking after the garden Sounds great, doesn't it? But his garden is a virtual one
In today's world, teenagers rely on technology more than in the past This can be a problem because using computers too much may have harmful effect on both their minds and bodies They prefer watching TV and playing computer games to reading books, perhaps because they don't have
to think and imagin as much Th y don’t join clubs or hav hobbi s and th y don't play sports They sit in front of the computer all the time They don't get out of the house, even for a walk They are in a world that doesn't exist
While Quang now knows the names of many plants, and his English seems to be improving as he chats with his 'gaming friends from all over the world, his parents are getting worried They want him to get out more They are even thinking of banning him from using the computer
1 What is Quang’s l isur activity?
Teenagers often complain they're bored and have nothing to do I can't understand them I'm never bored If the weather is nice, we go for a walk or we ride our bikes All of us love rollerblading, We often play football, asketball or cricket in the park and when it is rainy, we go to the sports centre Here we usually play table tennis or go swimming If you play a musical instrument it's a good fun! I play the guitar and practise a lot At home I usually listen to music or read magazines and books Of course, as other teenagers I often go on the Internet or play computer games - but not always! It's a pity that a lot of teenagers live their lives on several public sites like Facebook or Twitter! They had better make real friends!
In the evenings I sometimes watch TV I often invite my friends over for dinner or a cup of tea and
we play chess or cards At the weekend we go hiking, fishing or sometimes we go to the cinema We like comedies

Hi! My name is Marek I've been staying in England on an exchange visit and I've found it a very interesting experience I've been staying with a boy called Peter and his family for two weeks The first thing I learnt was how to greet English people When I met Peter and his parents at the airport,
I tried to kiss them on the cheeks His parents looked a bit shocked but let me kiss them, Peter just smiled and said ”Hi!"
Trang 22The city where they lived is very interesting, and is much bigger than my small village I've never seen so many motorways, and there's a recycling bin on every corner It's really noisy, though, and there are so many cars that they need to have traffic lights everywhere!
I like it here but I think I still prefer the countryside There are more trees and animals, and not so many factories
In all, I've learnt a lot from my exchange but I'll be glad to get back to Poland I wonder what Peter will think when he comes to stay here!
