Last Sunday was definitely not a good day for me. It all started when I got into my car and it refused to start. I immediately realised that I had left the lights on and the battery had gone flat. I telephoned my friend George and he came round and helped me start the car. I then drove into town to see a friend. I had arranged to meet him at six thirty, but by the time I got there, it was ten past seven and my friend was not there. I waited for him for an hour despite the freezing weather, but he didn’t come. When I returned to my car, I saw that someone had broken into it, probably looking for the radio. Luckily , I never leave the radio in the car ! There was nothing I could do but get into my car and drive home. Later I spoke with my friend and discovered that he had waited for only half an hour and left. He didn’t even apologise for not waiting for me longer.

Hoi An Ancient Town
Arriving in Hoi An around 9 p.m., I was really relieved when I discovered that the whole town was peacefully quiet, something I am really concerned that Hoi An at night may become crazy club scenes. In the next morning, I woke up very early, and walked around the town admiring waterfront areas where local fishermen were ready to go out for day fishing, the very lively market and extremely charming and empty streets. Since there was no tourist, only locals then and the souvenir shops were still close, I felt that Hoi An at that moment was an extremely gorgeous place to visit. The yellowish Chinese styled houses along the street together with decorative bushes of bougainvillea flower are lovely sights and very photogenic. The layout of houses was claimed to be unique for not strictly complied with Feng Shui but for benefit of better ventilation in tropical region. Another thing that I am really impressed is the preservation of thẹ whole town which is very amazing and very authentic, which is a thing that cannot be found in Melaka, Singapore or Macao. The Japanese Bridge is maybe the only sight that I found very interesting for its stories that the Japanese built this bridge in order to calm evil serpent spirit “Namazu” that caused earthquake in very faraway Japan since they believe Hoi An is located on the back of the serpent. I strangely found that there are still many nice temples, especially the one dedicate to Confucius which has more unique and interesting Vietnamese elements more than the preserved ones in the core zone. I also noted that Hoi An is not only popular with European tourists but also Korean, Japanese, Australian and New Zealander. After sunset, the whole town waterfront becomes a night market with many local foods. And at that time Hoi An is very charming with hundreds of paper and silk lanterns. Hoi An at night seems to be a very popular place for pre-wedding photo shooting, as I saw many Vietnamese couples in their traditional dresses with their photographer teams everywhere especially around the Japanese Bridge, so a great place to see local contemporary wedding cultures. All in all, I really enjoyed my time in Hoi An for its lovely atmosphere and nice townscape.

(Đến Hội An vào khoảng 9 giờ tối, tôi đã thực sự cảm thấy nhẹ nhõm khi phát hiện ra rằng cả phố cổ thật yên tĩnh thanh bình, vì một điều gì đó mà tôi thực sự lo ngại đó là Hội An vào ban đêm có thể trở thành nhữngsân khấu câu lạc bộ cuồng nhiệt. Sáng hôm sau, tôi thức dậy rất sớm và đi dạo quanh phố cổ, ngắm nhìn những khu vực ven sông, nơi ngư dân địa phương đã sẵn sàng đi câu cá trong ngày, cómột khu chợ sôi động cùng những con phố vô cùng quyến rũ và vắng vẻ. Vì không có khách du lịch, chỉ có người dân địa phương và các cửa hàng lưu niệm vẫn còn chưa mở cửa, nên tôi cảm thấy rằng Hội An vào thời điểm đó chính là một nơi vô cùng tuyệt đẹp để ghé thăm.)

Câu đề bài: Trước khi báo giấy trở nên phổ biến, một người rao tin tức của phố đã đi bộ khắp làng hay khắp phố để thông báo tin tức.
Đáp án C. has.
Việc người rao tin tức đi bộ khắp làng phố để rao tin tức là một việc hoàn toàn trong quá khứ và đã kết thúc hoàn toàn ở hiện tại, thời gian của nó cũng rõ ràng (trước khi báo giấy trở nên phổ biến) nên ta dùng thì quá khứ đơn chứ không dùng thì hiện tại hoàn thành.
Sửa: bỏ has đi.
