My First PE Class: Cross Country Running

A

I’m Nelly, and I’m in the first PE class at my new school. Today we’re doing cross country running. Let me tell you about cross country running! Normally I enjoy running at school. We run a few hundred metres around a track. I’m very good at 400-metre races.

B

But cross country running is different! Now we’re running five kilometres! Can you believe it? I usually love sport, especially running, but I’m not enjoying myself much today. I’m with my best friend and we’re running across a big field near our school. It’s summer and it’s much too hot!

C

You normally go cross country running in the winter because it’s nice and cool then, so I don’t understand why we’re doing it today. It’s really strange because the rest of the students in my class seem fine – they’re smiling and chatting as they run.

D

I can hear a person running just behind me. They’re going very fast. How can they run so fast on this hill? They’re coming past me now and I can see it’s Hameed Shah, a famous runner from my town. Wow! He’s telling us to keep going and how to improve. Maybe I like cross country running after all!

II/ Read the passage. Then write True or False for each of the sentences below. (1.5pt)

In the UK we each use about two hundred steel food and drink cans every year. Steel cans are popular because they are convenient, easy to store and unbreakable. But when you have finished with a can what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it? Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose work is to make sure that the steel is never wasted. In fact, recycling or re-using steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products.

After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week and take to a tip, together with all the other household rubbish. Then the rubbish is sorted and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which turns old cans into high quality steel. It’s this steel that may well find its way back into your home in the form of knives and folks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans.

So next time you open your fizzy drink, just remember where your can may have been!

Làm và có dịch nghĩa, giải thích___Help me!!!___________________________IV. Choose from the four options given (marked A, B, C, and D) one best answer to complete each of the gaps below by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C, or D. Can you imagine a world without words? The main way that we communicate with each other is by using words. We can communicate either by speaking and listening or by writing and reading. With words, we can give and receive information, ideas, orders and instructions. People have used writing to communicate for about 7000 years. At first, they used to draw simple pictures to represent objects, such as people and animals. Then people started to put pictures together to represent something more difficult, like a sentence. The next step in the development of writing was to use symbols, or signs. These symbols represented the sounds of words and not their meanings. Finally, the alphabet from which modern English comes was invented in about 1500 B.C. The people who invented the alphabet used a set of symbols to represent the sound “o”. This symbol is still used to the same sound today. Many languages are written with letters of an alphabet, including Vietnamese. Câu 11. People communicate with each other using ____.
