'My hobby is watching films. I have seen many films. The film I like best is Chang Trai Nam Ay. It's comedy moving, which was directed by Quang Huy. It's stars Son Tung M-TP, Hariwon, Hua Vi Van, Ngo Kien Huy and Pham Quynh Anh. The film was made in 2014.
Chang Trai Nam Ay is very hilarious, romantic and moving. It's about the young singer who has a cancer. The story of film is based on the real. The ending is very moving, I cried. I love Dinh Phong (by Son Tung) very much.
The special effects and the visuals are good. The music has sweet melody. I like the acting very much. The actors play very well. Those are the reasons why I like Chang Trai Nam Ay. The critics say it is a good film. I agree, although the film has a lot of scandals and bad comment from some viewers.'

2. Read the following text about leisure activities of Vietnamese teenagers. Match the words in A with their meanings in B.
A recent survey conducted by TIRA, a Vietnamese research company, highlights problems about the lifestyles of Vietnamese teenagers in urban areas. There is an imbalance in their consumption of time for studying and recreational activities. On average, these teenagers spend 9.5 hours a day on studies at school and at home. They only have about four hours for entertainment. Most of this time is spent on watching television and the internet, where they chat through social networks. The teenagers admit that they use computers to play games and to chat with friends much more than using it for studying purposes. The survey also shows that during summer months, despite having much more free time than during school years, these teenagers still fail to manage their time properly. They stay in bed longer, and then get hooked on games and TV. The time for computers and TV increases significantly to about five or six hours a day, while there is almost no time for physical outdoor activities. |
