Unit 8 : Country life and City life : Test 1

A day at the beach can be awesome. But let's be honest, it's a lot of work and sometimes kids lose interest fast -- unless you have some awesome beach activities lined up to keep them happy. By the time you make snacks, pack the cooler, get swimsuits and sunscreen on and stake your claim to the perfect spot on the beach for the day, you're exhausted and ready to relax. The last thing you want is a kid who is ready to go home half an hour later!

Whether you frequent the beach daily or are lucky to get in one visit a summer, you want to come prepared with fun beach activities to make the trip worth it and fun for everyone.
"Kids and adults often have different wants and motivations at the beach. Kids use beach time as an opportunity to run, swim and play, while parents often want to use a beach trip for a much-needed time to relax," explains Dan DeFigio, the author of "Beach Games for Kids." "Staying active is one of the best ways for kids to beat boredom at the beach. Sand and water make a different environment than the typical backyard, so kids can explore while having fun."

Planning activities everyone will enjoy is key to a great beach day and will pay off in memories for years to come. "Families and the beach just go together -- it's a perfect way to be active and outside with your kids," says Megan Hewitt, the owner of the Shrimp and Grits Kids clothing line and blog. "Spending time at the beach can be so varied -- you can relax by the water, swim, play games on the beach, look for seashells -- or all of the above!"

In my opinion, life in the city as well as in the countryside has its own benefits. Personally, I prefer living in the countryside.
In the first place, life in the the countryside is much more peaceful in the way that it gives people a chance to relax and feel at ease.
Secondly, the air is so fresh and pure in the countryside. Besides, there are so many beautiful sceneries there such as woods, mountains, rivers, ponds and lakes... For that reason, many people choose the countryside as their refreshment site after tiring days at work. Moreover, rural people are very friendly and hospitable. You are always welcome to their place. They make a living by farming and breeding cattle and poultry. The food there is always fresh and delicious.
Lastly, life in the conutryside is very peaceful and good for our heath.
If someone asks where I would rather live, my definite answer is the peaceful and happy coúntryide. bạn xem thử coi được hk chứ cả 2 đề này mk hk có ý tưởng j hay hết nên mk cop của 1 bạn kia à

Hãy viết 1 đoạn văn ngắn về sự thay đổi trên quê hương em .

I often hear my grandmother talk about the hardships of the old days, when the village road is still red, just a rain is slippery as the grease, the sun is the way to the whirlwind, the people behind do not see people ahead. She often told, in the past, the trees are luxuriant here, all living in the cottage, the one with the tile house is called the richest village. She also said that in the past, the river was clear, every morning, people went to each other to carry the burden of bustling water is no different to go to the Assembly. She often goes shopping, every day there is a grandmother's market and he has to wake up very early, walking a kilometer to the market. The old days are very poor, not like now, buy a lot of things should also look ahead look. I like to hear stories like that, let me see how life and his country now change. Everything has changed, no longer like the old days, lively, rich and civilized.

Tôi thường được nghe bà kể lại về những khó khăn vất vả thời xưa, thời mà đường làng vẫn còn đất đỏ, chỉ cần một trận mưa thì trơn như đổ mỡ, còn nắng thì con đường trở thành cơn lốc bụi, người đi sau không thấy người đi trước. Bà vẫn hay kể, ngày xưa, cây cối ở đây um tùm, toàn phải sống trong nhà tranh, nhà nào có nhà ngói thì phải gọi là giàu nhất làng. Bà còn bảo ,ngày xưa nước sông trong veo, cứ mỗi sáng mọi người lại rủ nhau đi gánh nước tấp nập không khác gì đi hội. Bà hay đi chợ phiên, mỗi hôm có chợ phiên là bà và ông phải dậy thật sớm, đi bộ hàng ki lô mét mới tới chợ. Mà ngày xưa nghèo lắm, chẳng như bây giờ, mua được bao nhiêu thứ thì cũng phải nhìn trước nhìn sau. Tôi thích nghe những câu chuyện như thế, để tôi thấy bây giờ cuộc sống và quê hương mình thay đổi như thế nào. Thật là mọi thứ đã thay đổi, không còn như ngày xưa, sống động, giàu có và văn minh hơn.

Where I was born and grew up in Hanoi. The city’s children is a growing modern city. Roads wander wide. The way the two buildings grow up san suicide. Hanoi’s most beautiful at night, then coats the city as a new coat. Where Where electric lighting as I am sa. They are the parents area for walking in the West Lake. In the air is cool and fresh. Lake blue, like a cosmic giant carpet. Coastal lakes are found standing tilt touches down in their reflected nothing more of a young woman doing coast. I am very proud of themselves as citizens Hanoi. The people of Hanoi elegance and hospitality.

If you are weak in English as you said, and the teacher knows that you are weak in English, you cannot expect to turn in a paper that suddenly shows that you are really good in writing an essay, can you?Maybe some members will intentionally write a rather bad paper for you to reflect your true weakness. I think a smart teacher can always find out whether some students are truly doing their homework or just copy from other people’s work. That’s the reason why when some posters asked for help with their homework, I really hesitate to help because in the long run, I will do them no favor, and I could hurt them once the teachers find out that they could not do exercises that well in a closed exam in class.
