the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for the Questions 33 and 34
Having a penfriend is an excellent way for students to practice their English. This can either be done the old fashioned way by sending the letter through the post office or by e-mail using the internet. Penfriends are good as the students are communicating with people in real situations.
They feel good when they ask their penfriend a question and then a few days later receive a reply. It also supports their confidence when they see that their American or English penfriend has similar difficulty with spelling and grammar! This page gives ideas of what to write in the first few letters and you will also find links to read real letters from students around the world.
It is always good to end your first letter by saying that you thank them for their time and that you wish them the best even if they do not wish to correspond to you. You should never make your new penpals feel obligated to reply to your letter. They will reply if they want to and do not need to be told that you "look forward to hearing from them soon" or "I will be most disappointed if I do not receive a reply". Comments like this will have no positive effects.
Choose true or false
29. Write for a pen pal is one of the best ways for you to learn English.
30. People feel confident when they contact with ones who have the same problem. 31. Whatever you write, please end your first letter by saying thank

Protecting yourself and others from the spread of COVID 19
You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID 19 by taking some simple precautions:
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol- based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol- based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why? When someone coughs. sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
Avoid going to crowded places. Why? When people come together in crowds, you are more likely to come into close contact with someone that has COVID-19 and it is more difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 metre (3 feet)
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose, mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
You should wear a mask, and know how to dispose of it properly
17. You should clean your hands with an alcohol- based hand rub and then with soap and water.
18. You can maintain 4-feet distance between yourself and others.
19. Never touch eyes, nose and mouth because the virus can enter your body and infect you.
20. Wearing a mask is effective enough to protect you from the virus.
21. The main idea of this passage:
A. Wearing a mask is compulsory.
B. Taking precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
C. It’s difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 metre.
D. Wearing and disposing of a mask properly keep us healthy.

Good evening. Welcome to our Science for Fun Program. This week, we’ve received a lot of questions asking about life on the moon. We’ve talked to some experts and this is what we’ve found out. There is no water or air on the moon. It is all silent because there is no air. Of course, there will be no music, no
sounds. There are no rivers and no lakes. At night, it is very cold. The temperature goes down 1510C below zero. But during the day the temperature rises to 1000C above zero.
There are great round holes on the moon. They look like big lakes. They are called craters. There are more than 30,000 craters on the moon. There are also high mountains. The highest mountains on the moon are about 26,000 feet or 8,000 meters high.
And here is something very interesting to know: on the moon you weigh one sixth of what you weigh on earth. If you weigh 50 kilos, on the moon you will weigh only a little more than 8 kilos. You will be able to jump very high, even higher than an Olympic Champion. You can take very long steps as well. And …
may be you want won’t sleep very well because one day on the moon lasts for 2 weeks.

Find native English speakers In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.
Listen to the music of English No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.
Slow down Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!
Record yourself Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.
Speak English at home This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.
Talking to actual native speakers is the least effective way to improve your English skills

Canada Geese are large blue and white birds. When autumn arrives, they have to fly south where the weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds die if they stay there. Last spring, Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought, “These young birds won’t know what to do in the autumn! Bill had a small plane and he decided to teach the birds to follow him. All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him. When the cold weather arrived in autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles South of his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home. This spring, Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn’t arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them.
