I’m going to tell (1)……………. about my best friend Lou An. We first met a few years ago at the local athletics club.

She's very competitive, much more competitive than I am. She exercises for an hour or (3)…………… every day. We also have similar tastes in (4)……….……. and television programmes.

IV. READING COMPREHENSION (2.5 pts)
@. Read the passage and decide whether the statements that follow are True or False: ( 1pt)
My best friend, Na learned English at school and university many years ago. She is now studying English again in London because she’s forgotten a lot of it. Na really needs English for her job. She works for an international bank in Hanoi. Her speaking and reading are excellent. She just wants to improve her writing skill so that she can write normal letter in English. In Na’s opinion the aspect of learning English she finds most difficult is listening. It’s her biggest problem. People speak very quickly and she can’t understand them. Although she has difficulty in studying this language, she likes it a lot. She said it was an interesting language and she could talk to people from all over the world… and she could understand the words of her favorite song, too.
1.English is unnecessary for Na’s job.
2. Na can speak English very well.
3. People talk too quickly for Na to understand
4. Na finds English very interesting because she has no difficulty in studying it.
