My favorite movie is Kungfu Panda. It’s a cartoon movie set in the Valley of Peace in ancient China in 2004. The star of the movie is Jack Black. The movie is about a panda who likes to learn Kungfu martial arts but this is not approved by his father because he is forced to follow his father’s noodle business. Then on one occasion, he learned with a master of Kungfu along with other famous colleagues. It’s interesting and I can understand everything. I think all kids will like this movie.

VIII. Read and answer

Panda is the name for two nocturnal Asian mammals: the red panda and the giant panda. The red panda, also known as lesser panda and cat bear, is found at high elevations in the Himalayas. It resembles a raccoon but has a longer body and tail and a more rounded head. Its thick fur is rust color to deep chestnut, with black on the under parts, limbs, and ears. The red panda spends much of its time in trees but feeds on the ground, eating primarily bamboo leaves but also fruit and roots. The giant panda superficially resembles a bear. The body is chiefly white, and the limbs are brownish black, with the dark color extending up over the shoulder. The ears and eye patches are black. Giant pandas live in restricted areas of the high mountain bamboo forests of central China; their diet consists entirely of bamboo shoots. Rare in the wild, they produce young poorly when they are not in their natural environment. Giant pandas are protected by law in China.

In Vietnam, a market is a trading place, but many markets are not only about buying and selling things. They reflect the life of the community.
