V. Read the passage about Nick’s father’s unusual hobby and answer the questions.
My father has an unusual hobby; carving eggshells. As everyone knows, eggshells are very fragile. My dad can make beautiful pieces of art from empty eggshells. It's amazing. He started the hobby five years ago after a trip to the US where he saw some carved eggshells in an art gallery. My father did not go to class to learn how to carve. He learned everything from the Internet.
Some people say that this hobby is difficult and boring, but it isn't. All you need is time. It may take two weeks to complete one shell. I find this hobby interesting because carved eggshells are unique gifts for family and friends. I hope that in the future he'll teach me how to do eggshell carving.

Câu hỏi đuôi là câu hỏi được thêm vào cuối mỗi câu, dùng để xác nhận lại thông tin hoặc tìm kiếm sự đồng tình. Nếu mệnh đề chính là khẳng định thì câu hỏi đuôi và phủ định và ngược lại.
“nothing” là từ mang nghĩa phủ định nên câu hỏi đuôi ở dạng khẳng định; “nothing” được thay bằng “it”
