IX. Read the film review, and decide whether the statements are true (T), or false (F), and tick the correct box.

Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol? I did and I really like it. It’s an adventure story full of magic and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim Burton’s version of the film at the cinema.

This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her, but she runs away and falls downa rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland, which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters on her adventures.

There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter. He has acted in a lot of films before but this is my favourite one. Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think she’s going to become a big star!

Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story.

đáp án là B nha bạn 

Tình hình xã hội ở Đàng Trong nửa sau thế kỉ XVIII:

 +Từ giữa thế kỉ XVIII, chính quyền họ Nguyễn ở Đàng Trong suy yếu dần.

 + Việc mua quan, bán tước phổ biến, số quan lại ngày càng tăng. Quan lại, cường hào kết thành bè cánh, đàn áp, bóc lột nhân dân thậm tệ và đua nhau ăn chơi xa xỉ. Trương Phúc Loan nắm hết quyền hành, tự xưng “quốc phó” và khét tiếng tham nhũng.

 + Nông dân bị địa chủ, cường hào lấn chiếm ruộng đất. Nhân dân phải nộp nhiều thứ thuế.

 + Thương nhân, thợ thủ công, đặc biệt là các dân tộc thiểu số miền núi cũng bất bình sâu sắc với chính quyền họ Nguyễn. Họ phải nộp lâm thổ sản như ngà voi, sừng tê, mật ong…

Mâu thuẫn xã hội: giữa tầng lớp thống trị và bị trị ngày càng trở nên gay gắt. Nhiều nơi, nông dân vùng lên chống lại chính quyền phong kiến.
