A/ Listening: unit 2, unit 3, unit 6
B/ Reading : * Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers. 
I/ Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a 
country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I 
decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
 We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our 
equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle 
there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the 
elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the 
heat of the day.
 Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a 
dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
 We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos 
plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed 
Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and 
made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible 
to sleep!

II. In Viet Nam, there is great excitement built up well before Tet Nguyen Dan. First, every family organizes a 
trip to the cemetery to visit the graves of their ancestor. After that, to create an air of prosperity, wealth and 
fun for the first three days of the Lunar New Year, people are kept busy cooking traditional foods, buying 
gifts, and making other preparations. Certain items deemed to be bought or made are banh chung, dried 
watermelon seeds, tea, dried sausages, fruit (fresh and candied), ornamental plants and flowers. Red and 
yellow flowers are ideal as they make the house more welcoming. On the New Year's days, only good 
comments and wishes can be expressed. Children receive their Ii xi (or red envelopes with lucky money 
inside). People make a visit to family members, neighbors, and close friends. And people who live apart from 
their family try to get together on these days. Clearly enough, games and various forms of entertainment are 
staged and these often last a week. Varying traditional specialties including wrestling, buffalo fighting, dragon

V/ THANKSGIVING
 Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the 
most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, 
and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
 Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship 
the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the 
beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following 
summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next 
winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.
 Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days.
The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. 
The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of 
sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. 
Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie. 
 On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's 
Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with 
large balloons in- the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the 
Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.
