Exercise 1. India is a land of villages, so the majority of its population lives on agriculture. An Indian farmer is normally very hard-
working. He gets up at the crack of dawn and takes his plough and his buffaloes to the field. He works ceaselessly until noon when his
wife or children bring him lunch. Finishing his meal under the shade of a tree, he resumes his farming. Often, he sings a song to break the
monotony of his hard work. Only when it gets dark does he return home. At the door of his humble cottage, he is greeted by his kids.
Then he takes a rest while smoking his hookah. This is probably his happiest moment of the day as he is now the lord of his kingdom.
After having dinner with his family, he visits his fellow farmers with whom he will spend an hour or two laughing and talking.
That is a typical day in the life of an Indian farmer. His life is full of difficulties. Despite his hard work, he lives a life of extreme poverty
because his crops are at the mercy of rain. Natural disasters take away the fruits of his labor. However, it is just one side of the story. As a
diligent farmer, he enjoys fresh air and sunshine every day. He gets fresh food and pure milk, which are comparatively rare in big cities.
Moreover, the villagers are usually sympathetic and hospitable, which makes him, an ordinary farmer, a happy man.
a. Fill in their suitable blanks. There are THREE extra words/ phrases that will not be used. at the crack of dawn poverty diligent agriculture shade mercy Fellow fruits rare crop ceaselessly
1. ….………………………………… - farming

Exercise 2.Rearrange the passages to make a meaningful essay. Write the number (1, 2, 3 , 4 or 5) in each blank.
-……………… Lastly, being able to share with other people is very important to maintain the harmony in extended families. Due to
living with lots of people, we have to share almost everything from the food to the bedrooms. In addition, we may share our
responsibilities with other individuals in our family.
-………………Perhaps, each member needs to be patient, tolerant as well as ready to share in order to live in harmony with other
people in a multigenerational family.
-……………… Next, each person needs to be tolerant to get along with other members in a large family. Those who live in the same
house often disagree over things such as house rules, what TV show to watch or bedtime. As a result, conflicts often occur. However, if
people learn to be tolerant, they can live happily together.
-……………… In short, it is essential for all people to be aware of the importance of the family and form some certain qualities to live harmoniously together.
-……………… In the first place, patience is one of necessary qualities a person should have. Living with many people, including our
grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins under one roof means that we have to wait our turn for everything. For example, we may wait to use the bathroom.
Exercise 3. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answer the question about the passage.
Singapore, a beautiful island country, is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in Southeast Asia. It attracts more than 13
million tourists every year for three main reasons.
First, Singapore is the cleanest and safest country in Asia. Its capital is also named Singapore. This “lion city” is a model of the most
modern city in Southeast Asia. Tourists can walk and enjoy beautiful scenery without seeing garbage or smokers in public places. If
anyone, even a tourist, throws garbage away on the street, police will arrest them.
Second, the people of Singapore originally came from different countries like Malaysia, China, and India. This leads to the diversity in
Singapore’s culture. Tourists can take part in many interesting festivals and holidays throughout the year. They can also find traditional
food in Singapore. For example, if tourists love Chinese food, they should go to the China Town. Otherwise, if they want to enjoy Italian
food, they should go to a Western restaurant. In addition, English is an official language, so tourists should not have any trouble when speaking.
Third, although the country has many small tropical islands, it’s famous for some fabulous man-made beaches on Sensota Island such as
Palawan Beach and Siloso Beach. Most people do not realize that fact when they see them for the first time. It’s surprising because they
totally look like natural beaches.
