Tony: I'm having a birthday party on the 25th.  Can you come? 

Luisa: That's next Saturday, right? Yes, that sounds great. Are you having it at home? 

Tony: No, our apartment isn't big enough. I'm using my aunt and uncle's house. They're  really nice – they say it's fine. 

Luisa: That's kind of them - do they know how  many friends you've got? 

Tony: Not yet. I'm going to tell them later. We'll probably use the basement. It's huge. 

Luisa: A basement? Are you going to decorate it? 

Tony: I suppose so. I'm not very good at that  sort of thing. 

Luisa: Don't worry, I'll help you. What are you doing later? 

Tony: I'm going to text everybody to invite them now, but after that I'm free. 

Phương pháp giải

Tạm dịch:

Tony: Tôi sẽ tổ chức tiệc sinh nhật vào ngày 25. Bạn đến được không?

Luisa: Đó là thứ Bảy tới, phải không? Vâng, điều đó nghe có vẻ tuyệt vời. Bạn có nó ở nhà không?

Tony: Không, căn hộ của chúng tôi không đủ rộng. Tôi đang sử dụng nhà của dì và chú tôi. Họ thực sự rất tử tế – họ nói điều đó ổn.

Luisa: Họ là thế đấy - họ có biết bạn có bao nhiêu bạn bè không?

Tony: Chưa. Tôi sẽ nói với họ sau. Có lẽ chúng ta sẽ sử dụng tầng hầm. Nó rất lớn.

Luisa: Tầng hầm à? Bạn có định trang trí nó không?

Tony: Tôi cho là vậy. Tôi không giỏi mấy việc đó.

Luisa: Đừng lo lắng, tôi sẽ giúp bạn. Bạn sẽ làm gì sau đó?

Tony: Bây giờ tôi định nhắn tin mời mọi người, nhưng sau đó tôi rảnh.

Bài 1 :

1. Read a blog about a visit to an ancient house in Cần Tho. Which topic does the writer mention? 

(Đọc blog về chuyến thăm nhà cổ ở Cần Thơ. Người viết đề cập đến chủ đề nào?)

a. Location 

b. History of the house 

c. Interior design 

d. Surroundings 

e. Impressions / Opinions 

f. Recommendations 

21 July 

Last month, I visited Cần Thơ, a city located in the Mekong Delta region in the south of Việt Nam. Cần Thơ is famous for its canal network and floating markets. There are also many floating restaurants, bars and hotels. I was astonished at the beauty of the markets. It was a lovely place! The place that I was particularly impressed is Bình Thủy ancient house which is about 5 kilometres from Cần Thơ city centre. This French-style house was built in 1870 in an area of nearly 6,000 square metres. Until now, the house restores the interior features of a house in the rural areas in the Mekong Delta region during the 20th century. This is an ideal place to explore the history of the region. With front- and backyard gardens, the house looks like a comfortable home filled with fresh air! I would recommend spending half of a day in this place. I thought it was really relaxing!
