VI. Read the passage and choose the best answers.

I’m Phuong - a secondary student studying in Viet Nam. My mother tongue is Vietnamese. Besides, I can speak and write in English because it’s one of our compulsory subjects at school. For me, learning English is essential because it is one of the most widely-used languages in the world. Many other countries in the world use English as well, and it is commonly accepted and understood as the primary language when it comes to working. So being able to have a basic grasp of the English language is necessary. I spend at least 2 hours learning English every day. I practice skills by listening to Spotlight, watching movies on Netflix, and chatting with my foreign friends. Additionally, I do grammar exercises, note down structures, and learn by heart all new words I come across. I hope that my fluency and proficiency in English are getting better and better.
