D. WRITING (1.5 pts)

I. Find out and correct the mistake in each sentence. (0.5 pt)

1. Incorrect: Because it is a comedy, I don't find it funny. Corrected: Although it is a comedy, I don't find it funny. (The use of "because" implies a reason why you would find it funny, which contradicts the second part of the sentence. "Although" shows a contrast.)

2. Incorrect: I have bought a umbrella for my sister. Corrected: I have bought an umbrella for my sister. (The word "umbrella" starts with a vowel sound, so it requires the indefinite article "an" instead of "a".)

II. Rearrange the words/phrases to make correct sentences. You cannot change the words. (0.5 pt)

1. Using / e-bikes / way / convenient / is / and / green / to / travel / a /. Rearranged: Using e-bikes is a convenient and green way to travel.  

2. are / protect / Scientists / new / sources / developing / to / the / energy / environment /. Rearranged: Scientists are developing new energy sources to protect the environment.

III. Complete the second sentences so that the meaning stays the same. (0.5 pt)  

1. Huong tried hard to pass the final exam. However, she failed it. (although) Completed: Although Huong tried hard to pass the final exam, she failed it.  

2. Hoa sings beautifully. Hoa's sister sings more beautifully than her. (as... as) Completed: Hoa sings beautifully, but Hoa's sister doesn't sing as beautifully as her. (To maintain the meaning that the sister sings more beautifully, we need to express that Hoa's singing is less beautiful.)
