I. READING
1. Read the passage about the Complex of Hue Monuments. Answer the questions.
The Complex of Hue Monuments is located in and around Hue City. Hue was established as the capital of Viet Nam in 1802. It was the political, cultural and religious centre under the Nguyen Dynasty.
The Ngu Binh Mountain and the Perfume River, which runs through the city, give this unique feudal capital great natural beauty.
The central structure is the Hue Citadel. It was the administrative centre of southern Viet Nam during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Outside the Capital City there are several other monuments: Van Mieu (Temple of Literature), Dan Nam Giao (Esplanade of Sacrifice to the Heaven and Earth), Ho Quyen (Royal Area), Den Voi Re (Temple of the Roaring Elephant), and Chua Thien Mu (Celestial Lady Pagoda). Further upstream, arranged along the Perfume River were the tombs of the dynasty's emperors.

2. Read about traffic problems in two cities. Match the city with its problem.
A. Ho Chi Minh City
B. Bangkok
In Ho Chi Minh City, it is not strange to see the sight of a street that is crowded with vehicles. People cannot move and their health is affected by polluted air from exhausted fumes. What are the reasons? The citizens in the city use many personal vehicles to go from one place to another. They aren't used to transporting by public transports. May be because the bus drivers are careless, impolite to them or the taxi fare is too high for some people.
Bangkok is world renowned for its terrible traffic problems, so getting around on the roads is a bit of a nightmare. In my opinion, there are 3 main causes of Bangkok traffic jams. First, the quality of public transportation is low. Bus is of low quality and causes congestion. Second, the BTS and MRT are not enough for users. Finally, the most important cause of traffic jam is car accidents. Bad bus drivers cause accidents frequently and make the road stuck for hours.
PROBLEMS
1. It has low quality public transport.
2. It costs a lot to go by taxi.
3. There are not enough MRTs for its inhabitants.
4. Its citizens use a lot of personal vehicles.
5. There is a high frequency of accidents.
