Exercise 4: Read the text and choose the correct options.
Traffic jams and pollution are two big problems in the city. Traffic jams occur when there are too
many cars on the roads, making it difficult for people to move around quickly. To solve this, cities can
encourage people to use public transportation, like buses or trains, instead of driving their own cars.
This would reduce the number of vehicles on the roads, easing traffic congestion. Pollution is another
issue in cities because there is too much dirty air from vehicles and factories. One solution for this

4
problem is to plant more trees and create more green spaces in the city. Trees provide oxygen and
clean the air. By increasing the number of trees, cities can improve air quality and make the
environment healthier for everyone. In conclusion, we all need to work together to solve the problems
of traffic and pollution. By using public transportation and starting green projects like planting trees,
we can make our city environment more sustainable and enjoyable.

Vietnamese traditions are well preserved and passed down through generations thanks to the

invaders, such as China and France. This has made them very protective of their culture and traditions.
One of the most important traditions is Tet, the Lunar New Year. It takes place in January or February.

year. There are many delicious foods to eat at Tet, such as “banh chung”, which is sticky rice with
pork inside, wrapped in “dong” leaves.
Another important tradition is ancestor worship. Vietnamese people believe that when someone dies,
their soul lives on and can protect the family. They have an altar in their house where they put
pictures of their ancestors. Every day, they light incense and offer food and drink to their ancestors.
During Tet, they invite their ancestors’ spirits to join the celebrations. They also clean and decorate
