1. You have a pen pal in the UK. She wants to know about a tourist attraction in your area.
It’s good to hear from you. Now I’ll tell you about a tourist attraction in my city- Hoan Kiem Lake. Many local people and tourists like to visit Hoan Kiem Lake. It’s in Hoan Kiem District, centre of Ha Noi. The lake is special because its story is related to a legend of a King. If you go to the lake, you can enjoy some beautiful places such as Ngoc Son Temple, The Huc bridge or But Tower. This is a good place to take pictures with a lot of green trees. When you visit Ha Noi next year, I’ll take you there. Tell me about a tourist attraction in London.
2. Complete each of the following sentences using the cues given. You can use other words in addition to the cues to complete the sentences.
Phù Lãng is one of the most famous pottery villages in Viet Nam.
It is located along the Cầu River, about 60 kilometres from Ha Noi.
Potters have been at work in Phù Lãng for a long time since the Trần Dynasty.
In the past village potters mainly produced articles for everyday life.
Recently young artisans have opted to produce artistic ceramics.
