relaxed. Sometimes, I also help my mum cook dinner.

Teacher: That’s very nice, Nam. Do you do anything special at weekends?
Nam: Yes, my friends and I often join a volunteer group. We visit the nursing home to talk 
with the elderly and help clean the garden there.
Teacher: Wonderful! I hope all of you will join our school volunteer project this weekend. 
We’ll clean the park near the school.
Mai: Wow, that’s a meaningful activity! Count me in!
Audio script 2:
I love reading books in my free time. I usually spend about three hours a week reading. It 
helps me become more creative and relaxed after studying. I started this hobby two years 
ago, when my teacher gave me a book about village life. Since then, I’ve collected more than 
twenty books. Reading helps me learn new vocabulary and understand different cultures. 
Sometimes, I share interesting stories with my friends, and we discuss the lessons in them. In 
the evening, I often read books before going to bed, especially on rainy nights. It’s such a 
peaceful and enjoyable habit for me.

Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there. 
However, I come from a small village and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main 
 DeThiTiengAnh.net Bộ 14 Đề thi giữa Kì 1 Tiếng Anh 8 Smart World (Có đáp án) - DeThiTiengAnh.net
reason I prefer village life is because it is very quiet, so 1 always feel calm when I’m here. 
Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger 
gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m interested in 
wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.
The only downside (nhược điểm) is transport. I have an early start for a long journey to 
school in Faro and the school bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it’s 
boring sometimes, but I enjoy chatting to my friends. Fortunately, I’m learning to ride a 
moped. On balance, I disagree that city life is better, as I think my village lifestyle is 
healthier and more relaxing. In spite of that, some of my friends couldn’t cope with life in 
the country, so it comes down to personal opinion.
