TASK 1
1. B 2. B 3. A 4. A 5. C
Script:
Trung: What do you think about the traffic in Ho Chi Minh City, Alisa?
Alisa: Well, honestly, it has a few problems. As an exchange student living here for half 
 a year, I’m not used to travelling in the streets.
Trung: Could you explain it clearly?
Alisa: You know, there are a huge number of vehicles running so fast every minute, so I 
 find it dangerous to go cycling or cross the streets in the rush hour. 
Trung: Yes, I also think that traffic congestion here is a complicated problem, especially 
 in the rainy season.
Alisa: I totally agree. Although I can take a bus to school, it usually takes me a lot of time 
 to wait for it, so it’s really uncomfortable to get wet at the bus stop when it rains 
 hard. 
Trung: Oh, I see. Do you have any suggestions to solve this issue?
Alisa: It’s hard to say, but I think the city authorities should widen the streets as well as 
 build a modern underground system.
Trung: Couldn't agree more!

TASK 2
Sample writing:
 I live in a big city and there is always busy traffic on the streets. About 6.30 every 
weekday people often travel to work or to school in a hurry by bicycles, motorbikes and 
cars, so there is always heavy traffic. The same situation happens at 5.30 p.m. when 
everybody gets home. As a result, there are often traffic jams at the busy crossroads or 
roundabouts during rush hours. Heavy traffic also causes air pollution and we are trying 
our best to use bicycles and buses more often to save the environment.
