REVIEW FOR TEST 1
A. Reading :
I.Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
In our daily activities we often get in touch with the others and from these relations we meet some people whose interests, characteristics and behaviors are similar to ours and we choose them as our friends.
To me, one of my best friends is Nam. Nam is only over eighteen but he is well developed; so he is thought to be twenty or more. He has black hair, a broad forehead, a straight nose and bright eyes. He is very good-looking. He has a kind heart and is easy to get on with everybody. We have been friends for a very long time. Nam and I are keen on learning. We are the best students in our class. Nam is always at the top. He is good at every subject, but he never shows pride in his abilities and always tries to learn harder. I like Nam very much because of his honesty and straight forwardness. He is always ready to help his weak friends in their study; as a result, lots of friends, thanks to his whole-hearted help, have become good ones.
. In my relation with Nam, I have got precious experience: thirst for learning, patience to overcome difficulties, helpfulness.
