READING
1. Read the passage below and choose the option that best completes/ answers each
of the following questions. (5 points)
Dear Helen,
I am spending my holidays in Viet Nam. As a food lover, I feel like I am in
heaven. Wherever I go, I can find a food stall. Vietnamese street food is really diverse. It
can be a snack like "goi cuon" (an action-packed salad roll) or "che" (sweet dessert
soup). It can be dishes for the main meals of the day. I have tried "pho" (beef noodle
soup), "banh mi" (bread with meat and pickled vegetables), "com tarn" (broken rice with
grilled pork chop), "banh xeo" (savory pancakes served with pork, bean sprouts and
shrimps). All the dishes I have tried impress me a lot. They make great use of local
ingredients. Doctors will surely recommend these dishes because they have lots of
vegetables and there are not too many spices. Each dish is served beautifully as well. I
am quite surprised at how cheap the dishes are.
I believe Viet Nam is a perfect destination for a chef like you. I wish you were here with
me.
Love,
Tom
