Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions. 
My family consists of four people. There’s my father whose name is Jan, my mother whose name is Marie, 
my brother, Peter and of course, me. I have quite a large extended family as well but, only the four of us live 
together in our apartment in a block of flats. My father is fifty-two years old. He works as an accountant in an 
insurance company. He is tall and slim, has got short brown and gray hair and blue eyes. My father likes gardening 
very much as well as listening to music and reading books about political science. His special hobbies are bird 
watching and travelling. 
Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she works as a nurse in a 
hospital. She is small, and slim, has short brown hair and green eyes. She likes bird watching and travelling too, so 
whenever my parents are able to they go some placeinteresting for nature watching. Since we have a cottage with a 
garden they both spend a lot of time there. My brother is sixteen. He is slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes. 
He also attends high school. He is interested in computers and sports like football and hockey. He also spends a lot 
of time with his friends. 
I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of seventy-eight so 
she still lives in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. Both my grandfathers died from cancer 
because they were smokers, which was really a great tragedy because I didn’t get chance to know them. My other 
grandmother died just a few years ago. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The cousin I’m closest to is 
my uncle’s daughter Pauline. We have a lot in common because we are both eighteen and so we are good friends. 
My parents have assignedme certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping out because everyone in a 
family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and the shopping. Of course I also 
have to help keep my room tidy as well. My brother is responsible for the dusting and mopping. He also has to clean 
his own room. Even though my brother and I sometimes fight about who has to do what job, we are still very close. I 
am also very close to my parents and I can rely on them to help me. My patents work together to keep our home 
well maintained and it seem they always have a project or another that they are working on. They respect each 
other’s opinions and even if they disagree they can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a 
family like ours.

answer to each of the questions. 
 Fog is a cloud in contact with or just above the surface of land or sea. It can be a major environmental 
hazard. Fog on highways can cause chain-reaction accidents involving dozens of cars. Delays and shutdowns at 
airports can cause economic losses to airlines and inconveniences to thousands of travelers. Fog at sea has always 
 Trang -Mó đề 489 2/5 
been a danger to navigation. Today, with supertankers carrying vast quantities of oil, fog increases the possibility of 
catastrophic oil spills. 
The most common type of fog, radiation fog, forms at night, when moist air near the ground loses warmth 
through radiation on a clear night. This type of fog often occurs in valleys, such as California's San Joaquin Valley. 
Another common type, advection fog, results from the movement of warm, wet air over cold ground. The air loses 
temperature to the ground and condensation sets in. This type of fog often occurs along the California coast and the 
shores of the Great Lakes. Advection fog also forms when air associated with a warm ocean current blows across 
the surface of a cold current. The thick fogs of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, are largely of this origin; 
because here the Labrador Current comes in contact with the warm Gulf Stream. Two other types of fog are 
somewhat more unusual. Frontal fog occurs when two fronts of different temperatures meet, and rain from the warm 
front falls into the colder one, saturating the air. Steam fog appears when cold air picks up moisture by moving other 
warmer water.

A. advection fog B. steam fog C. radiation fog D. frontal fog
