Câu 1: Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Our home is a small but cozy house nestled in a quiet street in Hanoi. There are five of us: my parents, my younger brother, my grandmother, and me, Linh. Despite the occasional disagreements that come with living together, there’s an undeniable warmth and sense of belonging that makes our house a true home.
Our mornings are a symphony of coordinated chaos. My mother, a primary school teacher, is usually the first one up, preparing breakfast. My father, an engineer, helps set the table or makes coffee. My brother, Quan, is notoriously slow at getting ready, often needing reminders to finish his breakfast or pack his bag. My grandmother, who is retired, often potters in the small garden or prepares fresh tea. My role varies – sometimes I help Mum, sometimes I rush through getting ready myself. It’s a busy start, but sharing that first meal together before everyone heads out is a cherished ritual.
Family responsibilities are shared, though not always perfectly equally. I"m expected to help with chores like cleaning and doing the dishes, especially on weekends. Quan is responsible for tidying his own space and helping with smaller tasks. My parents handle the finances and major household decisions, while my grandmother offers wisdom and helps with cooking and childcare if needed. This division of labour teaches us about contribution and mutual support.
Evenings are calmer. After dinner, we often gather in the living room. Sometimes we watch TV together, sometimes we just talk about our day. My father might help Quan with his homework, or my mother might discuss school matters with me. My grandmother enjoys telling us stories from her youth. These moments of shared time, simple as they are, strengthen our bonds and provide a sense of stability. Weekends might involve a family outing to a park or a visit to relatives, reinforcing our connection to the wider family network.
For me, home is more than just a building; it"s the people within it and the love and support we share. It"s the comfort of knowing you have a place where you are accepted and understood, even when you make mistakes. It"s the foundation that shapes who I am and gives me the strength to face the world outside. The routines, the shared meals, the quiet evenings – these are the threads that weave the fabric of our home life, creating a tapestry of shared experiences and enduring affection.
