22. Reading Passage: My Best Friend
My Best Friend - By Minh Anh
My best friend is Lan. We have been friends since grade 1. She is 11 years old and she is in class 6A with me.
Lan is tall and slim. She has long black hair and a round face. She has big brown eyes and a small nose. She is very beautiful.
Lan is kind and friendly. She always helps me with my homework. She is also funny. She tells many interesting stories and makes me laugh. She is hard-working too. She studies very hard and gets good marks.
Now, Lan is sitting next to me. We are doing our English project together. She is drawing a picture while I am writing the description. We always work together on group projects.
I am very happy to have Lan as my best friend. She is not only a good friend but also a great classmate.
33. Reading Strategy
Reading tips:
- Xác định thông tin về ngoại hình (height, hair, eyes, face)
- Xác định thông tin về tính cách (kind, friendly, funny, hard-working)
- Chú ý thì của động từ: Present Simple cho mô tả chung, Present Continuous cho hành động đang xảy ra
