C. READING
IX Read the passage and do the tasks below.
Viet Nam is famous for many delicious kinds of food such as
spring rolls, seafood, Pho and Che as well. Of all, I like Pho the
most. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup, usually served with beef or
chicken. The soup includes noodles made from rice and is often
served with Vietnamese basil, mint leaves, lime, and bean sprouts
that are added to the soup by the person who is dining.
Vietnamese people love Pho and so do foreigners. I have a friend from England. Her
name is Anna. She has come to Viet Nam for three years. Anna works as an English teacher
in Ha Noi. She likes Pho so much that she eats Pho three times a day. Normally we eat Pho in
a restaurant, but sometimes my mother cooks at home. I think Pho in a restaurant is more
delicious than that at home because it has a special smell.

Dear ...Sam.....................,
My name is Van, and I'd want to introduce myself. Today I'd like to inform you about a
popular Vietnamese meal. That's pho for you. In our country, Vietnam, pho is the most popular
and unique cuisine. Pho is divided into two types: beef and chicken. Pho is a transparent beef
broth served in a bowl with a special cut of white rice noodles and thin slices of meat (steak,
fatty flank, lean flank, brisket). Chicken Pho uses the same spices as beef pho, but the soup is
composed entirely of chicken bones and meat, as well as some internal organs such the heart,
undeveloped eggs, and gizzard. For breakfast, I always have a bowl of hot and spicy Pho. In
Vietnam, mornings are a unique time for pho. Pho is one of my favorite dishes, and I could eat it
every morning without getting bored. Bye-bye.
