Reading
Read the passage carefully.
Hello, my name is Hoa. Now, I’ll tell you about my way to learn English vocabulary. I have a little notebook. I always have it with me. I try to fill one page a day. Sometimes I put words in groups, like fruit – all kinds of fruit, or colours, or clothes, or things in the shop where you buy them. I have some grammar pages, where I write regular verbs and irregular verbs, and a page of prepositions. I think prepositions are difficult to remember. For example, the English say ‘in the morning’, but ‘at night’. In English, it’s correct to say ‘phone somebody’, while in Vietnamese, it’s correct to say ‘phone to somebody’.
