A. LISTENING 
Typescript 
	Hi! My name 's Jimmy. I'm taking a 12-month English course here in London. I'm going to work for a bank, an international bank in Tokyo when the course finishes. Therefore I need English for my job. When I was at school and at university I studied English. But I had forgotten a lot of it before I came here. Now I have to learn hard to improve my listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Everyday I write diary. I also practice writing poems. Sometimes I write letters in English. Listening used to be my biggest problem. It was hard for me to understand people here especially when they talk very quickly. But now it's getting better. I make use of every chance to speak English with my classmates and my teachers. I listen to the tapes, to English songs and watch TV. I hope I will speak good English after the course.

 Dear Mom and Dad!
Life in Ho Chi Minh City is very exciting.
It is a large city and it is also very interesting.
Yesterday We saw a street musician in/at a hotel.
He played the guitar beautifully. Everything seems strange here for us .
You are surprised to see us, aren’t you /
We walked happily on the busy street and the noise did not bother us at all.
I’ll send a photo of our hotel. It looks nice, doesn’t it ?
It is so quiet that we can hardly believe it is in HCM City.
Every one here is very nice and they always smile happily.
We hope you are both well. Please give my love to every one and write to me soon
 Love,
 ..
