I. LISTENING
TEXT 5: Listen and fill in the blanks
Once (1) (upon) a time there was a king who had three daughters. He wanted to choose one of them to be the queen. He called the daughters to him and said, “My dear children, I love all three of you (2) (dearly) and for a long time I have not known which one of you to name as queen.
Now I have decided. The one who brings me a birthday present which is most necessary to human life shall be queen. Go and make your plans.”
The king’s birthday (3) (arrived). The two oldest daughters brought him presents that were very necessary, but were also very, very expensive. However, the youngest daughter only brought him a small (4) (pile) of salt. When the king saw her present, he became very angry. He told the daughter to leave the castle and never come back.
The daughter left her father’s castle. She had nowhere to go. She (5) (wandered) in the forest and was very hungry and cold. As she walked along one day, a prince saw her and fell in love with her at once. She agreed to marry him and a great party was planned at the prince’s castle. The king was invited, but he did not know that the (6) (bride) was his daughter.
Well, the girl told the cook to make all the (7) (dishes) for the party with no salt. At the wedding, everyone started eating and they found that the food had no taste. One (8) (guest) said, “There is no salt in the meat.” Then everyone started saying, “There is no salt in the meat.”
Then, the king said very sadly, “(9) (Truly), I now know how necessary salt is. But, because I didn’t know that before, I sent my own daughter away and I will never see her again.”
When the daughter heard this, she went to the king and made herself (10) (known). They all lived happily ever after.
Sinh nhật của vị vua đã đến. Hai cô con gái lớn mang đến những món quà rất cần thiết nhưng cũng rất đắt tiền. Tuy nhiên, cô con gái út chỉ mang đến cho ông một nhúm muối nhỏ. Khi vị vua nhìn thấy món quà, ông rất tức giận. Ông bảo cô con gái rời khỏi lâu đài và đừng bao giờ quay lại.
Cô con gái rời khỏi lâu đài của cha. Cô không có nơi nào để đi. Cô lang thang trong rừng, rất đói và lạnh. Vào một ngày nọ khi cô đang đi bộ, một hoàng tử nhìn thấy cô và đem lòng yêu cô ngay lập tức. Cô đồng ý kết hôn với chàng và một bữa tiệc lớn được tổ chức tại lâu đài của hoàng tử. Vị vua được mời nhưng ông không biết rằng cô dâu chính là con gái mình.
Cô gái bảo đầu bếp làm tất cả các món ăn cho bữa tiệc mà không có muối. Tại lễ cưới, mọi người bắt đầu ăn và thấy thức ăn không có vị gì. Một vị khách nói: “Không có muối trong thịt.” Sau đó mọi người đều nói: “Không có muối trong thịt.”
Lúc đó, vị vua nói rất buồn bã: “Thực sự, bây giờ ta mới biết muối cần thiết như thế nào. Nhưng vì trước đây ta không biết điều đó, ta đã đuổi con gái ruột của mình đi và ta sẽ không bao giờ gặp lại con bé nữa.”
Khi nghe điều này, cô con gái bước đến chỗ vị vua và tiết lộ thân phận của mình. Sau đó họ sống hạnh phúc mãi mãi.

OUR GREAT OCEAN ROAD ADVENTURE
My family and I recently went to Australia, to see my grandparents. But before we visited them, we went sightseeing along the Great Ocean Road, on the Australian coast.
Dad had intended to drive, but even though he was used to driving miles without getting exhausted, he then read on the website that the road wouldn’t be an easy drive, with a number of sharp bends. Anyway, we thought he deserved to enjoy the fantastic views too, which he couldn’t do as our driver. So, we persuaded him to book discount bus tickets and off we went.
Our first stop was where wild kangaroos lived – and Dad and I were taking a walk when a big one appeared! For a moment, it seemed to consider coming towards us, which made me slightly nervous – but then it went off along the road, stopping to check if we were following. Although it was with us for a while, I was so excited I didn’t even manage to pull out my camera. Then it looked back once more and went off into the bushes.
That wasn’t the only wildlife we saw. I thought it unlikely we’d see Australia’s famous koala bears during our short visit, as I’d heard they were rare – but we weren’t disappointed at our next stop. In fact, we discovered there were roughly six million in that area! Sadly, some gum trees they were in had very few leaves left, which people told us was because of the koalas, although I’d read that lack of water is actually the problem. Still, I guess they looked cute and were easy to find – we just followed the tourists looking up into the trees!
Dad had booked a campsite for the night, with ready-made tents – for an adventure! I wasn’t sure about that, but they were actually luxury tents, within walking distance of some famous rocks and other places we hoped to visit. However, Dad also said the sounds of wild creatures would help us sleep. That sounded worrying – until the ‘wild creatures’ turned out to be frogs! So I was embarrassed by my fears – and kept awake by the frogs! But we had fun making meals together – we’d brought food, as we knew there’d be nowhere to eat. In fact, this whole trip was fantastic!
