Write a passage of (120-150 words) about the change of Vietnamese countryside on your village, hometown.
Gợi ý: Growing up in a rural Vietnamese village, I have witnessed remarkable changes in the countryside over the years. The village, which was once surrounded by vast rice fields and simple homes made of mud and straw, has given way to a more developed and modern landscape. The landscape has changed with the arrival of new houses with modern architecture, high-tech farming methods, and paved roads leading to the village. The countryside has seen significant improvements in infrastructure, including electricity, clean water, and telecommunication facilities. There are now more job opportunities and better access to education and healthcare services. However, these changes have also brought with them some challenges. For example, the once-pristine natural environment is now compromised by the rampant use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, leading to pollution in the water and soil. Despite the challenges, the transformation of the countryside has had a positive impact on the lives of villagers. They now have better living standards and are more connected to the outside world. The evolution of the countryside has brought about a shift towards modernization while maintaining the traditional values of Vietnamese culture.
Dịch: Lớn lên ở một làng quê Việt Nam, tôi đã chứng kiến những thay đổi rõ rệt ở nông thôn trong những năm qua. Ngôi làng từng được bao quanh bởi những cánh đồng lúa rộng lớn và những ngôi nhà đơn sơ làm bằng bùn và rơm nay đã nhường chỗ cho một cảnh quan phát triển và hiện đại hơn. Cảnh quan đã thay đổi với sự xuất hiện của những ngôi nhà mới với kiến trúc hiện đại, phương pháp canh tác công nghệ cao và những con đường trải nhựa dẫn vào làng. Vùng nông thôn đã chứng kiến những cải thiện đáng kể về cơ sở hạ tầng, bao gồm điện, nước sạch và các cơ sở viễn thông. Hiện nay có nhiều cơ hội việc làm hơn và khả năng tiếp cận tốt hơn với các dịch vụ giáo dục và chăm sóc sức khỏe. Tuy nhiên, những thay đổi này cũng mang lại cho họ một số thách thức. Ví dụ, môi trường tự nhiên nguyên sơ một thời hiện đang bị tổn hại do việc sử dụng tràn lan thuốc trừ sâu và phân bón hóa học, dẫn đến ô nhiễm nguồn nước và đất. Bất chấp những thách thức, sự chuyển mình của nông thôn đã có tác động tích cực đến cuộc sống của người dân trong làng. Bây giờ họ có mức sống tốt hơn và được kết nối nhiều hơn với thế giới bên ngoài. Sự phát triển của nông thôn đã mang lại sự thay đổi theo hướng hiện đại trong khi vẫn duy trì các giá trị truyền thống của văn hóa Việt Nam.

The passage below contains 10 errors. UNDERLINE and CORRECT them.
After an absence in thirty years, I decided visiting my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but no a completely different building. As I walked up the school ground, I wondered for a moment if I had come at the right address. The grimy, red brick fortress with their tall windows that had looked up grimly on the playground and playing fields had swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block risen from the ground on great concrete stilts. A huge expanse of glass extending across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn where previous there had been untidy gravel yard.

More than two hundred years ago, the term 'environmental pollution was quite strange to people. They lived healthily, drank pure water, and breathed fresh air. Nowadays, the situation is quite different. People all over the world are worried about things that are happening to the environmental pollution. Actually it is man that is destroying the surroundings with many kinds of wastes. Everybody knows that motorbikes and cars emit dangerous gases that cause poisonous air and cancer, but no one wants to travel on foot or by bicycle. Manufactures know that wastes from factories make water and soil polluted, but they do not want to spend a lot of their money on treating the wastes safely.
