Mr Nam, grandfather, a 70-year-old farmer

I was one of the few children in my village who was still at school at the age of 15. Every day, I got up early and walked to school. Learning then depended mostly on our teachers and textbooks. We had no library or lab. The nearest bookshop was six kilometres away. I learned simply by taking notes during class, memorising them, and doing the homework. Life then was simple. We rarely travelled outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.

Mai, granddaughter, a 15-year-old student

Learning today is very different from my grandfather’s time. It is easier and more convenient. Besides learning from teachers and textbooks, we use the Internet. It provides us with various online sources such as documents, clips, and programmes. Google helps us find the answers to almost any questions we have. The Internet also allows us to pursue our own interests. Learning has become more independent. Although most children in my village have fewer private learning facilities than the students in the city, we are still luckier than my grandfather's generation. We have TVs to watch at home and a library and computers at school.

Few people travelled outside their village, so __________

Lời giải:

Đáp án đúng: C

Few people travelled outside their village, so C. the villagers had limited knowledge about the world. (Ít người đi ra ngoài làng nên dân trong làng ít biết về thế giới.)

Thông tin: “We rarely travelled outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.” (didn’t know much = had limited knowledge; liên từ ‘so’ – ‘do đó’ chỉ quan hệ nguyên nhân – kết quả)

A. life in the village was simple (cuộc sống ở làng thật đơn giản) sai vì có nhắc đến trước đó nhưng không có mối quan hệ nguyên nhân – kết quả với việc ít người rời làng.

B. his school lacked learning facilities (trường ông thiếu CSVC học tập) sai vì có nhắc đến việc trường không có thư viện và phòng thí nghiệm nhưng không có mối quan hệ nguyên nhân – kết quả.

D. none of the villagers knew about city life (không có dân làng nào biết về cuộc sống ở thành phố) sai vì có biết nhưng biết hạn chế chứ không phải hoàn toàn không ai biết gì.
