B. READING 
I. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks. 
        Vietnam    usually     has  a  dozen    storms   every    year  from    June   through    the  end   of 
November, and most of which occur in the Central and northern provinces. November 2nd, 
1997,   however,   was   an   unexpected   day   when   the   major   storm   Linda   raged   in   the   South. 
Linda was the worst typhoon in Southern Vietnam over 100 years. Formed in the sea of the 
Philippines,   Linda   strengthened   as   it   moved   westward.   Later,   it   struck   extreme   Southern 
Vietnam  with   winds   of   100   kilometres   an   hour.   Over   3000   people   were   reported   lost   and 
died. Ca Mau province, suffered a direct hit by the storm, had the most damage. Gusts and 
heavy   rainfalls   caused  flooding,   destroyed   crops,   damaged   about   200,000   houses   and   left 
about 383,000 people homeless. Linda later struck Thailand, causing flash  flooding and at 
least 164 deaths. The storm also affected Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia to a 
lesser degree. 
        Today, residents in Mekong Delta still remember Linda after 20 years. The duration of 
the   time   is   enough   for   a   kid   to   grow   up   from   an   unforgettable   event.   The   memory   of   a 
particular typhoon improves everyone’s awareness of natural disasters. 
 Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F). 
1. The tropical storm Linda hit northern Vietnam on November 2nd, 1997. 
2. Linda was the worst typhoon in Vietnam for the last 100 years. 
3. From the Philippines, the storm moved west and struck Southern Vietnam with winds of 
100 km/h. 
4. Approximately 3,000 people were killed during the disaster. 
5. Ca Mau province was directly affected by the typhoon.

7. Typhoon Linda only struck Vietnam and Thailand. 
8. The storm gradually weakened as it passed over Myanmar.
