Unit 4 - Đọc hiểu & Từ vựng: My neighborhood

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

A suburb is a residential area located on the outskirts of a city. My neighborhood is a quiet suburb, faraway from the busy and crowded city center. We have many interesting places nearby, like an art gallery, a cathedral, and a railway station. The art gallery is my favorite place to visit because it has amazing paintings and sculptures. The cathedral is also famous and beautiful, and I love to go there to admire the architecture.

In my neighborhood, there are also some small workshops where people create and repair things. Our streets are not wide, and there is a sandy square where people can sit and enjoy the outdoor space. Sometimes, when I reach a turning, I discover new places to explore. However, I dislike crossing the street because it can be dangerous. Despite this, I enjoy living in my neighborhood because it has a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

Which interesting places are mentioned in the text?

What does the pronoun "it" in the first paragraph refer to?

What does the word "famous" mean in the context of the text?

What does the author find unpleasant about his neighborhood?
