They call Jamaica the "Island in the sun" and that is my memory of it. Of sunshine, warmth and abundant fruit that was growing everywhere, and of love. There were two sisters ahead of me in the family, and though of course I didn't know it, there was an exciting talk of emigration, possibly to Canada but more usually to England, the land of opportunity. I guess that plans were already being made when I was born, for a year or so later my Dad left for London. Two years after that my mum went as well and my sisters and I were left in the care of my grandmother.

Emigrating to better yourself was a dream for most Jamaicans, a dream many were determined to fulfill. Families were close and grandmothers were an important part of the family. So, when the mass emigrations began, it seemed perfectly right and natural for them to take over the running of families left behind.

Grandmothers are often strict, but usually also spoil you. She ran the family like a military operation: each of us, no matter how young, had our tasks. Every morning, before we went to school, we all had to take a bucket appropriate to our size and run a relay from the communal tap to the barrels until they are full. My sisters had to sweep the yard before they went to school. My grandmother would give orders to the eldest and these were passed down- as I got older I found this particularly annoying! But I can tell you, no one avoided their duties.

My Dad came over from England to see how we were getting on . He talked to us about the new country, about snow, about the huge city, and we all wanted to know more, to see what it was like. I didn't know it at that time., but he had come to prepare us for the move to England. Six months later my grandmother told me that I was going to join my parents and that she, too, was emigrating.

London was strange and disappointing. There was no gold on the pavements, as the stories in Jaimaica had indicated. The roads were busy, the buildings were grey and dull, with many tall, high-rise blocks. It was totally unlike Jamaica, the houses all small and packed close together. In my grandmother's house I had a big bedroom, here I had to share.

Then came the biggest shock: snow. While flakes came out of the sky and Dad smiled, pointed and said: "That's snow!" I rushed outside, looked up and opened my mouth to let the flakes drop in. The snow settled on my tongue and it was so cold that I cried. My toes lost all feeling. As my shoes and socks got wet and frozen, there came an excruciating pain and I cried with the intensity of it. I didn't know what was happening to me.

According to the writer, many people from Jamaica at that time ________.

A. wanted to be free from responsibility

B. wanted to improve their standard of living

C. had ambitions that were unrealistic

D. dislike the country they came from

Martha và Ellen sẽ làm gì trong lần mưa tiếp theo?

A. Ở trong nhà.

B. Làm bài tập về nhà.

C. Đi dạo.

D. Tới nhà bạn bè của họ.

Dẫn chứng ở câu cuối cùng: “We planned on hiking in the rain again.” – (Chúng tôi dự định sẽ đi bộ tiếp vào lần sau khi trời mưa).

Dịch bài

Mưa đang trút xuống trên mái nhà. Tôi cố gắng đọc sách nhưng tiếng mưa quá lớn. Tôi không thể ngăn bản thân khỏi tâm trạng hơi bực dọc. Tôi muốn ra ngoài chơi nhưng trời mưa đang giữ chân tôi lại trong nhà.

Mẹ tôi đã đi tới cửa hàng tạp hóa, và bố tôi thì dành cả ngày thứ 7 ở công sở. Tôi đã định dành cả ngày để đi tản bộ, nhưng mẹ thiên nhiên quyết định rằng ngày hôm nay thật hoàn hảo để cho mưa xuống.

Điều đó có nghĩa là tôi sẽ phải tự giải trí một mình. Tôi dành gần như cả buổi sáng để chơi với thú nhồi bông và đọc sách. Tôi ngồi cạnh cửa sổ và nảy ra một ý tưởng lạ lùng: Tại sao không cứ thế mà ra ngoài nhỉ?.

Tôi đi ủng và mặc một chiếc áo mưa cỡ lớn và bước ra thế giới ẩm ướt bên ngoài. Trời mưa nặng hạt nhưng không hề lạnh. Tất cả những gì tôi có thể nghe được là tiếng mưa rơi và tiếng gió rít. Tôi quyết định cứ đi tiếp dù thế nào đi chăng nữa.

Chân tôi không hề tạo ra một tiếng động nào trên mặt đất ướt nhẹp và khu rừng trông có vẻ khác mọi ngày. Tôi đi tới nơi yêu thích và ngồi xuống. Vào mùa hè, tôi thường cùng Ellen- cô bạn thân tới đây và ngồi hằng giờ. Bất chợt, tôi nghĩ là tôi đã nghe thấy tiếng ai đó gọi tên mình. Tôi quay đầu lại và thấy Ellen đang đi về phía mình.

“Trời ạ, đúng là cậu rồi Martha” Cô ấy nói. “Tới không thể tin nổi cậu ở đây ngay lúc này”. Tôi đã nghĩ rằng tôi là người duy nhất đủ điên rồi để đi bộ khi trời mưa.

Tôi rất hạnh phúc khi có thêm người bạn đồng hành. Chúng tôi đã kết luận rằng tản bộ dưới mưa cũng thú vị như khi tản bộ trong tiết trời nắng đẹp
