Thầy Giáo Trần Thanh Tùng; page: TIẾNG ANH THẦY TÙNG; �� 0901531555 hoặc 0931015333 (zalo/sms) Page 4 of 6 The following passage has ten words that need correction. Find the words and correct them.

He’s wearing tight jeans, no glasses, and is a super ball of energy. He is extraordinary polite, slim, well turned out. If you’d never seen him before, you might assume he was a children’s television presenter. But at the age of just 24 he has 16 movies behind him, eight of them Harry Potter blockbusters. It feels as if he’s been with us forever. The funny thing is, apart for the facial hair, he doesn’t really look any different from the schoolboy wizard whom made his screen debut in 2001. Yet over the past half-dozen years, it seems he has done everything he could to extinguish himself from Harry in the parts he has chosen to play. Radcliffe disagrees with this, said, ‘I pick films based on scripts and directors and parts. I’m not interested in making films I’ve seen before. There’s nothing more excitement to me when I read a script than originality. That’s all it’s governed by – there’s no master plan to distance myself from Potter.’ He says he doesn’t want to sound ungratefully. ‘I know that Potter is going to be with me for the remains of my life, so trying to stop people talking about that any more is stupid. It’s just a fact of your life, so you can’t get annoyed by it. You have to accept the fact that you were involved in this incredibly cool thing and despite you might not always be happy with the work you did on it, the opportunity it has given you to make a career in yourself is amazing.’ PART FOUR READING COMPREHENSION TOTAL: 25 POINTS Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer that BEST fits the blank space in the following passage.
