Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

‘A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right.' These are the words of Mollie Hunter, a well known author of books for youngsters. Born and bred near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market. In Mollie's opinion it is essential to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing: 'If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed,' she says.

With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Molly is indeed an entertainer. 'I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,' she says. This love goes back to early childhood. 'I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said "Nonsense, Mollie dear, you'll be a writer." So eventually I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher - and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.’

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.

Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields - sadly now covered with modern houses. 'I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back,' she said. 'Never.' 'When I set one of my books in Scotland,' she said, 'I can recapture my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.'

To this day, Mollie has a lively affection for children, which is reflected in the love she has for her writing. 'When we have visitors with children the adults always say, "If you go to visit Mollie, she'll spend more time with the children." They don't realise that children are much more interesting company. I've heard all the adults have to say before. The children have something new.'

What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A. It should be based on original ideas

B. It should not aim at a narrow audience

C. It should not include too much information

D. It should be attractive to young readers

Chọn C

Dịch bài đọc:

'Một cuốn sách tốt cho trẻ em chỉ đơn giản là một cuốn sách tốt theo đúng nghĩa của nó.' Đây là những lời của Mollie Hunter, một tác giả nổi tiếng về sách dành cho giới trẻ. Sinh ra và lớn lên gần Edinburgh, Mollie đã dành tài năng của mình để viết chủ yếu cho những người trẻ tuổi. Cô tin chắc rằng luôn luôn có và nên luôn có đối tượng rộng hơn cho bất kỳ cuốn sách hay nào bất kể thị trường chính của nó nhắm vào ai. Theo ý kiến của Mollie, việc sử dụng toàn bộ ngôn ngữ là điều cần thiết và cô ấy thích kể chuyện, đó là điều mà mọi nhà văn nên làm: 'Nếu bạn không kể chuyện, thực sự bạn là một nhà văn rất chết', cô nói .

Với chức năng chính của một nhà văn là giải trí, Molly thực sự là một nghệ sĩ giải trí. "Tôi có tình yêu lớn này không chỉ về ý nghĩa của ngôn ngữ mà cả âm nhạc của ngôn ngữ", cô nói. Tình yêu này trở lại thời thơ ấu. 'Tôi đã kể chuyện. Tôi có một giáo viên ở trường, người thường hỏi chúng tôi muốn làm gì khi chúng tôi lớn lên và vì gia đình tôi luôn có chó và tôi rất giỏi trong việc xử lý chúng, tôi nói tôi muốn làm việc với chó và giáo viên luôn nói "Vô nghĩa, Mollie thân yêu, em sẽ là một nhà văn." Vì vậy, cuối cùng tôi đã nghĩ rằng người phụ nữ này phải có một cái gì đó, vì cô ấy là một giáo viên giỏi - và tôi đã quyết định khi chín tuổi rằng tôi sẽ là một nhà văn.

Ý định thời thơ ấu này được mô tả trong cuốn tiểu thuyết A Sound of Chariots của cô, mặc dù được viết ở ngôi thứ ba rõ ràng là tự truyện và đưa ra một bức tranh về tham vọng của Mollie và cuộc đấu tranh của cô đối với thành tựu của nó.

Những suy nghĩ về thời thơ ấu của cô chắc chắn đã mang đến những suy nghĩ về thời gian khi nhà cô vẫn còn là một ngôi làng với những đồng cỏ bơ và những cánh đồng dâu tây - thật đáng buồn bây giờ được bao phủ bởi những ngôi nhà hiện đại. 'Tôi đã từng được trở lại đó để xem và tôi cảm thấy rằng ai đó đã nhúng những bàn tay bẩn thỉu vào suốt thời thơ ấu của tôi. Tôi sẽ không bao giờ quay trở lại, 'cô nói. 'Không bao giờ.' 'Khi tôi đặt một trong những cuốn sách của mình ở Scotland,' cô nói, 'Tôi có thể lấy lại cảm xúc lãng mạn của mình khi còn là một đứa trẻ chơi trên những cánh đồng đó, hoặc xem thợ rèn trong làng làm việc. Và điều đó rất quan trọng, vì trẻ em bây giờ biết rất sớm nên sự lãng mạn không thể tồn tại với chúng, như nó đã làm cho chúng ta.’

Cho đến ngày nay, Mollie có một tình cảm sống động dành cho trẻ em, điều này được thể hiện qua tình yêu mà cô dành cho bài viết của mình. 'Khi chúng tôi có khách có trẻ em, người lớn luôn nói: "Nếu bạn đến thăm Mollie, cô ấy sẽ dành nhiều thời gian hơn cho trẻ em." Họ không nhận ra rằng trẻ em là công ty thú vị hơn nhiều. Tôi đã nghe tất cả những người lớn phải nói trước đây. Những đứa trẻ có một cái gì đó mới.
