It is generally accepted that teenage is a difficult period of life for the teenager and

of every household with a teenager.
Parents expect children to come back home earlier. What parents consider the
reasonable time limit is not acepted by their teens. Curfew and time restriction become one

Teenage is the time when a lot of kids want to show their independence. The problem

bikes or motorbikes. This, of course, leads to more fights.

more socializing is very common among teens but parents are not sympathetic. Parents try to

that a growing body needs protein nutrition. As cold drinks, burgers, pizzas replaces
wholesome, home cooked meals, parents worry. Moreover, teenage is a time when
kidsbecome more and more consicious of their weight and body image. To achieve the ‘idea’
thin body type, girls often starve themselves and skip meals. Of course, this also leads to a
lot of arguments between parents who try to convince their daughters that proper meals are
more important than being thin .

Generation Gap: Causes and Solutions
Parents have a common complaint that their children after a certain age tend to
disrespect them. They look for more freedom and enjoy the company of their friends rather
than staying at home. These all are the changes when the kids grow from teenagers to
adulthood. This is the time when they want to be treated as big but the parents still consider
them small. They want to take their own decisions but they can’t because parents are there
to take any important decisions about their children. So these issues sometimes create a
problem and this is when the generation gap comes in.
There are lots of activities which interest the kids more but parents are not willing with
it. Instead of arguing with children and avoiding the discussion, it will be good that parents
take a step forward and talk to their children.
Parents are the best friend of their children as they act as both good parents and
friends. As parents have spent a large amount of their time with their kids, so it is necessary
that parents understand what their children are saying and how it can affect their life. Any
suggestions coming from parents can never be wrong, so teenagers should trust in them as
they always want their children to progress in life.
Commmunication is the best way to bridge the gap and find a perfect solution. Parents
should sit with their childrven and talk about their needs so that parents know their children’s
expectations. Parents can also listen to their problems and look for a solution which ¡s best
for them. Parents mustn’t force them to do anything without interest but make them aware
of their duties so that they do it willingly. As you are dealing with teenagers, you need to keep
yourself in their situation and then think about it.
If parents feel that their children are disrespecting, they then tell that ¡f their children
want respect, they need to give it to other people too. This is a lifetime lesson which they
need to learn as if is not limited to their home but also when they go out and work in any
organization.
Children must understand their limitations. lf they go beyond that, it will be difficult for
them. It is the duty of the parents that they make their kids understand their limitation and
define a boundary for them. This is done for the benefit of the children so that they know
what is right and what is wrong for them.
31. One of the main reasons of the generation gap ¡s that ________ .
A. children can make their own decisions
B. children were not able to make their own decisions

Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as
unimportant tasks can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed

prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more important.

Approximately one in fwo thousand people in Viet Nam has a significant hearing loss.
Students who have been deafened in early childhood can be very different to students who
have lost hearing later in life in terms of educational disadvanfage. For example, their range
of vocabulary may be limited, which in turn may affect their level of English literacy.
Deaf and hard of hearing students can sometimes prefer visual learning strategles.
This can be a challenge in an environment where much essental information is delivered
exclusively by word of mouth.
Students with a hearing loss may need to use assistive technology to participate in
class. This assistive technology can be the laptop where software such as Skype can be used
to deliver interpreters or captioning. For some, it will be in the form of listening devices. For
others, it will be a combination of technology that includes both listening devices and computer
based software.
The impact of hearing loss can cause delays in receiving learning material. Students
who need information transcribed from tape must sometimes walt for a significant period of
time for this to happen. This needs to be considered in terms of developing suitable timelines
for the completion of work for each student.
Students with hearing loss may appear isolated in the learning environment. The
possibility for social contact and interaction with other students is offen limited, and this
isolation or separateness may have an impact on learning. Participation and interaction in
tutorials may be limited. Students who cannot hear the flow and nuances of rapid verbal
exchange will be at a disadvantage.

who have lost hearing later in life because ________ .

One of the most amazing developments I’ve seen in education over the past ten years
is the way that technology has created a revolution in possibilities for disabled learners.
Text-to-Speech software helps students with visual impairments by allowing them to

listen to the text that appears on a computer screen. This is a huge improvernent over Braille
because once the programme is installed on the computer, it can read anything on the screen,
no matter what format it is in — pdf or website — with no waiting for a Braille translation.
This enables students to participate in online activitles, use email and text, and have
immediate access to course materials.
Visual aids include screen magnification software that enlarges portions of the screen
where the reader directs the mouse, screen reader software that translates screen text fo
Braille, text-to-speech programmes, or audio texts. All of these can be used by students of
many different kinds of visual disabilities.
Audio aids include alerting devices that use flashing lights or icons on the computer
screen rather than sounds to signal users, close-captioning for videos, TDD also known as
Telecommunication for the Deaf, and phones with Voice-Carry-Over technologies that allow
students with hearing difficulties to communicate over the phone with their own voice.
For students with physical disabilities, several technologtes are available to assist them
in completing their schoolwork, including audio books for students who cannot physically
handle books, keyboard adapters such as keyguards to prevent mistyping from tremors or
loss of control, or voice recognition software for students who cannot type.
Online education also helps disabled students because some of them study better in
an environment with limited distractions and more accessibility than might be available in
many classrooms or on very large campuses.

beautifUl hand-woven fabrics found ¡anywhere in the world. These textiles are surprising im
ther Iversity: from the j*a/s of Cambodia and Thailand, to the olden sozgkefof_- lIndonesa
and Malaysia, to the | Philippine øiza silk and the Vietnamese silk sửazung— cach counfry
offers its own cenfury-old weaving traditions †O VISItOTS.
Weaving at the household and village level 1s done on large wooden frame looms,
often under sfilt houses. Intricate Cambodian 7&as are world-renowned. l† can take up to
several days or more †o produce one meter of an Intricate /kaf/ pattern. jkaf patterns were
traditionally passed from generation fo generation by memory; prior to the war, more than
200 different patterns were known tfo be in existence, but 1f 1s unclear how many have
survived.
Artisans Angkor, located in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, tratns young
Cambodians ftom rural areas in the art of weaving and other Cambodian crafts.
In Thailand, the cultivation of silkworms and weaving can be traced back thousands
of vears. Weaving patterns of Thailand”s finest weaving, including zznee, or ikaf, are tịch and
diverse thanks to the infiuence of the different ethnic groups, Including Khmer and Lao
peoples. Ä#zđmee 1s woven throughout the northeast, with each local comưnunity having 1s
own distinc( síyles and designs, incorporating everything from nagas to elephants and
peacocks. While chemical dyes are widely available, some weavers continue fo practice
traditional dyeing methods passed down through the generatlons.
Viet Nam has become a center for large-scale silk worm and thread production in
Southeast Asia, including handloomed silk shanung and Jacquards, supplying 1fs nelghbors
where sericulture 1s lHmited or disappeared entirely during the war years. Vietnam has 54
different ethnic groups, each with therr own distinct weaving traditions. Among the Black Thai

THE ASEAN UNTVERSITY NETWORK
It is clear that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, established In

1967, has achieved remarkable progress in strengthening the ties and promoting cooperation
among countries ¡in Southeast Asia, especially in terms of cultural, economuc, and social
collaborations. However, it was not until the Fourth ASEAN Summit mm 1992 that cooperafion
in the fields of higher education and human resource development became the poInt of
attention ofthe ASEAN leaders.
The idea was later developed into the ASEAN Universtty Network (AUN). The network
was founded in November 1995 with the original number of 13 universitles in ASEAN member
countries. After the enlargement of ASEAN by the ASEAN Charter in 1997 and 1999, the AUN
membership increased to 20 member universities, with the addition of two universitles from
Myanmar, three from Laos, Malaysia, and Cambodia, and two om Indonesia.
The main objective of the AUN 1s to strengthen the existing nefwork of cooperation
among universities in ASEAN by promoting collaborative studies and research programines.
Furthermore, the AUN attempts to promote cooperation and solidarity among scienfists and
scholars in the region and to develop academic and professional human resources as welÏ as
to spread scientifitc knowiedge and information among the universif1es in the region.

Angkor was an early civilization that flourished in north-western Cambodia fom the
carly 800”s to the 1400”s. The most famous capital of this civilization was also called Angkor.
Cambodian kings bullt several cities between 820 and the ¡100”s. The city of Angkor was the
most magnificent. lt may have had a million people, more than any European city at that time.
The city included Angkor Thom, which was actually a city within the city of Angkor. The city
of Angkor also contained many temples and palaces. The city and its temples rank as one of
the artistic and architectural wonders of the world. Carved scenes of Cambodian life and
Buddhist or Hindu mythology decorafte the walls of the temples.
One of the temples, Angkor Wat, is probably the finest architectural monument in
Carnbodia. It has a pyramidal form which imitates the mythological home of the Hindu gods.
Angkor Wat was constructed ¡n the 1100”s to honour the Hindu god Vishnu. It was also used
as an astronomical observatory. Angkor Wat later became the tomb of the Cambodian king
who had ordered Its construction. Another temple, the Bayon, stands at the centre of Angkor
Thom. lt was dedicated to Buddha and the reigning king.
The civilization of Angkor reached ¡(s peak during the 1100”s and then began to
decline. Invasions from neighbouring Thailand, epidemics of malaria and disputes within the
Royal Cambodian family may have caused this decline. Thai Íorces captured the ciíy of Angkor
In 1431 but soon abandoned it and forest growth gradualiy covered most of the ciy. From the

Viet Nam Likely to Face Extreme Weather Conditions by 2050
Viet Nam is likely to continue facing extreme weather conditions such as higher
temperatures, lower summer rainfalls, stronger storms, and rising sea levels from now to
2050. Temperatures in northern Viet Nam will rise by between 0.83 degrees Celsius by 2050
and continue its uptrend during the late 21st cenfury. Summer rainfall will decline in most
areas. Meanwhile, storms may become rarer but flercer, causing possible flash floods and
landslides in food-prone areas of northern mountainous, central and central highland
provinces. The forecasts suggest sea level rises of 100mm-400mm along the entire
Vietnamese coast by the end of the 21st century, affecting marine biodiversity and coastal
communities. The experts emphasize the unpredictability of climate change and its potential
impacts to create a variety of dangerous extreme weather events in the fture.
To raise the public awareness of climate change impacts, the Vietnamese government
urges concerned agencies to work fogether on devising worst-case scenario models and
responses by 2020 and calls on international experts to further support Viet Nam in climate
change adaptation. Climate change is a real threat to Viet Nam’s socio-economic development.
If sea levels rose one meter, five percent of the country’s land, eleven percent of its population
and seven percent of its farmland would be affected.

Global warming and cooling have occurred naturally throughout history. But in the last
200 years, humans’ uses of fossil fuels and clear cutting of forests have increased the amount
of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap some of the radiation
from the sun which then increases the Earth's temperafure. Given the current state of
environmental pollution caused by human activilies, scientists believe the averape temperature
of the earth may increase 1-2 degrees Celsius which put simply, means some places will get
much hotter and some much colder. At the same time, this overall warming effect means
more frequent and more intense weather systems, especially in terms of flooding and droupht.
Viet Nam is one of the most vulnerable environments due to its location on the planet.
It is already subject to some of the earth’s most powerful weather systems and the increased
fequency and intensity of storms will affect it ofen and directly, especially in coastal areas
where most people live.
Various estimates have been made as to the possible impacts. The most đirectly affected
sector will be agriculture, which is very sensifive to flooding and the effects of extreme
weather.
Viet Nam has the advantage of coming relatively late into the industrialization,
urbanization, and modernization process. This means it can avoid many of the mistakes made
by wealthier industrial countries. For example, wireless communication networks can be built
from the start rather than installing lines that can easily be destroyed in exfreme weather.
Cities can be designed and located in less vuinerable locations. Climate-friendly building codes
and síandards can be crea(ed that are both more efficient and less prone to heat síress, wind
damage, and flooding. Climate friendly transport systems, especially public transport, can be
adopied.
36. The causes of global warming come from ________ .
A. the rise in the radiation om the sun

If you want to go to a universify, you usually apply during your last year at school, when
you are 17-18. You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a
university that is not in their own town. So, university students usually live away from home.
Students get a grant from the government to study. At the beginning of your last year at
school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose up to live universities that
you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universifiles with information from your
school about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your
application, they will ask you to attend an interview. If they are still interested after the
interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take
place several months before students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams that
you do at the end of your time at school. So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you
the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do your A-level exams. lf you don't
obfain those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place. lt will be offered to someone
else and you must apply again to another university. You don't have to accept your place
inmmediately. Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after
they have taken their A-level, they take a year out to work or travel.

Distant education is a rapidly developing approach to instructions throughout the

business. The approach has been widely used by business, industrial, and medical
organizations. For many years, doctors, veterinarians, pharmacists, engineers, and lawyers
have used it to continue their professional education. Recently, academic instructions have
been using distant education to reach a more diverse and geographically disperse audience
not accessible through traditional classroom insfructions.

and students during the learning process. The communication of the subject matter is
primarily to individuals rather than groups. As a consequence, the course content must be
đelivered by instructional media.
The media may be primarily printed, as in the case of traditional correspondence course.
Audiocassettes, videotapes, videodiscs, computer-based instructions, and interactive video
courses can be sent to individual students. In addition, radio, broadcast television,
telelectures, and teleconferences are utilized for “live” distant education. The latter two
delivery systems allow for interactive instructions between the instructor and students.

Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay is a group of offshore islands that is the best example of marine invaded
limestone region in the world. The Bay bolds over 1,600 islands and islets. There are caves
and grottoes, with stalactites and stalagmites. Its limestone pillars are a unique natural feature
of great scenic beauty and biological interest. The great exient and the richness of its forms
sets if apart from many other sites.
Ha Long Bay is an extremely popular destination both for foreigners and Vietnamese:
already in the early 1990s it saw over l million visitors a year. lt is unlikely that the number
has decreased over the years — so there will always be about 3,000 other people in the Bay
at the same time as you!
The natural beauty of the Bay lay hidden today under a very common fog. As I had
already seen the similar karst landscape in China a couple of years before, I certainly said that
I was blown away by the beauty of Ha Long Bay. We went onto one of the Islands to visit the
Surprising Cave — an indeed surprisingly big and beautiful cave with three hollow chambers.
We saw some monkeys here too, just oufside the cave exit.
Part of the tour was half an hour of kayaking — enouph to paddle a full circle around
the main area. The views from the kayak I found much more impressive than from the larger
boat: you’re so tiny then and the peaks rise sharply in front of you. I had a better look at the
water too, and cannot say that I saw pollution by plastic or other junk floating around. There
is a thin layer of oil on the water in some parts though.
And then it’s time to get back in the bus to Ha Noi, another 3.5 hours. The tour was
carried out well with good seafood for lunch and I had a satisfying day.

Hoi An Ancient Town
Arriving in Hoi An around 9 p.m, I was really relieved when I discovered that the whole
town was peacefully quiet, something I am really concerned that Hoi An at night may become
crazy club scenes. In the next morning, I woke up very early, and walked around the town
admiring waterfront areas where local fishermen were ready to go out for day fishing, the
very lively market and exiremely charming and empfy streets. Since there was no tourist, only
locals then and the souvenir shops were still close, I felt that Hoi An at that moment was an
extremely gorgeous place to visit.
The yelowish Chinese sfyled houses along the sfreet together with decorative bushes of
bougainvilea flower are lovely sights and very photogenic. The layout of houses was claimed
to be unique for not strictly complied with Feng Shui but for benefit of better ventilation in
tropical region. Another thing that I am really immpressed is the preservation of the whole
town which is very amazing and very authentic, which is a thing
that cannot be found in Melaka, Singapore or Macao. The Japanese Bridge is maybe the only
sight that I found very interesting for its stories that the Japanese built this bridge in order to
calm evil serpent spirit “Namazu” that caused earthquake in very faraway Japan since they
believe Hoi An is located on the back of the serpent. I strangely found that there are still many
nice temples, especially the one dedicate to Confucius which has more unique and interesting
Vietnamese elements more than the preserved ones in the core zone.
I also noted that Hoi An is not only popular with European tourists but also Korean,
Japanese, Australian and New Zealander. After sunset, the whole town waterffont becomes a
night market with many local foods. And at that time Hoi An is very charming with hundreds
of paper and silk lanterns. Hoi An at might seems to be a very popular place for pre-wedding
photo shooting, as I saw many Vietnamese couples in their traditional dresses with their
photographer teams everywhere especially around the Japanese Bridge, so a great place to
see - local contemporary wedding cultures.
All in all, I really enjoyed my time in Hoi An for its lovely atmosphere and nice townscape.
Nofe: — bougainvillea flower = hoa Giấy

— fownscape = cảnh quan thành phố

Predictions about the Cities of the Future
Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform
our surroundings according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land
and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession,
has existed for less than a century. However, a considerable amount of evidence (both
archaeological and historical) proves the existencce of fully planned cities in ancient times.
Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive amount of
resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future
would be.
We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when
you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future
would try to save our resources rather than deplete them.
An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart
futuristic city in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water
mains. Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastrucfure requires repair or
replacement. In this way, the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes.
While the idea sounds fanfastic, a large amount of rational critique has called this plan
an oversold dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city
skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.

Today’s urban cities are practically bursting at the seams. According to research from
the United Nations, 54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a percentage
that is expected to increase to over 66 percent by 2050. In fact, India alone is projected to
add 404 million urban dwellers to is population by 2050.
This rapid growth of the urban population has caused daunting problems for city
planners, such as overcrowded roads, excessive energy consumption and unemployment.
Therefore, to buld more sustanable cities and accommodafe the growing number of residents,
many city leaders are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT).
The IoT has forever changed the way urban cities operate. Cities that were once
detached and inaccessible are now intelligent and highly connected. From Amsterdam to
Seoul, cities are launching smart city projects to help improve quality of life for residents and
better support the environment. According to research from IHS Techonology, there will be
at least 88 smart cities globally by 2025, up from 21 in 2013.
San Francisco, for example, provides more than 100 charging stations in various
locations to promote the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce harmful greenhouse gas
emissions. Copenhagen is also taking advantage of the IoT to improve environmental
protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes equipped with sensors that
generate data on air contamination and traffic congestion.
The possibilities afforded by the loT are endless; however, designing smart cities
requires comprehensive technology infrastructure that is capable of capturing and processing
large amounts of data quickly and securely — which is where 4G LTE comes into play.
The future looks bright for urban cities. Soon they will be able to do things that only sci-
fi enthusiasts could dream of before, like monitoring bridge conditions using intelligent sensors
and conserving energy by automatically dimaming street lights when no one is around.

Health Benefits of Yoga
Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga
style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, efc. If
you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace,
would be great for you. l you want to increase strength through using more of your own
body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you. Whether you prefer yo’re at home, in a
private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a huge variety of options
available to suit vour goals and needs.
Emproved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your
first class, you probably won't be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice
a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each
of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your
body, which is the core from which everything else operates. When the core is working
properly, posture is improved, thus alleviaing back, shoulder, and neck pain.
Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like
arthritis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength
through yoga, you balance it with fexibihty. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights,
you might build strength at the expense of flexibtlity.
Yoga gets your blood flowing. More spectfically, the relaxahon exercises you learn in
yoga can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen
to your cells, which function better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous
blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released.
Many studies found that a coasistent yoga practice improved depression and led to
greater levels of happiness and better immmune function.

question. Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the inserdion of very thin needles through the patients skin at
specific points on the body, and the needles are inserted to various depths. The medical
community is not in conclusive apreement about how acupuncture works scientifitcally.
However, we know that it does have some therapeutic benefits, including pain relief.
According to WHO, acupuncture is efective for treating 28 conditons, while evidence

indicates it may have an efective therapcutic value for many more. People with tension,
headaches or migraines may find acupuncture to be very effective in alleviating their
symptoms. Another study found that twice weekly acupuncture treatments relieve debilitating
symptorms of zerostormia — severe dry mouth — among patients treated with head and neck
cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance
of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as chi or qi. Qi is said
to flow through pathways in the human body. Through 350 acupuncture points in the body,
these pathways and energy flows may be accessed. lllness is said to be the consequence of
an imbalance of the forces. lf needles are inserted into these points with appropriate
combinations, it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance.
In Western societies and several other parts of the world, acupuncture is explained,
including concepts of neurosclence. Acupuncture points are seen by Western practitioners as
places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue can be stimulafed. Acupuncture
practitioners say that the stimulation increases blood flow while at the same time triggering
the activity of our own body's natural painkillers.
