❸ GRAMMAR
1. Conditional sentences type 1
Câu điều kiện loại I
Câu điều kiện loại 1 được dùng để diễn tả điều kiện có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc
tương lai.
Cấu trúc:
If + S + Vs/es, S + will + V
Nói cách khác, ở câu điều kiện loại 1, mệnh đề IF dùng thì hiện tại đơn, mệnh đề
chính dùng thì tương lai đơn.
Ví dụ:
If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
Nếu bạn học chăm chỉ, bạn sẽ vượt qua kì thi.
If it is cool, I will go fishing.
Nếu trời mát, tôi sẽ đi câu cá.
2. Conditional sentences type 2

Câu điều kiện loại II được dùng để diễn tả điều không thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc
tương lai.
Cấu trúc:
If + S + Ved, S + would + V
Chú ý:
Trong câu điều kiện loại 2, ở mệnh đề “IF”, động từ “to be” chuyển thành
“were” cho tất cả các ngôi.
Ví dụ:
If I were a bird, I would be very happy.
Nếu tôi là một con chim, tôl sẽ rất hạnh phúc.
If I had a million USD, I would buy that house.
Nếu tôi có một triệu đô la, tôi sẽ mua căn nhà đó.

CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
Paragraph 1: ...............................................................................................................
Paragraph 2: ...............................................................................................................
Paragraph 3: ...............................................................................................................
Paragraph 4: ...............................................................................................................
Paragraph 5: ...............................................................................................................
Exercise 2: Listen and complete the text. (Track 15)
Solution to air pollution
Most people agree that to curb global warming, a variety of (1) .................. need to be
taken. On a personal level, driving and flying less, recycling, and conservation reduces a
person’s “carbon footprint” - the amount of carbon dioxide a person is (2) ..................
for putting into the atmosphere.
On a larger scale, governments are taking measures to limit (3) ....................... of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The Paris Agreement, a voluntary agreement
among 118 nations ratified on November 4, 2016, is one effort being enacted on a global
scale to combat (4) .................. change. As a part of the agreement, each country agreed
to take measures to combat climate change, with the ultimate goal of keeping the post-
industrial global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius. Another method is to put
taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline, so that individuals and (5)
.................. will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less.
Exercise 3: Read and put the headings into the correct paragraphs. (There is
one extra)
1. Effect on health of humans 4. Toxic dust
2. Effect on growth of plants 5. Changes in temperature
3. Decreased soil fertility 6. Changes in soil structure
Effects of Soil Pollution
1. ......................................................... : Considering how soil is the reason we are able
to sustain ourselves, the contamination of it has major consequences on our health.
Crops and plants grown on polluted soil absorb much of the pollution and then pass
these on to us. This could explain the sudden surge in small and terminal illnesses.
2. ......................................................... : The ecological balance of any system gets
affected due to the widespread contamination of the soil. Most plants are unable to
adapt when the chemistry of the soil changes so radically in a short period of time. Fungi
and bacteria found in the soil that bind it together begin to decline, which creates an
additional problem of soil erosion.
3. ......................................................... : The toxic chemicals present in the soil can
decrease soil fertility and therefore decrease in the soil yield. The contaminated soil is
then used to produce fruits and vegetables which lacks quality nutrients and may
contain some poisonous substance to cause serious health problems in people
consuming them.
4. ......................................................... : The emission of toxic and foul gases from
landfills pollutes the environment and causes serious effects on health of some people.
The unpleasant smell causes inconvenience to other people.
5. ......................................................... : The death of many soil organisms (e.g.
earthworms) in the soil can lead to alteration in soil structure. Apart from that, it could
also force other predators to move to other places in search of food.
Exercise 4: Read and answer the questions.
Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and
revision of water resource policy at all levels. It has been suggested that water pollution
is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the
deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. An estimated 580 people in India die of water
pollution related illness every day. About 90 percent of the water in the cities of China is
polluted. As of 2007, half a billion Chinese had no access to safe drinking water. In
addition to the acute problems of water pollution in developing countries, developed
countries also continue to struggle with pollution problems. For example, in the most
recent national report on water quality in the United States, 44 percent of assessed
stream miles, 64 percent of assessed lake acres, and 30 percent of assessed bays and
estuarine square miles were classified as polluted. The head of China’s national
development agency said in 2007 that one quarter the length of China’s seven main
rivers were so poisoned the water harmed the skin.
Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic
contaminants and either does not support a human use, such as drinking water, or
undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its constituent biotic communities,
such as fish. Natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae blooms, storms, and
earthquakes also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of
water.

Fires

Earthquakes can cause many other natural disasters once they strike, here are their
names and a brief description of each:
1. .................................................. – Are giant sea waves that are produced by the
sudden violent movement of the earths plates of volcanoes under the water The
time periods of these waves can last up to an hour, causing massive devastation as
seen in Sri Lanka in 2004.
2. .................................................. – Fires can be caused when earthquakes damage
electrical power stations or gas lines. These fires can be impossible to stop
sometimes. In 1906 in San Francisco, fire caused by an earthquake killed more
people than the earthquake itself.
3. .................................................. – Earthquakes can produce unstable slopes which
can lead to the moving of the ground, which is called a landslide. Landslides can
cause severe damage after an earthquake occurs, for example it can crash down
homes, cars of even people.
4. .................................................. – A flood is an overflow of water that reaches land.
This occurs when a lake, dam or river overflows due to the movement of land due to
an earthquake or landslide. Floods can have devastating effects on terrain, animal
life and human life.
5. .................................................. – Of course, earthquake can cause severe injury and
loss of life for both humans and animals. Properties can also suffer, and the collapse
of buildings are expected when highly measured earthquakes occur. The aftermath
of an earthquake can cause disease and lack of basic necessities for people.
Exercise 4: Read the text and decide T (true)/ F (false) for each statement.
Natural disasters
The definition of natural disasters is any catastrophic event that is caused by nature or
the natural processes of the earth. The severity of a disaster is measured in lives lost,
economic loss, and the ability of the population to rebuild. Events that occur in
unpopulated areas are not considered disasters. So a flood on an uninhabited island
would not count as a disaster, but a flood in a populated area is called a natural disaster.
All natural disasters cause loss in some way. Depending on the severity, lives can be lost
in any number of disasters. Falling buildings or trees, freezing to death, being washed
away, or heat stroke are just some of the deadly effects. Some disasters cause more loss
of life than others, and population density affects the death count as well.
Scientists, geologists, and storm watchers work hard to predict major disasters and avert
as much damage as possible. With all the technology available, it’s become easier to
predict major storms, blizzards, cyclones, and other weather related natural disasters.
But there are still natural disasters that come up rather unexpectedly, such as
earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, or even volcanic eruptions. Sometimes, a time of
warning is there, but it’s often very short with catastrophic results. Areas that are not
used to disasters affected by flash floods or sudden hail storms can be affected in an
extreme way.

natural processes of the earth.

PROS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING
1. ..............................................................................................................................
One of the most obvious pros of using social networks is the ability to Instantly reach
people from anywhere. Use Facebook to stay in touch with your old high school friends
who’ve relocated all over the country get on Google+ with relatives who live halfway
around the world, or meet brand new people on Twitter from cities or regions you’ve
never even heard of before.
2. ..............................................................................................................................
Now that we’re connected wherever we go, we don’t have to rely on our landlines,
answering machines or snail mail to contact somebody. We can simply open up our
laptops or pick up our smartphones and immediately start communicating with anyone
on platforms like Twitter or one of the many social messaging apps available.
3. ..............................................................................................................................
Gone are the days of waiting around for the six o’clock news to come on TV or for the
delivery boy to bring the newspaper in the morning. If you want to know what’s going
on in the world, all you need to do is jump on social media. An added bonus is that you
can customize your news and information discovery experiences by choosing to follow
exactly what you want.
4. ..............................................................................................................................
Business owners and other types of professional organizations can connect with current
customers, sell their products and expand their reach using social media. There are
actually lots of entrepreneurs and businesses out there that thrive almost entirely on
social networks and wouldn’t even be able to operate without it.

5. ..............................................................................................................................
You have to admit that social networking is just plain fun sometimes. A lot of people
turn to it when they catch a break at work or just want to relax at home. Since people
are naturally social creatures, it’s often quite satisfying to see comments and likes show
up on our own posts, and it’s convenient to be able to see exactly what our friends are
up to without having to ask them directly.
Exercise 4: Read the passage and fill in the blank with the words in the box.
problems social responsibilities distracted followers
pressure privacy attention overwhelmed geographical
CONS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING
Information overwhelm. With so many people now on social media tweeting links and
posting selfies and sharing YouTube videos, it sure can get pretty noisy. Becoming (1)
....................... by too many Facebook friends to keep up with or too many Instagram
photos to browse through isn’t all that uncommon. Over time, we tend to rack up a lot
of friends and (2) ....................... , and that can lead to lots of bloated news feeds with
too much content we’re not all that interested in.
Privacy issues. With so much sharing going on, issues over (3) ....................... will always
be a big concern. Whether it’s a question of social sites owning your content after it’s
posted, becoming a target after sharing your (4) ....................... location online, or even
getting in trouble at work after tweeting something inappropriate – sharing too much
with the public can open up all sorts of (5) ....................... that sometimes can’t ever be
undone.
Social peer pressure and cyber bullying. For people struggling to fit in with their peers -
especially teens and young adults – the (6) ....................... to do certain things or act a
certain way can be even worse on (7) ....................... media than it is at school or any
other offline setting.
Distraction and procrastination. How often do you see someone look at their phone?
People get (8) ....................... by all the social apps and news and messages they receive,
leading to all sorts of problems like distracted driving or the lack of gaining someone’s
full (9) ....................... during a conversation. Browsing social media can also feed
procrastination habits and become something people turn to in order to avoid certain
tasks or (10) .......................

1. How many children are there in the photos?

WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE BE LIKE WITHOUT A PHONE?
It is true that everything works at a fast pace these days, due to the quick access we
have to pretty much anything and anyone. For example, you can contact someone who
lives on the other side of the world within seconds. This is great if you think about how
connected we can stay to the people who are far away from us; however, on the
contrary, can we be too connected to the people who are close to us? An argument
arose about the fact that it is easier to message someone from your sofa than to meet
them in person and talk. On one hand, it is easier and nice sometimes to casually chat to
a friend this way. However, it is also lazier and rude to prefer to talk to someone on your
phone rather than meeting up, if you are able to, in my opinion. Social skills are
important to have and if you are not going to put effort into real-life communication,
then you are not going to progress in this ability.
Another point was that phones are very handy to look up something that you are
wondering about. For example, if you don’t know a word in another language, you can
quickly and simply access a translator to help you out. This can be very helpful in many
situations, but it can also make a person dependent on the internet to help with
anything. This factor slightly takes away the diversity of learning a language and
conversing with people, as you are able to access everything you need via the web.
All in all, this question is very interesting to consider for oneself as we become day by
day more dependent on technology. We should just be aware of how much we really
need to be connected via our phones while considering the benefits and damage it can
cause us.
No. Statements T/F
1. Everything works at a slow pace nowadays.
2. We contact someone who lives very fat from us within seconds.
3. Phones may make us lazier and ruder in some way.

4. Phones are very inconvenient to look up something that you are
wondering about.

The formation and structure of the Sun
The sun and the rest of the solar (1) ................... formed from a giant, rotating cloud of
gas and dust called a solar nebula about 4.5 billion years ago. As the nebula collapsed
because of its overwhelming gravity, it spun faster and flattened into a disk. Most of the

it will swell so big that it will engulf Mercury and Venus and maybe even Earth. Scientists
predict the sun is a little less than halfway through its lifetime and will last another 6.5
billion years before it shrinks down to be a white dwarf.
The sun, like others stars, is a ball of gas. In terms of the number of atoms, it is made of
91.0% hydrogen and 8.9% helium. By mass, the sun is about 70.6% hydrogen and 27.4%
helium.

amounts of energy. Specifically, in the sun’s core, hydrogen atoms fuse to make helium.
Exercise 4: Read the text and answer the questions.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is commonly referred to as the Red Planet.
The rocks, soli and sky have a red or pink hue. The distinct red color was observed by
stargazers throughout history. It was given its name by the Romans in honor of their god
of war. Other civilizations have had similar names. The ancient Egyptians named the
planet Her Descher meaning the red one.
Before space exploration. Mars was considered the best candidate for harboring
extraterrestrial life. Astronomers thought they saw straight lines crisscrossing its surface.
This led to the popular belief that irrigation canals on the planet had been constructed
by intelligent beings. In 1938, when Orson Welles broadcasted a radio drama based on
the science fiction classic War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, enough people believed in
the tale of invading Martians to cause a near panic
Another reason for scientists to expect life on Mars had to do with the apparent
seasonal color changes on the planet’s surface. This phenomenon led to speculation that
conditions might support a bloom of Martian vegetation during the warmer months and
cause plant life to become dormant during colder periods.

Exercise 7 : Look at the picture and read the text about life on other planets.
FACTS ABOUT LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS
• Scientists are looking for three things: a planet with gases
like oxygen and carbon dioxide that support life; a planet
with water and a planet that’s not too cold or too hot.
• The Kepler telescope’s most exciting discovery was the
planet Kepler 22b. This planet is a little larger than Earth, but
it is about the same distance away from its star as the Earth
is from the Sun. Scientists believe it might have water on it.

TRANSCRIPT
UNIT 7: POLLUTION
WEEK 2
CAUSES Of AIR POLLUTION
Paragraph 1: Burning of Fossil Fuels
Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other
factory combustibles is one the major causes of air pollution. Pollution emitting from
vehicles including trucks, jeeps, cars, trains and airplanes cause immense amount of
pollution.
Paragraph 2: Agricultural activities
Ammonia is a very common by product from agriculture related activities and is one of
the most hazardous gases in the atmosphere. The use of insecticides, pesticides and
fertilizers in agricultural activities has grown quite a lot. They emit harmful chemicals
into the air and can also cause water pollution.
Paragraph 3: Exhaust from factories and industries
Manufacturing industries release large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons,
organic compounds, and chemicals into the air thereby depleting the quality of air.
Paragraph 4: Mining operations
Mining is a process wherein minerals below the earth are extracted using large
equipment. During the process dust and chemicals are released in the air causing
massive air pollution.
Paragraph 5: Indoor air pollution
Household cleaning products, painting supplies emit toxic. Chemicals in the air and
cause air pollution.
Solution to air pollution
Most people agree that to curb global warming, a variety of measures need to be taken.
On a personal level, driving and flying less, recycling, and conservation reduces a
person’s “carbon footprint” - the amount of carbon dioxide a person is responsible for
putting into the atmosphere.
On a larger scale, governments are taking measures to limit emissions of carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases. The Paris Agreement, a voluntary agreement among 118
nations ratified on November 4, 2016, is one effort being enacted on a global scale to
combat climate change. As a part of the agreement, each country agreed to take

measures to combat climate change, with the ultimate goal of keeping the post
industrial global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius. Another method is to put
taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline, so that individuals and companies
will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less

WEEK 2
6 Tips to Self Study English Effectively
1. Listen to music and learn from lyrics
Everyone likes music. It’s very easy and interesting to learn English by listening to your
favourite songs.
2. Watch English videos about your interests
This is good training for your English comprehension and communication. Watching
interviews and reviews will help you become familiar with conversational English – how
you should communicate with other people.
3. Watch English movies and TV shows
Watching English movies and TV shows also helps improve how you speak and
understand the language.
4. Test your grammar with online English quizzes
When you self-study, one possible problem is that you might miss the mistakes and
errors you’re making.
One easy way to test yourself is to do free online English quizzes. These quizzes will test
your grammar, sentence construction, comprehension and a whole lot more.
5. Chat with friends online
Chatting with friends online is a fun way to self-study English without even realizing it.
It’s different from talking to a teacher, or studying in class, or even using English at work
because it’s relaxed, and the language is easy.
6. Read e-books, articles and online magazines
Reading is as important as listening when learning English. Reading and listening both
sharpen the mind and train you to think in English too
Approximately 330 to 360 million people speak English as their first language The United
States has the most native speakers at 258 million. Additionally, there are 62 million
native English speakers in the United Kingdom, 32 million in Canada, 20 million in
Australia, and 3.8 million in New Zealand. Other countries also use English as their
primary and official languages.
English is the third largest language by number of native speakers, after Mandarin and
Spanish.
TRANSCRIPT 105
Estimates that include second language speakers vary greatly, from 470 million to more
than 1 billion. David Crystal calculates that non-native speakers as of 2003 outnumbered
native speakers by a ratio of 3 to 1. When combining native and non-native speakers,
English is the second most widely spoken language worldwide.
India has the largest number of second-language speakers of English; Mr Crystal claims
that, combining native and non-native speakers, India has more people who speak or
understand English than any other country in the world.
UNIT 9: NATURAL DISASTERS

WEEK 2
HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN
Mr Huynh Van Lot from Can Tho, Viet Nam, a farmer who spent most his life in the same
small Mekong Delta district, has experienced good weather and bad, droughts and
floods. But this year brought something he’d never seen.
“The water is salty,” he said. “I’ve been living here since my childhood but this is the first
time we’ve had salty water. All my crops were destroyed.”
The region’s worst drought in 90 years, combined with rising sea levels and rampant
development are causing a crisis in the Mekong Delta, known as Vietnam’s rice bowl.
The delta is home to 20 million people and accounts for more than half of Vietnam’s rice
and fruit production, 90% of its rice exports and 60% of fishery exports.
A United Nations report released in March about the drought estimated that about
393,000 acres of rice in Vietnam was already lost, with an additional 1.2 million acres
likely to be damaged. Almost 1 million people lack water for daily consumption.
The figures are alarming but could grow worse if weather extremes become more
common in years to come.
Flood
A flood is land covered by water that is not usually covered by water. This means that
any time a river, lake, or other body of water overflows its banks, it’s technically
flooding. However, most people think of the more catastrophic types of floods, as those
are the type that cause widespread damage and loss of life. Unless a flood causes some
kind of financial damage or loss of life to humans or livestock, it’s not considered a
significant flood.
Because so much of the damage inflicted by floods has long-lasting consequences, floods
are among the most catastrophic of natural disasters. Flood often results in loss of life
and cause emotional trauma for those who have gone through it. Even if people have
not been directly affected by the loss of life, losing property, houses, or land can cause
physiological damage. Especially if the people affected are unable to rebuild due to the
houses being too badly damage, farm land being inundated with salt water, or lack of
resources to rebuild, many find the recovery to be more than just physical.

UNIT 10: COMMUNICATION
WEEK 2
Exercise 1: Listen and complete the sentence. (Track 20)
ADVANTAGES OF FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION
With technology continuing to evolve, the different ways to communicate are endless;
the telephone, email, mobile phone, Skype and social media are integral to work life
today. Yet despite this, I believe that face to face is the best way to communicate.
Advantages 1: body language
An authority on body language, James Borg says that human communication consists of
93% body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% consists of words. Body
language speaks a lot louder than words; you can gain a better understanding of how a
candidate or client is feeling than you would otherwise be able to through other forms
of communication.
Advantages 2: value
For many companies, travel and meeting budgets were the first to get cut back when the
recession hit, but travelling to meet a client or candidate shows them that they’re worth
your time and money, and vice versa. The more face to face communication you can
have the better. You’ll have their attention 100%, and your message is guaranteed to be
heard.
Advantages 3: building relationships
In a survey by Forbes that spoke to 760 business executives. 84% preferred face to face
communication. Out of those, 85% said their reason was that it builds stronger, more
meaningful business relationships. Respondents of the survey also said face to face
meetings are best for persuasion leadership (87%), and engagement (86%).
Exercise 2: Listen again and write T (true)/ F (false) for each statement.
UNIT 11: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

WEEK 1
DRIVERLESS CARS
Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven
driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have
been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there – they just need to
see if they’re value for money, work out insurance issues, and run final tests to check
they can run alongside human-driven cars on the road.
So how do they work? The cars have sensors all around which can detect other cars and
obstacles in the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows
how far it is from the kerb or other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and
satellite navigation systems are used so the car knows how to get to your destination. All
TRANSCRIPT 107
you have to do is type in the address. Finally, a central computer system takes in all the
information it receives from the sensors and cameras and processes this to work out
when to accelerate, brake and steer.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have
difficulties making ethical decisions; if a child ran into the road, would the computer
choose to hit the child or swerve and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I
personally find driving fun – I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There would
also be many legal decisions to be made – should children, or drunk people, be allowed
in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a
driving licence in the car at all times?
Exercise 2: Listen again and write T (true)/ F (false) for each statement.
UNIT 12: LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS

WEEK 2
Our solar system consists of an average star we call the Sun, the planets Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It includes: the satellites of the
planets; numerous comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; and the interplanetary medium. The
Sun is the richest source of electromagnetic energy (mostly in the form of heat and light) in
the solar system. The Sun’s nearest known stellar neighbor is a red dwarf star called
Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.3 light years away. The whole solar system, together
with the local stars visible on a clear night, orbits the center of our home galaxy, a spiral disk
of 200 billion stars we call the Milky Way. The Milky Way has two small galaxies orbiting it
nearby, which are visible from the southern hemisphere. They are called the Large
Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. The nearest large galaxy is the
Andromeda Galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way but is 4 times as massive and is 2
million light years away. Our galaxy, one of billions of galaxies known, is traveling through
intergalactic space.
