PART 2
Read the text and then choose the correct answer for each question below.
A researcher has made a report that says “having a lot of money makes you a bad
person”. Professor Paul Piff spent ten years looking at the personalities of rich
people and found that their behavior was very different to the behavior of poor
people. Dr Paul Piff said rich people are more likely to break rules, not follow the
law, and not care about other people. He also said wealthy people cheat more at
games and are less likely to help other people. Professor Paul Piff told the BBC
that: "Wealth makes you more worried about your own interests, your own desires,
and your own welfare." He added that rich people think their own goals and needs
are the most important things in their life.
19
Professor Paul Piff also found that poorer people are much more generous than rich
people. The poor give a higher percentage of their money to help the others than the
rich. He said poorer people give one – and – a – half times as much as richer people.
He said: "The wealthier you are, the less generous you are. You give significantly

Suggested questions:
What's your favorite way of relaxing? Why do you like it? How do you often do?
Sample
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your letter – it was great to hear from you. Well, you know busy
working days sometimes make me very tired and stressed. And for me, the best way
to relax is to go into my room and read an interesting book.
I really like being there because it's so quiet and cosy and I can also listen to my
favorite music. I usually put a sign outside the door saying “Do not disturb”, so
nobody comes in. I don't even answer phone calls!
So that's what I do to feel relaxed. How about you? Write soon and let me know.
All the best, Emily
Your answer.

PART 2: Read the text and decide if each sentence is TRUE or FALSE.
My favorite activity used to be shopping. It started when I was a school girl and I
worked in a clothes shop. At that time I had a staff discount in the shop and I used
to spend all the money I had earned on clothes. I continued spending all my money
on clothes when I got a job in an office, and I couldn't stop that habit even after I
got married, bought a house and had children!
35
Every weekend I went shopping and I might use about $600 a month for clothes. I
went shopping whenever I liked even when I wasn't very happy, or when I was so
glad. Sometimes I spent whole week looking for what I wanted. Other times I'd just
buy the thing I saw for the first time.
Most of the things I bought I didn't really need. One day I bought three bags, even
though I already had other ten at home. I never even took the most expensive one
out of the box.
One day when my four-year-old boy looked into my wardrobe and asked me why I
had so many dresses, I suddenly realized I had a problem. I started to count and
found that I had sixty five dresses, and I must have spent thousands of dollars on
them. I couldn't believe what I've done.
Immediately, I threw away my credit card. Then I gave away all the clothes that I'd
never worn. After that I made plans to visit friends or travel somewhere at weekend,
so I wouldn't be able to go shopping. Now I'm happy because I'm not shopaholic
any more.
1. The author began to like shopping when she got a job in a clothes shop.
2. After she got married, she managed to stop spending too much money on
clothes.

5. Now she can't go shopping because she has spent all the money.

PART 3. Read the text and then choose the correct answer for each question
below.
Doctors may tell you that junk food is bad for your health, but McDonald's, Burger
King or Pizza Hut can prove that young people don't listen to that advice!
How did the hamburger become the most popular, most typical American food?
The hamburger has no connection with ham. It got its name from the German town
of Hamburg, which was famous for its ground steak. German immigrants to the
United States introduced the ‘hamburger steak'. Then, the introduction of the bun
was an important part of the answer. Another important part is McDonald's, one of
the world's most famous fast food restaurants. You can find them in Japan,
44
Germany, Panama, Guatemala, Australia, Portugal, Hong Kong, etc. In fact, there
are 13,000 in 120 countries. There's even a floating McDonald's in St. Louis,
Mississippi, and another in Alaska. The first McDonald's was opened in Des
Plaines, Illinois, and is now a museum.
What makes American fast food so popular?
Lee Cho, a South Korean, says: “I often go to McDonald's. It's clean, less expensive
than other restaurants and saves time.”
Natalia Petrovna, a girl from Moscow, says “I find the hamburgers very tasty and
the sundaes with caramel sauce are out of this world.”
Karen Smith, from Frankfurt: “McDonald's is our favorite meeting point. We can sit
there and talk for hours in a friendly atmosphere. There are lots of young people
around. The food is cheap and the milkshakes…yum…”
Older people are very critical of this sort of food. Lots of young people in the USA
are overweight, and parents blame these high-calorie foods that their children
gobble up in large quantities.
1. The hamburger has its origin in the United States.
2. The name ‘Hamburger' is from the word ‘ham'.
3. McDonald's can be found most of places in the world.
4. Young people love McDonald's although it's rather expensive.
5. Parents strongly disapprove of fast food.

Ex 3: Read the text and decide if each sentence is TRUE or FALSE.
Many people like to eat pizza, but not everyone knows how to make it. Making the
perfect pizza can be complicated, but there are lots of ways to make a basic version
at home.
When you make pizza, you must begin with the crust. The crust can be hard to
make. If you want to make the crust yourself, you will have to make dough using
flour, water, and yeast. You will have to knead the dough with your hands. If you
do not have enough time to do this, you can use a prepared crust that you buy from
the store.
After you have chosen your crust, you must then add the sauce. Making your own
sauce can take a long time. You have to buy tomatoes, peel them, and then cook
them with spices. If this sounds like too much work, you can also purchase jarred
sauce from the store. Many jarred sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make
at home.
Now that you have your crust and your sauce, you need to add the cheese. Cheese
comes from cow's milk. Do you know how to turn that milk into cheese? If not, you
might buy cheese from the grocery store instead of making it yourself. When you
have the crust, sauce, and cheese ready, you can add other toppings. Some people
like to put meat on their pizza while other people like to add vegetables. The best
part of making a pizza at home is that you can customize it by adding your own
favorite ingredients.
1. The writer's main purpose in writing the passage is to give advice

on making a perfect pizza.
2. Flour, water, and yeast are necessary things to make a crust.
3. You only need to have crust and sauce prepared before adding
other toppings.
4. Crust, sauce and cheese can be made at home or bought from
stores.
52
5. When making a pizza yourself, you can change ingredients to suit
your taste.

PART 1. Lưu ý cần nhớ (xem unit 1)
- Do you often eat out?
✓Well, not very often. Sometimes on special occasions such as birthday or
wedding anniversary my family and I go to restaurants, but normally we have meals
at home.
✓Yes. I'm quite busy with my work and I don't like cooking, so eating out is
always my first choice. It's convenient and the food is quite delicious. However it
costs me a lot of money and sometimes I feel like having a family meal.
- Do you often cook meals?
✓Of course. I cook every day. Going to market, cooking meals, cleaning the house
are my daily chores. Sometimes I like to eat out and have time to relax, but most of
the time I feel happy when seeing my children eating my home-cooked food.
✓Not very often. I don't like cooking. I think it's very complicated and time-
consuming when cooking at home. I just go to self-service café and have meals
there.
- What kind of food do you love most? And how often do you eat them?
✓I like meat, all kinds of meat. I can eat meat every day. It's so delicious.
✓I like fish, especially fried fish. I often have fish at least three times a week. I
think fish is good for your health and it's also very tasty.
54
- Do you prefer eating at home or eating out?
✓Oh, I think eating out is great sometimes. But a meal at home is often my first
choice because it's the time for the family to be together and it's also safe for our
health. We don't have to worry about food quality.
✓Actually, I prefer eating at a restaurant. Because I don't have to cook anything
and there are a lot of different foods, so I can choose whatever I want. Moreover, I
don't have to wash the dishes.

PART 2: Read the text and then choose the correct answer for each question
below.
Indonesia is a group of islands, located between Asia and Australia. It is close to the
equator, so it never gets cold. Every day, the temperature is between 21°C and
32°C. Indonesia is covered with tropical rainforests. For many years, Indonesians
have used wood to build their homes. Most of the old houses have wooden frames,
walls and floors. Local people have cleared land for farming, and loggers have cut
down miles of trees to sell the wood to other countries. Now there is a serious
shortage of trees.
Nowadays, in Indonesia's rural areas, many of the houses are built on stilts. They
raise the houses up, keep the living area off the wet soil, and also keep the houses
from flooding during the rainy season. Some people still live in houses with only
one room, and some of these houses do not have electricity or running water, but
they cannot afford to improve their housing.
In Indonesian cities, more and more people live in crowded apartment buildings.
However, it is hard for people to find good housing. The electricity often goes out
throughout these whole buildings. Moreover, landlords do not want to rent their
property to poor people, and banks do not want to lend them money to buy homes.
Because of its location, natural disasters such as floods, droughts, earthquakes and
forest fires frequently occur, which destroys buildings and leaves people homeless.
These disasters affect people both in the city and in the country.
1. According to the passage, what causes the shortage of trees in Indonesia?
A. Clearing land for farming B. Building wooden houses
C. Smuggling wood D. A, B, C are correct.
2. What does the word “They” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A kind of material B. A part of house C. A type of house D. A name of place
65
3. What natural disaster is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Floods B. Droughts C. Storms D. Earthquakes
4. What makes poor people difficult to find houses in cities of Indonesia?
A. Lack of housing B. Lack of financial support from banks
C. Lack of electricity or running water D. Lack of trees
5. What can be the title for the passage?
A. Indonesian houses B. Indonesian culture
C. Indonesian housing problems D. Indonesian lifestyle
PART 4. Fill in the blanks with suitable words in the box below. There are
some extra words.

PART 2. Talk about your favorite room in your house.
Suggested questions
- Which is your favorite room in your house? Why?
- What does it look like? - What changes do you want to make in it?
Sample: About my favorite room?
Er, let's me see… there are 5 rooms in my house, but actually the one I like most is
my bedroom. Though it isn't my own bedroom because I have to share it with my
sister, whenever I get home, the bedroom is the place where I feel the most
comfortable. And as I lie in my bed, I just want to have a safe and sound sleep. It's
really a relaxing moment. My bedroom is big enough for a king-sized bed with two
bedside tables. There are two desks and chairs for me and my sister to study. We've
spent a lot of time decorating our room in a very unique way with our favourite
paintings and posters. I find my bedroom very cosy. But actually there are some
certain changes I'd like to make in it.
Firstly, it's the colour of the room. I would like to change the grey walls to the blue
ones. They'll look much more interesting and lovely. And the other change I'd like
to make in my room is to have a bookshelf next to the window to put all my
souvenirs as well as my books. I'm planning to make my room become a wonderful
place.

Does it have any special features?
Sample.
Hello Sam,
I'm living in a house in a suburb of Hanoi, a new two-storey brick and concrete
one. There are three bedrooms with two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room
and a kitchen.
The living room is the most beautiful one with a big sofa, colorful cushions and a
modern TV. The kitchen has 2 gas cookers, a specially designed cupboard and a
big fridge. The dining room is just a small room next to the kitchen. It has a round
wooden table with six leather chairs. All the bedrooms are in the same design with
light pink walls, double beds and wardrobes. I think the outstanding feature of my
house is the beautiful garden with a lot of flowers and many fruit trees.
I hope that someday you can visit my house.

PART 1. Questions.
- Where are you from?
Are there any interesting places or buildings in your hometown?
- Why or why not? - Where do you often go in your free time?
PART 2. Describe your hometown.
- Where are you from? - What is your hometown famous for?
- How are the people and life in your hometown?
- What do you think about your hometown?
Sample answer.
I was born and grew up in Hanoi. It's a beautiful and peaceful city. You know,
Hanoi is the educational Centre of Vietnam with many universities and
institutes. Also there are many famous places such as Sword Lake, West Lake, and
Imperial citadel of Thang Long. Thus I often have a lot of places to go whenever I
have free time. Hanoi is not only famous for education, beautiful sites and places,
but also for its food. Some special dishes such as: Bun cha, Pho, Banh Tom …
They are really delicious. Moreover, I think Hanoians are very kind and hospitable.
If you have any problems, they will be willing to give you a hand. Because Hanoi is
the capital, people from the whole country come here to study and work, so it's
quite crowded. Life here is always busy. And sometimes the pressure of city life can
make people tired. However, I still think it is the most beautiful city. Wherever I go,
I still want to return to Hanoi.

Portmeirion
Last week I visited the village of Portmeirion in north Wales. During my childhood,
I’d enjoyed -holidays in the area, which is one of the most beautiful parts of Britain.
However, I’d never been to ne village and I had always wanted to. I visited the
village in the autumn, which was a good choice as: was less crowded than in the
summer. I’d read about its history and knew that the buildings were "from many
different styles and periods but hadn’t realized how colorful they would be.
Portmeirion didn’t exist in the nineteenth century. The first building didn’t go up
until 1926 and the 2st in 1976. It was built by Sir Clough Williams. From the age of
5, he dreamed of building his own village. He wanted to show that it was possible to
build a village in a lovely area and not spoil it. In 1919 he sailed around the British
coast for several months looking for a suitable spot. He visited 22 possible sites
before he found the place of his dreams at last, just 8 km away from his family
home.
Sir Clough had to build cheaply and quickly and I discovered that some of the
buildings even have tainted windows which were cheaper than putting in real
windows! Some were built so that they look grander than they are. The windows in
the bell tower, for example, are smaller as you go up the tower, so it seems taller
from the ground than it really is. On my second day there I stood on the balcony of
my hotel at dawn. As I looked over the Austrian- style houses and Italian piazzas
with the wonderful view of the Welsh coastline in the background, I realized what
Clough Williams was trying to do.
1. What is the writer trying to do?
A. suggest what improvements could be made to Portmeirion.
B. give information about where to stay in Portmeirion.
C. compare Portmeirion to other similar villages.
D. describe a visit to Portmeirion.
2. What surprised the writer about the village?
A. the different colours used. B. the mixture of buildings.
C. the beauty of the area.
D. the number of visitors.
3. What was the aim of Clough Williams in 1919?
A. to build a village without damaging the natural surroundings.
B. to make an existing village more beautiful.
82
C. to build a village as close to his home as possible.
D. to visit as many villages as possible before building his own.
4. What did the writer find out about some of the buildings?
A. They cost more to build than expected. B. They aren't as big as they look.
C. There was a mistake in their design. D. Some of the windows need replacing.
5. Which of these postcards did the writer send from Portmeirion?
A. It’s my first visit to the area, and I hadn’t realize how lovely this coast is. We
should have a holiday together in Portmeirion.
B. Discovered Portmeirion by chance. I’ve really enjoyed finding out about its
history and looking at the unusual buildings.
C. I hadn’t been to Portmeirion before but I’m pleased I came. I now realize what a
special place it is.
D. Portmeirion village is getting bigger all the time. I don’t think they should add
any more new buildings.

raincoat and carry an umbrella. In the summer, John and Jane usually wear shorts,
tank tops and sandals to the beach. Jane loves swimming so she has got a collection
of lovely colorful swimsuits. Sometimes on weekends, they go climbing so they
wear hiking boots and thick woolen socks to protect their feet. Last Saturday, they
came home with a bag of clothes each. John bought two sweaters, and a pair of
brown leather shoes. Jane bought a black belt to wear with her new red dress, a pair
of blue jeans and a very fashionable jacket. My cousins spend money as if money

3. SPEAKING
PART 1. Questions:
- Do you like shopping for clothes?
✓ Yes. It's one of my favourite things to do whenever I have free time or I feel
stressed.
✓ Oh, actually no. I think it takes a lot of time and money as well.
- How often do you buy new clothes?
✓ I think at least once a month. I usually go shopping for clothes at the end of the
month when I get paid.
✓ Just sometimes. Maybe several times a year, because I think some clothes for
summer, autumn and winter are enough for me.
- What do you often wear during the week and at weekends?
✓ During the week, I have to go to school, so I usually wear uniforms, black
trousers and white shirts. And at weekends I often choose comfortable clothes, for
example shorts, jeans and T-shirts.
✓ I go to work on weekdays so I often wear smart clothes such as trousers, blouses,
formal skirts and dresses. And at weekends when I don't have to work, just stay at
home or go out with friends, I often wear casual clothes such as jeans, T-shirts,
shorts and miniskirts.
- Are there many clothes shops where you live?
94
✓ I live in a busy street, so there are lots of shops, especially clothes shops. They
offer many choices from styles, brands to prices. It's very convenient whenever I
want to shop for clothes.
✓ Actually, not many. I see just a few shops, but their clothes seem not attractive.
Whenever I want to buy some new clothes, I often have to go to some popular
clothes shopping areas such as Chua Boc, Cau Giay, Ba Trieu or Pho Hue.
- Is your fashion style different from 5 years ago?
✓ Oh, I see totally different. 5 years ago, at that time I was studying at university,
so I usually wore simple clothes such as uniforms, trousers, jeans, T-shirts. But
now, I usually wear skirts with fashionable blouses and dresses.
✓ Let me see… uhmm.. not really, because I don't follow fashion. I think I have
dressed in a similar way for the last 5 years. I have always worn black trousers and
bright shirts.

Part 3: Read the text and decide if each sentence is TRUE or FALSE.
For centuries, the city of Machu Picchu was lost in the jungle. Then, in the summer
of 1911, the American explorer, Hiram Bingham, discovered the ruins of the city. It
is one of the most incredible places in the world. The Inca Bridge, the Mountain
View and river valley below are all absolutely impressive. Machu Picchu has been
one of the New Seven Wonders of the World since 2007, and today it is one of the
most famous tourist destinations in the world welcoming hundreds of thousands of
people a year. Many people choose to follow the Inca Trail, a 43 km centuries-old
path which takes three or four days on foot. Others take the train and then a bus for
the last part of the journey.
Now a hotel company is going to build a cable car to the top of Machu Picchu. “The
car is good news for Machu Picchu,” says a company spokesman. “There are going
to be more tourists and that means more jobs for local people. Looking after the
ruins is expensive. With extra money, we can spend more on looking after them.”
However, the plan is not popular in Peru. Ana Redondo, a tour guide, explains the
problem. “There are already more than 300,000 tourists that go to Machu Picchu
every year. The Inca Trail is crowded and dirty with old tea bags and water bottle
everywhere. The new cable car is going to bring 400 tourists every hour! The
company is also going to build a large hotel and tourist centre with souvenir shops,
fast food restaurants and so on. It is the end of Machu Picchu.”
1. Machu Picchu was built in the summer of 1911.
2. The only way to reach Machu Picchu is by train.
3. A hotel company is going to build a cable car, large hotel as

well as a tourist centre in Machu Picchu.
116
4. Ana Redondo agrees that cable car is good for Machu Picchu.
5. Tourists throw away their rubbish on the Inca Trail.
PART 4: If a line is correct, put a tick (T) next to the number. If there is an extra
word in a line, write it next to the number.
Being an only child.
1…………….. I'm an only child. People often say to me: 'Wouldn't you be a lot
2…….. happier if you have had brothers and sisters?' but I don't see it like that.
3………. It's true that if I had had a brother or sister, I would have someone closer
4…….. to my own age to talk to and play with at home, but I don't think that's
5……… very important provided for you have close friends, which I do. If my
6……….parents would had more children, they wouldn't be able to spend so
7……… time with me. And we have great fun together! Also, except if I had a
8……... brother or sister, I'd have it to share a bedroom with them. That might be
9……… fun, but what would happen if I wanted to play my CDs and he or she had
10……… to study? N o - I don't want a brother or sister, unless it will happens, of
course. In that case, I'll think it's the best thing in the world.
3. SPEAKING.
PART 1: Questions.
- How did you come here today?
✓Today, ah, I walked here. You know I'm from Thai Binh - it's 70 km far from
here. So yesterday, I stayed in my relative's house near here. It took me only 10
minutes to walk.
✓Uhm, by motorbike. Though the traffic today was terrible, I tried to get here on
time. I left home at about 6:30 and it took me 30 minutes to ride here.
- How do you often go to work?
✓Sometimes I go to work by motorbike but sometimes by bus. It depends on the
weather. It takes me longer to travel by bus than by motorbike. However I don't
want to get wet and dirty on rainy days.
✓Like most Vietnamese people, I go to work by motorbike. It's the most popular
vehicle in Vietnam. And I think it is suitable for the transport facilities in the city
centre like Hanoi.
- What is the most common means of transport in your country?
117
✓Well, you know in Vietnam, motorbikes are the most popular means of transport.
You can see motorbikes everywhere in Vietnam because it doesn't cost too much to
buy one and it's convenient.
- Do traffic jams often occur in your city where you live?
✓Not very often. You know I live in Hung Yen city, a small city, so it's not so
crowded. We hardly face with traffic jams, just sometimes when there are accidents
or special events.
✓Oh, yes. It happens every day in Hanoi. It's among the biggest problems in our
city. We often get stuck in the traffic during rush hours. Because you know, streets
are usually crowded with people and vehicles. And many roads are so narrow or
being repaired. Moreover, many people don't obey the traffic laws.
- Do you like travelling?
✓Yes, I do. I love travelling to beautiful places in Vietnam, meeting new people
and learning about different cultures of minority ethnics.
✓Not much. I'm kind of busy with my work and I think that I'm a quiet person.
When I have free time, I just want to stay at home and relax.
- Where do you intend to go this summer?
✓This summer? I'd like to go away somewhere in Vietnam, maybe travel to Da
Nang city by plane. I'd like to go to the beach and enjoy the fresh air there. I have
been on tour to Da Nang twice, so this time I intend to rent a motorbike and
discover the city in my own way.
✓This summer I want to do something special, maybe travelling abroad. I know
that Vietnamese people can visit South East Asian countries without a visa, so I'll
probably travel to Thailand. Travelling to Thailand by air doesn't take a lot of time,
just about 1 hour and 50 minutes. I'll visit coral island resort Phuket. I think it'll be
great.

Ex 3: Read the text and then choose the correct answer for each question below.
Pollution is any contamination of the environment which causes harm to the
environment or the inhabitants of the environment. There are three main kinds of
pollution.
Air pollution can be caused by liquids, or gases that make the air harmful to
breathe. There are two main types of air pollution: primary and secondary. Primary
pollutants enter the air directly, like smoke from factories and car exhaust.
Secondary pollutants are chemicals that mix together to pollute the air, like
mixtures of emissions from vehicles and factory smoke that change to form more
dangerous pollutants in the air and sunlight.
Soil pollution can be caused by pesticides, leakage from chemical tanks, oil spills,
and other chemicals which get into the soil by dumping or accidental
124
contamination. Soil pollution can also cause water pollution when underground
water becomes contaminated by coming into contact with the polluted soil. Water
pollution can be caused by waste products, sewage, oil spills, and litter in streams,
rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some scientists believe that water pollution is the largest
cause of death and disease in the world, causing about 14,000 deaths in the world
each day.
It is not possible for anyone to predict the exact timing and effects of global
pollution and global climate change brought about by pollution. There is general
agreement by scientists that the global climate will continue to change, the intensity
of weather effects will continue to increase, and some species of animals will
become extinct.

A. Solutions to pollution B. Environmental issues

C. Soil pollution D. Both B and C. are correct
5. According to the agreement of scientists, what is NOT environmental effect
caused by pollution?

Porchester. At first, I was very pleased to have another teenager in our house,
because most of my friends don’t live near me, but recently my feelings have
changed.
I have lots of homework because I’m studying for school exams, but I have to clean
my room and help with the washing-up. Bettina doesn’t have exams this year so she
doesn’t have to work so hard. She has more money than me. She earns a bit because
my dad helped her get a part-time job, and because it’s at the local leisure centre
she doesn’t pay the full price for tickets to see films there or go bowling with her
friends. And although she doesn’t pay rent to my parents they don’t make her help
in the house like I have to.
When I mentioned this to my parents they reminded me that we have to be kind to
Bettina because her dad hasn't been well for a long time. I agree with that but there
is a problem: I know Bettina tells lies to my parents. Last week, she told my dad
that she was going to the library but she went to meet her boyfriend. Two days ago
she asked my mum to lend her some money. She said she needed to buy some
books, but I think she spent it all on CDs.
I asked my parents if they knew what she had done, but they didn’t believe me.
They said I was jealous of her and refused to listen to me.
126

3. SPEAKING
PART 1. QUESTIONS
- Are you interested in environmental issues?
✓ Yes, I really care about these. I live in a big city where all people face up to a
number of environmental challenges, especially pollution. And when I learn about
the effects of pollution on human health as well as human impacts on the
environment, I want to know more and more.
- What environmental issue are you most concerned about?
✓ You know, nowadays we're facing a lot of environmental issues, but the one that
concerns me most is pollution. I see people around me live in places with high level
of air pollution and some of them end their lives in hospital with lung cancer. Water
127
pollution also makes my family and my neighbours worried because we live near
To Lich River. We're not sure when it rains, toxic chemicals from river might
pollute our fresh drinking water.
- What environmental issue are people in your city concerned about?
✓ Well, pollution seems to be a hot topic with all residents in my city. If you go
around the city centre, you will find that the air is badly polluted; there's a layer of
smog hanging over the buildings.
✓ Uhm, it's hard to say for sure, I think people in my hometown are most concerned
about the shortage of fresh drinking water. The Red river and all other lakes are
polluted. It's hard to access safe water to drink and bathe.
- Do you believe that climate change is a serious problem?
✓ Yes, as far as I know climate change makes some types of extreme weather
events more likely such as typhoons, earthquakes…which destroy houses, buildings
and also people, as a result, have to face critical food and water shortages. It takes a
long time for people to recover after these natural disasters. I think it's important for
people to be aware of the impacts of climate change especially young generations.
✓ Actually, I don't know much about that but I think it also has some effects on
human life.
- Have you ever joined a campaign to protect the environment?
✓ Oh, yes. When I was a student at university, I took part in many environmental
campaigns such as collecting litter, riding my bicycle around the city, turning off
lights at Earth hour, etc. And now I still do whenever I can.
✓ Uhm, actually not yet. I'm quite busy with my work and a bit shy to join a
campaign which has many people.
- What can individuals do to help protect the environment?
✓ Um, I think we can contribute to conserve our planet by switching off
unnecessary lights, riding a bicycle, using public transport, using less petrol and
electricity, or saving on water, recycling our rubbish … In this way, we all can help
to protect our environment.

PART 1. Questions
What is your job?
✓ I'm an artist. I draw and paint pictures for magazines, books and CD covers- all
kind of things. I work for a marketing company in Thanh Xuan District.
✓ I'm a civil engineer. I plan and control construction project. I also supervise the
quality as well as the progress of the project. I work for a state company named
Online.
- Do you enjoy your job?
✓ Yes, I really enjoy my job because every day is different and I like using my
imagination. I find interest in the demand that I receive every day and each one
gives me new ideas for my product.
✓Actually, I don't like my job so much. Because you know, it is rather hard work. I
have to work outdoor even in bad weather. And I feel stressed with the deadlines of
each project. All workers and engineers have to work overnight.
- Do you prefer working alone or in groups?
✓ Uhm, as for me, I would like to work alone. I can't concentrate on my work
when there is someone beside me. My imagination sometimes is strange and
different with the others so I don't want to discuss. Working alone is more effective
with an artist like me.
✓ I would rather work with others. You know, working for construction projects
requires many things. Therefore working in solidarity with groups is compulsory to
be successful. I supervise some groups of workers and builders. Every morning, I
have a meeting with the leaders of those groups to check the progress.
138
- Do you have a part-time job?
✓ Oh, yes, I also work as a part-time artist for an advertisement company. I design
and paint the banners or posters for them. This job increases my income to support
my family.
