Diet and Weight Loss
This is SCIENCE IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English. I‘m Shirley Griffith. And
I‘m Bob Doughty.
Today, we will talk about diet and weight loss. Exercise is…(1) important if you want
to get in good shape. But experts say exercise alone is not enough if your goal is to lose
weight.
It is that time of year again. Warm …(2) weather has returned to earth‘s northern
hemisphere. Summer is a time when people of all ages feel like getting their swimwear and
going to the …(3) nearest swimming pool or seashore.
But first, there is that troublesome little thing called winter weight gain. Many of us gain
weight because of …(4) inactivity during the winter.
Some people go to extremes to lose that extra weight before going to the …(5) beach In the
weight loss industry, there is never a lack of ideas about how to lose weight. Consider the
"Sleeping Beauty diet," where you sleep your way to weight loss. You cannot eat if you are
sleeping, or so the theory goes.
Then there is the tapeworm diet. The tapeworm is said to help people lose weight by eating
the …(6) the food that is stored in their stomach. But first you have to be willing to swallow
the little creature. This may be more …(7) trouble. than many people want.
Strange, new diets, treatments and exercise programs arrive on the market every day. Each
one promises to help people lose weight and get a beach beautiful body. The weight loss …
(8) industry takes in billions of dollars each year, and it is growing.
One research company says the weight loss business will be worth more than five hundred
eighty billion dollars worldwide by the year …(9) twenty fourteen MarketsandMarkets also
says the food and drink market represents the largest part of that growth. It is expected to
reach more than three hundred fifty five billion dollars by twenty fourteen.
There is a seemingly endless supply of ideas about how to lose weight. There are low-
carbohydrate diets and low-fat diets, diets that limit …(10) calories and ones that let you eat
as much as you want. And, there are thousands of different kinds of diet pills and programs.
So where does one begin? Which one is best?
Experts say there is no …(11) single diet plan that works best for everyone. Many experts
agree on one thing: that to lose weight, you must use or burn off more calories than you take
in. When you eat more calories than your body needs, it stores that extra …(12) energy
as fat.
Rock Climbing
I'm Doug Johnson. And I'm Bob Doughty with EXPLORATIONS in VOA Special English.
Some people say the higher you climb, the harder you fall. But those people probably
would not be rock climbers. The sport, science and art of rock climbing is our …(1)
subject this week.
An estimated nine million people rock climb in the United States. Millions more take
part in the activity around the …(2) world Some do it just for personal satisfaction.
Others compete. Rock climbing can be …(3) dangerous But there are many methods
and protective devices that can increase a climber's safety.
Climbing takes strength, control and good …(4) balance Climbers have to pull
themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls. So they have to be strong
enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by
only their …(5) fingers or toes.
There are several kinds of rock climbing. …(6) Traditional rock climbing is done
outside. Climbers wear ropes and attach devices to the rocks as they climb many
hundreds of meters up. They also connect their ropes to the devices. If a climber slips, a
rope can stop him from falling.
Sport climbing is similar. However, in those cases the …(7) rotective devices are
permanently placed in the rock. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls made of
wood or concrete have places for the climber's hands and feet.
…(8) Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls
instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice.
And then there is bouldering – climbing rocks between three and …(9) seven meters
high. It is a quicker and more intense kind of climbing. Many climbers like bouldering
because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk.
All climbers use chalk to keep their …(10) hands dry.

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were chimpanzees. Now,
however, there is proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways,
therefore, like a human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for
man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But this will not be easy because dolphins can not hear
the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to
make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories
of dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.
Question 1: Which animals do people think may be the cleverest?
A. Chimpanzees B. Dolphins C. Big apes D. Mammals
Question 2: What other beings are dolphins like in many ways?
A. Fish B. Animals C. Reptiles D. Men
Question 3: What have scientists discovered about dolphins?
A. They understand simple language.
B. They can speak to one another.
C. Men can now talk to them.
D. They can teach men their languages.
Question 4: Why is a third language necessary if man wants to talk to dolphins?
A. Most men do not speak English.
B. The dolphins language is hard to learn.
C. Dolphins cannot hear men speaking.
D. Men want to talk to dolphins in secret.
Question 5: In what way are dolphins friendly to man?
A. They like interesting things about man.
B. They often follow ships.
C. They often jump on to ships.
D. They seem to like stories.

Good afternoon. Many people in the western world eat the wrong (food) (1)
and they eat far too much of it. So the topic of my lecture today is (healthy)(2)
eating. I‘ll divide my talk into three parts; firstly, I‘m going to define what I mean by healthy
eating. After that, I‘ll go on to talk about why (people) (3) don‘t eat properly and then I‘ll
finish my lecture with some ideas for improving the situation.
Right. So what do I mean by ―healthy eating?‖ Well, some people might think it means
eating a lot of (meat)(4). Uhm of course, vegetarians wouldn‘t agree with this. They think
eating meat is very unhealthy. Other people think that eating a lot of cabbage is (good) (5)
for you, or a lot of salad. Well, naturally, cabbage, salad and meat can all be part of healthy
eating. But, for me, a healthy eating means (two) (6) things: one is eating a balanced diet
and the other is eating the right amount of food. In my opinion, a balanced diet means eating a
variety of foods, including meat, vegetables fruit, cereals and dairy foods. Obviously, the
amount of food we should eat is more difficult to decide. It depends a lot on how (active) (7)
we are.
Now on to my next point. Why do so many people eat badly? Well, let‘s look first at
having a balanced diet. To have a balanced diet you have to (plan) (8) your
meals in advance and then buy the right food and then take time to cook it properly. But,
these days people are so busy working that they don't have time to go ( shopping)
(9), so they end up buying fast food at the last minute. Another reason people don‘t eat well
nowadays is that it‘s actually ( cheaper) (10) to buy food already
prepared in a packet. So, people who haven‘t got much money, will buy packet food rather
than cook something (fresh) (11). And a final reason why people don‘t eat healthily and that
is that they don't know how to. In my opinion, schools don‘t do nearly enough to educate their
pupils in healthy eating (habits) (12).

My name is John, and this is my story. Last year just before Christmas my family and our

we were about halfway there my uncle wanted to turn round and come back. He said it was
too far, and it was terribly hot too, one day it was 480C . Even at night it was really hot.
Anyway, what we decided to do was to drive back about 160 km to a place where the train
went through. Then we put both cars on the train and we all went to Peth by train. That was
fun. It was a good train.
We had a good time in Perth but we had to cut our holiday short. You see, while we were
there my grandmother (my mother‘s mother) in Melbourne died. Most of us flew back but my

from Port Pirie.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food.
They also help us to look nice.
How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the
toot. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly
spreads inside to tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep out teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He
can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to
check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least
twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden
toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish,
brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables, and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits
and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because
they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
1. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth

A. become hard B. begin to decay
C. send poisons into the blood D. make us feel quite ill
2. A lot of people visit a dentist only when
A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth

Just a few years ago, this place was called Dumptown. The people living here didn‘t
think much about where waste went when they threw it out. Things that could be reused or
recycled were thrown in the trash, because nobody believed recycling made a difference.
And, eventually, that became a very big problem.
The garbage heap grew and began to smell. Sometimes it caught fire, and making it
hard for everyone to breathe. Dumptowners knew they had to fix it.
They learned to reduce the amount of waste they threw away. For example, they learned
to reuse things—like washing out empty jars in stead of throwing them away. And, they
learned to recycle. They set up bins around town to collect glass, paper, and other things, then
made into new products.

(Touching the ball is against the rules.)
b/ Chúng ta dùng ―don‘t have to‖ để nói rằng mọi người không bị bắt buộc phải làm điều
gì đó:

People are not obliged to carry one.)
Nowadays, in Vietnam, pupils do not have to learn Russian at school. (=
They are not obliged to learn it.)
5. Câu hỏi
Trong các câu hỏi, chúng ta thường sử dụng ―do/does….. have to‖ (không phải―must‖) để hỏi liệu
điều gì đó có bắt buộc hay quan trọng không: Does Mike have to get up early tomorrow?
Do we have to wait here?
 Ought to/ Should
- Cũng giống như ―must‖ và ―have to‖, ―ought to‖ và ―should‖ về cơ bản là có nghĩa giống nhau,
chúng đều có nghĩa là ―nên‖. Thực ra thì ―should‖ lại được dùng khá rộng rãi hơn ―ought
to‖.
- Cả ―should‖ và ―ought to‖ đều nói về những nghĩa vụ, bổn phận và các lời khuyên. Mặc
dù vậy thì khi so sánh với ―must/ have to‖ ta thấy có một sự tương phản về ngữ nghĩa,
―should/ ought to‖ mang tính nghĩa vụ ít đáng kể hơn nhiều.
―I must go to a doctor‖ > ―I have to go to a doctor‖ > ―I should go to a doctor‖
 Lời khuyên
- Khi luyện tập sử dụng ―must/have to‖ cũng ―should/ought to‖ bạn nên đặt chúng trong một
ngữ cảnh cụ thể. Đôi khi, chỉ là một ngữ cảnh đơn giản nhưng lại sinh ra nhiều cách sử
dụng khác nhau của động từ khiếm khuyết (tương tự như ví dụ về việc bạn không thể tham
dự tiệc sinh nhật của người yêu vì phải đi mua sắm với mẹ)
- Bạn có thể nghĩ về việc học tiếng Anh của mình, những điều gì là bạn phải bắt buộc thực
hiện, ví dụ hoàn thành đầy đủ bài tập về nhà, hãy dùng ―must‖ với những câu loại này.
Ex: I must do all my homework.
- Ngoài ra những yêu cầu khác mà bạn tự đặt ra cho bản thân như mỗi ngày đọc thêm một
một câu chuyện bằng tiếng Anh, hãy dùng ―have to‖.
Ex: Everyday, I have to read a short story in English.
- Và về các lời khuyên mà thầy cô, bạn bè, anh chị, cha mẹ dành cho bạn, hãy chuyển tất cả
chúng về tiếng Anh và nhớ sử dụng động từ ―should‖ hay ―ought to‖ nhé.
Ex: I should learn another language before I graduate high school (Tôi
nên học một ngôn ngữ khác trước khi tôi tốt nghiệp trung học)
 Must vs. Have to; Mustn't vs. Don't have to

Must + Inf: Diễn tả lời khuyên ở cấp cao nhất (...) Have to + Inf: Chỉ sự bắt buộc phải làm,
nếu không sẽ phải trả giá (...) Mustn't + Inf: Cấm đoán ai làm gì Don't have to + Inf: Chỉ việc
mà ai đó không nhất thiết phải làm
MUST + Inf
- Must + Inf để chỉ việc mà người nói đã chắc chắn là đúng. Họ đưa ra suy luận logic dựa
trên những dẫn chứng hoặc l do rõ ràng.
Ví dụ:
You must be worried that she is so late coming home.
Chắc anh lo lắm vì cô ấy về nhà trễ thế.
It must be nice to live in Florida. Sống
ở Florida hẳn là tuyệt lắm.
- Must + Inf còn có thể dùng nhấn mạnh một lời khuyên ở cấp độ cao nhất và bản thân
người nói nghĩ rằng việc đó là cần thiết.
Ví dụ:
I must go to bed earlier.
Tôi phải đi ngủ sớm hơn thôi.
Tuy nhiên, "must" không có dạng quá khứ, nên khi nhấn mạnh lời khuyên... trong quá khứ ta
dùng "had to".
HAVE TO + Inf
- Have to + Inf được dùng để chỉ việc mà ai đó bắt buộc phải làm. Nếu họ không làm, họ sẽ
phải trả giá.
Ví dụ:
I have to arrive at work at 9 sharp. My boss is very strict.
Tôi phải đến chỗ làm lúc 9 giờ đúng. Sếp của tôi rất là nghiêm. (Vì sếp quá nghiêm nên
tôi phải đến công ty đúng 9h chứ không được trễ hơn.)
We have to give him our answer today or lose out on the contract.
Chúng ta phải đưa ra câu trả lời của mình cho ông ấy trong ngày hôm nay nếu không sẽ bị
mất hợp đồng này. (Người nói buộc phải có câu trả lời trong ngày hôm nay mà không được
phép trì hoãn).
You have to pass your exams or the university will not accept you.
Hoặc là bạn phải đậu kì thi hoặc là trường đại học sẽ không nhận bạn vào học. (Bạn chỉ có
một con đường là phải đậu những kì thi nếu muốn được vào học đại học.)
- Trong tiếng Anh của người Anh, "have got to + Inf" thường được dùng thay cho "have
to + Inf".
Ví dụ:
I've got to take this book back to the library or I'll get a fine.
Tôi phải mang trả lại cuốn sách này cho thư viện nếu không tôi sẽ bị phạt.
Khi Must và Have to ở dạng kh ng nh thì sự khác biệt là rất nhỏ và khó để nhận ra. Nhưng,
khi chuyển sang dạng ph nh thì sự khác biệt trở nên rõ ràng.
* Must not/Mustn't do sth: Cấm không được làm gì.
Ví dụ:
I mustn't eat chocolate. It's bad for me.
Tôi không được phép ăn sô-cô-la. Nó không tốt cho sức khỏe của tôi. They
mustn't see us talking or they'll suspect something.
Không được để họ thấy chúng ta nói chuyện nếu không họ sẽ nghi ngờ.
* Don't have to + Inf (hay "Haven't got to + Inf" - theo tiếng Anh của người Anh): để nói
đến việc mà một người không cần phải làm nếu không muốn.
Ví dụ:
I don't have to listen to this. I'm leaving.
Tôi không cần phải nghe việc này. Tôi đi đây.
You haven’t to come if you don't want to.
Bạn không cần đến nếu không muốn.

1. when the party was and how old you were that time
2. who organized it (if not you yourself did it)
I was born in the month of March and I observe the day annually as my birthday.
Often some events are arranged marking the day at my home. Last year, my 20th
birthday was arranged at my college and my friends organised the surprising party.
3. who came to your party
It was really unexpected and the way they celebrated the day was memorable
indeed. None of them made me feel that it was my birthday. They tricked me
in different manners before the celebration and behaved that they knew nothing
about the day. Besides, some of my teachers have also wished me on the day
and it happened only for my friends.
4. what you did together during the time of the party
My birthday was celebrated inside the classroom and thus the entire class was
present there. All of my friends participated in the preparation for the party. Some
of them were involved in decorating the classroom and the rest others were busy
in planning to make me a fool on the day. The entire classroom was decorated
finely and especially the seat where I usually sit was decorated in a special
manner.
5. and explain how you felt after all
The birthday celebration was entirely different from the other birthdays.

Hot dog eating champion retains title after tiebreaker
For the second year in a row, American competitive eater Joey Chestnut defeated his
Japanese rival Takeru Kobayashi at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York
City, after a tie forced a five-hot-dog eat-off to be held. After ten minutes of hot dog eating,
two shorter than in previous years, Chestnut and Kobayashi were tied at 59 frankfurters. But
after the rare tiebreaker, 24-year-old Chestnut emerged as the winner, claiming a $10,000
prize and a mustard-yellow belt. "It was crazy," he said. "I'm just a normal guy eating hot
dogs on the Fourth. You can't overcomplicate it."Kobayashi, whose loss last year shattered a

performance. "If I put one more mouthful in, I could have won", the 30-year-old Nagano
native said through a translator. "I lost because I wasn't quick enough in the rematch."
This year, the 22 competitors were under a 10-minute time limit, unlike the 12
minutes used for previous contests. The reason for this, according to Nathan's, was the
discovery of a document from 1916, which revealed that the original competition was 10
minutes long. Thousands gathered at Coney Island to watch the annual event, which has
become one of the more colorful traditions of America's Independence Day.

Sample answer:
Good morning teacher!
I‘m happy to be here today to talk about my favourite website.
It is www.google.com website that I find very useful for me. Google.com is the most
visited website in the world as well as the best search engine currently. It helps people to
search for any information they want. It searches websites, video, news, image, and
information for the search keywords. The results are relevant and quickly.
It helps me to find any information that I need for my studying, especially in learning
English. I also use it to find songs, films or video for my entertaining. However, it wastes my
time sometimes.
For more than a decade, I have been using this website for searching things I want. It
can find search results virtually for anything someone searches. For me, this website is a great
place to find information, references, academic books, story, news, websites and anything I
wanted to know and find. This website is the gateway to other websites for me.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food.
They also help us to look nice.
How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel cornering of
the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay
slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite
ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year he
can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to
check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least
twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden
toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish,
brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and
cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they
stick to our teeth and cause decay.

A. be nice B. have good eyesight C. chew our food D. be important

A. their teeth grow properly C. they have toothache

Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century.
He was born in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Several years
later he spent one year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New York. For a
few years after that he roamed the world and writing some poetry. He returned to the United
States and attended Lincoln University, where he won the Witter Bynner Prize for
undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia with the
help of a Guggenhein fellowship.
His novels include Not Without Laughter (1930) and the Big Sea (1940). He wrote an
autobiography in 1956 and also published several collections of poetry. The collections
include The Weary Blues (1926), The Dream Keeper (1932), Shakespeare in Harlem (1942),
Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959). A man of
many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older man in the
1960s he spent much of his time collecting poems from Africa and from African-Americans
to popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished writers in American
literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, the
period when a neighborhood that was predominantly black produced a flood of great
literature, music, and other art forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.

EDUCATION REPORT
This is the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT.
This week in our Foreign Student Series, we discuss the first steps for students
interested in higher education in the United States.
One place to go for advive (1) and information about American
colleges and universities is an EducationUSAcenter. More than four hundred of these
educational advising centers are located around the world. The advisers at
EducationUSAcenters do not charge any money for their services (2) . They help
students find schools and get information about financial aid, admissions tests and visa
requirements. The centers are supported by the State Department. You can find the nearest
one on the State Department's Web site for international students. The address is
educationusa.state.gov. Again, it's educationusa.state.gov.
Another place to get information (3) is at an educational fair.
Representatives of American colleges and universities present information and answer
questions from students and their parents. The Institute of International Education has been
organizing (4) United States Higher Education Fairs in Asia since nineteen
eighty-two. Last year, more than fourteen thousand students attended (5) these
fairs in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam. The next higher education
fairs in Asia are in October. For example, more than seventy colleges and universities will
have (6) representatives in Hong Kong on October
eleventh. Other organizations hold similar events in other parts of the world. Information
about educational fairs in your country can be found (7) at the
same Web site, educationusa.state.gov.
One important piece of advice -- give yourself plenty of time (8) to

plan your studies in the United States. Educational advisers say you should begin
planning at least two years before you want to start classes. If you have a
question (9)for our series on American higher education, send it
to special@voanews.com. Or use the Contact Us link at voaspecialenglish.com. Make sure to
tell us who and where you are. We might answer your question on our
program (10) in the weeks ahead.
And that's the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT, written by Nancy
Steinbach. Transcripts and MP3s of our Foreign Student Series, and a link to the
EducationUSA Web site, are at voaspecialenglish.com. I'm Steve Ember.
ABOUT CHERRIES
I'm Steve Ember with the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.
There is something hard to resist about cherries. The small red fruit is a popular
seasonal food around the world. In northern areas,.......................................(1) trees are just
beginning to produce flowers.The cherry is a member of the same family of plants as the
rose. It is closely related to the plum. Like cherry trees, plum trees also
..............................(2) in early spring. Cherries are thought to be native to western Asia.
There are two major kinds of cherries harvested in the world: sweet and sour.
Sour cherries are not eaten fresh because they....................................(3) little
sugar. Instead, they are processed to make prepared foods like jellies and pies and to make
alcoholic drinks. The United States is a major producer of sour
cherries. Among the states, Michigan is the top producer. Russia, Poland and Turkey are
other important cherry-producing nations.
Sweet cherries contain much more sugar than their sour relatives and are usually
eaten fresh. Washington state is the.............................................(4) American producer,
followed by California and Oregon. The United States, Iran and Turkey are major producers
of sweet cherries. In the United States, production fell by twenty percent last year after a
record...........................................................(5) in two thousand four.Fresh cherries do not
store well. They must reach market as soon as possible. So they cost more than many other
kinds of fresh fruit.
...........................(6) produce different kinds of cherries through the process of grafting.
They take cuttings from existing trees and join them to related trees, known
as root stock. The cuttings, called scions [SY-uhnz], grow into the root stock, so the two
kinds of trees grow as one. Cherry trees are also..............................................(7) for their
springtime blossoms. Cherry blossoms are popular in many parts of Asia and Europe.
But Washington, D.C., has some of the most famous cherry trees in the
world. Japan gave the United States three thousand cherry trees in nineteen twelve as a gift
of..........................(8). There were twelve different kinds of cherry trees, but
most were a kind called Yoshino. Years later Japan gave another.......................................(9)
of three thousand eight hundred trees. In the early nineteen eighties, the United States provided
Japan with cuttings from the Yoshino trees in Washington. These cuttings
.........................(10) replace Japanese trees lost in a flood.

Section 2: Read the text and choose the correct answers.

One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events throughout the world
is the newspaper.
The purpose of newspapers is to inform the public of political, social economic and
entertainment happenings, among other things .Generally, there are three types of
newspapers: daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, and special-interest newspapers. Daily
newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend
edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for news, sports, arts and entertainment,
business and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print once a week and cover news of
interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They focus on local happenings
rather than national or international events. Special- interest newspapers may publish daily,
weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. They
generally disseminate news of interest to a particular group of readers or feature news about
a specific topic.

động bắt đầu xảy ra ở quá khư nhưng còn tiếp tục ở hiện tại.
Khác nhau:
1. Thì hiện tại hoàn thành nhấn mạnh kết quả của hành động
2. Thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn nhấn mạnh tính liên tục của một hành động trong một
khoảng thời gian nào đó.
Ex: I've learned all the vocabularies all afternoon.(Chỉ ra kết quả của hành động)
I've been learning all the vocabularies all afternoon (Nhấn mạnh tính liên tục)
3. Thì hiện tại hoàn thành nhấn mạnh về số lượng
Ex: Tina has typed 14 pages since 2 o‘clock.
I have run 450 miles for 15 mintues.
4. Thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn nhấn mạnh về khoảng thời gian
Ex: Tina has been typing since 2 o'clock. I
have been running for 15 minutes
5. Các động từ vừa được dùng ở thì hiện tại hoàn thành, vừa được dùng ở thì hiện tại hoàn
thành tiếp diễn mà không đổi nghĩa: Live, Work, Learn, Study, lie, Sleep, Teach, Stand, Sit,

Meaning of life – butterfly
A long time ago, there was a young man who wanted to find the meaning of life. He traveled
from the sea to the mountain to do that.
One day, he saw a butterfly trying to move its new wings. The new wings were weak, so it
was very hard for the butterfly to move them. Nearby, another butterfly was trying to get out
of its cocoon. Wanting to help, he broke the cocoon and the new butterfly easily got out.
The new butterfly tried to open its wings but could not, and then it became quiet, and silent in
death. The young man felt so sad. The butterfly could have got out of its cocoon, opened its
wings and flew high into the sky if he had not helped it. It should not have died in that way!
What can we learn from the young man‘s story? Let others do their work by themselves. No
one should do for another what that person can do alone. Sometimes, our help is not necessary
and it even may destroy everything. That is the rule of life.

Temptation
Let‘s come back to the young man and his journey. He was trying his best to reach the
mountain top where he thought wisdom was. After climbing for hours he was so tired. He sat
down in the shadow of a cliff, and the wind whipped around the rocks in warning ―No
giving up!‖ it whispered ―Get up, and fulfill your promise. Get up!‖ The young man stood up
and went on his way. Suddenly the young man was looking
into a lovely meadow. The smell of flowers and sweet music seemed to fill the air, and the
young man was drawn in
There were people laughing and dancing, and eating good food. And the young man
wanted to join their fun. He picked some flowers near there and was going to join them.
Then a large sunflower spoke gently to him, ―Don't lose your focus on what you are
supposed to do just for the beauty of this moment. Do not let the laughter of the party
change your vision. Do not allow this temptation to change your path‖. The young man
listened to the flower.
He looked longingly to the people who were playing, and he turned to follow the path to the
top of the mountain.
From the sunflower he learnt not to give into temptation, for it would destroy all of his
efforts.
He learned to recognize the things that would tempt him from the purpose of his work.
Although there are times for fun, one must complete one‘s work first.

Today we will continue with the story of the young man who wanted to find the meaning of
life. After the experience he gained from the butterfly‘s story, what other lessons will he
learn?
When he was on his journey, it began to rain. As the rain got heavier and heavier, he had to
find a cave for shelter. In the small cave he watched the harsh, cold wind blowing outside and
the lightening lit the hillside with its brightness.
Nearby there was a great, solid oak tree and also a small willow tree fighting with the violent
wind. The oak tree spoke proudly ―I‘m strong, and brave. I've never been afraid of anyone or
anything.‖ Suddenly, the violent wind blew, and the oak tree was broken in only a few
minutes.
The young man heard the fallen oak say: ―I‘m strong, rigid, solid and now broken.‖ The
willow said, ―I‘m flexible. I‘m a toy to the wind. I bend.‖ As the willow tree bend and swayed,
bowing low to the ground, it survived.
When the storm became quiet, the young man got out of the cave. He has just got his second
lesson of his trip: ―Learn to bend, and move like the willow in the current; for then you can

Isn't it amazing how much time we spend speaking about food? Have you ever eaten
…? "What did you have for lunch?" and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to
another, find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what
they eat is normal and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for
example no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes everyday. In the
Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do,
becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink tea and coffee four or
five times everyday, Australians drink a large amount of beer and the French drink wine
everyday.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is
thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New
Zealand eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat
because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is very little
common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have
always eaten, and there is very little we can change our eating habits.

The umbrella is a very ordinary object. It keeps the rain and the sun of people. Most
umbrellas fold up, so it is easy to carry them. However, the umbrella did not begin life as an
ordinary object. It was a sign of royalty or importance. Some African tribes still use umbrellas
in this way today. Someone caries an umbrella and walks behind the king or important
person.
Umbrellas are very old. The Chinese had them in the eleventh century BC. From there they
traveled to India, Persia, and Egypt. In Greece and Rome, men would not use them. They
believed umbrellas were only for women. When the Spanish explorers went to Mexico, they
saw the Aztec kings using umbrellas. English explorers saw Native American princes
carrying umbrellas on the east coast of North America. It seems that people in different part
of the world invented umbrellas at different times. England was probably the first country in
Europe where ordinary people used umbrellas against the rain. England had rainy climate,
and umbrellas are very useful there.
