live in and expose us to things we might otherwise never come across in our own lives.
Exercise 4: Complete the following sentences with no more than three words.
Disadvantages of watching television
Sex, crime, and violence are frequently depicted on television and may have negative
effects on impressionable children (and adults!). Kids who see violent acts are more
likely to display aggressive or violent behavior and also to believe that the world is a
scary place and that something bad is going happen to them. Ongoing studies have
shown a lasting correlation between watching violence on television and aggression that
begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. Viewers sometimes imitate violent,
criminal, sexual, or other risky behavior they see on television... and end up in trouble, in
jail, or in a hospital as a result.
Watching too much television is not good for your health. Studies have shown that there
is a correlation between watching television and obesity. Excessive TV watching (more
than 3 hours a day) can also contribute to sleep difficulties, behavior problems, lower
grades, and other health issues.
Television makes us antisocial, taking the place of family and friends.
It’s a waste of time. Watching television fills the time a person might have spent doing
important, enriching things like interacting socially with other human beings, being
physically active, discovering the outdoors, reading, using one’s own imagination, or
accomplishing other things like working or doing homework or chores, or spending time
with enriching hobbies like art, music, etc.
Television might be addictive. For those who watch a lot, it’s very hard to quit, so it is
similar to a dependency like alcoholism or any another addiction. Recent studies have
found that up to 12% percent of TV-watchers feelunhappy about the amount of TV they
watch, consider themselves addicts yet feel incapable of stopping themselves.
1. Sex, crime, and violence may have ............................ on impressionablechildren.

2. Watching TV more than 3 hours per day can contribute to ............................ behavior
problems, lower grades, and other health issues.
3. We become ............................ when we spend too much time on TV.

5. Those who watch TV too much may become ............................

and answering questions in oral speech.

“y” thành “ier”:
Ví dụ:happier, noisier

Discover New Cultures Clutter-free Life
Cheaper Living The Ability to Live and Visit Anywhere
BENEFITS OF BEING NOMADIC
1. ......................................................................................
Owning a home naturally lends itself to clutter. You have so much room, why not fill it?
Nomadic life removes all this space and leaves you with the bare essentials. Backpackers
trim their belongings down to what they can fit in their packs; and RV-ers must limit
their possessions to what can fit in their RV. While your new RV is spacious and roomy,
you will think twice about loading up your old treadmill.
2. ......................................................................................
Removing a rent or mortgage payment frees up a large amount of cash. While living on
the road can make holding a traditional job difficult, many nomads are turning to the
Internet to fund their journeys. You may also be able to get work from town-to-town.
Bear in mind that the nomadic life has its own expenses. For example, nomads who live
in a RV must continually fuel their home, find campsites and pay for insurance.
3. ......................................................................................
A nomad experiences the ultimate in geographical freedom. This is one of the most
attractive benefits of nomadic living. You can follow every inclination and desire you
have. Want to see the Grand Canyon? Plot a course. Need to get your feet in the sand?
Head for the coast. Nomads can follow their fantasies and make them reality.
4. ......................................................................................
According to a study by the Kellogg School of Management, those who have lived
abroad or nomadic lifestyles were consistently more creative and able tothink outside
the box. Exposing yourself to new cultures can do wonders for your mental acuity by
learning new ways of thought, traditions and morals.

Exercise 4: Read the text answer the questions.
VIETNAMESE FARMERS
Vietnam is an agricultural country and about 67% of Vietnamese people live in the rural
areas. Both men and women work on the fields. Rural women in Vietnam typically do
hard outdoor physical labor, which keeps them physically fit and strong. Everyday, they
wake up early to get started on their work, normally before the sun comes up. The fields
are near their houses, so they often walk to the field. The entire family helps out during
planting and harvest. Each family member has certain tasks to do. Men do heavy labor
like plowing and digging. Women work around the house, and help with the harvest,
planning and weeding. The elderly do light labor. Children, if not going to school, will
help the house chores. Girls clean, cook, and work in the vegetable garden; while boys
carry water, and help the men in the field. In the countryside, almost every house has a
garden to grow vegetables, fruits for family demand or selling for more incomes. Besides
growing vegetables, they also keep cattle, pigs and poultry. The day ends up with a
family meal together. It’s a great time for all family members to share their stories and
get closer to each other.

MUONG ETHNIC GROUP CULTURAL SPACE MUSEUM IN HOA BINH
The first thing visitors see is water spilling over rock formation into a stream flanked by
rice mortars, a reflection of the unique cultural identity of the Muong people. The
centuries-old Muong culture is captured in two sections: a reenactment section and a
display section. The reenactment section contains 4 Muong stilt houses that illustrate
the social stratification of feudal society. The Muong houses are differentiated by
socialstatus - the “Lang” house for the most powerful families, the “Âu” house for the
mandarins, the ‘Tạo” house for ordinary people, and the “Nõ” house for the lowest
class, such as widows and orphans. Further on are display rooms which showcase
traditional Muong handicrafts such as knitted woven and embroidered fabrics, tools for
hunting and farming, and items used in festivals, traditional observances, and religious
practice. Visitor Ngo Thu Nga from Hanoi told VOV: “I am grateful for the initiative, love
of Muong culture, and effort that created these displays and this museum.”

VIETNAMESE COSTUME
The most recognisable traditional garment you’re likely to see in Vietnam today is the ao
dai, an item of national dress consisting of a long, tight-fitting, silk tunic worn over loose
trousers. The design of the modern ao dai is a variation on more traditional forms of
dress, and was perfected in the 1950s. Though it was banned in the late 1970s, the ao
dai has since seen a resurgence and many women in Vietnam continue to wear it, often
as part of a uniform for schools, universities and public service roles.

The male equivalent of the ao dai is called the ao gam, and is a brocade tunic ordinarily
worn only on special occasions, such as birthdays or festivals. You are less likely to see
the ao gam than the ao dai in a day-to-day setting in Vietnam.
More well-known even than the ao dai, the non la is a style of Vietnamese conical hat
that has become symbolic not just of Vietnam but of East Asia in general for many
Westerners. The hat, which is usually made from bamboo or straw, appears in
Vietnamese art dating from 2,500-3,000 years ago, and is considered part of modern
Vietnamese national costume.
From the early twentieth century onwards, most Vietnamese have worn Western-style
clothing in day-to-day life, while members of minority ethnic groups in the north of
country still commonly wear the traditional dress of their own particular locality.

FUNERAL CEREMONY IN VIETNAM
Traditionally, Vietnamese people believe that death is one of the most solemn
ceremonies as “The sense of the dead is that of the final”. The funeral ceremony in
Vietnam undergoes several steps. First, the body will be washed and dressed; then, a
pinch of rice and three coins are put in themouth of the body, then they lay chopstick
between his teeth. After that, the body is put on the ground with the meaning that
“being born from the earth, one must return back to the earth.” Next, he is enveloped
with white cloth, and put in to the coffin. Finally, the master of the funeral officially
performs the funeral ceremony. During these days, all family members have to wear
coarse gauze turbans and tunics, and hats made of straw, or dry banana fiber.
Worshiping meals and music are offered to the dead during these days. All relatives,
neighbors and friends come to offer their condolences. The funeral procession is
conducted. All relatives, friends, and family members join the procession to accompany
the dead to the burial ground. After three days, there is a ritual of opening the grave.
After 49 days, the family stops offering meals for the dead to the altar. 100 days later,
the ritual of “the end of the tears” is celebrated. The mourning will end after three
years. Nowadays, although mourning ceremonies follow simple rituals, they keep
traditional meaning and solemn ceremonies to express their respect to the dead.

liên từ. Các liên từ thường được dùng là: and (và), but (nhưng) or (hoặc), so (vì vậy),

LUNAR NEW YEAR
Lunar New Year Festival often falls between late January and early February; it is among
the most important holidays in Vietnam. Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and
3rd day of January in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese people often spend about
nearly a month to celebrate this special event.
Since Tet occupies an important role in Vietnamese’s religious beliefs, Vietnamese will
begin their preparations well in advance of the upcoming New Year. In an effort to get
rid of the bad luck of the old year, people will spend a few days cleaning their homes,
polishing every utensil, or even repaint and decorate the house with kumquat tree,
branches of peach blossom, and many other colorful flowers. The ancestral altar is
especially taken care of, with careful decoration of five kinds of fruits and votive papers,
along with many religious rituals. Everybody, especially children, buy new clothes and
shoes to wear on the first days of New Year. People also try to pay all their pending
debts and resolve all the arguments among colleagues, friends or members of family.
Vietnamese believe that the color of red and yellow will bring good fortune, which may
explain why these colors can be seen everywhere in Lunar New Year. People consider
what they do on the dawn of Tet will determine their fate for the whole year, hence
people always smile and behave as nice as they can in the hope for a better year.
Besides, gifts are exchanged between family members and friends and relatives, while
children receive lucky money kept in red envelope. No matter where Tet is celebrated, it
must be clarified from the beginning that Tet is not a day, but several days of
celebration.

Câu phủ định S + did + not + V S + was/ were + not
Câu hỏi Did + S + V? Was/ Were + S?
1.2. Cách dùng chính

a. Thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả một sự việc xảy ra tại một thời điểm cụ thể trong quá khứ
và đã kết thúc hoàn toàn.
Ví dụ:
I saw him in the bar club yesterday.
Tôi thấy anh ta trong quán rượu ngày hôm qua.
They didn’t agree to the deal.

b. Diễn tả một loạt hành động xảy ra kế tiếp nhau trong quá khứ
Ví dụ:
She came home, switched on the computer and checked her emails.
Cô ấy về nhà, khởi động máy tính và kiểm tra hộp thư điện tử của mình.
c.Diễn tả một hành động xen vào một hành động khác đang xảy ra trong quá khứ
(hành động xen vào ta sử dụng thì quá khứ đơn, hành động đang xảy ra ta dùng thì
quá khứ tiếp diễn.)
Ví dụ:
When I was reading a book, my dad called me.
Khi tôi đang đọc sách, bố tôi đõ gọi.
d. Thì quá khứ đơn được dùng trong câu điều kiện loại 2
Ví dụ:
If I had a million dollar, I would buy that villa.
Nếu tôi có một triệu đô, tôi sẽ mua cái biệt thự đó.
1.3. Các trạng ngữ thường gặp trong thời quá khứ đơn.
Yesterday, ago, finally, at last, in the last century, in the past, last (week, month,
year), in (2013, June), in the (2000,1970s), from (March) to (April) etc.
1.4. Quy tắc thêm đuôi “ed” vào sau động từ có quy tắc.
Động từ không kết thúc bằng “e”, ta thêm “ed” vào sau động từ.
Ví dụ: happen  happened; play  played
Động từ kết thúc bằng “e”, ta chỉ thêm “d” vào sau động từ.
Ví dụ: smile  smiled; hope  hoped
Động từ kết thúc bằng “y”, ta đổi “y” thì rồi thêm “ed”.
Ví dụ: carry  carried; try  tried
Động từ một âm tiết và có một phụ âm cuối, ta gấp đôi phụ âm cuối rồi mới thêm ed

73
Ví dụ: stop  stopped; hug  hugged

Trường hợp từ có hai, ba phụ âm cuối thì không cần nhân phụ âm cuối mà chỉ việc
thêm ed như bình thường.
Ví dụ: climb  climbed; comb  combed
Động từ hai âm tiết trở lên, nếu trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết cuối thì ta nhân đôi phụ âm
cuối rồi mới thêm ed.
Ví dụ: prefer  preferred; permit  permitted;...

When I left the room, my wife was talking with Sanny.

b. Hành động đang diễn ra liên tục trong một khoảng thời gian nhằm nhấn mạnh tính
liên tục của nó.
Ví dụ:

c. Một hành động đang diễn ra trong quá khứ thì có hành động khác xen vào. (Hành
động đang diễn ra thì dùng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn, hành động xen vào thì dùng thì quá
khứ đơn.)

Tôi đang đi bộ trong công viên thì bất ngờ vấp ngã.
d. Hai hành động xảy ra đồng thời trong quá khứ.

THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE
A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow.
“Do you ever get anywhere?” he asked with a mocking laugh.
“Yes,” replied the Tortoise, “and I get there sooner than you
think. I’ll run you a race and prove it.”
The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the
fun of the thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented as judge, marked the
distance and started the runners off.
The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how
ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take
a nap until the Tortoise should catch up.
The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the
place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at
last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but
he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.

My name is Tuan. In my free time, I really like surfing the Internet. When I get home
from work, I turn on my computer, wait until it boots up completely, and then I go
online. I still have a dial-up connection, but I’m switching to a broadband Internet
service soon. It costs more a month, but Webpages load faster with a high-speed
connection, I can upload and download files quicker. I usually check my email first and
write a few messages to family and friends. I sometimes scan the local news headlines at
my favorite news Website and read up on the latest local and international news. This
Website often provides video news clips that you can view online. I sometimes order
products or services online to save money and time instead of going to a store and
buying what I’m looking for. For example, I ordered a digital camera onlinethe other day
and saved about $50. Whatever I do, I realize that there are problems with using the
Internet including scams, identity theft, and viruses, so I’m very careful not to give out
my personal information. Furthermore, I don’t download or open files I don’t recognize.
Using the Internet can be fun and convenient way of shopping and finding out new
information, but you just need to be careful.

WEEK 2
“God made the country and man made the town”, so said the Bible. Country life is
natural; town life is artificial. In the country, we are close to Nature. We are surrounded
by green fields, flowers and trees. There are streams and brooks.
People are open, plain and frank. They are generous and hospitable. They are attached

VIETNAMESE CUSTOMS AND HABITS

powers, Vietnamese people still remains their unique cultural identity.
In the course of development, customs and habits are indispensable spiritual field in
Vietnamese culture. It is the original cultural values of the country strongly that define
the identity and the long-lastingness of culture in Vietnam. In the entire history of
Vietnam, Vietnamese culture is the combination of native culture, cultural exchange
with China, Asian region and western countries. However, with a firm native culture,
Vietnamese people keep their culture away from being assimilated, and ‘Vietnamizing”
those cultural features instead. Vietnamese culture is characterized by a series of unique
customs and habits such as worshiping ancestors, chewing betel, and other customs in
traditional ceremonies like funeral ceremony, long-life ceremony, etc. These customs
and habits are associated with community of villages and communes. Vietnam is a

This festival celebrates the legendary birth of Vietnam’s first kings, the Hung Vuong.
Details of their origin remain sketchy, but the story has become rather embellished over
the years: born from the union of a mountain princess and a sea dragon, the Hung
Vuong came from a hundred sons hatched from a hundred eggs laid by said princess.
Half the sons went back to the sea with their father, while the rest stayed behind with
their mother and learned to rule.
To remember the valiant sons of this lineage, people gather at the Hung Temple, located
near Viet Tri City in Phu Tho province, about 50 miles from Hanoi.

Slowly the big egg began to crack and the strange looking duckling came up.
Mother duck was surprised. The younger duckling was great and bigger than the rest.
“How ugly the little one is”, she thought.
As the day went by, the ducklings began to grow, but the younger duckling looked
different from the rest.
Everybody looked at him and said, ‘There goes the ugly duckling .

Once upon a time, there’ was a very rich man who lived in a village. When he died, he
left his two sons a huge fortune. But the two brothers were entirely different. The elder
was greedy, but the younger was very kind. The elder brother gave the younger brother
only a starfruit tree. When the fruit was ripe, an eagle came and ate the fruit. The
younger begged the eagle not to. The eagle promised to repay him in gold. The eagle
took him to the gold island. There the younger brother filled his bag with gold. He
became rich when he got home. The elder brother knew the story and offered to swap
his fortune for the starfruit tree. His kind brother accepted. When the eagle came, the
elder brother asked it to take him to the gold island. The greedy brother filled a very
