Flu spreads through viruses. You get them when you breathe in little drops that spray from an
infected person when they sneeze, cough, or even laugh. You can also catch flu if the drops get on
your hands and you touch your mouth or nose. Flu viruses are very good at entering a body. They
have lots of spikes. With these spikes they stick to cells and travel through the body.
When the body’s immune system (hệ thống miễn nhiễm) notices the viruses, it raises body
temperature. When body temperature is higher, the virus cannot grow so easily.
Normally, flu takes the immune system about a week to win the fight against flu. Flu is an illness
that often happens during the cold months. In many countries doctors advise getting a flu shot
before the flu season starts.

factory, or we can use glass bottles or paper bags instead of plastic ones. In addition, we reduce

Every year on 5th November people in Britain celebrate Bonfire Night. They light big bonfires in
their gardens and in parks and organize firework displays. People sometimes cook potatoes in the
fire and drink soup while they watch the fireworks. Traditionally, people make a model of a man,
called a “guy”, with old clothes and newspaper, and burns him on the fire. This is because on 5 th
November 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes tried to blow up King James I and his government in
44
London. Guy Fawkes wanted to kill the king because the king was a Protestant and Guy Fawkes
wanted a Catholic king. Fawkes wasn’t successful, and the first Bonfire Night took place in 1606,

There are three main kinds of pollution – air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution. Air,
which is the most important element of our environment for our survival, can be polluted in many
ways. Smoke in the air from mills, factories, and industry contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
and methane, which are all poisonous gases. This leads to health problems like asthma and lung
diseases, and the thinning of the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful UV rays. China, the
USA, Russia, India, Mexico, and Japan are the world leaders in air pollution emissions. Water is also
polluted by the discharge of commercial and industrial waste into surface water. Sewage in drinking
water is another cause of water pollution as it contains germs and viruses. The noise of vehicles, mills
and factories can be really unbearable. This kind of constant sound also causes headaches, tension,
mental stress, and migraines. People living next to a building site where there is too much noise can
become sick, as they cannot sleep or relax. This is called noise pollution.
Tasks A: Write True or False (1pt)
1.Air plays the most important role in our survival.

Vu Lan Festival
Vu Lan Festival annually takes place on 15th day of the seventh lunar month. It is also called
“Xa toi vong nhan” festival because this is the day for the death’s souls. Many people believe that
on that day, when the gate of the hell opens, souls of the dead can come back to their home and
gather with their family. Moreover, Vietnamese people consider that it is also the occasion for
family gatherings as well as expressing love and gratitude to ancestors and parents. Therefore, Vu
Lan Festival is known as Mother’s Day in Vietnam.
First, in the morning of that day, a lavish tray with various delicious dishes set on the altar, and
the householder will burn incense and invite ancestor to come back home and celebrate the festival
with family. Then, at night the Vietnamese hold a ceremony of releasing lighted lanterns on the
river because Vietnamese people believe by doing that, their wishes for parents will come true.
