QUESTION 1: Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE
WHAT WILL LIFE BE LIKE IN 2035?
Technologically, the 20-year jump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge. During that time
some elements of our world will change completely while others will stay familiar.
Consider the 20 years to 2015. Back in 1995 we were in the early days of the internet, we
worked in cubicles and our computers were chunky and powered by Windows 95. There
were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs; people laughed at the idea of reading
electronic books, and watching a home movie meant loading a clunky cassette into your
VCR.
So, what will our world really be like 20 years from now? What does the future
hold for the food we eat, the technology we use and the homes we live in? It would be
easy to roll out the popular predictions – food pills, flying cars and bases on the moon –
but the reality will probably be less exciting. The world in 2035 will probably be much like it
is today, but smarter and more automatic. Some innovations we might not notice, while
others will knock us sideways, changing our lives forever.
1. In 2035, life will be completely different.
2. Many things we do today were unimaginable 20 years ago.
3. People in 2035 will use more machines than today.
Answer:
1. FALSE
2. TRUE
3. TRUE

“Thế giới tương lai” trong trí tưởng tượng của Microsoft
Dân trí Microsoft vừa tung ra 1 đoạn video để "vẽ ra" một viễn cảnh về tương lai thế giới “gã
khổng lồ” công nghệ tin là sẽ xảy ra trong thời gian sắp tới, mà trong đó, công nghệ đã làm thay
đổi tất cả các lĩnh vực trong đời sống của con người.
Cùng với sự phát triển của công nghệ, cuộc sống của con người cũng dần được thay đổi theo
chiều hướng tích cực hơn. Dù vậy, mọi thứ vẫn chưa có điểm dừng và Microsoft cho thấy muốn
hơn thế nữa, đặc biệt qua đoạn video mà hãng vừa đăng tải lên Youtube.
Trong đó, Microsoft đã “vẽ” nên một tương lai trong vài năm tới, dành cho mọi lĩnh vực của
cuộc sống, với những thiết bị nhỏ gọn và tương tác đơn giản ngay trong tay.
Dưới đây là những điểm nổi bật nhất trong đoạn video mà Microsoft hy vọng công nghệ sẽ
mang đến cho cuộc sống của con người trong tương lai:
Kính mắt thông minh: Microsoft đã “vẽ” nên một thiết bị có thể dịch trực tiếp giọng nói ra
thành ngôn ngữ quen thuộc, dành cho những khách du lịch ra nước ngoài.
Biển quảng cáo tương tác: biển quảng cáo này có thể nhận diện được ai đang nhìn nó và có
thể phản ứng phù hợp. Trong trường hợp của đoạn video trên, một người đàn ông đã quyên góp
một khoản tiền cho bảng quảng cáo, lập tức nhân vật trong bảng quảng cáo thể hiện sự cảm ơn.
Danh thiếp thông minh: một nhân viên lễ tân khách sạn cầm một thiết bị với kích cỡ tương
ứng một danh thiếp, sẽ thông báo cho anh biết vị khách nào đang đến.

II. ENGLISH

We use conditional sentences to talk about the result of a possible situation.

1. ZERO CONDITIONAL
 We use zero conditional to talk about things that are always true – for example,
habits or scientific facts.

If you heat chocolate, it melts. (fact)

If my dad wakes up early, he goes for a run. (habit)

 To form the zero conditional, we use the present tense in the if clause and in the
main clause.

 We can put the if clause at the start or end of the sentence. When the if clause
comes first, we put a comma between the two clauses.
If he’s on holiday, he gets up late.
He gets up late if he’s on holiday.

Example: If the weather is nice, we usually have dinner outside. (have)

2. FIRST CONDITIONAL
 We use the first conditional to talk about a possible future situation and its result.

If Max wants to come, I’ll buy another ticket.
