TEACHER’S BOOK
Preface
Tiếng Anh 10 Bright is a textbook based on the latest English curriculum of the Ministry of
Education and Training. The book is specially designed to enable students to develop the
skills they need to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Tiếng Anh 10 Bright consists of eight units. Each unit contains Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading,
Listening, Speaking, and Writing sections, along with Culture Spot and Values sections. All
Reading texts are accompanied by theme-related videos. Grammar features language
presented in context with engaging practice activities. In addition, Think! exercises aim to
develop students’ critical thinking skills. Study Skills sections help students become
autonomous learners while ICT tasks aim to develop students’ information and
communication technology skills. There are also a variety of tasks that promote collaboration
and creativity. For every two units, there are Culture Corner, CLIL, and Progress Check
sections. For every four units, there is a Review section.

We wish to thank the Board of Review from the Ministry of Education and Training for
reviewing Tiếng Anh 10 Bright and providing valuable insights into how to bring the book to
perfection.

Hi Michelle‚
I had an incredible experience in Hanoi today! Cory and I went to see a traditional water puppet show at the Thăng
Long Water Puppet Theatre. We were excited because these performances are an important part of Vietnam’s
cultural heritage.
When the performance started‚ I was completely surprised to see a colourful dragon moving across water. 1
While a band was playing traditional music‚ the puppets were moving and dancing on the surface of the water. The
puppeteers hid behind a bamboo screen and used underwater rods to move the wooden puppets. The singers in
the band were encouraging the characters in the stories with their songs. I couldn’t understand what they were
saying in Vietnamese. 2 At one point‚ a dragon sprayed water at the audience!
The stories in the show are about farm life as well as folk tales and legends. 3 Back then‚ villagers performed
water puppet shows to celebrate the rice harvest and other special occasions. They made characters from wood and
used rods to make them move on the water‚ just like the puppeteers do today.
I am so happy we had the chance to see this unique performance that goes back thousands of years!
See you soon.

Hi Henry,
How was your weekend? I went to the Huế
Festival and it was amazing! It takes place every
two years in April and I went with my brother,
Sam. We love local festivals.
We arrived at the venue just on time for the
opening ceremony. During the festival, lots
of cultural events took place such as street
performances, boat races and kite flying. I really
loved watching the beautiful kites of all shapes
and colours flying high in the sky. Everyone was
dancing in the streets and the atmosphere was
amazing.
It was a great festival. The music was lively and
the boat races were a lot of fun. If you ever
get the chance to attend the Huế Festival, you
should definitely go.
Yours,

A woman’s work
is never done!
In the past, there were a number of jobs that were
traditionally thought of as ‘man’s work’, but not anymore.
Meet two women breaking those traditional barriers.
Caroline works as a type of camera assistant called a
grip. She holds and moves the camera on a film or
television set. She really enjoys her job but says it is
hard work. “There’s a lot of heavy lifting that can be
difficult.” She thinks the physical side of the job is why
there aren’t a lot of women in this job. She found it
especially difficult when she started. People thought she
worked in makeup or the art department and would tell
her to stay away from her camera. Now, however, they
accept who she is and what she does.
Emma is a mechanic. She has always loved cars and
started working unpaid in a garage when she was 27.
She soon knew enough to train for a qualification. Emma
thinks that women are better mechanics than men
because they are calmer and more easily able to focus
on problems. She has also found that a number of
drivers, especially women, prefer to speak to her about
their cars because they trust her more. That’s the reason
she decided to open her own garage. She plans to open
more garages, so she can train more women to be
mechanics.

7 Suggested Answer Key


Should students participate in community
service activities in their free time?
In my opinion, students should participate in
community service activities for many reasons.
Firstly, these activities teach them how important
it is to help others. For example, when high
school students give the old and poor a hand,
they sympathise with them and also realise
how lucky they are. Secondly, participating in
voluntary programmes is also a very effective
way for students to gain life skills, such as
communication, problem solving, teamwork and
time management. For instance, to prepare for a
voluntary event, they have to learn how to work
better in teams, such as setting up activities,
giving jobs to the volunteers and interacting
with others. For those reasons, I believe that
students should spend their free time taking part
in community service activities.

Hi Henry,
How are you? Guess what! Last weekend, we
held an event at my school to raise money for
the homeless in the area. We did a similar event
last year and it was great!
The teachers organised a half-marathon on
Saturday and lots of people took part. I didn’t
sign up, though. I have never trained for a
marathon before but I helped prepare the tag
numbers for the marathon. On Sunday, there
was a cake sale and I helped out. I baked 50
vanilla cupcakes and I made some cookies, too!
The event was great. I had a lot of fun
participating and we managed to raise enough
money for the homeless. What did you do last
weekend?
Talk to you soon.

Travel to one of the most remote destinations on Earth! The Galápagos Islands are 1,000 km
west of South America in the Pacific Ocean. They’re the perfect place for nature lovers.
The Galápagos Islands are the best place to see incredible animals, including the only species
of penguin found north of the equator! There are sea lions, too, and marine iguanas, a type of
lizard that swims in the sea. The Galápagos Islands are also home to giant tortoises. These
are the largest tortoises on Earth and they live longer than any other reptile on the planet.
Some are over 150 years old!
sea lions
All these animals are endangered species, so eco-tourism is very important in the Galápagos
Islands. Visitors need special permission to spend their holiday there. Also, there is a limit
to the number of people that can visit the islands. At Tortoise Tours, we can help you with
that! We can also plan your holiday from start to finish – we make it as easy as planning a
trip in your own country.
Please remember that the Galápagos Islands have a ‘leave no trace’ policy to protect
nature. This means never drop litter, damage the environment or harm animals. After all,
you don’t visit the Galápagos Islands to change them, but for them to change you! marine iguana

Dear Kate,
Guess what! I’ve just got back from my summer
sightseeing holiday in Rome, Italy. I went there
with my parents.
We visited the Colosseum and walked down to
the Trevi Fountain and made a wish. Walking
along the busy roads of Rome, all the majestic
statues and marble that surrounds the city gives
us the essence of being in another time and era.
I spent most of my time visiting museums and
famous landmarks of Rome. My favourite place
was the Vatican City. There, I got the chance
to see the Sistine Chapel that Michael Angelo
drew back in the 1500’s.
I had a fantastic time in Rome. You should
definitely visit if you get the chance! In the
meantime, you can check out my photos on my

A new way to learn
Apps are being used in education. They are useful because
students can use them anytime, anywhere and on any device.
They present information in bite-sized chunks, which people
find easy to understand and remember. Lessons can also be
turned into games, making learning fun! Soon, apps will be
the new normal.
Augmented Reality (AR)
Inside AR apps, the real world is mixed with the digital one.
These apps are downloaded and teachers use them to make
learning more interesting. These apps capture students’
attention and help them concentrate and interact with their
lessons. Students can experience the material and become
more interested in the subject. At the same time, they can
explore the topic taught at their own pace.
In the future, apps will be able to do a lot of things for us.
Some people think this will have a lot of benefits, others
think it will make us lazy or that we will forget how to do
things for ourselves. Whatever your opinion on modern
technology, one thing is certain: the apps of the future will

Imagine a robot which can tell how you feel just by listening to the sound of
your voice and looking at your body language. Meet Pepper, the ‘social robot’,
which can understand human emotions!
Pepper was created by a French company called Aldebaran in 2014. It went
on sale in Japan in 2015 and in the USA the following year.
Pepper is a humanoid robot. This means that it looks a bit like a person. It is
1.2 m tall with a head and two arms, and two wheels to move around. Its
head has got four microphones and two HD cameras which allow it to
navigate and connect with people. Pepper can understand 20 languages and
it knows if it’s talking to a man, woman or child. It can also understand how
a person is feeling by the tone of their voice and their body language. And if
you’re feeling sad, it tries to make you happy! It can tell you a joke, sing a
song and even dance to cheer you up!
Some hospitals use Pepper to greet new patients and walk with them to the
correct department. Also, it can cheer up sick children and help them do their
physical exercises!
The inventors of Pepper are always creating new software to improve the
robot. They also say that Pepper itself has the ability to learn over time! So,
who knows what Pepper will think of next to put a smile on our faces!

1 What does DNA stand for?
3.25 Listen and read to
find out.

DNA is one of the most important things in all living creatures.


But what is it exactly? And why is it so important?
DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that
contains the genetic code of organisms.
Our DNA contains all the genetic details that make us what we
are. Instructions for how our cells grow and work are all inside our
DNA. So DNA is a kind of instruction book for how we look.
We have forty-six chromosomes in our bodies, twenty-three
from each of our parents, which join together to make pairs. The
discovery of chromosomes has been one of the biggest and most
important scientific discoveries in human history.
Scientists study DNA for lots of reasons. It can help them
understand and treat diseases, genetically modify or improve
food, identify people from hair or blood samples, and even create
new life through technology like cloning (an identical copy of a
plant or animal).
By understanding our DNA and the information inside it, we can
understand a lot about ourselves and our health. For example, we
can see if we might get certain health problems or illnesses, and
we can change our lifestyles to avoid them.
The secrets inside DNA are the key to all life. The more we learn
about them, the more we learn about ourselves and the world • molecule • organism • genetic

How can online courses help students?


by Richard Bennet
I believe that online courses have become more
popular nowadays and they bring a number of
benefits to students. Firstly, online courses offer
students a more flexible timetable. They can
choose their own timetable and study wherever
and whenever they want. As a result, students who
work can plan their studies round their working
time. Secondly, online courses usually offer a
less expensive alternative compared to courses in
school. As online courses have no classrooms or
coursebooks, they are less expensive to run and
more affordable for students. In conclusion, online
courses are not only a great way for those with
a busy life to learn, but they also offer a cheaper
option than traditional courses. They seem to be
the future of learning.

I believe that turning off the lights and recycling
our litter are two effective ways to help protect
the environment. To start with, we can help by
doing simple things like turning off the lights
when we are not using them and not leaving
devices on standby. By doing these, we can
reduce our electricity usage. Furthermore,
it would be a good idea to recycle our litter
by putting it in the correct bin (plastic, glass,
compost, etc.). If we do this, we won’t have a lot
of litter and the land and oceans will be cleaner.
To sum up, I firmly believe that we should try
to reduce our electricity usage and recycle our
litter. By doing so, we can help the environment
and make our world a better place to live.

Josh: Hi, Sandra. Have you decided where you’re
going on holiday yet?
Sandra: Well, I went sightseeing in Rome last year
and I wanted to do something different this
summer, so I’m going to the Galápagos
Islands. I’ve booked my tickets as only a
certain number of people are allowed to
visit. I want to see all the animals that live
there. The Galápagos Islands are a great
eco-destination. What about you, Josh?
Josh: My parents and I are going to Africa! We’ll
have a unique opportunity to explore nature
and see wild animals up close.
Sandra: Wow, that sounds like fun. Is your sister
going too?
Josh: Abigail, no, she’s going to the seaside with
her friends. Abigail loves relaxing by the sea
and sunbathing.
Sandra: What about your grandparents?
Josh: They are going to Spain. Accommodation,
food and flights are included in the price
plus tours. They’ll visit local sights, learn
about the culture and try local dishes. I’m
sure they’ll bring us souvenirs from Spain.
Sandra: Well, it sounds like you’ll all have a great
time even if you aren’t together.
