evening when she drives home. All the traffic comes to a halt whenever there is an accident or a car broken down and
blocks an entire lane. In the winter, particularly when it snows, multi-car accidents with injuries can take vehicles

STRANGE TRAFFIC LAWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
• It’s illegal to eat or drink while driving in Cyprus.
• In South Africa, animals have the same right to the roads as motorists do. Drivers face heavy
fines of up to $500 if they do not slow or stop for passing livestock.
• Road safety officials in Denmark have made it a legal requirement for drivers to check for
children hiding beneath the vehicle before starting the engine.
• In Moscow, it’s all about cleanliness - police impose fines on anyone with a dirty car.
• In Jasper Gates, Canada, a dumb law forbids drivers from going faster than a horse or carriage
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and simply a necessity. This public means of transportation is often
convenient when you live or work in the city centre, as you can avoid traffic jams by moving very quickly in the bus
lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. After all, though, taking the bus is just a necessary and tedious part of
life: you board the bus, pay the driver and sit down or find a place to stand. Very boring.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, long-distance buses put on films so that you have
entertainment for at least some of the journey. Naturally, local transport does not show films but drivers usually
switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear new songs and new styles of music. Therefore, taking the bus
doesn’t sound like fun but it is much more exciting than any UK bus journey.
(British Council)
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Buses in the UK are very convenient.
B. Bus journeys are different in the UK and in Latin America.
C. Bus journeys in the UK are boring.
D. Films are shown on long-distance buses in Latin America.
2. Public transport in the UK is convenient because you can avoid_________.
A. traffic accidents B. policemen C. traffic jams D. bus lanes
3. The word “tedious” in line 3 means_________.
A. not interesting B. exciting C. wonderful D. important
4. The phrasal verb “put on” in the first sentence of the second paragraph can be replaced with “_________”.
A. close B. wear C. play D. open
5. Which of the following statements is NOT MENTIONED about bus journeys in Latin America?
A. Passengers can entertain during their trip by watching films.
B. Drivers play new styles of music on the radio.
C. They are more exciting than bus trips in the UK.
15
D. They are more expensive than bus trips in the UK.
II - Read the passage and do the tasks below.
Traffic jams in Viet Nam frequently take place in big cities, such as Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City.
There is no fixed rule for the time a traffic jam to happen. But It is worst during the rush hour when everyone is in a
hurry to get to work or come back home. Apart from peak hours, the time between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and between 3
p.m. to 4 p.m. also witnesses long lines of vehicles, mainly motorbikes. When it rains, the traffic jam gets more
terrible. Taxis are extremely hard to catch or wave during the downpour.
However, the most annoying thing about the traffic jam is the way people react to it. Most road users ride their
motorbikes on the pavement rather than waiting calmly. Moreover, they constantly use their horns to hasten riders in
the front, even shouting at them from time to time.
Part 1: Choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. the causes of traffic jams in Viet Nam
B. the effects of traffic jams in Viet Nam
C. the reality of traffic jams in Viet Nam
D. the solutions to reduce traffic jams in Viet Nam
2. When is traffic congestion in Viet Nam the worst?
A. when everyone goes to work
B. between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
C. between 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
D. at the weekend
3. It’s difficult to catch a_________during the downpour.
A. bus B. taxi C. train D. motorbike
Part 2: Decide whether the statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).
1. There is a certain time for traffic congestion in Viet Nam. ❑
2. The traffic jam becomes more serious when it rains. ❑
3. To get through a traffic jam, road users usually break traffic rules. ❑

HOW TO MAKE A CARTOON
In a cartoon, instead of taking pictures of real people, the camera takes pictures of drawings. Many
drawings have to be made just to show a simple action. Each drawing is again made only slightly
different from the others. The drawings are then photographed orderly. When everything is
complete and the cartoon is shown, it also looks as though the characters are really moving.
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
ANIMATION
The theory of the animated cartoon was introduced before the invention of the cinema by half a century. When
working to create conversation pieces for Victorian shops, people discovered the principle of persistence of vision. If
drawings of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession, the human eye would perceive them as a
continuous movement.
One of the first commercially successful devices, invented by the Belgian Joseph Plateau in 1832, was the
phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created the illusion of movement when viewed in a mirror, in 1834,
William Horner invented the zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures. The Frenchman Émile Reynaud in
1876 adapted the principle into a form that could be projected before a theatrical audience. Reynaud became not only
animation’s first entrepreneur but also the first artist to give personality and warmth to his animated characters.

The Silver Glove
#The Silver Bore
Daniel Jones
If you’ve ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have
seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something amateurish out of filmmaker college. There
is some nice cinematography but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film. Great support acting from the
Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar.
#Pirates At the Speed Of Light
Angela Moore
I just love this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next
and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these evil thieves and smugglers. Chief pirate, British actor Colin
Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm
scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.

GRAMMAR : YES/NO QUESTIONS

41
Câu hỏi “yes”/ “no” hay còn gọi là câu hỏi đóng sử dụng be, have, do hoặc một động từ khiếm khuyết. Câu hỏi Yes/No
luôn bắt đầu bằng một trong những trợ động từ trên và có thể trả lời đơn giản là Yes hoặc No, hay có thể lặp lại câu
hỏi.

Lưu ý: Không thể hỏi câu hỏi Yes/No mà không dùng một trong các trợ động từ trên.
• He want a car? —> Does he want a car?
• You going to eat with us? —> Are you going to eat with us?
Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với động từ “To Be”
Dùng động từ be để hỏi về nhân dạng, hình dạng, nơi chốn và những hoạt động và tình huống ở hiện tại hoặc quá khứ.

– Nhân dạng/Hình dạng

Bạn có thể dùng be + danh từ/tính từ để hỏi về nhân dạng hoặc hình dạng của một người, một nơi chốn hoặc đồ vật
nào đó.
Ví dụ:
• Is this interesting? – No, it is not. (Cái này có thú vị không? Không.)
• Are these islands part of Vietnam? – Yes, they are. (Những hòn đảo này thuộc về Việt Nam phải không? Phải.)
• Were they happy? – Yes, they were. (Họ có vui không? Có.)
– Địa điểm

Be + cụm giới từ để hỏi về địa điểm hiện tại hoặc quá khứ.
Ví dụ:
• Are we at the border yet? – No, we’re not (Chúng ta đã tới biên giới chưa?)
• Was his apartment above a store? Yes, it was. (Căn hộ của anh ấy ở phía trên một cửa hàng phải không.)
– Hoạt động/ tình huống hiện tại

Để hỏi về một hoạt động hoặc tình huống hiện tại, dùng hiện tại tiếp diễn: Hiện tại của be + hiện tại phân từ (V-ing)
Eg:
• Am I going with you and Tom? Yes, you are. (Tôi sẽ đi với bạn và Tom à?)
• Is England adopting the euro? No , it isn’t. (Nước Anh có dùng đồng euro không?)
• Are we seeing a play tonight? Yes, we are. (Chúng ta sẽ xem kịch tối nay phải không?)
– Những hoạt động/tình huống trong quá khứ

Để hỏi về một hoạt động hay tình huống trong quá khứ, dùng quá khứ tiếp diễn: quá khứ của be + hiện tại phân từ.
Ví dụ:
• Was it raining? – Yes (it was). (Trời đã mưa à? Ừ.)
42
• Were the prisoners rebelling? – Yes (they were) (Những tù nhân đã nổi loạn à? Ừ.)
– Sự kiện trong quá khứ.

Để hỏi về một việc đã xảy ra với ai hoặc với điều gì, ta dùng thể bị động: quá khứ của be + quá khứ phân từ (V-ed
hoặc cột 3)
Ví dụ:
• Was he given a reward? Yes (he was). (Ông ấy đã nhận được giải thưởng phải không?)
• Was I chosen? No (you weren’t). (Tôi có được chọn không?)
Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với HAVE
Ví dụ:
• Has your brother left? No (he hasn’t). (Em trai cậu đã đi chưa?)
• Has the party started? Yes (it has). (Buổi tiệc đã bắt đầu chưa?)
– Có thể hỏi câu hỏi Yes/No bằng cách dùng “Had”, nhưng đó phải là tình huống rất cụ thể và phải giải thích cho một
bài học ở tương lai.
Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với “Do”
Dùng động từ do để hỏi về những sự thật/thực tế về người, nơi chốn hay vật.
Theo sau “do” luôn là chủ ngữ và động từ ở dạng nguyên mẫu không to.
Ví dụ:
• Do they smoke? No (they don’t). (Họ có hút thuốc không?)
• Did it work? No (it didn’t). (Nó có chạy không?)
• Does running hurt your knees? Yes (it does). (Chạy có làm đầu gối bạn đau không?)
Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với động từ khuyết thiếu
Dùng động từ khiếm khuyết để hỏi thông tin về những khả năng hoặc những việc chưa chắc chắn. Sau động từ khuyết
thiếu là các động từ nguyên thể không “to”.
Ví dụ:
• Can we stay? Yes (we can). (Chúng ta có thể ở lại không?)
• Should they stop? No (they shouldn’t). (Có có nên dừng lại không?)
• Would you go with me? Yes (I would). (Anh sẽ đi cùng tôi chứ?)
Chú ý: Khi hỏi câu hỏi với do hoặc động từ khiếm khuyết, động từ chính phải ở dạng nguyên mẫu không to.

Incorrect Correct

Do you to drink coffee? Do you drink coffee?

Does she to work here? Does she work here?

Can I to go with you? Can I go with you?

Should we to email her? Should we email her?

43
Tuy nhiên, nếu có hai động từ ở dạng nguyên mẫu sau do, thì động từ thứ hai phải có giới từ to.

Incorrect Correct

Do you want drink coffee? Do you want to drink coffee?

Does she like work here? Does she like to work here?

Did you need go home? Did you need to go home?

Chú ý là có nhiều cách để trả lời câu hỏi Yes/No, đặc biệt là trả lời bằng các dạng rút gọn.
Ví dụ:
Is he busy?
• No he isn’t
• No, he’s not.
• No, he isn’t busy.
• No, he’s not busy.
• No, he is not busy.
Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh dạng câu hỏi đuôi
Câu hỏi đuôi là câu hỏi ngắn được thêm vào cuối câu trần thuật. Chúng được dùng để kiểm chứng điều gì đó có đúng
hay không, thường được dịch là ‘phải không’

Cấu trúc: S + V + O, trợ động từ + not + S?

Câu hỏi đuôi được chia làm hai thành phần tách biệt nhau bởi dấu phẩy (,) theo quy tắc sau:

+ Sử dụng trợ động từ giống như ở mệnh đề chính để làm phần đuôi câu hỏi. Nếu trong mệnh đề chính không có trợ
động từ, ta dùng do/ does/ did thay thế.

+ Thì của động từ ở đuôi phải chia theo thì của động từ ở mệnh đề chính.

+ Đại từ ở phần đuôi để ở dạng đại từ nhân xưng chủ ngữ (I, we, you, they, he, she, it)
Ví dụ:
• You like reading books, don’t you? (Cậu thích đọc sách, phải không?)
44
• She often goes shopping in this supermarket, doesn’t she? (Cô ấy thường đi mua sắm ở siêu thị này, phải không?)
• They went out together last night, didn’t they? (Tối qua họ đi chơi cùng nhau, phải không?)
+ Nếu mệnh đề chính ở khẳng định thì phần đuôi ở phủ định và ngược lại.
Ví dụ:
Tom hasn’t got a car, has he? (Tom không có ô tô phải không?)

+ Chủ ngữ là các đại từ bất định chỉ người (everyone / everybody / someone / somebody / anyone / anybody / noone
/
nobody, none, neither…) phần đuôi để là ‘they’
Ví dụ:
Someone has broken your vase, hasn’t they? (Ai đó đã làm vỡ lọ hoa của cậu phải không?)

+ Chủ ngữ là các đại từ bất định chỉ vật (something/ everything/ anything, nothing) phần đuôi để là ‘it’
Ví dụ:
Nothing is impossible, isn’t it? (Không gì là không thể, phải không?)

+ Nếu chủ ngữ trong mệnh đề chính ở dạng phủ định (no one, nobody, nothing) hoặc trong mệnh đề chính có chứa
trạng từ phủ định (never, rarely, seldom, occasionally,…) phần đuôi để ở dạng khẳng định.
Ví dụ:
• No one loves me, do they? (Chẳng có ai yêu tôi cả, phải không?)
• They never go swimming, do they? (Họ chẳng bao giờ đi bơi phải không?)
Các trường hợp đặc biệt của câu hỏi đuôi:
Cấu trúc đặc biệt:

S + used to + V, didn’t + S?
S + had better + V, hadn’t + S?
S + would rather + V, wouldn’t + S?

+ Với mệnh đề chính I’m… đuôi là aren’t I?


VD: I’m crazy, aren’t I?

+ Câu mệnh lệnh là đuôi ‘will you?’


VD: Close the door, will you?

45
+ Với Let:
Rủ ai cùng làm gì: Let’s go to the cinema, shall we?
Xin phép làm gì: Let me use your dictionary, will you?
Đề nghị giúp ai làm gì: Let me help you cook dinner, may I?

Nếu câu ở mệnh đề chính có chứa MUST

– MUST chỉ sự cần thiết thì phần hỏi đuôi dùng NEEDN’T.
Ví dụ:
I must work a lot to meet the deadline, needn’t I? (Tôi phải làm việc thật nhiều để kịp hạn nộp, đúng không?)
– MUST chỉ sự cấm đoán nên phần hỏi đuôi ta phải dùng MUST (+ NOT).
Ví dụ:
• They must come home late, mustn’t they? (Họ không được về nhà muộn, đúng không nhỉ?)
• He mustn’t date with her, must he? (Anh ta không được hẹn hò với cô ấy phải không?)
– MUST chỉ sự dự đoán ở hiện tại: tùy vào động từ theo sau MUST mà ta chia động từ ở phần hỏi đuôi cho phù hợp.
Ví dụ:
• He must come early, doesn’t he? (Chắc là anh ta đến sớm đấy nhỉ?)
• The child must be very good, is he? (Thằng bé chắc là ngoan lắm đấy nhỉ?)
Nếu câu ở mệnh đề chính là câu cảm thán

(WHAT A/ AN…, HOW…, SUCH A/ AN…) thì danh từ trong câu cảm thán sẽ là chủ ngữ chính của câu, từ đó ta sẽ
biến đổi danh từ sang đại từ thích hợp để làm chủ ngữ trong phần hỏi đuôi.
Ví dụ:
• What a lovely kitten, isn’t it? (Con mèo kia đáng yêu quá, phải không nào?)
• How a handsome boy, isn’t he? (Anh ta đẹp trai, đúng không?)
Nếu câu ở mệnh đề chính có chứa HAD BETTER hoặc WOULD RATHER

Nếu câu ở mệnh đề chính có chứa HAD BETTER hoặc WOULD RATHER, ta xem HAD, WOULD là trợ động từ và
chia phần hỏi đuôi như bình thường.
Ví dụ:
• You had better go to school early, hadn’t you? (Con nên đi học sớm, đúng không nào?)
• You hadn’t better stay up late, had you? (Cậu không nên thức khuya, phải không nhỉ?)
• They’d rather play video games, wouldn’t they? (Họ thích chơi điện tử hơn, đúng không?)
Nếu câu ở mệnh đề chính là câu điều ước thì phần hỏi đuôi sẽ dùng MAY.

46
Ví dụ:
She wishes she would become beautiful, may she? (Cô ta ước cô ta sẽ trở nên xinh đẹp, phải không nhỉ?)

Nếu chủ ngữ của mệnh đề chính là ONE thì phần hỏi đuôi sẽ có chủ ngữ là ONE/YOU.
Ví dụ:
One can play this song, can’t you? (Một bạn nào đó có thể chơi bài này, đúng không?)
Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng anh dạng câu hỏi phức
Câu hỏi phức gồm hai thành phần được nối với nhau bằng một từ nghi vấn.

S + V + Question word (Từ hỏi) + S + V


Ví dụ:
• Alex still can’t figure out why his teacher gave his bad marks last week. (Alex vẫn chưa thể lý giải tại sao giáo viên
của anh ấy lại cho anh ấy điểm kém vào tuần trước.)
• Luna hasn’t know where she will want to go at the weekend. (Luna chưa biết nơi cô ấy muốn đi vào cuối tuần.)
– Câu hỏi phức là một câu hỏi, áp dụng mẫu câu sau:
Trợ động từ + S + V + Question word + S + V
Ví dụ:
• Do you know what he said? (Bạn có biết anh ta đã nói gì không?)
• Could you tell me how much it cost? (Bạn có thể cho tôi biết nó trị giá bao nhiêu được không?)
– Trường hợp đặc biệt, từ hỏi là một cụm từ như: Whose + noun, How many, How much, How long, How often, What
time, What kind,..
Ví dụ:
• How often do you visit your parents? (Bạn có thường về thăm bố mẹ bạn không?)
• Can you tell me how far your school is from your house? (Bạn có thể nói cho tôi biết từ nhà đến trường bạn bao xa
không?)

UK summer music festival
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and
was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 – the ticket included free milk
from the farm. Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength – in 2004 one hundred and fifty
thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to
raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris,

DO YOU KNOW?
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is natural, available and does not have
to be formed like non-renewable energy. The green energy is always there. For example, the Sun
consistently shines, water is abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year. The five types
include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal, energy from heat within the Earth; hydroelectric,
energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and finally, energy from the wind.
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun. Wind flow
patterns are changed by the earth’s terrain, bodies of water, and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy,
when “harvested” by modern wind turbines, can be used to generate electricity.
Wind turbines are available in a variety of sizes, and therefore power ratings. The largest machine has blades that
span more than the length of a football field, stands 20 building stories high, and produces enough electricity to
power 1,400 homes. A small home-sized wind machine has rotors between 8 and 25 feet in diameter and stands
upwards of 30 feet, and can supply the power needs of an all-electric home or small business, utilityscale turbines
range in size from 50 to 750 kilowatts. Single small turbines, below 50 kilowatts, are used for homes,
telecommunications dishes, or water pumping.
1. What is the reason for the existence of wind?
A. atmosphere heated unevenly B. wind flow
C. motion energy D. wind turbines
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor affecting the wind direction?
A. earth’s terrain B. bodies of water
C. vegetative cover D. the Sun
3.The word “variety” is closest in meaning with_________.
A. capacity B. popularity C. diversity D. minority
4.What is the height of the largest wind turbines?
A. as tall as a 20 story building B. between 8 and 25 feet
C. 30 feet D. 50 feet
5. A small home-sized wind machine can produce enough power for_________ .
A. 20 buildings B. a small business
C. 400 homes D. a football field
6. How much power do single small turbines generate?

79
A. about 30 kilowatts B. more than 50 kilowatts
C. about 750 kilowatts D. less than 50 kilowatts
II - Read the passage and answer the following questions.
You use energy every day. Energy is the ability to cause change. When you ride a bike, you use energy from your
body to make the bike move. Your parents use heat energy to change the food from raw to cooked.
Not all energy is used as soon as you get it. Sometimes energy is stored to be used later, stored energy can be
chemical energy stored in a battery or in your body. It can also be potential energy. Potential energy is based on the
position of the object. A soccer player standing ready to kick a ball has potential energy.
Energy of motion is also called kinetic energy. Potential energy converts, or changes into, kinetic energy when the
thing or person begins to move. When the soccer player kicks the ball, kinetic energy is at work. Energy often
changes forms. When you switch on the light, electricity converts into light. When you eat, chemical energy from
your food converts into thermal and mechanical energy that allows you to move and work.

The Automobile
Americans love automobiles. We love to drive them. We don’t want anyone telling us what kind of car to buy or how
much to drive it. Forty years ago, most Americans drove big cars that used a lot of gas. The gas shortage of the 1970s
didn’t change Americans driving habits much. What did change was the way automobiles were built. Automakers began
making cars smaller and lighter. They built smaller and more efficient engines.
In 1973, there were 102 million cars on the road. Today, there are more than 137 million cars. There are more cars
being driven more miles than ever before. Forty-eight percent of the passenger vehicles sold in 2009 were sport utility
vehicles and light trucks. With the recent fluctuations in fuel prices, however, demand for these big vehicles has
dropped, while demand for hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles has increased.
(Adapted from http://www.cleanlineenergy.com/)

Paper Manufacturing
The United States uses enormous amounts of paper every day – newspapers, books, bags, and boxes are all made of
paper. In fact, the U.S is the world’s leading producer and consumer of paper and paper products.

SKILLS
DO YOU KNOW?
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is natural, available and does not have
to be formed like non-renewable energy. The green energy is always there. For example, the Sun
consistently shines, water is abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year. The five types
include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal, energy from heat within the Earth; hydroelectric,
energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and finally, energy from the wind.
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.

100
Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun. Wind flow
patterns are changed by the earth’s terrain, bodies of water, and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy,
when “harvested” by modern wind turbines, can be used to generate electricity.
Wind turbines are available in a variety of sizes, and therefore power ratings. The largest machine has blades that
span more than the length of a football field, stands 20 building stories high, and produces enough electricity to
power 1,400 homes. A small home-sized wind machine has rotors between 8 and 25 feet in diameter and stands
upwards of 30 feet, and can supply the power needs of an all-electric home or small business, utilityscale turbines
range in size from 50 to 750 kilowatts. Single small turbines, below 50 kilowatts, are used for homes,
telecommunications dishes, or water pumping.
1. What is the reason for the existence of wind?
A. atmosphere heated unevenly B. wind flow
C. motion energy D. wind turbines
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor affecting the wind direction?
A. earth’s terrain B. bodies of water
C. vegetative cover D. the Sun
3.The word “variety” is closest in meaning with_________.
A. capacity B. popularity C. diversity D. minority
4.What is the height of the largest wind turbines?
A. as tall as a 20 story building B. between 8 and 25 feet
C. 30 feet D. 50 feet
5. A small home-sized wind machine can produce enough power for_________ .
A. 20 buildings B. a small business
C. 400 homes D. a football field
6. How much power do single small turbines generate?
A. about 30 kilowatts B. more than 50 kilowatts
C. about 750 kilowatts D. less than 50 kilowatts
II - Read the passage and answer the following questions.
You use energy every day. Energy is the ability to cause change. When you ride a bike, you use energy from your
body to make the bike move. Your parents use heat energy to change the food from raw to cooked.
Not all energy is used as soon as you get it. Sometimes energy is stored to be used later, stored energy can be
chemical energy stored in a battery or in your body. It can also be potential energy. Potential energy is based on the
position of the object. A soccer player standing ready to kick a ball has potential energy.
Energy of motion is also called kinetic energy. Potential energy converts, or changes into, kinetic energy when the
thing or person begins to move. When the soccer player kicks the ball, kinetic energy is at work. Energy often

101
changes forms. When you switch on the light, electricity converts into light. When you eat, chemical energy from
your food converts into thermal and mechanical energy that allows you to move and work.

Smart cars
One way to solve transportation problems is major cities is to make the cars much smaller and smarter. So-called “smart
cars” have been around for many years. But there are signs of progress. Many automakers, including BMW and Nissan
already offer compact electric cars. The BMW i3, already available in Europe, can brake automatically when your foot
off the accelerator, consumes no gasoline and operates for 80-100 miles per charge.
“I do believe that there is a growing opportunity for new types of vehicles specifically designed for urban areas”
Koslowski said, adding that these cars need more a “wow” factor and will have to become part of an urban area’s overall
plan for better transportation in a city, not just showy small cars for individual drivers.
