III. SUMMARY OF GRAMMAR

1. TYPES OF CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

First Conditional
This conditional is used to talk about future events
that might happen. We can use the present simple
in the if-clause and use future simple (will), or
sometimes can, must, should + simple infinitive
(do) in the main clause.
For example:
 If it rains, we will have to cancel the picnic.
 If you visit Paris, you must see the Eiffel
Tower.
 You’ll pass the exam if you study harder.
 If he doesn’t call you, tell me immediately.
 If you’ve come to class, the exam is going
to be easy.
 What will you do if you have more free time?
NOTES: Unless = If … not
 I won’t go on holiday unless I save some
money.
 = I won’t go on holiday if I don’t save
some money.
Second Conditional
This conditional is used to talk about the unreal
possibility or impossible events in the present or the
future. We can use past simple or past continuous
in the if-clause and use would, could or might +
simple infinitive (do) or continuous infinitive (be
doing) in the main clause.
For example:
 If I had a million dollars, I would buy a
penthouse on Park Avenue.
 I could stop working if I won the lottery.
 If I were you, I would ask her to marry me.
 If you weren’t making so much noise, I could
concentrate.
 If it weren’t for him, I might not be talking to
you right now.
 What would you do if it were to rain later?
 She wouldn’t work for the company unless
she were well-paid.
 = She wouldn’t work for the company if she
weren’t well-paid.

V. READING COMPREHENSION
Exercise 9. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answers.
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary
education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or
government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may
also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of
the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most
impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries
have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA.
In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after
programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and
being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA universit, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a
thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp
of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic
choices. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system host more
international students than any -other country in the world!

A. independent B. state C. vocational D boarding
2. According to the text, students in the USA ..................
A. are made to take primary and secondary education in- the country
B. are not necessarily take primary and secondary education in the country
C. spend less than 12 years for primary and secondary education
D. needn't take primary and secondary education
3. The writer .................. the US. education.
A. appreciates B. underestimates C. overstates D dislikes
4. Which is true?
A. The US education is not good enough for foreign students.
B. Foreign students are not offered opportunities in the US.
C. There are not many foreign students in the US.
D. Many leaders all over the world have studied in the US.
5. What is the writer's advice?
A. International students should not invest their future education in the US.
B. International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or
high school.
C. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student can make the
right academic choices

INTERNATIONAL GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS
The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide practice that is said to have been around since the beginning of
human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would
prefer to choose the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate gift for
the hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the

13
hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because
this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as
scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the
relationship. Also, in some countries you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in others it would
be an insult if you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different cultures
have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your right hand or using both
hands, for example. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift. In
Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally accepting
it. The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help
you to avoid any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship.

Exercise 9. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answers.
THINK BEFORE YOU TOSS
Countries around the world have growing mountains of trash because people are throwing out more trash
than ever before. How did we become a throwaway society?
First of all, it is now easier to replace an item than to spend time and money to repair it. Thanks to modern
manufacturing and technology, companies are able to produce items quickly and inexpensively. Products
are plentiful and prices are low, so we would rather buy something new than repair it. Even if we did want
to repair something, many items are almost impossible to repair. These products contain many tiny,
complicated parts. Some even contain small computer chips. It’s easier to throw these items away and buy
new ones than to fix them.
Another contributing factor is our love of disposable products. As busy people, we are always looking for
ways to save time and make our lives easier. Why should we use cloth kitchen towels? It’s easier to use
paper towel once and toss it out. Companies manufacture thousands of different kinds of disposable
items: paper plates, plastic cups, cameras, and razons for shaving, to name a few. The problem is that
disposable products also contribute to our trash problem.
Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. We are addicted to buying new things. As
consumers, we want the latest clothes, the best TVs, and cellphones with the newest features. Companies
tell us to buy, buy and buy. Advertisements persuade us that newer is better. The result is that we throw
away useful possessions to make room for new ones.
