from the saying 'the early bird catches the worm'. And it describes
someone who likes to get up early. There are other (4) …ways……….. of
saying that as well. You can (5) …call…… someone 'an early riser' or 'a
morning person'. Which one are you, Sian? I used to be a (5)..night
owl......... and I think, (6) ……naturally…… , I'm a night owl, but I wanna
be a (7) ……morning person…….. , so I've made myself (8) …
become……….. one. How about you? Well the (9) …same…… . I like

study says
A. Điền từ vào đoạn văn và tra cách phát âm, nghĩa của những từ
được highlight
This one is from CNN:
The (1) ……headline…….. is saying that (2) …night owls….. - that's the
expression we just looked at - are at a higher (3)....risk......... of (4)
………developing……. chronic (5)....diseases....... . And that's the (6) ………
word…….. we're looking at - 'chronic'. And if we (7) ……use…….. 'chronic'
to describe an (8) …illness……… It means it's long lasting, so it doesn't
go away. For (9)...example........ , if I (10) …hurt……… my back in an (11)
……accident…….. and the pain lasts forever, I can say I have chronic
pain or a chronic backache. Yeah, and in a (12) …medical………. sense
the opposite of that is 'acute'. So, if you hurt your back, but you get
(13).... better……. after a (14).... couple…….. of weeks, that is not (15)
……chronis….. pain, that is (16) …acute…… pain. We use this word,
though, chronic, for more than just illnesses, don't we Sian? That's
right. We can use it to (17) ……describe……… situations which are ( 18)
………long………… and bad. So, for example, we can talk about chronic
unemployment, or we can say there is a chronic shortage of doctors.
Yeah, and as you said that is for bad situations and in fact, in slang,
you can use the word 'chronic' on its own just to mean bad. So, for
example, did you see that new detective drama on TV? It was chronic!
Acting was terrible. And one more thing to note about the
pronunciation, so the spelling and pronunciation are a bit tricky.
chronic:mãn tính
describe:mô tả
long lasting:lâu dài
pain lasts forever:nỗi đau kéo dài mãi mãi
chronic pain:đau mãn tính
chronic backache:đau lưng mãn tính
acute:nhọn
for example:Ví dụ
unemployment:nạn thất nghiệp
there is a chronic:có một bệnh mãn tính
terrible:kinh khủng
B. Gạch chân main idea của đoạn văn trên
The headline is saying that night owls- that's the expression we just
looked at - are at a higher risk of developing chronic diseases.
