Unlike life in the countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is modern
and complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in the hope of having a better life for them
and their children. The inhabitants in the city work as secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government workers,
factory workers and even street vendors or construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially someone with low income, to work harder or to take a
part-time job. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting up in the early morning to do exercise
in public parks, preparing for a full day of working and studying, then travelling along crowed boulevards or
narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home after a busy day. They usually live in a large
house, or high-rise apartment blocks or even in a small rental room equipped with modern facilities like the
Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and modernization as well as global integration have
big impact on lifestyle in the cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothes. The “Ao dai” –
Vietnamese traditional clothes are no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women’s daily life. Instead, jeans,
T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.

We need to meet our nutritional needs, but people often make their food choices for reasons other than
nutrition. The availability of foods and their cost, the taste and appearance of foods, personal food likes and
dislikes, convenience, religious and cultural practices and traditions, health and medical conditions, etc. are
reasons why people eat for foods that they eat.
The foods in people’s diets around the world are very different from each other, but all good diets must be
composed of a variety of different foods that provide all of the food energy and other nutrients in the amounts
needed. For most people, a good meal will be based on a starchy food, sometimes referred to as a “staple” food,
as it forms the basis or main portion of the meal, and a variety of other foods (side dishes) that provide the
additional protein, vitamins and minerals needed for a good, healthy diet.
Staple foods are usually starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, bread, couscous, maize (corn), potatoes, and
foods made from wheat, rice, rye, barley or oats. The other foods eaten with the meal should include generous
amounts of vegetables and fruits; good amounts of legumes; smaller amounts of meat, poultry, eggs or fish and
milk and milk products such as cheese and yoghurt. The greater the variety of side dishes served with the staple
food, the greater the chance that all the needed nutrients are in the meal.
1.Which is NOT true about a healthy diet?
A. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. B. Limit consumption of milk and dairy products
C. Eat a variety of foods in proper amounts. D. Make starchy foods the basic of most meals.

ĐỌC DÀI 16 FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON

Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky.
And others thought it was a big ball of cheese. The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was
really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there. On July 20, 1969 that
dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin
Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon was covered with dust. The dust was so thick that the
men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon.
And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off. The two men walked
on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back.
They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon
landing craft to begin their long trip back to the earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the
moon. They left the machines they had set up and they left footprints that may last forever.

Education is another area of social life in which infomation technology is changing the way we communicate.
Today’s college students may not simply sit in a lecture or library to learn about their field. Through their
computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences and consider
the following scenario of the future fo education made possible through developments in information
technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory.
Yet, some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction
from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a
minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at
times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other
countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically
monitor the number of hours a week each student studies online as well as that students’ learning materials and
assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teacher. The software can then identify the best
learning activities and condition for each individual studen and generate similar activities. It can also identify
areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students’ needs.

Young people in school today will be joining the workforce tomorrow. But are they being prepared for success
in the 21st-century work environment? When asked if students are missing skills for the workforce, we heard a
resounding ‘yes.’ Students today learn academic core subjects, which are useful. But they aren’t gaining all the
knowledge they need to seamlessly integrate into the office environment.
For instance, not all students have the right computer skills. “As technology has become pervasive in the
classroom and the workplace, solid technology skills are essential for every student. Teaching digital literacy
skills ultimately falls upon educators. Schools need to go beyond the ‘three R’s’ to improve college and career
readiness with technical skills,” said Ray Kelly, CEO, Certiport, a certification testing company
Beyond that, students need to be ready to meet specific employer needs. “Too often, high school students
do not demonstrate workplace habits that employers prioritize, including reliability, punctuality, customer
service and high-quality task completion,” said Andrew Rothstein, Chief Academic Officer of the National
Academy Foundation. “There are also frequent issues with written and presentation skills that are appropriate in
a business context. Teamwork and problem solving are the new constants.”
Indeed, teamwork is a very important - and often absent - skill among students entering the workforce.
“Students need to learn how to work well with others - cooperative learning, working in groups. Students need
to be able to think out of the box and be creative. They need to find different ways to offer solutions,” said
Marilyn Curtain-Phillips, a high school math teacher and college professor.

Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) aired a live
programme featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May 2015.
Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named Ho Khanh in
1991, and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, led by Howard Limbert. The cave
was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain.
It contains some of the tallest known stalagmites in the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200
metres wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an entire street
inside them. Son Doong Cave is recognised as the largest cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave Research
Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).
In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are now required to
access the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 permits were issued for the 2015 season,
which runs from February to August. After August, heavy rains cause river levels to rise and make the cave
largely inaccessible.

From the 20th to the 21th century, there have been significant changes in the majority of countries around the
world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a century ago.
Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in Viet Nam that are similar to the way of life
of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past mainly
worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in this sector of the economy.
These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in manufacturing and tourism than in the
rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different
country. While agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are
accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept many of the
characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in the past. This is
best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover, the determination of the people of Viet Nam has
not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the development of their country.
To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important similarities.
Although Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always will be, the friendly
welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest structure humans have ever put into space. This gigantic
satellite is used both as a laboratory for new technologies and an observation platform for astronomical,
environmental and geological research. It is a permanently occupied outpost in outer space and it is considered
to be an important stepping-stone for further space exploration.
The space station flies at an average altitude of 400 kilometers above the Earth and it circles the globe
every 90 minutes at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour, which means that in just one day, the station
travels about the distance it would take from Earth to the moon and back. It also means that astronauts on board
the ISS get to see a sunrise every one and a half hour.
Five different space agencies representing 15 countries built the International Space Station for no less than
100 billion dollars. The primary partners on the project are NASA, Russia’s Roscosmos State Corporation for
Space Activities, the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency.
The International Space Station was taken into space piece-by-piece, which means that consists of modules and
connecting nodes that contain living quarters and laboratories powered by solar panels. The first module, the
Russia Zarya, was launched in 1998. Since then, a number of different modules have been added, extending the
ISS one piece at a time. The space station spans the area of a U.S. football field, and weighs 391,000 kilograms.
The complex now has more living space than a conventional five-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms and
gym facilities and a 360-degree bay window. Astronauts have also compared the space station’s living space to
the cabin of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
1.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. General information about the ISS B. The launch and structure of the ISS C. The origin of the ISS
D. The functions of the ISS
2.In one day the station travels __________.
A. less than the distance it would take from Earth to the moon B. twice the distance it would take from
Earth to the moon
C. exactly the distance it would take from Earth to the moon D. approximately the distance it would take from
Earth to the moon

English was originally the language of England, and soon it has become the primary or secondary language of
many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and India. Nowadays, it is the most
international language in the world. There an several factors that make the English language essential to
communication in our current time.
First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who come from different
countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a common English to communicate.

of websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other languages often give you the option to
translate the site. It is the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books are written in English than
in any other language, and no matter where in the world you are, you will find some of these books and
newspapers available.

the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide you want to learn, there
are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good understanding and communication in

A MISSION TO MARS
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is
an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the
Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen
people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living
the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to
get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to deal with
that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the
earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time
communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking.
There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable
score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can
say there is a possibility that it could happen.

The Complex of Hue Monuments is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in the city of Hue in central

Mon Gate of the Imperial City which once was exclusively used by the royal family and their servants and
soldiers, the tomb of Emperor Minh Mang as well as the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. In fact, many of the
monuments surrounding the royal buildings were constructed in the early 19th century and were modeled after
Beijing's Forbidden City. The wall that surrounds the citadel is six metres high and two and a half kilometres
long.

Learning a new language is always an excellent idea. It provides you incredible benefits that come with the
backing of science! One of the most useful languages to learn is English.
Learning a second language is one of the best ways to keep your brain active and challenged. Studies have
shown that the brain undergoes changes in electrical activity and even structure and size while learning a
foreign language that do not occur when learning any other type of task or skill. Learning another language
offers important cognitive benefits at any age, helping to keep the mind active and even reducing the risk of
mental disease and slowing mental decline later in life.
When learning English as a second language, you approach new ways to think and express yourself
through written and spoken words. Learning multiple languages can help you communicate more clearly in any
language as you learn more about how language itself works and how to use it to promote ideas and reach out
to others in a variety of social and work situations.
The world may not have a global language, but English is the default option for countless forms of
communication across the globe. That’s why one of the benefits of learning English is that it significantly
boosts your hiring potential. In addition, it can offer you educational opportunities. If you desire access to some
of the best schools like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge or MIT, then knowing English provides you an
incredible edge. It’s expected that around 2 billion people around the world will learn English over the next
decade.

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it
better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time.
You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the
language if you are with other people. At home, it is always possible to speak Vietnamese if you want to and the
learning is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big
changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to
achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher, I think you can learn in a more concentrated
way than being in Britain without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some
time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being at home is the only viable option. The
most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in
class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
1. What is probably the topic of the passage?
A. The best way to learn English B. How many people learn English

3. What is one of the advantages of staying at home to learn English?
A. You have to work too hard to make money in Britain. B. You can concentrate on learning English

are in a hurry and worry. No greenery, no nature, no open air, no tress, no birds, no time to stand and stare. Can
city- life be pleasant?
True, the city offers its citizens many up- to- date modern comforts and facilities. One can get best
education from primary to the university level. One gets verity of books from big libraries. There are many
good education aids like cultural centers, technical schools, museums, art-galleries etc. For recreation there are

Men have played a significant role in American society as the main breadwinner, and protector of the
family. But the traditional role of men has slowly been transferred to women. Society is changing with women
going to college, and gaining jobs. It may even happen in several years' time when women are given sole
earning responsibility in American society as the main breadwinner of the family. That is due in part to women
gained working privileges equal to men in the 1970s.
Up until the 1970s, men were the traditional family breadwinners, while women stayed at home, raised
the kids, made dinner every night, cleaned the house, and ran all of the errands. Men went to work every day,
making enough money to buy a nice home, buy a new car every so often.
Once women were afforded the opportunity to work in the same jobs men once held, men's more
traditional foothold in the workplace was loosened. Women were given bigger jobs with more responsibility,
but women take jobs with major responsibly with less pay than men.
The role of men in American society is changing with more women going to college, and obtaining
careers; men are playing more untraditional roles at home.
Women are still giving birth to the kids, running errands, cleaning, making dinner. Young children, boys
as well as girls, are being raised with dad at home taking care of the kids.
Millions of families are also raising their young with mom and dad sharing all of the responsibilities.
Today's role of men in American society is more of a shared role, with a more undefined role.

A. the main breadwinner of the family B. the supporter of women C. the foothold in the family D. raising

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the assignment
and its requirement. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. It is much easier to take a
minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have libraries that are
specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and
what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3
hours for homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and may be you need some help. The first place to turn for help is
your teacher. But if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher, there may be other teachers who teach the
same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone
explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another student.
If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
1. In order to make homework less stressful, the first thing to do is _______.

Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook your own at home. Plan
out your meals with high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains which will keep you full and are a cheaper,
healthier alternative to rich proteins and more processed grains.
Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right things. Start by cutting
your portions of pricy meat and poultry. Double up on vegetables.
Vegetables are great for weight loss, as well as all-around health. They are low in calories and high in water and
fiber - two things that keep you feeling full. Save cash by shopping for those that are in season. Frozen
vegetables can be a great bargain, with just as much nutrition as fresh, since they are picked and frozen at their
peak ripeness.
You don’t need to shell out a monthly gym fee to get moving. Instead, find fun activities you enjoy for free. If
you’re just getting started with a regular exercise routine, try your beginning with daily walks: start slowly and
build up time and speed.
One of the most powerful resources you have for helping you lose weight is your social network. Find a friend
who is also trying to lose weight and agree to help each other stay motivated. One study found that when
friends participated in a group weight-loss programme together, they lost more weight than people who did the
same programme on their own.
1. The advantage of cooking at home is ………..

đọc dài 76 British teenagers sit up to 70 exams and tests before they reach their GCSEs (The General
Certificate of Secondary Education). But there are ways to ease the stress at exam time.
What a student eats and drinks in the run-up to exams can influence how clearly they think and how happy they
feel. A balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, fish and complex carbohydrates will help them
concentrate and think clearly. Too much high-fat, high-sugar and high-caffeine food and drink can make
studying harder.
Sleeping well and for long enough to feel rested, around six to eight hours for most people, will help thinking
and concentration. Students should allow half an hour or so to wind down between studying, watching TV or
using a computer and going to bed to help them get a good night's sleep. Regular exercise also helps them sleep
better. Cramming all night before an exam is usually a bad idea.
Parents should be flexible around exam time. When a child is revising all day, don't worry about household jobs
that are left undone or untidy bedrooms. If they're a bit moody they should stay calm. They can help a child to
revise by making sure they have somewhere comfortable to study.
Students should remind themselves that feeling nervous is normal. Nervousness is a typical reaction to exams.
All students will feel it. The key is to put these nerves to positive use. Being reminded of what they do know
and the time they have put into study can help them feel confident that they can reach their potential.

đọc dài 77 ROBOT TEACHERS

If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list.
However, in some cases robots already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients
might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than with a person. Could there be a
place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldom thinks so. He predicts by 2027 robots will do the main job of
transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces,
movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a
popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans
like another human can.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the
question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use
software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a
lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could
cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy
for the parts of the job humans do best.
