Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or B) that best answers each of the
questions below.
One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact
with other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long, tapping
messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers feel more
comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is easier to chat on
the Internet because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones or
computer. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of parents
are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture, they also don't know
how to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a
problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more immediately engaging with the
teenager's life than parents are, and this fact makes virtual communication feels more "real" than
face-to-face communication.

UNIT 1: My name is Tuan. In my free time, I really like surfing the Internet. When I get home
from work, I turn on my computer, wait until it boots up completely, and then I go online. I still
have a dial-up connection, but I’m switching to a broadband Internet service soon. It costs more
a month, but Webpages load faster with a high-speed connection, I can upload and download
files quicker. I usually check my email first and write a few messages to family and friends. I
sometimes scan the local news headlines at my favorite news Website and read up on the latest
local and international news. This Website often provides video news clips that you can view
online. I sometimes order products or services online to save money and time instead of going to
a store and buying what I’m looking for. For example, I ordered a digital camera online the other
day and saved about $50. Whatever I do, I realize that there are problems with using the Internet
including scams, identity theft, and viruses, so I’m very careful not to give out my personal
information. Furthermore, I don’t download or open files I don’t recognize. Using the Internet
can be fun and convenient way of shopping and finding out new information, but you just need
to be careful.

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or B) that best answers each of the
questions below.
One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact
with other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long, tapping
messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers feel more
comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is easier to chat on the
Internet because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones or
computer. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of parents
are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture, they also don't know how
to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a
problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more immediately engaging with the
teenager's life than parents are, and this fact makes virtual communication feels more "real" than
face-to-face communication.

Exercise 11. Read the text and choose the correct answer.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in
reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and
quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is
safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because
there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find,
particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is
hard to find jobs.
In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the
whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young
people who have a career are better provided in the city.

Listening transcript:
I’m not sure how many people ever stop to think how wonderful four seasons are. I think
people who live in cities don’t care about the seasons. City people spend half their lives indoors
or underground. I live in the country and I love watching the seasons come and go. Every day is
different in the countryside. I love watching the crops grow in the fields. I watch them push
their way up from the ground in the spring and then grow tall in the summer sun. Just before
autumn arrives, the farmers harvest them and then winter comes. Seasons means it’s like living
in a new place every four months. Everything changes. One wonderful thing about seasons is
the seasonal food you get. There’s always something tasty that’s just come in season.

Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and

bigger gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m

interested in wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.

The only downside is transport. I have an early start for a long Journey to school in Faro
and the school bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it’s boring sometimes,
but I enjoy chatting to my friends. Fortunately, I’m learning to ride a moped. On balance,
I disagree that city life is better, as I think my village lifestyle is healthier and more relaxing.
In spite of that, some of my friends couldn’t cope with life in the country, so it comes down
to personal opinion

there. There are both advantages and disadvantages to living in the countryside.
On the one hand, life in the countryside is very (2) peaceful . There are less cars and thatmeans

Task 4. Read the passage. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).

If you had your own apple orchard, it means you have a busy, year-around job. Apple
growers schedule tasks all year long in order to have a good harvest in the fall and to get the apples to
your grocery store while they are still fresh. Early in the spring, you will be out in the orchard fertilizing
the trees and planting new trees. Maybe you are just replacing a few old trees that no longer produce
many apples, or maybe you are adding rows of trees to enlarge your orchard or to try a new variety of
apples. Soon the trees begin to show their pink and white blooms. Don’t spend too much time admiring
the flowers! You need to rent some bee hives to pollinate all of your trees. You don’t want your trees to
grow lots of tiny apples. You want to grow nice big ones, so after the blooms fade you start checking
your trees to see if the buds need to be thinned. Maybe you will thin them by hand, or maybe you will
use chemicals to do the job.
1. Apple growers always have things to do with their apple orchard. F .........................

City life has its advantages and disadvantages and so does country life; however, there
seems to be an increased interest in the country, especially among young families. If you are
thinking about moving to the country as well but are not sure if it is a good idea, it may help to
look at the benefits of country life. In the country, you are woken up by the singing of the birds
rather by the noise from the traffic. Homes in the countryside are surrounded by nature which has a
shooting effect on both the mind and the body. Due to virtual absence of cars and factories, you
will not be breathing any potentially toxic fumes in the country. Clean air is one of the main
advantages of country life over city dwelling. In the country, everyone knows everyone and people
actually say ‘hello’. Communities in the country are much smaller but they are more connected and
open. People in the country are really friendlier and are prepared to help without asking anything in
return.

With the habit of working in teams and being helpful to one other, villagers usually earn
their living from farming, raising livestock and making handicrafts. They live in a small
community with a temple or a communal cultural house where great events, such as festivals
worshipping the village god and traditional games are organized. Villagers in the Southern usually
live in houses lined up along central road and built on stilts to keep above flood waters. Along the
coastal lines, fishermen depend on the sea as a means of livelihood. In the Central of Vietnam, a
place suffering lots of natural disasters all the year round, citizens tend to be more studious and
hard-working than those in regions with favourable conditions. People in the central highlands and
the northern mountains live by growing rice, rubber trees coffee and tea as well as hunting.

GRAMMAR

Simple sentence and Compound Sentences: Câu đơn và câu phức


Câu (sentence) là một đơn vị ngữ pháp gồm một nhóm các từ, ngữ có ý nghĩa hoàn chỉnh, thường
chứa chủ ngữ và vị ngữ, bao gồm một mệnh đề chính và đôi khi là một hoặc nhiều mệnh đề phụ.
Example:
- I go to school everyday.
-Ann watches videos on YouTube.
- I love Instagram.
Unit 3: Teenagers
1. Câu đơn (Simple sentence)
Câu đơn là cấu trúc câu đơn giản nhất trong tiếng Anh, bao gồm chỉ một chủ ngữ (subject) và chỉ
một vị ngữ (predicate).
Example:
-My brother ate a sandwich.
- Tom uses Facebook to connect with friends.
+ Câu đơn có thể có nhiều hơn một chủ từ hoặc nhiều hơn một động từ, nhưng chỉ diễn đạt
một ý chính duy nhất.
Example:
-John and Mary were sad.
-Smith ate noodles and drank coffee.
Khi viết tiếng Anh, chúng ta nên hạn chế dùng một chuỗi các câu đơn liên tiếp vì điều này sẽ làm
người đọc khó chịu, trừ khi người viết có chủ ý.
- Mary and Tom are playing tennis.
- John always goes jogging early in the morning.
2. Câu ghép – Compound Sentences
Câu ghép, hay còn gọi là câu tập hợp, là câu gồm hai hay nhiều mệnh đề độc lập có liên quan về
mặt ý nghĩa, được kết nối với nhau bằng một liên từ (conjunction) hoặc bằng một dấu chấm phẩy
(semicolon).
Có 3 cách để có thể kết nối các mệnh đề độc lập thành câu ghép
∑ Sử dụng 1 liên từ nối
- I enjoy playing tennis, but my sister enjoys playing badminton.
∑ Sử dụng một trạng từ nối
- I enjoy playing tennis; however, I hate playing badminton.
∑ Sử dụng dấu chấm phẩy (;)
- I enjoy playing tennis; I hate playing badminton
2.1 Câu ghép là câu được hình thành bởi hai hay nhiều mệnh đề độc lập. Các mệnh đề này được
nối với nhau bằng liên từ (FOR, AND, NOR, BUT, OR, YET).

Example:
+ I talked and he listened.
+ She plays chess very well, and she won the first prize last year.
+ Tom is a club member, but he never participates in any of the activities.
+ You should eat less fast or you can put on weight.
+ My mother does exercise every day, so she looks very young and fit.
** Chúng ta cần phải sử dụng dấu "," trước liên từ so, còn với các liên từ and / or but thì có thể có
dấu phẩy hoặc không.
-Helen is good at English, so she wants to become an English teacher.
-John loves going to the beach, however, he never plans on learning how to swim.
-The dog is barking and (the dog is) chasing after the theft.
-Claire and Amy sing and (Claire and Amy) dance.
*Các từ nối câu thường dùng:
1. For (vì): từ chỉ nguyên nhân.
- He drinks much water, for he is thirsty.
2. And (và): nối câu bổ sung ý nghĩa cho nhau.
- I like playing the guitar and I often go to the guitar club.
3. Nor (không...cũng không):
- Students don’t do homework, nor do they learn vocabulary.
4. But (nhưng): chỉ sự mâu thuẫn
- He is handsome but he is not smart.
5. Or (hoặc) chỉ sự lựa chọn
-You should study harder, or you will not pass the next exam.
6. So (vì vậy): chỉ kết quả của hành động trước đó
- He is sick, so he doesn't go to work today.
7. Yet (nhưng):
- He is rich, yet he isn’t mean.
2.2. Dùng trạng từ nối (conjunctive adverb): However; therefore, otherwise...
Dùng trạng từ nối để nối hai mệnh đề tạo thành câu ghép tiếng Anh cũng được khá nhiều người lựa
chọn hiện nay. Các trạng từ này thường đứng sau dấu phẩy và trước dấu chấm phẩy.
Example:
+ I enjoy playing tennis; however, I hate playing badminton.
+ I should be in a hurry; otherwise, you will be late.
+ She wanted to prepare for the exam; therefore, she turned off her mobile phone. .
Example:
Mark is hard-working; therefore, he usually gets high scores on exams.
2.3. Dùng dấu chấm phẩy
Khi hai mệnh đề để tạo nên câu ghép có quan hệ gần gũi với nhau, có thể tách riêng, đứng độc lập
thì chúng ta có thể liên kết chúng bằng dấu chấm phẩy (;)
Example:
+My sister is cooking; my mother is reading newspaper.
Lưu ý: Ta hoàn toàn không được dùng dấu phẩy để nối hai mệnh đề trong câu ghép khi không có
từ nối.

GRAMMAR

Simple sentence and Compound Sentences: Câu đơn và câu phức


Câu (sentence) là một đơn vị ngữ pháp gồm một nhóm các từ, ngữ có ý nghĩa hoàn chỉnh, thường
chứa chủ ngữ và vị ngữ, bao gồm một mệnh đề chính và đôi khi là một hoặc nhiều mệnh đề phụ.
Example:
- I go to school everyday.
-Ann watches videos on YouTube.
- I love Instagram.
Unit 3: Teenagers
1. Câu đơn (Simple sentence)
Câu đơn là cấu trúc câu đơn giản nhất trong tiếng Anh, bao gồm chỉ một chủ ngữ (subject) và chỉ một
vị ngữ (predicate).
Example:
-My brother ate a sandwich.
- Tom uses Facebook to connect with friends.
+ Câu đơn có thể có nhiều hơn một chủ từ hoặc nhiều hơn một động từ, nhưng chỉ diễn đạt
một ý chính duy nhất.
Example:
-John and Mary were sad.
-Smith ate noodles and drank coffee.
Khi viết tiếng Anh, chúng ta nên hạn chế dùng một chuỗi các câu đơn liên tiếp vì điều này sẽ làm
người đọc khó chịu, trừ khi người viết có chủ ý.
- Mary and Tom are playing tennis.
- John always goes jogging early in the morning.
2. Câu ghép – Compound Sentences
Câu ghép, hay còn gọi là câu tập hợp, là câu gồm hai hay nhiều mệnh đề độc lập có liên quan về mặt
ý nghĩa, được kết nối với nhau bằng một liên từ (conjunction) hoặc bằng một dấu chấm phẩy
(semicolon).
Có 3 cách để có thể kết nối các mệnh đề độc lập thành câu ghép
∑ Sử dụng 1 liên từ nối
- I enjoy playing tennis, but my sister enjoys playing badminton.
∑ Sử dụng một trạng từ nối
- I enjoy playing tennis; however, I hate playing badminton.
∑ Sử dụng dấu chấm phẩy (;)

+ Tom is a club member, but he never participates in any of the activities.
+ You should eat less fast or you can put on weight.
+ My mother does exercise every day, so she looks very young and fit.

-John loves going to the beach, however, he never plans on learning how to swim.

2.2. Dùng trạng từ nối (conjunctive adverb): However; therefore, otherwise...
Dùng trạng từ nối để nối hai mệnh đề tạo thành câu ghép tiếng Anh cũng được khá nhiều người lựa
chọn hiện nay. Các trạng từ này thường đứng sau dấu phẩy và trước dấu chấm phẩy.
Example:
+ I enjoy playing tennis; however, I hate playing badminton.
+ I should be in a hurry; otherwise, you will be late.
+ She wanted to prepare for the exam; therefore, she turned off her mobile phone. .
Example:
Mark is hard-working; therefore, he usually gets high scores on exams.
2.3. Dùng dấu chấm phẩy
Khi hai mệnh đề để tạo nên câu ghép có quan hệ gần gũi với nhau, có thể tách riêng, đứng độc lập thì
chúng ta có thể liên kết chúng bằng dấu chấm phẩy (;)
Example:
+My sister is cooking; my mother is reading newspaper.
Lưu ý: Ta hoàn toàn không được dùng dấu phẩy để nối hai mệnh đề trong câu ghép khi không có từ
nối.

LISTENING

Task 1: Listen and decide if the statements below are true (T) or false (F).

1. Today's teenagers are growing up more slowly than previous generations……..T….


2. The researchers said today's teenagers are taking shorter to do things their parents and
grandparents did……. F…….
3. They are older when they go on their first date. ………..T…………..
4. Less teenagers are spending longer living with their parents instead of renting their own room
or apartment. ……………F…..
5. The Internet is keeping teens on social media, looking at videos or playing games instead of
living in the "real world". ….T…….

A new study says today's teenagers are growing up more slowly than previous generations. Research
from San Diego State University looked at data on teenage behaviour from the past 40 years,
between 1976 and 2016. It looked at surveys on 8 million teens from seven different countries.
Researchers said that compared to teenagers from the 70s, 80s and 90s, today's teens, "are taking
longer to engage in both the pleasures and the responsibilities of adulthood". Professor Jean Twenge
said: "The whole developmental pathway has slowed down." She said today's 18-year-olds are living
more like 15-year-olds used to live. She said teenagers are taking far fewer risks than they did before.
The researchers said today's teenagers are taking longer to do things their parents and grandparents
did. They are older when they go on their first date, less likely to have a part-time job, and are less
likely to drive. Professor Twenge said this is a, "slow life strategy". Researchers also found that more
teenagers are spending longer living with their parents instead of renting their own room or
apartment. One of the reasons for these behaviours is how much time teenagers spend online. The
Internet is keeping teens on social media, looking at videos or playing games instead of living in the
"real world". Another reason was parents who try and do too much for their children and protect
them too much.

Task1.2: Listen and fill in the blanks.

Our teenage years are probably the most __ difficult of our lives. This is the time we pass from
_______ childhood into adulthood. So many things are happening to us. Our bodies change, _ our
emotions change _____and our whole life changes. We have to learn to be independent, mature
and responsible in a few short ____ years. We have to take exams, get a job and perhaps start a
family. That must come as a bit of a __ shock for most teenagers. Part of all this new ____
independence is teenage behaviour. This is probably the most difficult part of parents’ lives. All
those moods and ____ all that sulking. It can put a strain on _______ family life. People always
think they really want babies and children; no one ever says “I want a teenager”.

Muong culture is captured in two sections: a reenactment section and a display section. The
reenactment section contains 4 Muong stilt houses that illustrate the social stratification of
feudal society. The Muong houses are differentiated by socialstatus - the “Lang” house for the
most powerful families, the “Âu” house for the mandarins, the ‘Tạo” house for ordinary people,
and the “Nõ” house for the lowest class, such as widows and orphans. Further on are display
rooms which showcase traditional Muong handicrafts such as knitted woven and embroidered
fabrics, tools for hunting and farming, and items used in festivals, traditional observances, and
religious practice. Visitor Ngo Thu Nga from Hanoi told VOV: “I am grateful for the initiative,

Black Hmong because of their predominantly black clothing. The most colourful
sub-group are the Flower Hmong, found in large numbers around Bac Ha in Lao Cai
province, who wear bright-coloured clothes with embroidery.

social classes. The Muong, Mong, Dao, Thai ethnic groups gathered under the rule of local
tribal heads. Many ethnic groups divided their population into social echelons, especially
those who lived in mountainous areas.

plants in swamped paddy fields and carried out irrigation. Others went hunting, fishing,
collecting and lived a semi-nomadic life. Each group has its own culture, diverse and special.

in swamped paddy fields and carried out irrigation. Others went hunting, fishing, collecting and
lived a semi-nomadic life. Each group has its own culture, diverse and special. Beliefs and

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each of the
questions below.
Bamboo is engraved in Vietnamese culture and daily life, providing protection, and
representing resiliency. Bamboo can be manipulated in any shape or form to assist in the simplest
or most complex of functions. Here in Vietnam, and especially in the countryside, bamboo is used
for everything- from chopsticks, to chairs, to agricultural tools, to roofs, to instruments and to
home decorations.
Bamboo is embedded even in Vietnamese dance culture! A series of bamboo sticks are set up
in a line, with people holding them in place on either side. Dancers move in and out of the sticks,
trying to time their dancing so as not to get caught between the bamboo sticks. Performers
typically dance hand in hand, slowly making their way sideways along the bamboo line and even
the best of dancers always tend to get stuck a few times, resulting in bunches of giggles and loads
of smiles.

FUNERAL CEREMONY IN VIETNAM


Traditionally, Vietnamese people believe that death is one of the most solemn
ceremonies as “The sense of the dead is that of the final”. The funeral ceremony in Vietnam
undergoes several steps. First, the body will be washed and dressed; then, a pinch of rice and
three coins are put in themouth of the body, then they lay chopstick between his teeth. After that,
the body is put on the ground with the meaning that “being born from the earth, one must return
back to the earth.” Next, he is enveloped with white cloth, and put in to the coffin. Finally, the
master of the funeral officially performs the funeral ceremony. During these days, all family
members have to wear coarse gauze turbans and tunics, and hats made of straw, or dry banana
fiber. Worshiping meals and music are offered to the dead during these days. All relatives,
neighbors and friends come to offer their condolences. The funeral procession is conducted. All
relatives, friends, and family members join the procession to accompany the dead to the burial
ground. After three days, there is a ritual of opening the grave. After 49 days, the family stops
offering meals for the dead to the altar. 100 days later, the ritual of “the end of the tears” is
celebrated. The mourning will end after three years. Nowadays, although mourning ceremonies
follow simple rituals, they keep traditional meaning and solemn ceremonies to express their
respect to the dead.

an official occasion for families of fiancé and fiancee to mark their relationship and to arrange the
wedding.
Each family needs to prepare a representative who is a family member having a happy life
and a high-ranking position in the family. On the day of the engagement, the representatives of
the two families will have some announcements about the wedding and exchange gifts. The time
of the wedding is chosen suitably based on the lunar calendar. Gifts which are put in trays are
prepared by the family of fiance a few days before the engagement ceremony. The number of
trays must be an odd number. In Vietnamese habits, odd numbers are thought to bring luck to the
couple. In the trays, there are betel leaves, areca nut fruits, wine, tea, husband wife, and sticky
rice. On the wedding day, the couple has to stay apart to avoid unlucky things. The wedding
ceremony starts in front of the ancestor altar. The master of the wedding ceremony will declare

such as anniversary, Tet holiday... to express your respect, love, appreciation or gratitude.
Gift-giving customs depend on the context. If it is a private gift for one Vietnamese partner
you should give the gift at a private occasion. If you have a gift for the whole officeor company,
you should give it after the business meeting with the whole office’s employee.
Do not wrap a gift in the black paper because this colour is unlucky and associated with
funerals in Vietnam. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects
should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship.
Vietnamese may or may not open these gifts when they are received; leave the option to them.
You will also receive gifts and should defer to your host as to whether youshould open it when
received or not. Regardless of when it is opened or what it is, profuse thanks are always
appropriate.

Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F).
The meaning of a kiss depends on where you are. A kiss means “I love you” in many
countries. In some countries, a kiss can be friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South Americans
and Europeans say hello with kisses much more often than North Americans. They also
sometimes say goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then “blowing” the kiss away. In
these regions, men at business meeting even greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, instead
of a handshake.
Then there are beliefs that kissing has a special meaning. In ancient Rome, the groom at a
wedding must kiss the bride as a legal agreement. And did your mother ever kiss your hurt
finger to make the pain stop? English used to think that kisses have magical powers.
Not everyone in the world kisses though. Eskimos couples rubbed their noses together, and
so did some African tribes and Pacific Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite their loved
one’s cheek.
These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to international travel and sharing
customs, that meaning has become universal.

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each of the
questions below.
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW
Although there various wedding styles in America, most weddings still follow certain
traditions. One of those is an old saying that dates back to 19th century England about what a
bride should wear or carry: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something
blue.”
A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and the past. Some brides wear
their mother’s wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. Something new means good luck and
hope for a happy future with her new husband. Again, this item may be the dress, but often it is
a pair of new shoes. Something borrowed such as a friend’s handkerchief a married friend’s
bridal veil means the bride has friends and family who are willing to help her. Something blue
is a symbol of trust and faith between the couple. These days, some brides are creative with this
item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or wearing a garter on the their leg. Another
tradition says that the groom should take the garter after the ceremony and throw it to the single
men. The man who catches it will be the next one to get married.

body, then they lay chopstick between his teeth. After that, the body is put on the ground with the
meaning that “being born from the earth, one must return back to the earth.” Next, he is enveloped
with white cloth, and put in to the coffin. Finally, the master of the funeral officially performs the
funeral ceremony. During these days, all family members have to wear coarse gauze turbans and
tunics, and hats made of straw, or dry banana fiber. Worshiping meals and music are offered to the
dead during these days. All relatives, neighbors and friends come to offer their condolences. The
funeral procession is conducted. All relatives, friends, and family members join the procession to
accompany the dead to the burial ground. After three days, there is a ritual of opening the grave. After
49 days, the family stops offering meals for the dead to the altar. 100 days later, the ritual of “the end

high-ranking position in the family. On the day of the engagement, the representatives of the two
families will have some announcements about the wedding and exchange gifts. The time of the
wedding is chosen suitably based on the lunar calendar. Gifts which are put in trays are prepared by
the family of fiance a few days before the engagement ceremony. The number of trays must be an
odd number. In Vietnamese habits, odd numbers are thought to bring luck to the couple. In the trays,
there are betel leaves, areca nut fruits, wine, tea, husband wife, and sticky rice. On the wedding day,

ancestor altar. The master of the wedding ceremony will declare the couple becomes a new family.

One of the most loved traditions in my family is the annual family reunion dinner. This tradition is
common in Vietnam, especially during major holidays like Tet (Lunar New Year) or important family
milestones. Every year, as the Lunar New Year approaches, our extended family members from different
parts of the country gather at our ancestral home. We all contribute to preparing the feast, bringing our
favorite dishes to share with everyone. The dinner is a joyous occasion filled with laughter, storytelling,
and exchanging of gifts. It holds a special place in our hearts because it allows us to reconnect with
relatives we may not see often, strengthening family bonds and creating cherished memories. We look
forward to this tradition each year as it reinforces our sense of belonging and unity as a family.

As for the future of this family custom, we believe it will continue to be cherished and celebrated for
generations to come. While modernization and changing lifestyles may pose challenges, the significance
of family ties and the value of this tradition remain deeply rooted in our culture. As long as we uphold the
importance of family and the spirit of togetherness, this tradition will endure, adapting to the times while
preserving its core essence. We are committed to passing down the tradition to the younger generations,
ensuring that they understand its significance and continue to embrace it with the same love and
enthusiasm as we do.

Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F).
The meaning of a kiss depends on where you are. A kiss means “I love you” in many
countries. In some countries, a kiss can be friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South Americans and
Europeans say hello with kisses much more often than North Americans. They also sometimes say
goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then “blowing” the kiss away. In these regions, men at
business meeting even greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, instead of a handshake.
Then there are beliefs that kissing has a special meaning. In ancient Rome, the groom at a
wedding must kiss the bride as a legal agreement. And did your mother ever kiss your hurt finger
to make the pain stop? English used to think that kisses have magical powers.
Not everyone in the world kisses though. Eskimos couples rubbed their noses together, and so
did some African tribes and Pacific Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite their loved one’s
cheek.
These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to international travel and sharing
customs, that meaning has become universal.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW

traditions. One of those is an old saying that dates back to 19th century England about what a
bride should wear or carry: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something
blue.”
A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and the past. Some brides wear
their mother’s wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. Something new means good luck and
hope for a happy future with her new husband. Again, this item may be the dress, but often it
is a pair of new shoes. Something borrowed such as a friend’s handkerchief a married
friend’s bridal veil means the bride has friends and family who are willing to help her.
Something blue is a symbol of trust and faith between the couple. These days, some brides
are creative with this item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or wearing a garter
on the their leg. Another tradition says that the groom should take the garter after the
ceremony and throw it to the single men. The man who catches it will be the next one to get
married.

Toronto is one of the world's most multicultural cities. Almost half of its population are
immigrants. You'll hear more than 140 languages and dialects spoken on the streets in this
“City of Neighborhoods”. It's the most populous city in Canada (more than 5 million in the
Greater Toronto Area) and the province of Ontario's economic engine. Toronto's motto is
“Diversity Our Strength”. Toronto prides itself on its wide range of cultures, languages, food
and arts.

Visit Toronto, and one of the first things you'll notice is that the city's appeal lies in its
citizens' friendliness: ask for directions, and you'll be helped. Along with its highly artistic
culture and fascinating museums that proudly display the country's history, it's clear that a
Toronto trip has something for everyone.

Although Toronto's climate is partially moderated by its Great Lakes location, it is more
extreme than Bordeaux's and Christchurch's, with somewhat hotter summers and considerably
colder winters. Summertime in Toronto is festival time. Just about every weekend, and some
weekdays, you'll find one happening. If crowds aren't your thing, avoid the Caribana festival
(July 28 through July 31), when the city greets more than one million visitors.

Task 3. Read and Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).

Technology has attracted the attention of many people in the world especially the young
generation and this has affected their lifestyle. They use electronic devices such as phones,
laptops, iPods, tablets, computers and many others. Electronic devices are so addictive that
people would rather use them for enjoyment than their necessity. Due to this addictiveness,
it has resulted in negative effects on people's life and their mental health.
Technology has both negative and positive impacts on people's lives; it just depends on
how the person uses the electronic gadget. Technology has made it easier to access
information which is very helpful for businesses or even a student. But not all technology
was made for positive purposes as due to technology, there was a development of weapons
which is a threat to the society.
We can say that addiction refers to a situation when you like a particular thing so much that
you lose control over your mind, and this is what is happening to today's world especially
the young generation. They became so addicted to the technology gadgets that all they
think about is that it has control over their mind. They spend most of their time on
electronic devices that they don't even realise.

The meaning of a kiss depends on where you are. A kiss means “I love you” in many
countries. In some countries, a kiss can be friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South
Americans and Europeans say hello with kisses much more often than North Americans.
They also sometimes say goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then “blowing” the
kiss away. In these regions, men at business meeting even greet each other with a kiss on
the cheek, instead of a handshake.
Then there are beliefs that kissing has a special meaning. In ancient Rome, the groom
at a wedding must kiss the bride as a legal agreement. And did your mother ever kiss your
hurt finger to make the pain stop? English used to think that kisses have magical powers.
Not everyone in the world kisses though. Eskimos couples rubbed their noses together,
and so did some African tribes and Pacific Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite
their loved one’s cheek.
These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to international travel and
sharing customs, that meaning has become universal.

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each
of the questions below.
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW
Although there various wedding styles in America, most weddings still follow certain
traditions. One of those is an old saying that dates back to 19th century England about
what a bride should wear or carry: “Something old, something new, something borrowed,
something blue.”
A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and the past. Some brides
wear their mother’s wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. Something new means good
luck and hope for a happy future with her new husband. Again, this item may be the dress,
but often it is a pair of new shoes. Something borrowed such as a friend’s handkerchief
a married friend’s bridal veil means the bride has friends and family who are willing to
help her. Something blue is a symbol of trust and faith between the couple. These days,
some brides are creative with this item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or
wearing a garter on the their leg. Another tradition says that the groom should take the
garter after the ceremony and throw it to the single men. The man who catches it will be
the next one to get married.

LISTENING

Task 1. Listen and fill in the blanks.

In Vietnam, the lifestyle of a tenth-grade student is marked by a modernity. Students at


this age are usually immersed in a rigorous education system that places great emphasis
on academic achievements. A typical day for a Vietnamese tenth-grader starts early, often
with a quick breakfast of local favorites like pho or banh mi, before heading to school.
The school day is filled with classes covering subjects like mathematics, literature,
science, and history, reflecting Vietnam's respect for a well-rounded education. Despite
the demanding academic schedule, students also engage in extracurricular activities such
as sports, arts, and cultural clubs, fostering a sense of camaraderie and balance. Family
plays a central role in a tenth-grader's life, with strong familial bonds and respect for
elders being deeply ingrained cultural values. In their leisure time, Vietnamese students
might be found exploring the vibrant street food scene, enjoying popular music and
entertainment, or taking part in traditional festivals that showcase the country's rich
heritage. The lifestyle of a Vietnamese tenth-grade student is thus a dynamic fusion of
academic pursuit, cultural reverence, and youthful exploration.

Task 2. Listen and decide if the statements are True (T) or False (F)

The Western lifestyle of a tenth-grade student is characterized by its diversity and


individualism. Firstly, students in Western countries often have a more flexible education
system that encourages critical thinking and creativity. This allows them to pursue a
broader range of interests and electives. Secondly, extracurricular activities play a pivotal
role, with options ranging from sports and arts to various clubs that reflect personal
passions. Thirdly, the concept of personal space and independence is prominent, as many
Western students might have part-time jobs or engage in community service to develop life
skills and contribute to society. Fourthly, the influence of technology is significant, with
students utilizing digital tools for research, communication, and learning. Lastly, family
values are still cherished, but individual aspirations are also highly valued, leading to open
discussions and decisions about career paths and future goals. Now, let's evaluate these
statements to determine if they are true or false:

1. Western education often emphasizes critical thinking and creativity over rigid structures.
(True)
2. Extracurricular activities in Western schools include sports, arts, and clubs catering to
various interests. (True)
3. Many Western students engage in part-time jobs or community service, promoting
independence and life skills. (True)
4. Technology is a significant part of education in Western countries, aiding in research and
communication. (True)
5. While family values are not important, Western students are encouraged to pursue
individual aspirations and career goals. (False)

Technology has attracted the attention of many people in the world especially the young
generation and this has affected their lifestyle. They use electronic devices such as phones,
laptops, iPods, tablets, computers and many others. Electronic devices are so addictive that
people would rather use them for enjoyment than their necessity. Due to this addictiveness,
it has resulted in negative effects on people's life and their mental health.
Technology has both negative and positive impacts on people's lives; it just depends on
how the person uses the electronic gadget. Technology has made it easier to access
information which is very helpful for businesses or even a student. But not all technology
was made for positive purposes as due to technology, there was a development of weapons
which is a threat to the society.
We can say that addiction refers to a situation when you like a particular thing so much that
you lose control over your mind, and this is what is happening to today's world especially
the young generation. They became so addicted to the technology gadgets that all they
think about is that it has control over their mind. They spend most of their time on
electronic devices that they don't even realise.

The meaning of a kiss depends on where you are. A kiss means “I love you” in many
countries. In some countries, a kiss can be friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South
Americans and Europeans say hello with kisses much more often than North Americans.
They also sometimes say goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then “blowing” the
kiss away. In these regions, men at business meeting even greet each other with a kiss on
the cheek, instead of a handshake.
Then there are beliefs that kissing has a special meaning. In ancient Rome, the groom
at a wedding must kiss the bride as a legal agreement. And did your mother ever kiss your
hurt finger to make the pain stop? English used to think that kisses have magical powers.
Not everyone in the world kisses though. Eskimos couples rubbed their noses together,
and so did some African tribes and Pacific Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite
their loved one’s cheek.
These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to international travel and
sharing customs, that meaning has become universal.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW
Although there various wedding styles in America, most weddings still follow certain
traditions. One of those is an old saying that dates back to 19th century England about
what a bride should wear or carry: “Something old, something new, something borrowed,
something blue.”
A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and the past. Some brides
wear their mother’s wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. Something new means good
luck and hope for a happy future with her new husband. Again, this item may be the dress,
but often it is a pair of new shoes. Something borrowed such as a friend’s handkerchief
a married friend’s bridal veil means the bride has friends and family who are willing to
help her. Something blue is a symbol of trust and faith between the couple. These days,
some brides are creative with this item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or
wearing a garter on the their leg. Another tradition says that the groom should take the
garter after the ceremony and throw it to the single men. The man who catches it will be
the next one to get married.

Task 1. Read the text and match the words with their definition
Teen Shopping Habits in Vietnam

We interviewed three teens about their shopping habits. Read on to find the best tips.

Thanh, 16: “I like to shop at thrift stores. It's more fun and, of course, less expensive than
buying clothes in the shopping mall. And your clothes will be unique. Also, we already have
so much trash on our planet, so I don't think we need to buy new clothes. My top tip is to pay
attention to the brands. Some brands use quality materials, and if you see them at a thrift store,
get them quickly before someone else does.”

Vân, 15: “I buy most of my clothes from a local store near my house. I can walk there in just
a few minutes. It's much easier and less crowded than at shopping malls, and the customer
service is better. The sales assistants are friendlier and always give me good advice on what to
buy.”

Ngọc, 15: “I prefer to do my shopping at shopping malls. It's easier because my parents don't
have to take me to different stores. My advice is to be careful with money. Decide how much
you can spend,and don't spend more than that. Never buy things you don't need just because
they're on sale. My least favorite clothes are always things I bought just because they were
cheap.”

Lung Phin Market is probably one of the must-visit fair in Ha Giang because it is special in
many ways.
The market only opens in the Tiger and Monkey days in a month, and is reopened after every
six days. This means if the market takes place on Tiger day this week, Monkey day is the
launching day in the next week. The fair is an occasion for 16 ethnic minorities from around
this area to gather up and have fun.
On this day, youngsters of all ages and genders dress up, travel to the fair hoping to find
themselves a good ending for their love affairs. Hmong girls dress nicely instunning floral
pattern costumes while Dao girls pick shiny pieces of jewellery so as to impress those they’re
in love with. Small kids wear new clothes and ask to go along with their parents to the fair to
enjoy the animated atmosphere.
Lung Phin fair offers a variety of local products. Mostly there are essential ones for ordinary
life such as rice, meat, and handmade garments. These are made by peoples in the most
meticulous way. Some sellers only bring to the fair a pair of chicken, a dozen of eggs or simply
several bundles of sugar cane, some mint honey, snow tea, or brocade.

won't notice the weather. Some people in the neighborhood, however, are not happy about the
changes. The owners of the small stores on Tran Phu Street think the mall will take their
business. Some of the goods in the new stores will be the same as the ones in the small shops,
but the stores in the mall will offer a wider selection of products, some at cheaper prices. The
residents and store owners have been concerned about the new mall for a few months. They
have organized a community meeting in order to discuss the situation.

Teen Shopping Habits in Vietnam

We interviewed three teens about their shopping habits. Read on to find the best tips.

Thanh, 16: “I like to shop at thrift stores. It's more fun and, of course, less expensive than
buying clothes in the shopping mall. And your clothes will be unique. Also, we already have
so much trash on our planet, so I don't think we need to buy new clothes. My top tip is to pay
attention to the brands. Some brands use quality materials, and if you see them at a thrift store,
get them quickly before someone else does.”

Vân, 15: “I buy most of my clothes from a local store near my house. I can walk there in just
a few minutes. It's much easier and less crowded than at shopping malls, and the customer
service is better. The sales assistants are friendlier and always give me good advice on what to
buy.”

Ngọc, 15: “I prefer to do my shopping at shopping malls. It's easier because my parents don't
have to take me to different stores. My advice is to be careful with money. Decide how much
you can spend,and don't spend more than that. Never buy things you don't need just because
they're on sale. My least favorite clothes are always things I bought just because they were
cheap.”
1. Where does Thanh buy her clothes?
‡ She buys her clothers at thrift stores.
2. What is Thanh’s advice for shoppers?
‡ Her advice for shoppers is to pay attention to the brands
3. Why does Van prefer a local store to shopping malls?
‡ Because it's much easier and less crowed than at shopping malls, and the customer service
is better ______________________________________

Online shopping comes with several advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, one of the key benefits
is convenience. Shoppers can browse and make purchases from the comfort of their homes, saving time and
eliminating the need to travel to physical stores. The online marketplace also provides a vast array of products,
giving consumers access to a wide variety of choices. Additionally, online shopping often offers competitive prices
and the ability to easily compare products and reviews. However, there are downsides to consider. Security
concerns, such as the risk of fraud or personal information theft, exist in the online space. Furthermore, the inability
to physically examine items before purchasing may lead to dissatisfaction if the product received does not meet
expectations. Striking a balance by practicing caution, choosing reputable websites, and being aware of potential
pitfalls is essential for a positive online shopping experience.

READING

Task 1. Read and answer the questions.

You can help protect the environment through wise shopping.


Firstly, buy sustainable products. Plastic is one of the most significant contributors to
soil and water pollution, endangering both the land and water life. Fish and animals often
eat plastic because they mistake it as food. So, when you’re buying school supplies like
folders and pens, or buying toys and home accessories, try to look for more eco-friendly
alternatives. For example, buy a reusable bottle for water instead of bottled water. It’s not
only cheaper but also much better for the environment.
Secondly, only buy what you need. Think about your purchasing habits. Do you buy too
many products? Can you do without some of the things that you often buy? Are you a
responsible consumer? Simply buying more because of tempting offers or discounts will
actually cost us and the environment more. By buying only what you need, you reduce the
amount of waste, and thus pollution. As natural resources are limited, our big consumption
can contribute to exhausting them.

1. Why is plastic not environment-friendly?

out there. If you do it with friends and family, then it means you can have fun and do something
useful at the same time. It’s an important thing to do. We have such a beautiful environment, and
rubbish spoils it.’

READING

Exercise 6: Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True(T) or False(F).
Environmental pollution is one of the impacts of human activities on the Earth. There are
four types of pollution, namely, air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.
Most of the air pollution results from the burning of fossil fuels, motor vehicles, factories,
aircraft and rockets. This can cause acid rain which damages water, soil, and plants. Air pollution
also contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Soil pollution is a result of dumping plastic or other waste in the ground and the overuse of
chemicals in growing crops. The long-term effects of soil pollution are contaminated vegetation
and the decrease of soil fertility.
Water pollution is a result of dumping pollutants such as oil and other chemicals in rivers,
which makes the water unclean or contaminated. Rubbish blockages in rivers can also cause
pollution.
The effects of water pollution include the destruction of rivers, lakes and the pollution of
groundwater, surface water and seawater.
Noise pollution is caused by loud and annoying sounds of motor vehicles, railway, aircraft
and jet engines, factory machinery and musical instruments. It can cause stress and psychological
and health problems for humans such as increased heart rate and hearing damage.
Environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly serious problem or threat that needs to
be taken care of as soon as possible, not only for the sake of the environment, but also for the
people that live in it.
(Source: Adapted from Time and date)

in river make contaminated.
39. Noise pollution can increase heart rate and damage hearing.
40. Environmental pollution needs to be taken care to protect the
environment and the people that live in it.
Exercise 7: Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best
answers each of the questions below.
Pollution is any contamination of the environment which causes harm to the
environment or the inhabitants of the environment. There are three main kinds of pollution.
Air pollution can be caused by liquids, or gases that make the air harmful to
breathe. There are two main types of air pollution: primary and secondary. Primary pollutants
enter the air directly, like smoke from factories and car exhaust. Secondary pollutants are
chemicals that mix together to pollute the air, like mixtures of emissions from vehicles and
factory smoke that change to form more dangerous pollutants in the air and sunlight.
Soil pollution can be caused by pesticides, leakage from chemical tanks, oil spills,
and other chemicals which get into the soil by dumping or accidental contamination. Soil
pollution can also cause water pollution when underground water becomes contaminated by
coming into contact with the polluted soil.
Water pollution can be caused by waste products, sewage, oil spills, and litter in
streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some scientists believe that water pollution is the largest
cause of death and disease in the world, causing about 14,000 deaths in the world each day.
It is not possible for anyone to predict the exact timing and effects of global,
pollution and global climate change brought about by pollution. There, is general agreement by
scientists that the global climate will continue to change, the intensity of weather elfects will
continue to increase, and some species of animals will become extinct.

LISTENING

Task 1: Listen and decide if the statements are True ( T) or False(F)

1. A flood is land covered by water that is not usually covered by water. ___T____

2. Unless a flood causes some kind of financial damage or loss of life to humans or livestock, it’s not considered a significant
flood. ___T__

3. Floods is the most catastrophic of natural disasters. ___F____

4. Flood often cause loss of life and cause emotional trauma. ___T____
5. Floods affect not only human life but also destroy property. ___ ____

A flood is land covered by water that is not usually covered by water. This means that any time a river,
lake, or other body of water overflows its banks, it’s technically flooding. However, most people think
of the more catastrophic types of floods, as those are the type that cause widespread damage and loss
of life. Unless a flood causes some kind of financial damage or loss of life to humans or livestock,
it’s not considered a significant flood.
Because so much of the damage inflicted by floods has long-lasting consequences, floods are among
the most catastrophic of natural disasters. Flood often results in loss of life and cause emotional
trauma for those who have gone through it. Even if people have not been directly affected by the loss
of life, losing property, houses, or land can cause physiological damage. Especially if the people
affected are unable to rebuild due to the houses being too badly damage, farm land being inundated
with salt water, or lack of resources to rebuild, many find the recovery to be more than just physical.

Task 2: Listen and complete each gap in the table with ONE or TWO word from the recording.

Welcome to our club meeting. As you know, we are organising a Go Green Weekend event
next Sunday. Before presenting the event schedule, let me briefly tell you about the teams and
activities. There will be three teams. Each team will take care of one specific task.
The Clean-up Team will be responsible for cleaning the central park in our town. They will pick
up rubbish, bottles, plastic bags, anything that's lying around. They will also water small trees
and flowers in the park.
The Donation Team will collect used items from local people. Then they will have to sort and
put them into the correct bags. This will make delivery much easier and will also help reach the
people who need these items quickly.
The Media Team will be responsible for reporting on the event. They will take photos of the
activities during the event and post them on the club's website. They will also write a report
which will summarise the results of the event and make suggestions for other club activities in
the future.

READING

Task 1. Read and answer the questions.

1. Why is plastic not environment-friendly?


(Plastic is not environment-friendly) because it pollutes soil and water.
2. What products should we look for when we buy school or home supplies?
We should look for more eco-friendly products.
3. What may make people buy more than they need?
Offers and discounts.
4. What does big consumption lead to?
Big consumption can lead to reducing/exhausting our limited natural resources
5. What does ‘eco-friendly’ mean?
It means not harmful to the ecosystem/environment.

You can help protect the environment through wise shopping.


Firstly, buy sustainable products. Plastic is one of the most significant
contributors to soil and water pollution, endangering both the land and water life.
Fish and animals often eat plastic because they mistake it as food. So, when you’re
buying school supplies like folders and pens, or buying toys and home
accessories, try to look for more eco-friendly alternatives. For example, buy a
reusable bottle for water instead of bottled water. It’s not only cheaper but also
much better for the environment.
Secondly, only buy what you need. Think about your purchasing habits. Do
you buy too many products? Can you do without some of the things that you
often buy? Are you a responsible consumer? Simply buying more because of
tempting offers or discounts will actually cost us and the environment more. By
buying only what you need, you reduce the amount of waste, and thus pollution.
As natural resources are limited, our big consumption can contribute to
exhausting them.
Task 2. Choose the correct word A, B or C for each gap to complete the following passage.
Earth Day Network's mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement

Clean Up Australia Day


Grace Rees has recently taken part in Clean Up Australia Day. She spent the day collecting drinks
containers, sweet wrappers and small pieces of paper from a beach near her home.
Grace has been involved in this event for about five years now. ‘I’ve always done it with my
school, but this year my friends and I decided to register as our own group. We think it’s good not
only to pick up the rubbish, but to bring people’s attention to the fact that there is a lot of rubbish
out there. If you do it with friends and family, then it means you can have fun and do something
useful at the same time. It’s an important thing to do. We have such a beautiful environment, and
rubbish spoils it.’
The first Clean Up Day event took place in Sydney in 1989, when Australian Ian Kiernan, who
had just sailed around the world, decided to take action for something he felt strongly about:
the amount of plastic pollution in ocean (1)____________. He was worried that the polluted seas
were affecting sea (2)____________and that this was leading to some of them becoming

Task 4. Read the passage and decide if the statements are True (T) or False (F).

1. Motor vehicles and factories are among some sources of air pollution. ___F________

3. Garbage disposal is a problem in many large cities. ______T_____

4. Everyone must cooperate to reduce pollution. _____T______


5. We can reduce pollution by recycling programmes only._____F_____

Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other
sources create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution
threatens the health of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution
when they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some areas
unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of their
garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling
up. Citizens, governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together
in different ways to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced
WRITING
recycling programmes.

READING

Exercise 6: Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True(T) or False(F).
Environmental pollution is one of the impacts of human activities on the Earth. There are
four types of pollution, namely, air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.
Most of the air pollution results from the burning of fossil fuels, motor vehicles, factories,
aircraft and rockets. This can cause acid rain which damages water, soil, and plants. Air pollution
also contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Soil pollution is a result of dumping plastic or other waste in the ground and the overuse of
chemicals in growing crops. The long-term effects of soil pollution are contaminated vegetation
and the decrease of soil fertility.
Water pollution is a result of dumping pollutants such as oil and other chemicals in rivers,
which makes the water unclean or contaminated. Rubbish blockages in rivers can also cause
pollution.
The effects of water pollution include the destruction of rivers, lakes and the pollution of
groundwater, surface water and seawater.
Noise pollution is caused by loud and annoying sounds of motor vehicles, railway, aircraft
and jet engines, factory machinery and musical instruments. It can cause stress and psychological
and health problems for humans such as increased heart rate and hearing damage.
Environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly serious problem or threat that needs to
be taken care of as soon as possible, not only for the sake of the environment, but also for the
people that live in it.

Exercise 7: Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best
answers each of the questions below.
Pollution is any contamination of the environment which causes harm to the
environment or the inhabitants of the environment. There are three main kinds of pollution.
Air pollution can be caused by liquids, or gases that make the air harmful to
breathe. There are two main types of air pollution: primary and secondary. Primary pollutants
enter the air directly, like smoke from factories and car exhaust. Secondary pollutants are
chemicals that mix together to pollute the air, like mixtures of emissions from vehicles and
factory smoke that change to form more dangerous pollutants in the air and sunlight.
Soil pollution can be caused by pesticides, leakage from chemical tanks, oil spills,
and other chemicals which get into the soil by dumping or accidental contamination. Soil
pollution can also cause water pollution when underground water becomes contaminated by
coming into contact with the polluted soil.
Water pollution can be caused by waste products, sewage, oil spills, and litter in
streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some scientists believe that water pollution is the largest
cause of death and disease in the world, causing about 14,000 deaths in the world each day.
It is not possible for anyone to predict the exact timing and effects of global,
pollution and global climate change brought about by pollution. There, is general agreement by
scientists that the global climate will continue to change, the intensity of weather elfects will
continue to increase, and some species of animals will become extinct.
