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.

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.

Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there.
However, I come from a small village and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main
reason I prefer village life is because it’s very quiet, so I always feel calm when I’m here.

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.

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.

LISTENING
Task 1: Listen and decide if the statements below are true (T) or false (F).
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.
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 ETHNIC GROUP CULTURAL SPACE MUSEUM IN HOA BINH

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

The Hmong, or Meo, who number about 800,000, are found in villages known as giao
throughout the highlands of northern Vietnam. The Hmong migrated to Vietnam from the
southern China at the beginning of the 19th century.
The Hmong minority group has been subdivided into branches classified by women’s
costume, dialect and customs. For example, the Hmong of Sa Pa are called 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.
Corn is the main staple of Hmong people, but rice is often grown on terraces watered
with the aid of irrigation. Hemp is grown to be woven into textiles, and cotton is also
cultivated in some villages. As skilled artisans, the Hmong produce a variety of items,
including handwoven indigo-dyed cloth, paper, silver jewellry, leather goods, baskets and

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.

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.

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.

Wedding custom in Viet Nam is quite complicated. Before an official wedding, a ceremony of
engagement must be held first. In Vietnamese tradition, an engagement ceremony is 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 the couple becomes a new family.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.”

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.

READING
Task 1. Read the text and match the words with their definition
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.”

‡ 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

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.

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
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.

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

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.
