Dwellers who live in urban areas in developing countries have to co-exist with many environmental
issues frequently. Typically, they are forced to get acquainted with noise (1) ____________ that stems
from heavy traffic flow, industrial buildings as well as annoying sounds of daily activities in the
neighbourhood. This can lead to serious hearing loss and negative effects on people’s mental (2)
____________. In addition, the poor sewage system and littering are the two major contributors to
directly spoiling the citizens' quality of life and urban landscapes. In the rainy season, it might be a
disaster (3) ____________ city streets are full of rubbish and water waste after pouring rain. Besides,
smoke and exhaust fumes released (4) ____________ dozens of vehicles and factories result in air
pollution in crowded residential areas. Furthermore, big cities are associated with the origin of new
types of pollution (5) ____________ as light pollution and visual pollution, banning residents’ fitness
and well-being.
Exercise 2. Read the passage, then tick True (T) or False (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 recycling programmes.
Statements T F

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

2. Air pollution doesn’t endanger people’s health in some cities.

3. Air pollution is the only problem of the environment mentioned in this passage.

4. Garbage disposal is a problem in many large cities.

5. Everyone must cooperate to reduce pollution.

Exercise 3. Read the text carefully then answer the following questions.
Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from
household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away.
What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing
simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also
reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard
to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to control the amount of water used at home. It can be conserved by taking short
showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher orwashing machine only when
fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this
waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants.
The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by
recycling and reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.
1. Pollution is caused from the following sources except ____________.
A. water in rivers B. water from households
C. wastes D. house chemicals
2. Recycling can help us ____________.
A. never cut down trees B. produce more paper products
C. place garbage bins easily D. use products again and again
3. In order to save water, we can do all of the following things except ____________.
A. fully use the washing machine
B. repair leaky faucets
C. take short showers instead of baths
D. turn the faucet off while brushing your teeth
4. Recycling helps to reduce waste because ____________.
A. plants need to develop
B. waste can be recycled and reused
C. a person can do it in his home

III. READING
Exercise 1. Read and fill in the blanks with the words given.
addicted websites bargaining shopaholics cheaper

Nowadays, Vietnamese (1) _____________ are in favour of purchasing products from e-commerce
floors due to their significant benefits. To begin with, users can easily find a wide range of products,
including electronic devices, clothes, food and drink, etc. on these shopping platforms; therefore, they
are really paradises for those who are (2) _____________ to shopping. They can spend a whale of time
looking for products, comparing their prices among multiple online stores and reading customers'
reviews to make a final decision on what they will buy. Furthermore, (3) _____________ prices are a
big advantage of buying online products. On special occasions these online markets supply compulsive
shoppers heaps of promo codes, helping them enjoy the feeling of obtaining items at reduced prices.
Another outstanding feature of e-commerce (4) _____________ attracting new buyers every day is its
convenience. With a few mouse clicks at home, customers can own everything available on e-
commerce websites. They neither hastily browse through the products nor waste their time (5)
_____________ like in the outside stores. This new way of shopping clearly satisfies frequent
shoppers' demand.
Exercise 2. Read the passage, then tick True (T) or False (F).

The whole shopping area in Vincom Mega Mall Royal City Thanh Xuan is huge, so you have countless
choices. Upon entering the Vincom Mega Mall Royal City Thanh Xuan, you will have the opportunity
to purchase furniture, electronics and home appliances on the first floor.
If you are a fashion-lover or trendsetter, just go upstairs to have a look at those cosmetics, shoes and
jewelry from the internationally-famous brands such as H&M, Adidas, Converse, Lacoste, Zara and so
on. Vinmart, the small supermarket belonging to Vingroup. is also located right there, offering you
everything you may need, easily acquired by card or cash.
All that shopping can grow an appetite, therefore, filling up your stomach in the restaurant section
afterwards would be a great idea. The food court is home to tons of eating options from unique
Vietnamese street food to typical cuisine of China, Japan, Korea, and European countries.
Statements T F

1. Vincom Mega Mall Royal City Thanh Xuan is not large.

2. Electronics and home appliances on the second floor.

3. Some intemationally-famous brands are H&M, Adidas, Converse, Lacoste,


Zara.

4. Customers can pay by card or cash.

5. The food court only serves unique Vietnamese street food.

Exercise 3. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions below.
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. Some people go shopping more
regularly than other people to browse products in shops even when they do not have much money. This
is known as window shopping and allows people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy
in the future or wait for the items to drop in price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains
while others do not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that the more
expensive the item, the better the quality, but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which
are affordable, but some people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy
the items they really want rather than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy for other people for a special
occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves
at their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy lifestyle.
People are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even
on the move. Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the high street. The
only real problem is that the item description and quality may be more different than what they hoped
for. This could mean the customer may become disappointed with the item they receive and will need
to return it at their own cost. People who go to shops to do their shopping often use self- service
payment machines. This usually saves time as the shopper does not need to join a long queue.
However, it can be frustrating when the machine has a problem and the sales assistant is not always
available to help.

There are a number of things you can do to stay safe during an earthquake. If you are indoors, you must
stay away from windows, glass, or anything that could fall, such as lighting. Then, take cover by
getting under a stable table or something hard and wait until the quake stops. Don’t attempt to run
outside during the quake because you may get badly injured. If you are outdoors during an earthquake,
stay there, and move away from buildings and street lights because they may fall upon you at any time.
And if you are in a moving vehicle during an earthquake, stop as quickly as possible and stay in the
vehicle. Avoid stopping near trees, buildings, and utility wires. Lastly, if you are trapped under debris,
try to cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Don’t keep shouting. Don’t light a match or
move around; you may kick up dust. You should tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you.

Exercise 9. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very
much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives arc lost. Most people who live near the
coast arc forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are
caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water
level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous
damage.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power
with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low-pressure storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months
and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into
the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees
and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars. Both
hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year.
Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.

Exercise 10. Read the passage and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Some Animals Can Predict Future Earthquakes
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior
might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of
the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran
around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before
the mishap.
In 1976, after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake.
Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions
of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
Statements T F

Exercise 3. Read the passage, then circle the correct answers.
Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and develop
emotional connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed, for example. This
warm and caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you want to be close to your child.
Some children with special needs - for example, children with autism and sensory sensitivities -might
find body contact difficult.
On the other hand, negative nonverbal communication - for example, a grumpy tone of voice or a
frown - when you’re doing something fun together might send the message that you don’t really want
to be there.
So matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more effective. For
example, a teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size and shape.
But when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t match, your child might believe the nonverbal - after
all, what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal communication by watching
you. For example, if you approach new people in a relaxed way, your child is more likely to do the
same.
1. A hug or a kiss sends the message that ______________.
A. I want to be loved B. I want to be near C. I want to be emotional
2. Children with autism and sensory sensitivities find it hard to ______________.
A. love B. communicate C. contact physically
3. A frown sends the message that ______________.
A. I don’t want you B. I want to be near C. I don’t really want to join
4. ______________ makes words more effective.
A. Using positive actions and body language
B. Combining verbal and nonverbal communication
C. Explaining a problem using body language
5. The best way for children to learn nonverbal messages is through ______________.
A. observation B. communication C. imitation

B. STRESS
Sentence stress (Trọng âm câu)
Trong tiếng Anh, không chỉ từ mang trọng âm, mà câu cũng có trọng âm. Trọng âm câu đóng vai trò rất
quan trọng, vì khi nói, từ mà người nói nhấn trọng âm cũng như cách đánh trọng âm vào cùng một từ
có thể làm thay đổi hoàn toàn nghĩa hàm chứa trong câu nói.
Quy tắc nhấn trọng âm câu được liệt kê trong bảng sau:
Những từ được nhấn trọng âm thì thường phát âm to, rõ ràng và chậm hơn những từ còn lại.
Nhấn trọng âm vào từ chính (từ mang nghĩa) - Content word.
Danh từ (nouns) cars, teachers
Động từ chính (main verbs) drank, looking
Tính từ (adjectives) soft, hard
Trạng từ (Adverbs, trừ trạng từ tần suất) carefully, quickly
Từ phủ định (negatives) not, never
Không nhấn trọng âm vào từchức năng - Function/Structure words.
Giới từ (prepositions) do, is
Trợ động từ (Auxiliary verbs) at, on
Liên từ (Conjunctions) and, or, but
Từ hạn định (Determiners) a, an, the
Đại từ (pronouns) I, me, him
Nhịp giữa các từ được nhấn trọng âm câu là như nhau.
E.g. She is TALKING to her PARENTS.

C. GRAMMAR
 Reported speech
Câu gián tiếp là câu thuật lại lời nói, ý nghĩ của 1 ai đó.
Khi chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang gián tiếp, cần lưu ý 2 trường hợp:

 Đổi ngôi, không lùi thời.
E.g. Emma says: “I don 't have time.”  Emma says that she doesn't have time.
Trường hợp 2: Từ trần thuật chia ở thời quá khứ
 Đổi ngôi, lùi thời, đổi trạng ngữ.
E.g. Emma said: “I don 't have time.”  Emma said that she didn’t have time.

Exercise 2. Read the passage, then circle the correct answers.
Most of us think that great ideas were the result of genius thinking. However, many of the greatest
discoveries and inventions in history began with very simple beginnings.
In the 18th century, James Watt was boiling water at home. As the water began to boil, he suddenly
noticed that the steam was pushing the lid of the kettle. From this, he created the steam engine.
In ancient Greece time, Archimedes stepped into a bathtub and felt that water was being pushed out
when he stepped in. This is how he came up with the idea of how to find the purity of gold.
In the 17th century, Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when an apple fell and hit him on the head.
This is when he realised the pulling force of the Earth - the gravity.
There are many other examples of how great ideas began with simple beginnings. What one needs to
become an inventor is careful observation and a lot of hard work.

Exercise 3. Read the passage about computers and decide if the statements are true (T) or false
(F).
Do you own a PDA - Personal Digital Assistant? Have you got a personal computer? Have you ever
used a laptop? The answer can be “Yes”. But do you know that the first computer was made about 70
years ago? It was large enough to take up a living room. It was named ENIAC - Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Calculator.
Thanks to the development of technology, computers are becoming smaller and smaller. The first
personal computer was actually introduced in the 1970s by MITS, Apple Computer and IBM. They
didn’t look exactly like now but they were surely revolutionary at the time.
Scientists are finding ways to make computers as smaller and slimmer as possible. Some of today's
computers are small enough to carry out in pockets. But technology doesn’t stop there. They will
continue to bring out smaller computers. Who knows? Maybe one day we will not need big desktops or
laptops. We may need a computer chip that is as small as a fingernail.
Statements T F
1. The first computer was made 70 years ago.
2. The ENIAC was small enough to carry around.
3. MITS, Apple Computer and IBM were the first to introduce personal
computers.
4. Today computers are not as small and slim as the previous ones.

III. READING
Exercise 1. Read the following passage and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Astronomers and other scientists constantly research and explore space. One of the most intriguing
questions they hope to answer one day is whether life exists on other planets. Despite a lot of research
in outer space, scientists have not yet been able to find evidence of life forms on any other planet other
than Earth.
Earth is very hospitable, which makes living here easy. Earth has water, which living creatures need to
survive. Earth also has an atmosphere that is neither too hot, nor too cold. Its distance from the sun
provides Earth's inhabitants with the proper amount of warmth, sunlight and energy. Although there
may be other planets that have some of Earth's hospitable features, so far scientists have not found any
with all of the features they believe necessary to sustain life. Earth remains one of a kind!
Statements T F
1. Scientists haven’t done much research to find life forms on other planets.
2. Earth’s temperate atmosphere makes it accommodative to life forms.
3. Earth’s distance from the Sun allows it to receive just enough heat.
4. No other planets have any of Earth’s life-sustaining features.
5. Earth is still the only planet with all necessary conditions for life.

SOME ANIMALS CAN PREDICT FUTURE EARTHQUAKES
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior
might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of
the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly: dogs yelped and ran
around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before
the mishap.
In 1976, after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake.
Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions
of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
1. What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior?
