The book attempts to explain everything that leads to ‘success and how to keep failure away. Among the deciding factors in thinking big is giving up the habit of »> Bai tap Tiéng Anh 8 (Friends plus) =making excuses. Many a time, people come up with excuses or justifications which are related to health, intellect, age and luck so that they feel better about being careless or irresponsible. When failure does ‘occur, self regulated people tend not to put the blame on their misfortune. Instead, they genuinely express their gratitude towards their current situation, try to figure out what goes wrong and move forward step by step. According to Schwartz, big thinkers have a tendency to speak with a big-picture mindset. They focus on what is important and feel less worried about trivial things. They talk about their plans with uplifting language and optimism, and do the same with their counterparts. The practice of being a good listener is another element resulting in success. Big thinkers should pay attention to what people are saying, even feedback. They need to be open to novel ideas. Their intial plans will be polished as a result. 1. The Magic of Thinking Big was published in 1959 for the first time. 2. Big thinkers are likely to talk about how unlucky they are. 3. Thinking big means not seeing the wood for the trees. 4.

They say bad things about other people. @ The past few decades have been dominated by the waves of feminist movement, resulting in a major shift in public perception of women's roles. In many places, women are no longer regarded as inferior to men and responsible for taking care of their families. In the present-day society, women have taken on such new roles as political leaders, university lecturers, scientists, medical experts and so on. These emerging responsibilities require modem women to have specific qualities to raise them into the positions of power. Itis vital that females have a sense of purpose. In other words, they need to have the ability to explore what they want to do and get to know their priorities. For instance, as an enthusiastic feminist activist, Tarana Burke launched the MeToo with the express purpose of helping the victims of molestation to speak up for themselves and interrupting sexual assault wherever it happens. Moreover, having great resolve is another attribute of a self-made woman. Take Kelly Clarkson for example. Although she was born into a divorced family, her grit and determination made her rise to fame after winning the coveted title of American Idol. Last but not least, women must have a good education because it is the key to a better life in the future. According to a recent study conducted by World Bank, if developing nations want to eradicate poverty, hunger, injustice and inequality, the governments must lend their weight to girls’ education. However, women’s education in these countries has yet to receive due care and attention from policymakers. By and large, better educated women with clear purpose and great determination will be able to fuffill task from both the domestic and public domain of the world of work 1, Men used to be socially inferior to women. 2. With MeToo, Tarana Burke helped prevent the occurrence of sexual violence. 3. Kelly Clarkson is the prime example of a determined woman 4, Most developing countries have highlighted female education. 5. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Worldwide feminist movements. B. Struggle for women's new roles C. Changes in societal structures. D. Qualities of modern women. 6. Why does the author mention “political leaders, university lecturers, scientists and medical experts"? ‘A. They are proponents of the feminist movement. B. They are qualities required of modern women. C. They are new social duties of women. D. They have fought for women’s rights. Exercise 2.

Crowd power - the flashmob phenomenon Flashmobs are public performances given by groups of strangers who find out about events through social media, networking sites and text messages. Flashmobers meet at a precise time and perform a short action together when a signal is given. The performance finishes suddenly, at an arranged time and the people then move away immediately. For some people, flahmobs are about having fun. But for others, they're a way of getting together a group of people to make a political point. We asked Joel to tell us about his next flashmob event Joel is a 19-year-old Canadian and he's a strong advocate of recycling. ‘On Saturday, I'm organizing a flashmob event to promote recycling. It starts at ten in the moming. How will we organize the event? Probably through Twitter, Facebook and other websites. According to the weather forecasts, it's going to be, really hot on Saturday, so I hope that lots of people will be there. We're going to leave some rubbish near a recycling bin and then wait in the park. | hope we'll look like ordinary people, enjoying a day out. But everyone's going to start clapping and cheering as soon as someone picks up the rubbish, and puts it in the recycling bin. Some people may not understand what we're doing, but | think that it will be fun. Flashmobbing is possible because of the way that people continually share information around the world now.

Freegans against supermarket waste Itis the World Day on 46th October, so the local freegan group is organizing protest actions against food waste. Who are we?

We get most of our food from supermarket waste bins because we want to draw attention to this unacceptable food waste scandal The facts Over one third of all food supplies end up as waste and much of this waste occurs before food reaches the shops. Supermarkets can force farmers to throw away up to 40% of their crops if they are imperfect - not all the same size or not looking nice. A UK survey has shown that each year our shops waste over six million tonnes of food and a lot of it is perfectly safe to eat, including: + 48 million pots of yoghurt + 4.6 million apples + 26billion slices of bread What we want We aren't against supermarkets; we just want them to change their insensitive attitude and reduce all this, unnecessary waste.
