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

On September 2,1945, Viet Nam gained independence from France. President Ho Chi
Minh decided that the three key priorities of the new, independent government would be:
fighting against poverty, illiteracy, and invaders. His new driving philosophy for education
was “an illiterate nation is a powerless one”, and in October 1945 he issued a “Call for anti-
illiteracy”. The President’s call was a success. Within one year, 75 thousand literacy classes
were established with about 96 thousand teachers to help 2.5 million people learn to read and
write.
During the years of French resistance (1946-1954), schools operated in demilitarized
areas. They stopped teaching in French and created curriculum in Vietnamese. The
government passed an education reform in 1950 with the goal of reducing the years of general
education and concentrating on reading, writing, and calculating skills.

Viet Nam's Past Educational System
In comparison with other developing countries, Viet Nam’s population enjoys a relatively high
standard of education. In the past, Viet Nam’s educational system was affected by many cultures, of
which the Chinese and French had most significant influence.
The Imperial Academy - the first university in Viet Nam - was built in 1076 under Emperor Ly
Nhan Tong for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials. In 1252, the college
was opened to students from various backgrounds besides royal or official ones.
Before the French came, the old-type Mandarin system administered Viet Nam for
approximately 2,000 years. As the French took over the government’s administration, it was
converted from a Confucian system into a Western-oriented one.
In order to participate in the civil service under the French rule, the Vietnamese had to convert to
the French system and were required to know the French language. In addition, they had to have a
good facility with the new version of their language instead of the traditional Chinese characters
which had been in use for hundreds of years.
At the beginning of 1900, the whole system was revised. An educational system of three levels
was established: elementary, primary, and secondary education. In addition, the use of the national
language (Quoc Ngu) was added to the curriculum. Emphasis was placed on rote learning, class
discipline and other French educational methods. Several new schools and colleges were established.
Accordingly, French became the second language of much importance to the students.

For formal ceremonies, men would have two additional items, a long gown with slits on
either side, and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or silk. In feudal times, there
were strict dress codes. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear clothes with dyes rather than
black, brown or white. Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King. Those in purple and red
were reserved for high - ranking court officials, while dresses in blue were exclusively worn by
petty court officials. Men's dress has gradually changed along with social development.
The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to more modern-looking suits,
while business shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts and wide trousers.
Traditional costumes still exist and efforts are increasingly being made to restore traditional
festivals and entertainment which incorporate traditional costumes.
For women, the outer garment is a special silk gown called an “ao tu than” which is brown
or light brown in colour with four slits divided equally on its lower section. The second layer is a
gown in a light yellow colour and the third layer is a pink gown. When a woman wears her three
gowns, she fastens the buttons on the side, and leave those on the chest unfastened so that it
forms a shaped collar. This allows her to show the different colors on the upper part of the three
gowns. Today, on formal occasions women wear “ao dai”.

“I was a young girl in the 1960s. My friends and I used to do a lot of things which
shocked our parents. We used to do things our mothers never did. We cut our hair, we wore short
skirts, we smoked, and went dancing. We danced to the music of Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
We also got the chance to see the Beatles live at a concert once. It was amazing. My father went
fishing once a week. He always wished that I would accompany him, but fishing was not my cup
of tea. Instead my friends and I went for picnics in the surrounding area quite often. My
boyfriend had a car, a 1960 Ford Falcon, so he always picked us up and we often drove to
Brighton. We went to the pictures twice a week and I loved to watch films with Marlon Brando
and Elizabeth Taylor, especially the 'Reflections in a Golden Eye' starring both of them. I still
love to watch this film. It's my favourite. I can remember it all so clearly.”

IX. Read the text, and identify whether the statements are True (T), False (F), or Not Given (NG).
On September 2,1945, Viet Nam gained independence from France. President Ho Chi
Minh decided that the three key priorities of the new, independent government would be:
fighting against poverty, illiteracy, and invaders. His new driving philosophy for education
was “an illiterate nation is a powerless one”, and in October 1945 he issued a “Call for anti-
illiteracy”. The President’s call was a success. Within one year, 75 thousand literacy classes
were established with about 96 thousand teachers to help 2.5 million people learn to read and
write.
During the years of French resistance (1946-1954), schools operated in demilitarized
areas. They stopped teaching in French and created curriculum in Vietnamese. The
government passed an education reform in 1950 with the goal of reducing the years of general
education and concentrating on reading, writing, and calculating skills.

Viet Nam's Past Educational System
In comparison with other developing countries, Viet Nam’s population enjoys a relatively high
standard of education. In the past, Viet Nam’s educational system was affected by many cultures, of
which the Chinese and French had most significant influence.
The Imperial Academy - the first university in Viet Nam - was built in 1076 under Emperor Ly
Nhan Tong for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials. In 1252, the college
was opened to students from various backgrounds besides royal or official ones.
Before the French came, the old-type Mandarin system administered Viet Nam for
approximately 2,000 years. As the French took over the government’s administration, it was
converted from a Confucian system into a Western-oriented one.
In order to participate in the civil service under the French rule, the Vietnamese had to convert to
the French system and were required to know the French language. In addition, they had to have a
good facility with the new version of their language instead of the traditional Chinese characters
which had been in use for hundreds of years.
At the beginning of 1900, the whole system was revised. An educational system of three levels
was established: elementary, primary, and secondary education. In addition, the use of the national
language (Quoc Ngu) was added to the curriculum. Emphasis was placed on rote learning, class
discipline and other French educational methods. Several new schools and colleges were established.
Accordingly, French became the second language of much importance to the students.

VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each question.
For formal ceremonies, men would have two additional items, a long gown with slits on
either side, and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or silk. In feudal times, there
were strict dress codes. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear clothes with dyes rather than
black, brown or white. Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King. Those in purple and red
were reserved for high - ranking court officials, while dresses in blue were exclusively worn by
petty court officials. Men's dress has gradually changed along with social development.
The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to more modern-looking suits,
while business shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts and wide trousers.
Traditional costumes still exist and efforts are increasingly being made to restore traditional
festivals and entertainment which incorporate traditional costumes.
For women, the outer garment is a special silk gown called an “ao tu than” which is brown
or light brown in colour with four slits divided equally on its lower section. The second layer is a
gown in a light yellow colour and the third layer is a pink gown. When a woman wears her three
gowns, she fastens the buttons on the side, and leave those on the chest unfastened so that it
forms a shaped collar. This allows her to show the different colors on the upper part of the three
gowns. Today, on formal occasions women wear “ao dai”.

Dear Hien,
We are having an interesting time in Hoi An. The streets here are so narrow that cars
are not allowed to the center of the town. Therefore we have to walk. The houses are
very old beautiful. However, I don't like the way they do business here. It seems that
every house has a shop to sell souvenirs and other stuffs. The people are very friendly
and helpful. The food looks funny but it tastes quite nice. I haven't bought anything for
you. But I will buy you some little colourful lanterns.
See you next week.
Love,
Mathew

Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable resource
Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable resource: trees.
Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, trees are replaceable. Paper is also
biodegradable, so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded. While
45 out of every 100 tones of wood fiber used to make paper in Australia comes from waste
paper, the rest comes directly from virgin fiber from forests and plantations. By world standards
this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 per cent waste paper.
Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time,
the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the
way for even greater utilization of used fiber. As a result, industry’s use of recycled fibers is
expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fiber over the coming years.
Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the
technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in
newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also
contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example stationery
may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to be support from the community
for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to
collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants
such as staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items.
SUMMARY
From the point of view of recycling, paper has two advantages over minerals and oil
in that firstly it comes from a resource which is (1)……………. and secondly it is less
threatening to our environment when we throw it away because it
is (2)…………. Although Australia’s record in the re-use of waste paper is good, it is
still necessary to use a combination of recycled fiber and virgin to make new paper. The
paper industry has contributed positively and people have also been encouraged
by (3)……………… to collect their waste on a regular basis. One major difficulty is the
removal of ink from used paper but advances are being made in this area. However, we
need to learn to accept paper which is generally of a lower (4) ……………… than
before and to sort our waste paper by removing (5) …………….. before discarding it for
collection.

Food: Facts and Myths
1. _________________________________
True and false. Natural fruit juice is good for you, but it can be bad for your teeth. So yeas, have
some orange juice with your breakfast or lunch, but don’t drink any juice between meals. Try
water instead. Up to eight glasses of water a day is good for you, and water hasn’t got any
calories.
2. _______________________________
False. When you sleep, you don’t eat for a long time and in the morning it’s important to start
the day with a good breakfast. Without breakfast, you often feel hungry later in the morning and
start eating biscuits or chocolate. These sugary snacks are not a good idea. (If you want a healthy
snack, try some nuts or melon.)
3._________________________________________
True and false. People drink coffee when they are tired, but it isn’t very healthy so don’t have
more than two cups a day and don’t drink any coffee before you go to bed. Tea is generally good
for you, but drink it with lemon and put any milk or sugar in it! Green tea is especially healthy.
4. _________________________________________
False. Vegetarian dishes often contain a lot of cheese and oil and these can be very fattening. It’s
important to eat some vegetables every day. (Doctors say five portions of vegetables and/or
fruit). We need the vitamins and minerals, especially from green vegetables.
5. _________________________________________
False. Carrots have a lot of vitamins A and vitamin A is good for your eyes, but nobody can

False. There are good and bad diets. For example, real chocolate contains vitamins and minerals
and can help you when you are tired. But it also has a lot of sugar, so don’t eat it often. Eat a
balanced diet with some rice, pasta, bread or noodles and lots of vegetables and fruit. You also
need protein, from meat, grilled fish, cheese or nuts. And you need oil: olive oil and fish oil are
particularly good.
IX. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
From bush food to barbecues
Australia is a huge country and it has a lot of different kinds of food. In the past, the Aboriginal
people of Australia ate animals like crocodiles and some insects like the witchetty grub.
Aboriginal Australians travelled around the Australian countryside, or ‘bush’, to find food.
When the first British and Irish people moved to Australia in the 1830s, they brought sheep and
cows from Europe. They also brought traditional English and Irish recipes. Many of these
recipes, like fish and chips and meat pies, are still popular today. They also created new
Australian recipes such as the pavlova (a fruit dessert – named after a Russian dancer) and
damper (a bread cooked in the bush).
After 1945, a lot of people came to live in Australia from countries like Italy, Germany, Greece,
Thailand and India. They brought recipes with them and Australians began to eat and drink
different things. People started to drink espresso coffee and eat Mediterranean and Asian food.
A lot of modern Australians love cooking with fresh food. They often cook food on barbecues in
their gardens or on the beach. Today more people also eat Aboriginal food like kangaroo and
emu. Mark Olive, an Aboriginal chef, has a popular TV cookery programme about traditional
bush food. There are always new recipes to try in Australia!

Free and Easy
In the past, getting recipes and cooking tips was a complicated process. A person had to go to
store and buy a cook book, or get recipes from friends. Fortunately, the Internet has changed all
that. Now, if you want to find a recipe for lasagna or Cobb salad, you just search online. It
couldn’t be simpler.
Cooking blogs are a great source of information because they are free and there are so many of
them. They are also nice because they give all different kinds of ideas. The problems with blogs
is that because we don’t know who is writing them, we need to use with caution. When you are
looking at a new blog, you don’t know if the writer knows what he or she is talking about.
We’d like to introduce two popular cooking blogs. The first is called Smitten Kitchen. This
website is run by a family living in New York City. It focuses on food that doesn’t require many
ingredients. If you want to make food that is simple but wonderful, then this is the site for you. It
offers hundreds and hundreds of recipes, divided into categories. You will be amazed at how
many there are.
Wednesday Chef is another great cooking blog. It is run by a writer who lives in Berlin. This
blog also offers many recipes, along with recommendations for great restaurants in Berlin, and
advice for people who want to start their own blogs. Wednesday Chef has great pictures of its
food, as well as interesting pictures of Berlin. The blog got its name because in the past,
newspapers published their food articles on Wednesday.
There are a lot of cooking blogs on the Internet, and most of them are pretty good. Go online and

cooking.

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

Modal verbs in conditional sentences type 1

Động từ khiếm khuyết trong câu điều kiện loại 1
Loại câu điều kiện này diễn tả điều kiện có thể hoặc không thể thực hiện ở trong tương lai.
Cấu trúc của câu điều kiện loại 1:
If - clause (Mệnh đề if) Main clause (Mệnh đề chính)
If + S + V (simple present) S + will/ can/ may/ must + V-bare infinitive
Thì hiện tại được dùng trong mệnh đề if. Thì tương lai được dùng trong mệnh đề chính.
Ex: If I have the money, I will buy a big house.
I will be late for work if you don’t drive faster.
If you want to pass the exam, you must study harder.
LƯU Ý:
Thì hiện tại đơn có thể được dùng ở mệnh đề chính để diễn tả một điều kiện luôn luôn đúng.
- Trong câu điều kiện loại 1, chúng ta sử dụng thì hiện tại đơn trong mệnh đề if và will + nguyên
mẫu không “to” trong mệnh đề chính. Đây là hình thức chuẩn.
- Thay vì will, chúng ta có thể sử dụng động từ khuyết thiếu khác như can, must, may, might
hoặc should trong mệnh đề chính để diễn tả năng lực, sự cho phép, lời khuyên, khả năng, sự cần
thiết...
Ex: If you cut your finger, it will bleed, (standard form)
Nếu bạn cắt ngón tay bạn, nó sẽ chảy máu. (hình thức chuẩn)

Vietnamese Cooking Habits
The Vietnamese prefer fresh foods, and will rarely (1) choose ready-made or frozen food. Since
Vietnam is an agricultural country, there are many kinds of vegetables and fruits (2) available.
Vietnam also has a long coastal line, which means that there are many kinds of (3) seafood
available.
Vietnamese households also prefer cooking and eating at (4) home. As Vietnam is originally an
agricultural country, its culture is a community (5) one. Therefore, a family may have several (6)
generations, and meals are family affairs. (7) Although they may eat out with their friends after
work to (8) maintain those relationships, they still join their families’ meals later in the evening.
VIII. Read the passage and match the ideas to the paragraphs. Write the answer in each
blank.
A. Coffee and tea are bad for you.
B. There are “good” foods and “bad” foods.
C. Vegetarian food is always healthy.
D. Fruit juice is good for you.
E. Carrots helps you see in the dark.
F. It’s OK not to eat breakfast.
Food: Facts and Myths
1. D
True and false. Natural fruit juice is good for you, but it can be bad for your teeth. So yeas, have
some orange juice with your breakfast or lunch, but don’t drink any juice between meals. Try
water instead. Up to eight glasses of water a day is good for you, and water hasn’t got any
calories.
2. F
False. When you sleep, you don’t eat for a long time and in the morning it’s important to start
the day with a good breakfast. Without breakfast, you often feel hungry later in the morning and
start eating biscuits or chocolate. These sugary snacks are not a good idea. (If you want a healthy
snack, try some nuts or melon.)
3. A
True and false. People drink coffee when they are tired, but it isn’t very healthy so don’t have
more than two cups a day and don’t drink any coffee before you go to bed. Tea is generally good
for you, but drink it with lemon and put any milk or sugar in it! Green tea is especially healthy.
4. C
False. Vegetarian dishes often contain a lot of cheese and oil and these can be very fattening. It’s
important to eat some vegetables every day. (Doctors say five portions of vegetables and/or
fruit). We need the vitamins and minerals, especially from green vegetables.
5. E
False. Carrots have a lot of vitamins A and vitamin A is good for your eyes, but nobody can
really see in the dark!
6. B
False. There are good and bad diets. For example, real chocolate contains vitamins and minerals
and can help you when you are tired. But it also has a lot of sugar, so don’t eat it often. Eat a
balanced diet with some rice, pasta, bread or noodles and lots of vegetables and fruit. You also
need protein, from meat, grilled fish, cheese or nuts. And you need oil: olive oil and fish oil are
particularly good.
IX. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
From bush food to barbecues
Australia is a huge country and it has a lot of different kinds of food. In the past, the Aboriginal
people of Australia ate animals like crocodiles and some insects like the witchetty grub.
Aboriginal Australians travelled around the Australian countryside, or ‘bush’, to find food.
When the first British and Irish people moved to Australia in the 1830s, they brought sheep and
cows from Europe. They also brought traditional English and Irish recipes. Many of these
recipes, like fish and chips and meat pies, are still popular today. They also created new
Australian recipes such as the pavlova (a fruit dessert – named after a Russian dancer) and
damper (a bread cooked in the bush).
After 1945, a lot of people came to live in Australia from countries like Italy, Germany, Greece,
Thailand and India. They brought recipes with them and Australians began to eat and drink
different things. People started to drink espresso coffee and eat Mediterranean and Asian food.
A lot of modern Australians love cooking with fresh food. They often cook food on barbecues in
their gardens or on the beach. Today more people also eat Aboriginal food like kangaroo and
emu. Mark Olive, an Aboriginal chef, has a popular TV cookery programme about traditional
bush food. There are always new recipes to try in Australia!

Free and Easy

In the past, getting recipes and cooking tips was a complicated process. A person had to go to

advice for people who want to start their own blogs. Wednesday Chef has great pictures of its
food, as well as interesting pictures of Berlin. The blog got its name because in the past,

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

VIII. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.

Son Doong Cave in Vietnam – Good Morning America
Son Doong Cave and Swallow Cave (En Cave) were recorded and broadcast on Good
Morning America – a programme of ABC Television (USA). By being broadcast on Good
Morning America (ABC Television), Son Doong Cave would be introduced widely to
international travellers.
This is a good chance for Quang Binh tourism to promote the image of Son Doong – the
biggest cave in Vietnam – to travellers around the world. Therefore, the film crew worked in
the most favourable conditions. The programme was directly broadcast on satellite in May
2015.
The cave is a part of the underground system connecting over 150 other caves in Vietnam
near Vietnam – Lao border with many caves such as Phong Nha Cave.
Son Doong Cave is compared equally to Mount Everest in terms of attraction. The
biggest natural cave in the world is appreciated to be an interesting destination for a several-
day tour, including exploring underground rivers, caves and camping ... The overwhelming
natural landscapes inside Son Doong Cave create an attraction by majestic and magnificient
scenes. It takes months to end up a cave’s round. In addition, the condition to join tours in
Son Doong Cave is extremely high. Adventures must be in good mental and physical health
to conquer the cave. Son Doong, the biggest cave in Vietnam, along with other attractions in
Quang Binh, is an attractive destination for travelers, especially those who are fans of natural
exploration. The first exploration tour was held in early August 2013. The first tour consisted
of 6 people from the US, Russia, Australia, and Norway. They underwent 7 days and 6 nights
to explore Son Doong Cave. There are a large number of tourists registering for next tours
since then.

VII. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Travel and tourism are very important to millions of people over the world. In
every country you can find people that work in travel and tourism. Some countries need
the money from tourism to help their people survive. It is necessary for these places that
travel and tourism continue to expand and bring money to their regions.
However, travel and tourism have negative aspects. Planes, buses, boats and other
means of transportation that carry travellers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, some
people do things on a holiday they would never think of doing at home. For example,
many traveller use a lot of water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They forget to
turn off the lights or even leave televisions and air conditioning units on when they leave
the room. On top of that, it is often difficult or impossible for travellers to recycle items,
so they end up leaving large amounts of waste behind. That’s why it is important for
people to travel wisely and respect the places they visit.
There are ways you can travel and be environmentally friendly. Here are some
tips to help you:
1. Don’t throw rubbish on streets, beaches or in the countryside.
2. Don’t use too much water or electricity.
3. Taste the local and national dishes of the country.

II. Grammar: Compound nouns

Articles: a/ an and the
1. Compound nouns
A compound noun is a noun that is made with two or more words. A compound noun is
usually [noun + noun] or [adjective + noun], but there are other combinations (see below). It is
important to understand and recognize compound nouns. Each compound noun acts as a single
unit and can be modified by adjectives and other nouns.
There are three forms for compound nouns:
1. open or spaced - space between words (tennis shoe)
2. hyphenated - hyphen between words (six-pack)
3. closed or solid - no space or hyphen between words (bedroom)
Here are some examples of compound nouns:
noun + noun bus stop Is this the bus stop for the number 12
bus?
fire-fly In the tropics you can see fire-flies at

night.
football Shall we play football today?
adjective + noun full moon I always feel crazy at full moon.
blackboard Clean the blackboard please.
software I can't install this software on my PC.
verb(-ing) + noun breakfast We always eat breakfast at 8am.
washing Put the clothes in the red washing

machine machine.
swimming What a beautiful swimming pool!

pool
noun + verb(-ing) sunrise I like to get up at sunrise.
haircut You need a haircut.

train-spotting His hobby is train-spotting.
verb + preposition check-out Please remember that check-out is at

12 noon.
noun + prepositional mother-in- My mother-in-law lives with us.

phrase law
preposition + noun underworld Do you think the police accept money

from the underworld?
noun + adjective truckful We need 10 truckfuls of bricks.
Pronunciation
Compound nouns tend to have more stress on the first word. In the phrase "pink ball", both
words are equally stressed (as you know, adjectives and nouns are always stressed). In the
compound noun "golf ball", the first word is stressed more (even though both words are nouns,
and nouns are always stressed). Since "golf ball" is a compound noun we consider it as a single
noun and so it has a single main stress - on the first word. Stress is important in compound
nouns. For example, it helps us know if somebody said "a GREEN HOUSE" (a house which is
painted green) or "a GREENhouse" (a building made of glass for growing plants inside).
Plural Forms of Compound Nouns
In general we make the plural of a compound noun by adding -s to the "base word" (the most
"significant" word). Look at these examples:
singular plural
a tennis shoe three tennis shoes
one assistant headmaster five assistant headmasters
the sergeant major some sergeants major
a mother-in-law two mothers-in-law
an assistant secretary of state three assistant secretaries of state
my toothbrush our toothbrushes
a woman-doctor four women-doctors
a doctor of philosophy two doctors of philosophy

singular plural
a passerby, a passer-by two passersby, two passers-by
Note that there is some variation with words like spoonful or truckful. The old style was to say
spoonsful or trucksful for the plural. Today it is more usual to say spoonfuls or truckfuls. Both
the old style (spoonsful) and the new style (spoonfuls) are normally acceptable, but you should
be consistent in your choice. Here are some examples:
old style plural (very formal) new style plural
teaspoonful 3 teaspoonsful of sugar 3 teaspoonfuls of sugar
truckful 5 trucksful of sand 5 truckfuls of sand
bucketful 2 bucketsful of water 2 bucketfuls of water
cupful 4 cupsful of rice 4 cupfuls of rice
Some compound nouns have no obvious base word and you may need to consult a dictionary to
find the plural:
 higher-ups
 also-rans
 go-betweens
 has-beens
 good-for-nothings
 grown-ups
Note that with compound nouns made of [noun + noun] the first noun is like an adjective and
therefore does not usually take an -s. A tree that has apples has many apples, but we say
an apple tree, not apples tree; matchbox not matchesbox; toothbrush not teethbrush.
With compound nouns made of [noun + noun] the second noun takes an -s for plural. The first
noun acts like an adjective and as you know, adjectives in English are invariable. Look at these
examples:
plural compound noun

long plural form becomes → [noun + noun]
100 trees with apples 100 apple trees
1,000 cables for telephones 1,000 telephone cables
20 boxes for tools 20 tool boxes
10 stops for buses 10 bus stops

plural compound noun

long plural form becomes → [noun + noun]
4,000 wheels for cars 4,000 car wheels
2. Articles
a. Definite article: The
We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the hearer/reader
knows exactly what we are referring to.
• because there is only one:
The Pope is visiting Russia.
The moon is very bright tonight.
The Shah of Iran was deposed in 1979.
This is why we use the definite article with a superlative adjective:
He is the tallest boy in the class.
It is the oldest building in the town.
• because there is only one in that place or in those surroundings:
We live in a small village next to the church. = (the church in our village)
(the car that belongs to our
Dad, can I borrow the car? =
family)
When we stayed at my grandmother’s house we went to (the beach near my
=
the beach every day. grandmother’s house)
Look at the boy in the blue shirt over there. = (the boy I am pointing at)
• because we have already mentioned it:

A woman who fell 10 metres from High Peak was lifted to safety by a
helicopter. The woman fell while climbing.
The rescue is the latest in a series of incidents on High Peak. In January last year
two men walking on the peak were killed in a fall.
We also use the definite article:
• to say something about all the things referred to by a noun:
The wolf is not really a dangerous animal (= Wolves are not really dangerous
animals)
The kangaroo is found only in Australia (= Kangaroos are found only in
Australia)
The heart pumps blood around the body. (= Hearts pump blood around bodies)
We use the definite article in this way to talk about musical instruments:
Joe plays the piano really well.(= Joe can play any piano)
She is learning the guitar.(= She is learning to play any guitar)
• to refer to a system or service:
How long does it take on the train?

I heard it on the radio.
You should tell the police.
• With adjectives like rich, poor, elderly, unemployed to talk about groups of people:
Life can be very hard for the poor.

Son Doong Cave in Vietnam – Good Morning America
Son Doong Cave and Swallow Cave (En Cave) were recorded and broadcast on Good
Morning America – a programme of ABC Television (USA). By being broadcast on Good
Morning America (ABC Television), Son Doong Cave would be introduced widely to
international travellers.
This is a good chance for Quang Binh tourism to promote the image of Son Doong – the
biggest cave in Vietnam – to travellers around the world. Therefore, the film crew worked in
the most favourable conditions. The programme was directly broadcast on satellite in May
2015.
The cave is a part of the underground system connecting over 150 other caves in Vietnam
near Vietnam – Lao border with many caves such as Phong Nha Cave.
Son Doong Cave is compared equally to Mount Everest in terms of attraction. The
biggest natural cave in the world is appreciated to be an interesting destination for a several-
day tour, including exploring underground rivers, caves and camping ... The overwhelming
natural landscapes inside Son Doong Cave create an attraction by majestic and magnificient
scenes. It takes months to end up a cave’s round. In addition, the condition to join tours in
Son Doong Cave is extremely high. Adventures must be in good mental and physical health
to conquer the cave. Son Doong, the biggest cave in Vietnam, along with other attractions in
Quang Binh, is an attractive destination for travelers, especially those who are fans of natural
exploration. The first exploration tour was held in early August 2013. The first tour consisted
of 6 people from the US, Russia, Australia, and Norway. They underwent 7 days and 6 nights
to explore Son Doong Cave. There are a large number of tourists registering for next tours
since then.
Task 1. Identify whether the statements are true (T), or false (F).
1. Thanks to the programme of Good Morning America on ABC Television, a large number
of people around the world will know Son Doong Cave.

XI. Use the following ideas to write a paragraph of around 100 words about the
negative effects of tourism.
Negative effect: quality of life of the local community is changed
- Changes in lifestyle change
- Changes in cultural and traditional practices
- Changes in physical structure
Tourism can have some negative effects on the quality of life of the host community. First,
too many tourists can cause lifestyle changes of the local residents. For example, alternation in
local travel patterns to avoid tourist congestion and the avoidance of downtown shopping can
damage a community socially and culturally. Second, there is the problem related to culture and
custom changes. As local ethnic cultures alert to fit the needs of tourism, traditional and cultural
practices many change. Third, hotels, restaurants and shops can push tourism development into
residential areas, forcing changes on the physical structure of a community. In conclusion, the
development of tourism can cause drawbacks to the local community (113 words)

the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in
England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the

international business, banking and diplomacy.

English. Two-thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main
language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers.

English plays a very important role in my daily life. Firstly, English is a means for me to have
access to worldwide information. When I need to search for data for my homework or projects,
the information I find on the Internet is often in English. Secondly, it is about recreation. I enjoy
reading books and comics in English, listening to English songs and watching English movies
and TV shows. Last but not least, English is a useful instrument for traveling. With almost one
billion English speakers in the world, it is easy for me to communicate with other people in
different lands. In short, English is an essential part in my life.

The Importance of English in Today's World

English was originally the language of England, and soon it has become the primary or
secondary language of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada,
Australia, and India. Nowadays, it is the most international language in the world. There are
several factors that make the English language essential to communication in our current time.
First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who
come from different countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a
common language to communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many
countries, children are taught and encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the
university level, students in many countries study almost all their subjects in English in order to
make the material more accessible to international students. On the Internet, the majority of
websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other languages often give you the
option to translate the site. It is the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books
are written in English than in any other language, and no matter where in the world you are, you
will find some of these books and newspapers available.
Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the
easiest language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as
you decide you want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores.
With good understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe.
Because it is the international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assistance and help in
every part of the world. You can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find
will have English as a booking option.
36. When two people having different mother tongues meet each other, they will use______
A. their own mother tongues to communicate
B. English as a means of communication
C. the third language to communicate
D. a second language as a means of communication
37. The study material at universities is often written in English so that______
A. all international students can follow it
B. scientists can understand it easily
C. it is the dominant language in England
D. all children from many countries understand English
38. All of the following about the role of English on the Internet are true EXCEPT that _____
A. most websites are written in English
B. most programmers created websites in English
C. websites offer you the option in other languages
D. most websites have English version
39. English is believed by many to be the easiest language of the world to learn because
A. you can decide you want to learn English
B. there are thousands of bookstores available
C. it is not very difficult and confusing
D. it is easy to find resources to learn English
40. We can infer from the passage that ______ .
A. English makes you travel around the globe
B. you can use English to travel online
C. international tourists must know English
D. it is easy to get help to learn English all over the world.
VIII. Complete the conversation about the way to improve speaking skills, using the
responses (A-G) given. There are two extra ones.
A. It's much useful to learn new words in this way.
B. First, you should slow down your speaking speed.

C. Writing is one way of producing language.
D. You should practise speaking English whenever you can.
E. You can make others understand you well.
F. We also need to keep in mind the fact that communication is a two-way process.
G. In fact, it's a good way to limit our mistakes.
Nick: Phong, congratulations! You got good marks for the grammar test.
Phong: Thank vou. I can understand the grammar and read well, but speaking is rather
difficult.
Nick:
(41)____________________________________________________________________
Phong: Why should I do so?
Nick: Because you can speak more slowly and clearly. (42)
_______________________________________________________________________ __
________
_______________________________________________________________________
Phong: And we can give ourselves time to think.
TV/cA:
(43)_____________________________________________________________________
When you learn a new word, try to memorize a couple of sentences thai contain it.
Phong: We should use new words in sentences?
Nick:
(44)_____________________________________________________________________
Then don't forget to listen to what others are saying. When speaking in a foreign
language, you might be so focused on what you are saying and whether it's correct or not, that
you forget to listen to what others are saying.
Phong: Anything else, Nick?
Nick: The most important thing is to keep active all the time. (45)
______________________________________________________________________ ___

a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. The Space Station circles 220 miles above Earth.
Tito stayed on the station for a week, hanging out with astronauts and eating space food.
The latest space tourist was Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-born woman from the United States
who went to the Space Station in mid-September 2006.
How safe is space travel? Apart from the risk of crashing, space tourists have some special
things to worry about. Earth’s atmosphere protects us from dangerous radiation from the sun. Space
travelers are exposed to more of the sun’s rays. But for tourists spending only a few days or weeks in
space, the radiation probably isn’t harmful.
A bigger problem might be space sickness. Without Earth’s gravity to hold them down, visitors
to the Space Station float around inside the craft. It may look like fun on TV, but it can make first-time
space travelers dizzy and sick. Luckily, the sickness usually wears off quickly. Then space tourists can
enjoy their trip - and the amazing view of Earth.
