farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Moreover,
we do not take enough care of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instance, tigers are rare
in India now because we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isn't enough simply to talk about the
problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the Earth. This is too

moved to Milan but he remained in Munich. In 1895 Einstein failed an examination that

recently studied rock formations. Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave, so I suppose the trip

away, and we could go on a day excursion. However, only today have we learnt that the caves near Thay
Page 43
Pagoda are closed until after Tet. So we are visiting the ones near Huong Pagoda instead. A night camping
fire on a two day trip will be a great event in our school days! To make the trip cheap, we are bringing our
own food and sharing buses with some other classes. It is much warmer now. I believe we are going to
enjoy good weather with lots of sunshine. The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents'
permission. They may not want to let me stay the night away from home. I'll try to persuade them. That's
all for now. Give my love to your parents and sister.

Twenty years ago people realized that computers were about to become part of our daily lives. This short
period of time has seen enormous changes in business, education and public administration. Jobs which took weeks
to complete in the past are now carried out in minutes. Clerks who spent all day copying and checking calculations
are now freed from these tedious tasks. In offices, the soft hum and clicking of word processors have replaced the
clatters of typewriters. Schoolchildren have become as familiar with hardware and software as their parents used
to be with pencils and exercise books. Computerization of public records has enable government departments to
analyze the need of citizens in detail. Some of us may wonder, however, whether life has really improved as a result
of these changes. Many jobs disappeared, for example, when intelligent machines took over the work. Employers
complain that clerical staff has become dependent on calculators and cannot do simple arithmetic. There are fears
that governments haven’t done enough to ensure that personal information held on computers is really kept
secret. Certainly, many people may not be wondering whether the spread of computers has brought us as many
problems as it has solved . (tedious: boring, clatter: tiếng ồn ào, take over: đảm trách, clerical:thuộc về hành chính,
arithmetic: phép toán)

My village was never a big village, nor was it particularly successful or well-known. It was a place
where simple people worked on their land, tending citrus groves and running poultry farms. The most
exotic plantation grew avocados, and a palm tree nursery was something of an attraction. (tend: take
care of, grove: small forest, poultry: gia cầm, exotic: ngoại lai, avocado: lê tàu)
The village was established by a group of Greek immigrants in 1937 in what was then known as
British-controlled Palestine. When we first moved here, one could still hear some Greek in the street,
the local store sold original Greek delicacies and from time to time we were invited to sit on a
neighbor’s porch and share some ouzo at the end of a working day. (delicacy: đồ mỹ vị, porch: hành lang,
ouzo: rượu hồi)
In the last few years, my village has changed dramatically. Very few people work in agriculture
now; they can no longer support their families growing oranges and chickens. As a result, they must
find their income outside the village and rent out their land or sell their little family farms altogether.
Some of the land is still used for agriculture, but no longer for the family farms. Now it is the
agriculture of luxuries.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching and
learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use them effectively to improve the quality of
education; but actually they are not used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of
their out- of school hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist. There are
some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased
television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner
and later out of work. Secondly, these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate
television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television
and its usefulness in the classroom. Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their
students to become good readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time
reading books and newspapers but watching television instead. (Meanwhile : at the same time, set aside: để dành,
integrate: combine, ongoing: đang xảy ra)
B. watching television

Every day many road accidents happen in Hong Kong. Everyone, especially children must learn how to cross
the road. A simple code to remember is “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN BEFORE YOU CROSS”.
The Transport Department organizes road safety campaigns every year in order to reduce traffic accidents.
Parents and teachers should educate children on road safety. Most schools have their own School Road Safety
Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrols is a uniformed group. It recruits secondary school students as members.
Students in senior forms help fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and from school.
Page 72
When you go out alone, however, what is the best way to cross the road? First, you must find a safe place to
cross. Of course, it is safest to be directed by a policeman or a traffic warden. Roads are dangerous. However, if
everyone takes care when crossing the road, there will be fewer traffic accidents. Our transport system will then
become safer and more efficient.

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things
from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day when Louis was 3
years old, he was cutting some leather, suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eyes. He soon became
completely blind.
When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the blind in Paris. One day his class went to
visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It showed
messages in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no-one else can read them. The captain wrote this code
in raised letters on very thick paper.
Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so the blind could “read” with
their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a “cell” of
six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down. So blind people can read and write even write
music by Braille.

Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people – they are a cheap and
easy way to see a country. People often travel by train, by coach or on foot, so one thing is important
to remember before starting: you can only take with you what you can carry – usually in a rucksack
on your back. If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared – a tent, a gas stove,
food. Other things must be taken by each person – clothes, footwear, and a sleeping bag. So you
must be sure of how much you can carry. Most people find 10kg about right. Much more than that
and you need another holiday when you get home! And remember, if the weather is wet your
rucksack is heavier. Many people who go camping for the first time take too much and then find they
have forgotten the essentials. But with practice and good advice you can have a fantastic holiday.
9. Why are camping holidays very popular with students and young people?

Copenhagen
In spite of being the capital of one of Europe’s smallest countries, the clean and friendly city of
Copenhagen offers a host of cultural and sightseeing opportunities. With a vast number of
pedestrianised streets, the best way to sightsee is by foot, or you may prefer a leisurely canal cruise
past the colorful waterfront houses.
Sights not be missed include Rosenborg Castle which houses the Crown Jewels, Amalienborg
Palace, the Little Mermaid and the famous Tivoli Gardens with a myriad of restaurants and bars,
concert halls and a fairground offering something for everyone. Also worth a visit is the Viking
Museum and for something different why not tour the Carlsberg Brewery. Shoppers will enjoy the
fine shops of the Stroget and don’t forget the side-streets leading from it. After sunset, head for
Nyhavn quayside.
“A rarity among capital cities - it does not overwhelm you, but rather takes you gently in and
shows you its sights with quiet pride. The Little Mermaid is smaller than you imagined (but she is,
Page 118
after all, “Little”) and there isn’t a single inch of neon among the light bulbs of Tivoli.” - John Carter.
A. Visiting the city, you can enjoy the sights and learn about its cultures.
C. Cars and other vehicles are not allowed in many of Copenhagen streets.
D. You can’t drive in the city because the streets are so narrow.
