thought?
Three teenagers describe their hobbies

Melissa, runner
I started running about a year ago. At first, I just ran 1 or 2 kilometres, but I now do about 10.
My speed is improving too. I've joined a running club in the town centre. I didn't know any of
the members before, but now most of them are my mates. My dad was a keen runner when
he was younger - he was really fit, but he stopped when he hurt his leg. Actually, I need to
order some new running shoes - just a simple pair. I don't think the expensive ones make you
run faster!
Sharon, skateboarder
I go skateboarding most evenings in the park. I suppose that's quite a lot, but the park is only
a minute or two from our apartment, and I only stay there half an hour or so. Although I stay
longer when my friends are there. Sometimes my cousin's there too. He's a beginner and I'm
teaching him a few moves. He's starting to get really good!
Latifa, rock climber
Two of my best friends suggested I should start rock climbing, so now the three of us do it
together. The mother of one of them takes us once or twice a month, but I'd like to do it every
week. When I started, I didn't know you need to get so much stuff - and it isn't exactly cheap!
I really love it. I don't think I'll ever get bored of climbing!
Would you like to be an astronaut?
You don't have to be Superman to fly in space. Many men and women from many different
countries have done it. For example, the European Space Agency (ESA) now has 14 astronauts
from 8 different countries.
47
The first thing is this - you need to be sure it's the job that you really want to do. It requires a
lot of hard work and several years of study at university before astronaut training even
begins. Most people start this between 27 and 37 years of age. Many astronauts also train to
become pilots first.
Astronauts come from all over Europe and the world, and it's important that they can speak
the same languages. They have to speak English, and they are given Russian lessons. Some
also learn another language, for example Japanese, as a number of astronauts are Japanese
speakers.
If you are still at school and you'd like to be an astronaut when you're older, it's not too early
to start developing the skills you will need. Playing video games is a great thing to do, as it
helps you to think quickly and clearly. This is what you will need to do when you travel in
space.
Another good thing to do is sports, especially team sports. They make you fit, of course, but
more importantly, they help you learn how to do things together with your colleagues. So,
maybe planning a game of football for next weekend isn't a bad idea?
14 The first paragraph says that
A lots of people can be an astronaut.
B there are astronauts from all countries.
C only 14 people from Europe have become astronauts.
15 The writer says
A you need to be a pilot before you become an astronaut.
B it's important to know that being an astronaut is right for you.
C when you start training to be an astronaut, you must be between 27 and 37.
16 Which languages do ESA astronauts know how to speak after training?
A English and Russian
B English and Japanese
C English, Japanese and Russian
17 Why can playing video games be useful if you want to be an astronaut?
A There are many video games about space travel.
B Video games can teach you to think fast.
C Video games help you to understand how computers work.
18 How can sports help you to become an astronaut?
A They help you to get fit.
B They give you something to do in your free time.
C They help you to work well with other people.

(Đại từ nhân xưng) (Tính từ sở hữu) (Đại từ sở hữu)
I My Mine
You Your Yours
We Our Ours
They Their Theirs
He His His
She Her Hers
It Its Its
Tính từ sở hữu (Possessive adjectives) được sử dụng với danh từ để nói rằng cái gì đó
thuộc về một người hoặc vật.

hữu.
Eg: This is my bag. (adjective) This bag is mine. (pronoun)
Is this your coat? (adjective) Yes, it's mine. (pronoun)
• Chúng ta không dùng mạo từ trước tính từ sở hữu hoặc đại từ.
Eg: This is your desk. This is the mine.
• Tính từ sở hữu và đại từ có dạng giống nhau ở số ít và số nhiều.
Eg: This is her book. These are her books.
Trong tiếng Anh, tính từ sở hữu và đại từ luôn đồng ý với chủ sở hữu.
Eg: This is Susan. Her father is a doctor and her mother is an actress.
* Chú ý:
- Đừng nhầm lẫn its (sở hữu) và it's (it is).
Eg: The dog wants its dinner. It is the dog’s dinner.
- Chúng ta sử dụng Whose...? để hỏi về người sở hữu.
Eg: A Whose pen is that? / Whose is that pen?
B It's mine.

I get up not as early as my sister.
4. The Present perfect tense (Thì Hiện tại hoàn thành)
Thì hiện tại hoàn thành được hình thành với to have + quá khứ phân từ.
Chúng ta sử dụng thì Hiện tại hoàn thành:
• Để nói về những hành động đã xảy ra trong quá khứ nhưng có kết quả ảnh hưởng đến
hiện tại.
Eg: We've bought a puppy. (We bought it last week and we have it now.)
• Để nói về những việc đã xảy ra gần đây.
Eg: She's been on a diet recently.
• Để nói về những trải nghiệm đã xảy ra trong quá khứ nhưng chúng ta không nói chính xác
khi nào. Chúng ta có thể dùng ever trong câu hỏi và never trong câu trả lời.
Eg: A Have you ever seen this program?
B No, never / Yes, I've seen it before.
• Với khoảng thời gian không trọn vẹn: today, this week/ month/ year, this morning...
61
Eg: I've been to the gym twice this month. (The month isn't finished yet.)
• Với for và since. Chúng ta dùng for để chỉ một khoảng thời gian và since khi một việc gì đó
bắt đầu.
Eg: She has lived in that flat for five years.
They have known each other since Christmas.
• Với just, already, still và yet. Chúng ta dùng “already” để chỉ thời gian trước đây và chỉ để
nói về một sự kiện gần đây. Chúng ta sử dụng cả just và already cho câu khẳng định; still
thường được dùng trong câu phủ định cũng như trong câu phủ định và câu hỏi.
Eg: I've just had a text message from Tom.
We've already had chicken for dinner this week
* Hiện tại hoàn thành với: just
Chúng ta dùng just để nói về điều gì đó đã xảy ra cách đây không lâu. Chúng ta đặt giữa

* Hiện tại hoàn thành với: yet

Three great campsites to try this summer
Sandy Bay
This campsite is on an excellent beach, and has its own surfing school with special prices for
campers. You can also learn to windsurf and sail there. The sea is safe for swimming, so it's a
great place for families. The large swimming pool is great in summer, and has a wide area of
grass around it. Its small supermarket has long opening hours. It doesn't matter what size
tent you bring, as the campsite is large and you won't be too near your neighbours!
High Wood
There are lots of activities you can do at High Wood campsite, from fishing to cycling, and
they'll lend you any of the equipment you need. It's not as large as some campsites, but it's
clean and modern. It has a fantastic pool with a roof window which can open and close.
There's also a special area where you can watch films or dance under the stars to local bands.
For food shopping, try the shop in the nearby village.
Black Lake
The wonderful thing about Black Lake campsite is waking up in the morning and seeing the
beautiful mountains all around you. You don't have to bring your own tent - there are some
already there you can pay to use. There's lots to do - you can swim in the lake or walk in the
forest. And don't forget to bring your mountain bike with you! If you want to cook for
yourself, the shop in the next village has a good variety of food.
Jack Calder
Violin player Jack Calder plays in the Australian band, Ocean Blue.
Jack Calder started playing the violin when he was ten. 'My music teacher played and one day
he asked if anyone wanted to learn. Some girls put up their hands and so did I. I didn't have
a violin, but my uncle said I could use his. The lessons were really hard at first, but playing the
violin soon became important to me.'
After leaving school, Jack moved to Melbourne. For a time, he preferred listening to music to
playing it. The rock music he listened to sounded very different from violin music, so he
95
bought an electric violin, and started putting the things he liked about rock music into the
music he played on his violin.
A year later, Jack met a small group of Melbourne musicians. 'We all thought about music in
the same way and started Ocean Blue together. A year later, we were playing lots of concerts,
and our music was selling well. But we didn't want this to make us different people. We didn't
want to stop being friends.'
Jack meets many people who think playing the violin is an unusual career, but he doesn't
agree with them. 'I think it's the best thing in the world. I guess I'm lucky that way. The
internet has changed music, but when I walk into a violin shop it's like entering another world
- one where time has stopped. Someone has looked after these beautiful old instruments that
are two or three hundred years old. I think that's amazing."
14 What do we learn about Jack in the first paragraph?
A He was the only person at school to play the violin.
B He learned to play on an instrument that he borrowed.
C He enjoyed playing the violin as soon as he started learning.
15 What is the writer doing in the second paragraph?
A explaining why Jack thought some music was easy to play
B saying why only a few people liked the music Jack played
C describing how Jack changed the kind of music he played
16 What does Jack say about Ocean Blue?
A Nobody in the band liked travelling far to play in a concert.
B The band members were interested in different kinds of music.
C Everyone wanted to stay friends when the band became successful.
17 Why does Jack think he is lucky?
A He meets lots of people.
B He loves what he does.
C He has an unusual career.
18 Jack thinks it is a good idea
A to keep some things that people used in the past.
B to make more music available on the internet.
C to teach more people to play an instrument.

talk about Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos today, the two well-known celebrations in the
United States and Mexico.
Although Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos are celebrated around the same time, they ore
not the same. Halloween is celebrated on October 31st. On this day, Americans decorate
their homes with scary decorations. Children dress up in various costumes and go around
their neighborhood asking for candy. It's trick-or-treating, the children's favorite on
Halloween evening.
Different from Halloween, people in Mexico celebrate Dia de Los Muertos or The Day of the
Dead on November 2nd every year. Mexican people believe that the dead people return to
their homes on this day. They build an altar for their dead relatives and decorate it with
candy, flowers, photographs, food ond drinks, and fresh water. They also visit their relatives
graves on this day.

ill and died, leaving the woman heartbroken. She did not want to marry anyone else. Then
she ran away from her family into the woods. She started to feel tired and could not go
any farther. She fell to the ground and died. A tree with white flowers grew right where
she was. The flowers from the tree had a pleasant smell. Since then, it has been called the
Ban flower.

How three young people became DJs

DJ Fire
This Russian DJ grew up travelling with his parents who were in a rock
band. He started learning piano at four, and drums at twelve. As a
teenager, he wrote songs and posted them online as a hobby. Then, at
20, a music company started paying him to write songs for pop bands -
and some have been on the radio. Later he became interested in
electronic music and started playing it in clubs. He's hoping to get an
invitation to play at some international festivals this summer.
DJ Goldrock
This South African DJ started playing the piano when he was 5. At 15, he
played pop songs at a cousin's birthday party, and got a hundred kids
dancing. At that moment, he knew he wanted to be a DJ and never have a
normal job. He started a website where he played his favourite songs, and
soon had lots of fans. He's now 20 and has his own show on national
radio. For the past three years, he's spent his summers going around the
world playing dance music at festivals.
DJ Mango
At 15, this Brazilian DJ's parents gave him a new computer and DJ
equipment for making electronic dance music. Later that year, he started
playing music at local dance parties to make some extra money, and the
parties just got bigger and bigger. A few years later, a journalist asked him
why he became a DJ. He said that as a child his dream was to play the
electric guitar for a rock group, but he wasn't good enough!

PART 3
QUESTIONS 14-18
A path across Canada
Thirteen-year-old Kara Finch writes about The Great Trail - a footpath that goes across Canada.
The Great Trail goes from one side of Canada to the other. At 24,000 km, it is the longest trail in
the world. The Great Trail project began in 1992 and took 25 years to complete. It opened in 2017,
exactly 150 years after Canada became one country.
The Great Trail is actually lots of paths joined together. You can cycle, walk or horse-ride on most
of it, but there are parts where the only way you can travel is by boat. And there are others where
the trail is part of the highway, which doesn't sound very safe to me.
My father and I spent a day walking along part of the Great Trail that was surprisingly busy. We
were told you don't usually see bears when there are lots of people, but we did. It was moving
through the trees, quite close to us, and I felt a little afraid. 'I don't think it's hungry!' laughed my
dad.
At lunchtime, we talked to an old man on the trail. Dad asked him if he thought the path was going
to help Canadians learn more about their countryside. 'Not really,' he said. 'We've always loved to
be outdoors. But it will bring us tourists from around the world, which is important.'
In the future, the path will probably change, and new parts may open. We saw nothing to tell us
we were on the Great Trail, which is a shame. I know there's information on the website, but it's
good to know when you're walking on a special path. They need to add some signs, I think.
14. What is Kara doing in the first paragraph?
A telling tourists how long it takes to walk the Great Trail
B explaining the history of the Great Trail
C giving walkers advice about walking in Canada
15. What does Kara think is dangerous?
A Some parts of the path are on roads.
B You need a boat for parts of the path.
C Bikes and horses share the same path.
16. What does Kara say about the bear she saw?
A It looked hungry.
B It was on the path.
С It walked near her.
17. What did the old man say about the trail?
A People from other countries will come to see it.
B People will go into the countryside more because of it.
С People from Canada will use it to see other parts of their country.
18. What does Kara say should happen next?
A There should be a website about the trail.
B Some parts of the trail should close.
C There should be more signs along the trail.

Learning for fun

Meet three women who enjoy taking classes in their free time.
Paula
I work full time as a nurse, and don't have much time for hobbies, but I've
been interested in photography since I was a child. On my last holiday to
India, I took lots of pictures, and everyone I showed them to said they were
great. So I decided to do a course. At first, I was afraid I might not be good
enough. After all, it was my first time as a student for ten years! But I loved
it from the very first lesson.
Sally
166
When I was still at school, I started learning the violin. It was fun and I was
quite good at it, but I didn't do it for long, because I had so many other
hobbies. Then last year, I was having a hard time in my job, and my
husband bought me a violin as a present. I started learning with a teacher
again. All three of my children are learning to play instruments too, so now
we can practise with each other!
Kim
Last year I moved to a new city because of my job. I didn't have anything to
do in the evenings, so one of my colleagues said I should try a class at the
local college. I immediately thought of cooking. My mum was a fantastic
cook, and when I was a child I loved watching her in the kitchen, but I never
learned how to cook myself. The other students on the course are around
my age, and sometimes we go to restaurants together, or even the cinema.

Questions 14-18
My city
Pop singer Charlotte Bond talks about living in London.
I live in the centre of London. I love it because there's always something happening and there are
people around whatever time it is. Famous people like it too - they often come here for the
restaurants and shops.
I've lived here all my life. When I was little, I had singing lessons at a place near where I live now. I
was afraid of the teacher at first, and some of the songs we did together were quite hard to learn.
But she was good at what she did and I learned a lot of things that have helped me in my career.
When friends visit me now, l enjoy taking them sightseeing. You can get a bus around the city, but
we prefer to walk. I've got a little car and I love driving, but there's so much traffic here, and it's
hard to find parking spaces.
167
One building I love is the Natural History Museum. They sometimes hold parties there, and last
December my band and played at one. I'll never forget it. When I go to exhibitions at the museum
with my friends, I tell them all about that night and how amazing it was.
Soon I'll be leaving London to go on tour with my band. We're playing in lots of new cities and I
can't wait to explore them. We've sold lots of tickets, which is great. I'll be away from my family
for six months, but they're coming to see me sing, so it's fine.
14. What does Charlotte love about the centre of London?

A It is always busy.
B Famous people often visit.
C The shops are very good.
15. How does Charlotte feel about the singing lessons she had?
A She's surprised she can remember them.
B She's sorry she didn't try harder.
C She's glad she did them.

A by car
B on foot
C by bus

Exercise 2. Read the text about wind farms. Complete each gap in the summary with ONE WORD
from the text.
A wind farm (wind park) is a collection of wind turbines in the same location used to produce
electricity. Wind farms come in different sizes. A wind farm can include a small number of
turbines or several hundred wind turbines covering a huge area. Wind farms can be either on
the land or in the sea.
Wind farms have a lower environmental effect than many other sources of electricity because
they do not require fuel. For that reason, people often consider wind farms a good source of
green energy. However, people often criticize wind farms because they affect the landscape.
Normally, wind farms need more land to build than other power stations. Wind farms are
often in wild and rural areas, and people living in those areas believe the construction of a
wind farm causes habitat loss and affects tourism.
185
Summary:
A wind farm has 1) _________ sizes. Engineers can build a wind farm offshore or on 2) _________ A
wind farm does not have many 3) _________ impacts. Wild and 4) _________ areas are suitable for
building wind parks. However, people are not excited about that because they think it causes
habitat loss and affects the landscape and 5) _________.

Reading
a. Read the text about what makes a city green. Circle the best options.
Saving the planet does not have to be difficult.

There are some suggestions for saving the Earth. For example, some
experts suggest that we walk more and not use vehicles too often
because carbon dioxide (CO2) from those vehicles is harmful.
However, it seems to be tricky for us to follow the advice. There are
several easy and helpful things we can do at home to help save the
environment.
Use fewer plastic containers.
Usually, plastic shopping bags or water bottles are single-use items. In other words, we can
use those containers once only. They will end up in landfills when we finish using them, and
will pollute the land over time. Try using reusable bags, cups, or water bottles next time.
Use less paper.
Paper tissues ore cheap and easy to use while we are at home. However, paper production
produces some gases that are harmful to the environment. We sometimes overuse them
for a simple purpose. Try to use a cloth we can wash after use for our cleanup.
Avoid wasting water around the house.
It is not easy to know how much water we use every day. We also do not usually think about
where our wastewater can arrive. The oceans seem to be the final destinations. So, use the
water correctly and less wastewater will reach the seas.
1 The reason why some scientists advise using fewer vehicles is _______.
A to save money B to lose weight
C to reduce harmful gas D to reduce traffic
2 According to the text, following the advice of experts is _______.
A easy B difficult
C effortless D simple
3 Single-use items are things we can use _______.
A many times B more than once
C more than twice D once only
187
4 According to the text, plastic bags, cups, or water bottles can _______.
A end up in garbage dumps B make a change to the sea area
C kill some sea creatures D make the beach dirty
5 According to the text, reusable items are things we can use _______.
A once only B no more than once
C once or twice D on one occasion only
b. Read the text again. Write Y (yes), N (no) or NG (not given).
6 Paper tissues are expensive and tricky to use. ______
7 It is expensive to produce paper. ______
8 It is hard to measure the amount of water for everyday use. ______
9 The wastewater will end up in the oceans. ______
10 We can save the Earth by reducing household wastewater. ______

Dear Mayor Khan,
My name is Henry. I recently visited your city, London, England, and I would like you to know how
surprised I was at how clean and beautiful the city has become. On my last visit twenty years ago,
the pollution was so terrible I had to stay inside the hotel during the day, and I could not exercise
in the park. Now, the air is cleaner and easier to breathe. It was also great to see the dirty coal
plant replaced with solar panels and wind turbines. I read in the newspaper that the city now gets
60% of its energy from renewable energy sources and will add another 20% by 2030. These
changes make London more eco-friendly, and visitors like me notice the difference. My only
190
suggestion to make the city more eco-friendly would be to reduce the use of natural gas for
cooking.

A dancer’s life
Priya
I work as a dancer, and I'm also studying part-time. I practise most
days and have to do my college work, so I can't always go out with my
friends at weekends, but that's fine. We text each other every day.
I mostly dance in musicals, but in the future I'm hoping to start jazz
dance. My mum always comes to watch me on stage. She's my biggest
fan! Being a dancer isn't easy, but I want to do it as long as I can.
Zoe
There are dancers of all ages in my dance company and every year we
go on international tours together. My cousin also dances with me.
She's been a dancer for seven years and people everywhere know her
now. She was a jazz dancer in the past, but loves what we do now. I
don't usually feel worried before I dance in front of others - I know I'm
good! But that's only because I try so hard. I spend about three hours
dancing every day.
Heike
202
I come from a family of dancers so maybe it's not surprising I'm one
too. I'm in a hip-hop group at the moment, but actually I can dance to
any music — even jazz! I'm the youngest member of my dance group.
Before each show, I think of everything that might go wrong, but I try
hard to tell myself it'll all be OK. We dance all over the country, so l'm
away from home almost every day and I miss my friends a lot.

Travel writer
Tim Greenwood lives in Oakland, USA. He has written about Cambodia, Thailand and India.
At the moment he is writing a book about Nepal.
Tim, how did you start travelling?

We never travelled as a family, but when I was a teenager I saw movies like Lawrence of
Arabia and they made me want to travel. I left college at the age of 21 and went to Europe
alone. That trip didn't go well - I was too young and didn't know how to look after myself.
How did you start writing?

I've loved writing since l was ten - l've never wanted any other career. At 21, I wrote for my
weekly college paper and then started writing travel articles. At first, none of the travel
magazines I sent them to wanted to buy them, but that slowly changed. It took two or three
years, I guess.
What do you find difficult about writing?

It is easy to spend all my time travelling and then not have time to open up my laptop and
work! Also, it's hard to earn enough money. I'll never stop writing, but one day I may have
to do a few hours a week teaching just to pay the bills.
What's the best thing about being a travel writer?

I get letters from young people who've read my books and articles and enjoy my work. I just
love that!
