Nam’s father: What are you doing, Nam?

Nam: I’m preparing a presentation for my geography class.

Nam’s father: What’s the topic?

Nam: It’s environmental protection. My teacher asked me to do some research, but I don’t know where to start.

Nam’s father: I think you should identify some environmental problems first. What have you found so far?

Nam: I’ve come up with a range of environmental issues such as global warming, deforestation, endangered animals and pollution, but I don’t know how to organise them.

Nam’s father: You should focus on each problem, explain the main causes of it, and the suggest the solutions.

Nam: Thanks, Dad. But presenting all the solutions will be hard.

Nam’s father: Have you asked your teacher for advice?

Nam: Yes, I have. She advised that I should start with small, practical actions to protect the environment before coming up with big ideas that need a lot of effort or money to succeed.

Nam’s father: Sounds good. You’d better follow her advice. When did she ask you to present it?

Nam: She said I should present it the following week.

Nam’s father: You still have a lot of time. Good luck!

Nam: Thanks, Dad.

Long: Hi, Nick. What are you doing?

Nick: I’m watching the video that my geography teacher uploaded on Eclass.

Long: Really? What is it about?

Nick: It’s about global warming. My teacher asked us to watch the video and find more information about this topic.

Long: So, is watching the video part of your homework?

Nick: Yes, then next week, we’ll work in groups and discuss the topic in class.

Long: Sounds interesting. You can watch the video many times and also search for more information at home.

Nick: You’re right. I’m not good at taking notes in class, you know. So I prefer this way of learning. It gives me a chance to discuss with my classmates, who may have original ideas on the topic.

Long: Does your teacher often ask you to prepare materials at home and discuss in class, Nick?

Nick: Yes, she does. We’re doing a lot of projects that help us understand the lessons better. This way of studying, which gives us more control over our own learning, is quite useful.

Long: You’re lucky. My teachers use very traditional methods of teaching at my school. I wish I could try these new learning activities.

Environmental Impact of Tourism

Although tourism is often called 'the smokeless industry', or an environmentally-friendly industry, it can actually damage nature. However, different kinds of tourism may have different effects on the environment.

• Mass tourism is a kind of tourism which involves tens of thousands of people crowding the same places at the same time of year. It often has a lot of negative impact on the local area, such as litter from tourists and pollution from traffic.

• Ecotourism provides tourists with opportunities to explore nature, and at the same time helps protect the environment and educates travellers on local environmental issues. It also promotes tourists' respect for local communities.

• Sustainable tourism involves not only environmental protection and cultural respect, but also efforts to keep profits local. It often refers to actions of the tourist industry as a whole.

• Responsible tourism encourages tourists to be more than visitors. Responsible tourists should not only be aware of their role, but also take part in protecting the environment, culture and improving the profits for local people. Responsible tourism often relates to specific actions of individuals, businesses, and communities.

At an international summer camp, Lan is talking with Mark and Linda about jobs.

Lan: It’s great to have another week full of activities and trips at the camp.

Mark: Oh, yeah. I like the trip to the kindergarten most. The kids were adorable and the teachers were great. I think I’ll be a kindergarten teacher.

Lan: That’s fantastic. My cousin works at a kindergarten and the children love being in his class. By the way, what do you want to be in the future, Linda?

Linda: Oh, I’ve always wanted to be a surgeon, so I’ll go to medical school. What about you, Lan?

Lan: Me? My dream is to become an airline pilot. That’s why I’m focusing on maths and physics, and exercising more to improve my fitness.

Linda: Cool! I hope your dream will come true. In some countries girls may not be allowed to be pilots.

Lan: That’s true, Linda. We’re lucky to live in a country where boys and girls are encouraged to do the jobs they want.

Mark: I couldn’t agree more. Girls mustn’t be kept home in today’s world. Boys and girls should be treated equally and given the same job opportunities.

The more people travel, the bigger impact they may have on the environment. How can we reduce it while travelling? Here are some advice.

Reduce your carbon footprint while travelling. Since flying produces more carbon footprint than any other means of transport, you should only fly when the trip is long. During the trip, you should walk, cycle or use public transport as much as you can. This not only helps to keep the environment clean, but also allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature and interact with local people. 

Choose eco-friendly activities that benefit animals and the ecosystem. Avoid activities that allow you to touch or ride animals because they disturb their natural patterns and attract many people. Instead, visit wildlife parks or organic farms. These will help you understand and respect the nature more and stop doing things that harm the environment.

Kim

I think face-to-face learning is better than online learning because I can communicate with teachers and other classmates immediately and directly when I have questions. In class, I can work in groups and discuss with friends. This helps me understand the lessons better. When I have a problem, I can ask for answers or help immediately. I can't do this in online classes. I have to email my teachers and wait for their reply. Learning in a traditional classroom also has fewer distractions than learning online. My teachers have many strategies to keep us focused on the lessons. I really enjoy my lessons and learn a lot.

Laura

I think online learning has more advantages than disadvantages. My school is trying to change from face-to-face to blended learning, so sometimes we have online classes. I don't have to go to school, but I don't feel I'm missing any lessons by taking online classes. Furthermore, I think I learn online as much as I learn in a traditional class. I can't talk to my teacher and classmates, but I can email them at any time. I also have an online discussion board where I can exchange comments and ideas about my projects with my classmates. The only disadvantage is I really need to have a fast Internet connection.
