Household chores
1. Listen and read.
Nam: Hello, Minh.
Minh: Hi, Nam. How are you? I'm going to play football at our school sports field with a few friends this evening. Are you free to join us?
Nam: I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm preparing dinner.
Minh: Really? Doesn't your mum cook?
Nam: Oh, yes. My mum usually does the cooking, but she's working late today.
Minh: How about your sister, Lan? Does she help with the housework?
Nam: Yes. She often helps with the cooking. But she can't help today. She's studying for her exams.
Minh: I see. I never do the cooking. It's my mother's job.
Nam: Really? So how do you divide the household chores in your family?
Minh: Mum is the homemaker, so she does the chores. My dad is the breadwinner; he earns money. And we, the kids, study.
Nam: Well, in my family, we divide the housework equally – Mum usually cooks and shops for groceries; Dad cleans the house and does the heavy lifting.
Minh: What about you and your sister?
Nam: My sister does the laundry. I do the washing-up and put out the rubbish. We also help with the cooking when our mum is busy.
Minh: That sounds fair! Anyway, I have to go now. See you later.
Nam: Bye. Have fun.

Grammar
Present simple vs. present continuous
Remember!
– We use the present simple to talk about habits or things we do regularly.
Example: My mother cooks every day.
– We use the present continuous to talk about things which are happening at the moment of speaking.
Example: My mother isn't cooking now. She's working in her office.
Note: We don't usually use the present continuous tense with stative verbs (like, love, need, want, know, agree, etc.).
1. Choose the correct form of the verb in each sentence.
1. Mrs Lan usually ==does== / ==is doing== the cooking in her family.
2. I'm afraid he can't answer the phone now. He ==puts out== / ==is putting out== the rubbish.
3. He ==cleans== / ==is cleaning== the house every day.
4. My sister can't do any housework today. She ==studies== / ==is studying== for her exams.
5. My mother ==does== / ==is doing== the laundry twice a week.
2. Read the text and put the verbs in brackets in the present simple or present continuous.
Mrs Lam is a housewife. Every day, she (1. do) ________ most of the housework. She cooks, washes the clothes, and cleans the house. But today is Mother's Day, so Mrs Lam (2. not do) ________ any housework. At the moment, she (3. watch) ________ her favourite TV programme. Her children (4. do) ________ the cooking and her husband (5. tidy up ) ________ the house. Everybody (6. try) ________ hard to make it a special day for Mrs Lam.

Benefits of doing housework
1 Work in pairs. Look at the picture and answer the questions.
What is each person in the picture doing?
2. Do you think that they are happy? Why or
why not?
2 Read the text and tick () the appropriate meanings of the highlighted words.
Most people think that housework is boring and is the responsibility of wives and mothers only. Many parents don't ask their children to do housework so that they have more time to play or study. However, studies show doing chores is good for children. Kids who do housework develop important life skills that they will need for the rest of their lives. Doing the laundry, cleaning the house, and taking care of others are among the important skills that children will need when they start their own families. These are the things that schools cannot fully teach, so it's important for children to learn them at home. Sharing housework also helps young people learn to take responsibility. They know that they have to try to finish their tasks even though they do not enjoy doing them. Doing chores also helps develop children's gratitude to their parents. When doing housework, they learn to appreciate all the hard work their parents do around the house for them. In addition, doing chores together helps strengthen family bonds, creating special moments between children and parents. It makes children feel they are members of a team. All in all, doing housework can bring a lot of benefits to children. It teaches them life skills and helps build their character. Therefore, parents should encourage their kids to share the housework for their own good as well as the good of the whole family.

Subject: My family routines
Hi Dong,
How are you getting on? In your last email you asked me about my family routines. Well, we have quite a few routines to help us learn life skills and build family bonds, but I'll tell you about three main ones.
First, my family always have dinner together. Dinners are important for us since we share our daily experiences and talk about the latest news. Second, we watch our favourite game show on TV together every Friday evening. We discuss the questions and guess the answers. It's great fun every time we get a correct answer. Third, every two weeks, on Saturday we clean the house together. We make a list of all the chores. Each of us then chooses one or two household tasks according to personal choice. We all feel happy and proud when we see our home spotlessly clean at the end of the day.
Do you have similar family routines? I'd be interested to know about your family. Please write back soon.
Best,
Joey

VIII. LOOKING BACK
Culture
1 Read the text and list the five family values of British people in the 21st century in the table below.
BRITISH FAMILY VALUES
Family values are ideas about how people want to live their family life and are passed on from parents to children. Strong family values can prepare children for a happy life. Results of a recent survey in the UK show that even though modern family life has changed greatly, a number of traditional family values are still important in the UK nowadays.
On top of the list are the values of being truthful and honest, and respecting older people. Children are taught to tell the truth from an early age. They learn to show respect to older people, who have a wealth of life experiences. Having good table manners is the third important family value. Coming fourth and fifth on the list are the values of remembering to say please and thank you, and helping with family chores respectively.
It is clear that in the 21st century, British people still follow some traditional family values.

C. Green products
Tips
When you choose the best title, you should:
read through the whole text.
pay attention to the opening paragraph.
choose the title that best represents the idea of the whole text, not just part of it.
More and more people adopt a green lifestyle. It is a choice we make to change to a greener and more ==sustainable== lifestyle. There are many things you can do to become an eco-friendly person. Here are some of them.
Turning off your appliances when they are not in use
This is one of the easiest ways to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. It also helps reduce energy bills and prevent any dangerous situations such as a fire or an explosion.
Buying products that are grown using more natural and ==organic== methods
This helps reduce the use of harmful chemicals in food. Organic food is better for us because it is safer and healthier. It also tastes better.
==Cutting down on== plastic use
This really helps the environment because it takes many years for plastic waste to break down into small pieces. Bring a reusable bag when you go shopping, and your own refillable bottle instead of buying bottled water.
Recycling as much as possible
This prevents pollution because it reduces the need to collect new raw materials and protects ==natural resources== such as water and trees. So don't throw away your used household items, but sort and recycle them.

First, judges travel all round America ==in search of== the best singers and bring them to Hollywood. Twenty-four to thirty-six participants are then chosen to go on to the next stages where they perform live on TV, and receive the judges' opinions. From the semi-final onwards, people over 13 and living in the US, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands can vote for their preferred singers online or through text messaging. The singer with the lowest number of votes is ==eliminated==. On the final night, the most popular singer becomes the winner of that American Idol season.

This music show has been held in many countries in the world. The first season of Vietnam Idol was shown in 2007. It included three stages: short performances to choose participants, semi-finals, and finals. The winners of the show's different seasons have become famous singers in Viet Nam.

1. Ann has just come back from a music event and shared her experience on a music website. Read her blog and complete the notes below.
Last Saturday, I went to the International Youth Music Festival with some friends. This music event was even bigger and better than last year. There were a lot of exciting performances with many famous bands and singers from all over the world. I must say that they were really cool on stage! We had a chance to see our favourite idols perform live and listen to their greatest hits. We also tasted a lot of yummy food from different countries such as Korea, Mexico, and Thailand.
This year the festival took place in a big country park, so there was plenty of space for us to enjoy the music and relax. We all felt excited when going to this festival because we could make new friends and enjoy the party atmosphere ...

1 Read the text below. Then work in pairs to complete the crossword with five words
Water is essential for life. Therefore, the methods of collecting water are important for meeting its growing need. The traditional method involves collecting rainwater and storing it for later use. Rainwater is collected from a roof and sent to a container. Collected rainwater is an excellent source of water for people, animals, and plants. There is also a new method of collecting water. It can turn the tiny drops of water in the air into drinking water. Air-to-water technology creates water from air and releases it all the time. It uses the sun's energy and works well even in dry conditions. In general, collecting rainwater or creating water from air will allow people to save natural resources, improve the environment, and live a green life.

the past simple for an action which interrupted it (shorter action).
Example:
I ==was reading== an article ==when== she ==called==.
While I ==was reading== an article, she ==called==.

I was revising for my civics class when my dad ==was telling / told== me about the volunteer job.
We saw many unhappy children while we ==were helping / helped== people in remote areas.
He was sorting the donations when he ==was realising / realised== how generous people were.

C. The club organises many volunteering activities that benefit both the community
and the students. I joined the Volunteer Club when I started secondary school. The club was formed fifteen years ago, shortly after the school was set up. Since then, it has organised various volunteering activities for all students to participate. One of the most popular activities of our club is selling handmade items to raise money for the local orphanage and homeless old people. Last year, we also raised over one hundred million VND to help people in flooded areas. The money was used to buy warm clothes, blankets, food, and clean water. Our club welcomes different types of donations: clothes, picture books, unused notebooks, and other unwanted items. At the end of each month, we take the donations to the community centre. Our club also organises after-school games for the children at the orphanage and concerts for the old people at the centre. In addition, it offers other volunteering activities, such as helping at a food bank or delivering free meals to poor families. Volunteering has helped me gain life experiences and find my sense of purpose in life. When I see suffering and hardships, I feel thankful for what I have. What is more, these activities provide opportunities for me to meet other teenagers with similar interests and help me build essential life skills.

Phong: I’m not sure. It’s hard to choose between a smartphone and a laptop. They’re both useful, and I’ve wanted either of them for a long time. What do you think, Dad?
Dad: Perhaps a laptop is a better choice. Since laptops were invented, they’ve allowed us to study better and work faster. They’ve completely changed our lives in the last 20 years.
Phong: That’s true, Dad. But smartphones have also improved the way we work and study.
Dad: Really? I didn’t know smartphones were suitable for learning.
Phong: Well, it’s actually a lot of fun to learn with educational apps. It’s also very convenient for learners to use them. Some of my classmates love using them on their smartphones. The apps allow them to communicate and learn at the same time.
Dad: I didn’t know that! There have been so many valuable inventions. Hmm... Perhaps you should ask your teacher. She may be able to help you decide.

C. AI in use today
D. AI in education Asimo in 2000 In 2000, Asimo, a robot created by Honda, amazed everyone by just walking down the stairs. Twenty years later, a robot named Sophia can even communicate with people by using human language and expressing emotions. However, robots are just one example of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the study and development of machines that can copy human intelligence. Nowadays, AI has been applied to various areas of life. At home, devices such as vacuum cleaners can now use AI to measure the room size and recognise any furniture. They can then decide on the most effective way to clean the house. In transport, AI can be used on many smartphones to collect information about traffic. This can then help drivers find the most suitable route. Travelling has become much more convenient thanks to AI. At work, the uses of AI are even more useful and exciting. Computer programs, such as AI software or chatbots, can help customers plan their holidays, book flights and hotels, and answer questions. AI is one of the most important inventions of the 21st century. It has completely changed our daily work and life.

A. AI development over time
B. Robots: The best AI inventions
C. AI in use today
D. AI in education Asimo in 2000 In 2000, Asimo, a robot created by Honda, amazed everyone by just walking down the stairs. Twenty years later, a robot named Sophia can even communicate with people by using human language and expressing emotions. However, robots are just one example of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the study and development of machines that can copy human intelligence. Nowadays, AI has been applied to various areas of life. At home, devices such as vacuum cleaners can now use AI to measure the room size and recognise any furniture. They can then decide on the most effective way to clean the house. In transport, AI can be used on many smartphones to collect information about traffic. This can then help drivers find the most suitable route. Travelling has become much more convenient thanks to AI. At work, the uses of AI are even more useful and exciting. Computer programs, such as AI software or chatbots, can help customers plan their holidays, book flights and hotels, and answer questions. AI is one of the most important inventions of the 21st century. It has completely changed our daily work and life.

There are two types of community service. The first one is a kind of punishment. For example, people who litter may be forced to clean up the streets. In this case, they may not feel happy about the work. The second type of community service is voluntary. This means people are willing, or pleased to do the work. For instance, people may volunteer to build houses for poor people, or raise money for children in mountainous areas. However, it does not mean that volunteering is always a selfless act because volunteers may also benefit from the volunteering activities. For example, they may volunteer to meet new people, to develop social skills, or to ʽfind themselvesʼ (learn what they truly want in life). In general, people may volunteer not just to help others, but also to help themselves.

2 Read the text and circle the correct meanings of the highlighted words and phrases.
Gender equality has been greatly promoted around the world. However, there are still many challenges that women face. First of all, there are still girls who are forced to get married before the age of 18. In many places, parents may see child marriage as a way to protect their daughters from violence. However, many of these young girls become victims of domestic violence. Child marriage also carries serious health risks as young girls are not physically developed to give birth. Secondly, more than half of the world's uneducated people are women. This means fewer girls than boys go to school or stay long at school. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young. They can also have better job skills and can earn higher salaries. Education gives girls the opportunity to have a better life and give back to their communities.
Thirdly, women are often paid less than men. In other words, women have to work longer than men to earn the same amount of money. Differences in career choices might be one reason. Women tend to become nurses, secretaries, or shop assistants, which are low-paying jobs, while men choose high-paying careers as surgeons, airline pilots, or engineers. Women are still not equal to men in today's society, and governments, organisations and individuals must work together to achieve gender equality.

WOMEN'S FOOTBALL
It is commonly thought that football is a sport for men. In fact, it is a sport for women, too. The first recorded football matches between women took place in the 1890s in Scotland and England. Women's football became very popular during the First World War when women started working in the factories. In 1921, however, the Football Association (FA) decided that the game was not suitable for women.
The ban lasted for 50 years until it was finally lifted in 1971. In the same year, France and the Netherlands played the first official women's international football match. However, it took 20 years for the first FIFA Women's World Cup to happen in 1991 in Asia. Since then, the competition has been held every four years.
Nowadays, like men's football, women's football is becoming more and more popular. Women's professional football has developed significantly and the Women's World Cup has drawn worldwide interests.

There are two types of relative clauses:
A defining relative clause gives essential information about the person or thing mentioned.
Example: The man who visited us yesterday is a famous doctor.
A non-defining relative clause gives extra information about the person or thing mentioned. It is often placed between commas.
Example: My uncle, who visited us yesterday, is a famous doctor.
2. Join the following sentences. Use who, that, which, or whose. Add commas where necessary.
My brother teaches me how to use a laptop. He is good at computers.

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.

MODERN SCHOOLS
Modern schools are designed to help each student to be successful. Teachers play the role of a guide for them and prepare them for lifelong learning. They encourage and challenge them to become responsible and confident individuals. Class discussion is a main feature of modern schools. Students are expected to take part in discussions and express personal opinions. It is also important to ask questions in class if students do not understand any point or instruction. Group learning is another common feature. Students may work in small groups on a project task. In class, teachers and students use computers to access digital learning resources. Teachers use technology and audio-visual materials to support their lessons. Outside the classroom, students have a chance to participate in field trips to famous landmarks such as museums, hospitals, and industry locations. These trips give them real-world experiences. Students also attend school camps to make friends with other students and to develop life skills in unfamiliar environments.

In the Pacific Island of Fiji, a new sport programme enables both male and female school teachers to receive training as coaches. Rugby, which is often considered a male sport, is creating more
opportunities for men and women in Fiji. For Kitiana Kaitu, a primary school teacher from Nasinu, Fiji, it was an honour to become a rugby coach. She has recently qualified as a coach and life skills trainer for this sport programme. Sport can be used as a powerful tool to reject
gender roles and build a healthy lifestyle. In the Pacific region, rugby is a particularly important sport. Kitiana Kaitu is now one of the highly skilled coaches who are discovering new ways to encourage both girls and boys in Fiji to play rugby.

Grammar
Reported speech
Remember!
We use reported speech when we want to tell someone what we or someone else said before.
When we use reported speech, we change personal pronouns, tenses of verbs, and adverbs of time.
Example:
'I will fly to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow,' Nam said.
→ Nam said he would fly to Ho Chi Minh City the following day.
When reporting questions, we often use the verb ask and the word order for statements, and omit the question mark.
– Wh-questions:
Example:
'Where do you live?'
→ He asked me where I lived.
– Yes/No questions:
Example:
'Do you like the book?'
→ He asked me if I liked the book.
1 Choose the correct word or phrase to complete each sentence.
Minh's teacher asked him if he ==was / is== ready to present the following day.
Nam's father ==suggested / denied== that Nam should focus on one aspect of the problem.
Tuan said he would complete his project ==the following week / next week==.
Mai ==asked / said== her teacher where she could get the information from.
Phong said he ==handed / had handed== in his project the previous day.
Reported speech
Remember!
We use reported speech when we want to tell someone what we or someone else said before.
When we use reported speech, we change personal pronouns, tenses of verbs, and adverbs of time.
Example:
'I will fly to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow,' Nam said.
→ Nam said he would fly to Ho Chi Minh City the following day.
When reporting questions, we often use the verb ask and the word order for statements, and omit the question mark.
– Wh-questions:
Example:
'Where do you live?'
→ He asked me where I lived.
– Yes/No questions:
Example:
'Do you like the book?'
→ He asked me if I liked the book.

What environmental problems do you see in the pictures?
c

d
2 Read the text and choose the best title for it.
a. Environmental problems: What are they?
b. Environmental protection: How important is it?
c. Environmental solutions: How practical are they?
The environment we live in is facing many serious problems. We need to be aware of these problems so that we can find ways to protect nature.
A. Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere. It is one of the biggest issues facing humans today. It can have serious consequences such as rising sea levels, polar ice melting, and extreme weather events like floods or heatwaves.
B. Another environmental problem is the cutting and clearing of natural forests. The loss of forests can have a negative impact on the environment. It can damage the natural habitats of many animals and put wildlife in danger. It can also destroy the natural soil and lead to climate change.
C. Air pollution is also a serious problem. It is mainly caused by waste gases that come out of vehicles, machines, or factories. When these harmful gases combine with the water in the air, they come down as rain or snow, which can damage all forms of life. In addition, this problem leads to global warming and climate change. It is also a major cause of respiratory diseases or even lung cancer.
D. Around the world, the number of endangered animals is rising. Many of them disappear because of pollution and climate change. In addition, humans illegally hunt and kill animals, and catch too many fish at once. This is upsetting the natural balance of ecosystems, which can be harmful to all living and non-living things.

Ms Hoa: Listen, everyone! This year, we're going on a field trip to Phong Nha Cave, a tourist attraction in Quang Tri Province.
Class: Hooray!
Nam: I hope I can find some small pieces of stalactites. If I add some to my rock collection, it will be the best at school.
Mai: I'll buy a lot of snacks to share. We'll have fun!
Ms Hoa: We will have fun, but in a different way. This time, the field trip is going to be eco-friendly.
Nam: Ms Hoa, what's an eco-friendly field trip?
Ms Hoa: Going on an eco-friendly field trip means we'll enjoy, explore, and learn about the place, but in a way that will not damage it. So, Nam, I'm afraid you can't take any stalactites because it takes hundreds or sometimes thousands of years for them to form.
Nam: Wow! I didn't know that. I won't even touch them, I promise.
Mai: But can we bring snacks?

==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.

1 Read the text. Match the highlighted words in the text with their meanings.
The more people travel, the bigger impact they may have on the environment. How can we reduce it while travelling? Here is 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.
