Mr Nam, grandfather, a 70-year-old farmer

I was one of the few children in my village who was still at school at the age of 15. Every day, I got up early and walked to school. Learning then depended mostly on our teachers and textbooks. We had no library or lab. The nearest bookshop was six kilometres away. I learned simply by taking notes during class, memorising them, and doing the homework. Life then was simple. We rarely travelled outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.

Mai, granddaughter, a 15-year-old student

Learning today is very different from my grandfather’s time. It is easier and more convenient. Besides learning from teachers and textbooks, we use the Internet. It provides us with various online sources such as documents, clips, and programmes. Google helps us find the answers to almost any questions we have. The Internet also allows us to pursue our own interests. Learning has become more independent. Although most children in my village have fewer private learning facilities than the students in the city, we are still luckier than my grandfather's generation. We have TVs to watch at home and a library and computers at school.

Question 31. In Mr Nam’s time, __________.

A. teachers played an important role

B. bookshops did not exist

C. students had to wake up early and go to school on foot

D. all children stayed on at school until they were 15

Question 32. Few people travelled outside their village, so __________.

A. life in the village was simple

B. his school lacked learning facilities

C. the villagers had limited knowledge about the world

D. none of the villagers knew about city life

Question 33. Modern learning __________.

A. does not require textbooks

B. makes use of online programmes

C. relies only on the Internet

D. does not require students to take notes

Question 34. The word ‘It’ refers to __________.

A. today’s learning

B. Mai’s grandfather’s time

C. Google

D. the Internet

Question 35. The word ‘we’ refers to __________.

A. learning facilities

B. students in Mr. Nam’s generation

C. students in the city

D. children in the village

Read Tina's blog post about her family's trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Write T (right), F (wrong) or NI (doesn't say).

I learned about natural wonders in school today, and luckily, I had the chance to visit one of these wonders last summer - the Great Barrier Reef.

The Great Barrier Reef is located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It is home to the world's largest coral system, which spans over 2,300 kilometres. These amazing coral formations can be seen both above and below the sea. Because a helicopter tour was too expensive for us, we took a boat tour to take in the breathtaking views. The scenery was so stunning, and we couldn't resist taking countless photos.

During our visit, we had the chance to explore this fascinating natural wonder by taking part in a variety of activities, including snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, and water rafting. It was interesting to learn that corals are not plants but rather animals! The Great Barrier Reef is an enchanting world full of over 1,500 species of fish and 400 species of corals, each with a stunning array of colours, shapes, and sizes.

With its bright sun, golden beaches, and thriving coral reef ecosystems, this extraordinary place is one of the most beautiful destinations for visitors. Our trip was fantastic and left us with priceless memories; I can't stop telling my friends about it. If you ever get the chance to visit, remember to bring your aquatic gear so you can participate in water-based activities.

21. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's largest coral systems.

22. Tina and her family preferred the boat tour to the helicopter tour because it was more exciting.

23. They were able to learn about the place by participating in various water activities.

24. Most of the species in the coral reef have similar colours, shapes and sizes.

25. Tina recommends that visitors drink enough water while engaging in the activities.

Of those researched, 43% said they’d been physically bullied within the last month. A bit more than half said they had been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About one third said groups had excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken or broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.

The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied, 25% said they had taken other actions, such as missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to the school life.

Quần bò thì rất được ưa chuộng bởi giới trẻ trên toàn thế giới. Một vài người nói rằng quần bò là “đồng phục” của giới trẻ. Nhưng chúng vẫn chưa luôn phổ biến.

Do đó, những chiếc quần dài đó được gọi là “quần jean”.

Vào năm 1850, một thương gia ở California bắt đầu bán quần dài làm từ vải canvas. Tên của ông ấy là Levi Strauss. Bởi vì chúng quá bền, “quần của Levi” trở nên phổ biến với các thợ đào vàng, nông dân và cao bồi. Sáu năm sau, Levi bắt đầu làm quần dài bằng vải cotton xanh được gọi là vài bông chéo. Nhanh chóng ngay sau đó, các công nhân nhà máy ở Mĩ và Châu Âu bắt đầu mặc quần bò. Vào thời điểm đó, người trẻ chưa thực sự mặc chúng nhiều cho đến mãi sau đó.

Dịch bài đọc:

Thường được cho rằng sân trường là nơi các trò bắt nạt diễn ra khiến cuộc sống học đường của những đứa trẻ khác trở nên tồi tệ, nhưng một cuộc khảo sát mới chỉ ra rằng lớp học là một địa điểm phổ biến khác.

Cuộc khảo sát, được trình bày gần đây tại cuộc họp hàng năm của Hiệp hội sức khỏe cộng đồng Mĩ ở Philadelphia, được dựa trên kết quả của các nghiên cứu từ hơn 10000 học sinh trung học mà trả lời các câu hỏi trực tuyến.

Trong những người được nghiên cứu này, 43% họ đã bị bắt nạt về thể xác trong vòng 1 tháng gần đây. Số còn lại hơn 1 nửa học sinh nói rằng họ đã bị cười nhạo một cách không thân thiện, và một nửa báo bị gọi bằng những cái tên gây tổn thương. Về 1/3 học sinh nói rằng các bè nhóm đã cô lập họ để làm tổn thương cảm xúc của họ. 28% thì nói rằng đồ vật của chúng bị lấy đi hoặc làm vỡ; 21% nói có một vài bạn đã đe dọa làm hại họ. Theo các kết quả đó, 2/3 học sinh nói rằng họ đã bị bắt nạt hơn 1 cách từ hơn tháng trước.

Tác giả của cuộc khảo sát đã đề cập rằng 8% số học sinh mà đã trả lời nói rằng họ đã nghỉ học ít nhất 1 lần trong suốt năm học bởi vì sợ bị bắt nạt, 25% nói rằng họ đã phải hành động khác, như là bỏ qua thời gian nghỉ giải lao, không đi tới phòng tắm hay ăn trưa, bỏ các buổi học, hoặc tránh xa một vài khu vực trong trường để thoát khỏi bị bắt nạt. Hiện tượng bắt nạt đã diễn ra quá nhiều trong cuộc sống ở trường học.

In Britain some families feel that learning at home is better than going to school. Home schooled children can choose when they want to learn. Does this sound more enjoyable than school?

Andrian is a science prodigy and he wants to start university by the age of fourteen. He finds school lessons easier than the ones he expects but making friends is more difficult. At home he can spend more time on his favourite subjects and is preparing to take many of his exams early. Does he ever take a break? “Yes”, he says “I don’t study subjects I’m not interested in.”

Holly’s parents weren’t happy with the local school. So they made a decision to teach her at home. Her favourite is history and she often goes to the museum to study. “I couldn’t do that before”, she says. “This is more interesting than school was.” Her parents are always happy to help her.

Andrian and Holly love learning at home, but some people think that studying at school is more useful because it trains you for adult life. It teaches you to be with people you don’t like, but it can also help you to make friends. Are these things more important than lessons? What do you think?
