LIFE IN AN ISLAND
Off the west coast of Scotland, there are many small island communities. Life in these communities is very different from life in the big cities. People from the cities often say that life in the islands is slow and boring. But the island people tell a different story.
Many families live by fishing or farming, and people usually have more than one job. Many families have rooms for tourists who come to visit the islands in summer. The tourists go walking and fishing and play sports. Sometimes they study Gaelic, the local language. And they stay in a 'bed and breakfast' with a local family or in one of the small island hotels. In the long summer evenings, people meet and talk together. They tell stories of where they live and what they do.
The children on the islands go to small local schools. They have their classes in English and Gaelic. Sometimes there are only eight or ten children in one school! When they are twelve, they go to secondary school in a bigger town on the island. When they finish that school, they decide whether to go to university in a big city, or to stay and work on the island.
1. City people and island people have the same opinion about island life. F
2. People on the islands mainly do one job. F
3. Tourists can stay with local families in summer. T

Do you think the Maori system is a good idea? Why?/ Why not?
=> Yes , I do. Because it helps young people to change their behaviour, it tries to bring something positive from a negative situation, and most of the time it succeeds.
Đúng ra phải có từ 50 -> 70 từ cơ.

I think the Maori system is a good idea because it can educate young people without violence. That way won't give any bad memory to the youth. The youth will learn how to say sorry to other people. But some young wouldn't understand. They still think their actions are correct. Or because they don't afraid of saying sorry. They still do it after they have apologised. So I think Maori people should have a stricter system.

THE BENEFITS OF TV
TV is now taking on more and more importance in our lives. For many it is now the main source of entertainment and they use it as a form of relaxation after a hard day at work or school. It is a way of forgetting about reality for a few hours. Most people like to watch comedy programmes or game shows, which do not require too much concentration. However, there are also many people who see TV differently. They use it to find out about the outside world, as a source of information. They switch it on when it’s time for the news or when there is a documentary on an interesting subject. Some people even learn history and literature by watching historical dramas or adaptations of novels. A thirteen-year-old girl who was found to have a very good general knowledge and was thought to read a lot said, “But I learnt it all from TV.” This is one interesting advantage of TV that many parents overlook.

Mọi người ai cũng có một số người quen biết, nhưng không ai có nhiều bạn cả. Bởi vì tình bạn thân thiết thật sự thì không có nhiều; và có nhiều người dường như không thể có được tình bạn. Để cho tình bạn được thân thiết và bền vững, cả hai người bạn phải có một số phẩm chất rất đặc biệt.
Phẩm chất đầu tiên là tính không ích kỉ. Một người chỉ biết quan tâm đến lợi ích và cảm nghĩ của riêng mình không thể là một người bạn thật sự được. Tình bạn là mối quan hệ hai phía, nó tồn tại dựa trên cơ sở cho và nhận, và không có tình bạn nào có thể trường tồn, nếu như chỉ có một bên cho và một bên nhận.
Tính kiên định là phẩm chất thứ hai của tình bạn. Một số người dường như không có tính kiên định. Họ hăng hái theo đuổi một sở thích, nhưng chẳng bao lâu sau họ cảm thấy chán nó và bắt đầu cảm thấy bị cuốn hút bởi một mục tiêu mới nào đó. Những người không lập trường và không kiên định như vậy thì không thể có được tình bạn bền lâu được.
Lòng trung thành là phẩm chất quan trọng thứ ba. Hai nsười bạn phải trung thành với nhau, và họ phải biết nhau quá tường tận đến nỗi không có điều gì nghi ngờ giữa họ. Chúng ta đừng nghĩ nhiều về những người sẵn sàng tin vào những lời đồn đại, những chuyện ngồi lê đôi mách nói xấu bạn bè. Những ai dễ dàng bị ảnh hưởng bởi những lời xì xào không thể nào là những người bạn tốt.
Sự tin tưởng có lẽ là phẩm chất thứ tư. Bạn bè phải có sự tin tưởng lẫn nhau để mỗi người có thể cảm thấy an toàn khi kể cho nhau về những bí mật riêng tư của mình, Nhưng lại có những người nhiều chuyện không thể giữ kín chuyển của mình hoặc của người khác. Những người như vậy sẽ khône bao giờ kết bạn dài lâu.
Cuối cùng, giữa bạn bè phải có sự cảm thông hoàn toàn, cảm thông vì mục đích, sở thích, niềm vui, nỗi buồn, mưu cầu và ước mơ của nhau. Và ở đâu không có sự thông cảm nhau, thì ở đó không có tình bạn.
Dịch
Mọi người đều có một số người quen, nhưng không ai có nhiều bạn bè, cho tình bạn thật sự là không phổ biến, và có rất nhiều người dường như không có khả năng đó. Đối với một tình bạn gần gũi và lâu dài, cả những người bạn phải có một số phẩm chất rất đặc biệt.
Chất lượng đầu tiên là không ích kỷ. Một người chỉ quan tâm đến lợi ích và cảm xúc của riêng mình không thể là một người bạn thật sự. Tình bạn là một tình hai mặt; nó lives bởi cho và mất, và không có tình bạn có thể kéo dài duy nhất mà là tất cả cho một bên và tất cả đi vào khác.
Kiên trì là đặc tính thứ hai. Một số người dường như không được liên tục. Họ mất sự quan tâm với sự nhiệt tình, nhưng họ sẽ sớm mệt mỏi của nó và cảm thấy sự hấp dẫn của một số đối tượng mới. người thay đổi và không chắc chắn như vậy là không có khả năng của một tình bạn suốt đời.
Lòng trung thành là chất lượng thứ ba. Hai người bạn phải trung thành với nhau, và họ phải biết nhau rất rõ rằng không thể có mối nghi ngờ giữa họ. Chúng tôi không nghĩ rằng nhiều người đã dễ dàng tin những tin đồn và tin đồn về bạn bè của họ. Những người dễ bị ảnh hưởng bởi những tin đồn không bao giờ có thể là những người bạn tốt.
Niềm tin là có lẽ là chất lượng thứ tư. Có phải là tin tưởng lẫn nhau giữa những người bạn, để mỗi người có thể cảm thấy an toàn khi nói sự khác các bí mật của mình. Có những người không thể giữ bí mật, hoặc là của riêng mình hoặc của người khác. Những người như vậy sẽ không bao giờ giữ một người bạn lâu.
Cuối cùng, phải có một sự đồng cảm hoàn hảo giữa những người bạn - đồng cảm với mục tiêu của nhau, thích, niềm vui, nỗi buồn, theo đuổi và những thú vui. Trường thông cảm lẫn nhau như vậy không tồn tại, tình bạn là không thể.
