A: Which sports do you do at school? How often?

(Bạn chơi môn thể thao nào ở trường? Có thường xuyên không?)

B: I play basketball at school, and I have practice twice a week after school.

(Tôi chơi bóng rổ ở trường, và tôi tập hai lần một tuần sau giờ học.)

A: Are there other subjects that are more important than sport? Which ones? Why?

(Có môn nào khác quan trọng hơn thể thao không? Môn nào? Tại sao?)

B: Some people might say that subjects like math and science are more important than sports because they directly impact academic success, while sports are just a leisure activity. However, I believe that both academics and physical activity are important for overall health and success.

(Một số người có thể nói rằng các môn học như toán và khoa học quan trọng hơn thể thao vì chúng ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến thành công trong học tập, trong khi thể thao chỉ là một hoạt động giải trí. Tuy nhiên, tôi tin rằng cả học tập và hoạt động thể chất đều quan trọng đối với sức khỏe và thành công tổng thể.)

A: How could more sport be added to the school timetable without affecting other subjects?

(Làm thế nào để thêm môn thể thao vào thời khóa biểu của trường mà không ảnh hưởng đến các môn học khác?)

B: One solution could be to offer sports clubs or teams during lunch breaks or after school hours, so students can participate without missing class time. Another option could be to incorporate physical activity into existing classes, such as doing quick stretches or exercises between lessons.

(Một giải pháp có thể là cung cấp các câu lạc bộ hoặc đội thể thao trong giờ nghỉ trưa hoặc sau giờ học để học sinh có thể tham gia mà không bỏ lỡ giờ học. Một lựa chọn khác có thể là kết hợp hoạt động thể chất vào các lớp học hiện có, chẳng hạn như thực hiện các động tác giãn cơ nhanh hoặc các bài tập giữa các bài học.)

Topic: The benefits of sports in school and ways to incorporate it without affecting academics.

(Chủ đề: Lợi ích của thể thao trong trường học và cách kết hợp nó mà không ảnh hưởng đến học tập.)

- Opinion: Sports are important for overall health and success, and should not be seen as a distraction from academic work.

(Ý kiến: Thể thao rất quan trọng đối với sức khỏe tổng thể và sự thành công, và không nên bị coi là thứ khiến học tập sao nhãng.)

- Proposed solutions: (Đề xuất giải pháp)

+ Offer sports clubs or teams during lunch breaks or after school hours, so students can participate without missing class time.

(Cung cấp các câu lạc bộ hoặc đội thể thao trong giờ nghỉ trưa hoặc sau giờ học để học sinh có thể tham gia mà không bỏ lỡ giờ học.)

+ Incorporate physical activity into existing classes, such as doing quick stretches or exercises between lessons.

(Kết hợp hoạt động thể chất vào các lớp học hiện có, chẳng hạn như thực hiện các động tác giãn cơ nhanh hoặc các bài tập thể dục giữa các bài học.)

- Conclusion.

four great reasons for high school students to volunteer

Volunteer work presents a great opportunity for teenagers to prepare for the future, as well as to improve their communities. In addition to boosting socializing skills and awareness of local organizations and social issues, high school students who volunteer often may have an advantage over their peers when headed off to college.

1. Gaining New Skills

With each new volunteer activity, students gain new skills. The skills seem to be basic or trivial at the time of training, but may provide fundamental grounds for future success. For example, For example, by managing the receipt, sorting and distributing the donations from community, school students might learn how to use spreadsheets to keep track of inventory. These skills are a great foundation for a job in management, accounting, or running a small business.

2. Giving Time

One of the most charitable acts anyone can do is donate their time and talents. Students who are busy with after-school sports or work to help support their families and still make time to volunteer on evenings or weekends show their outstanding character and resolve to make a difference. High school students may help to mentor younger ones or to assist with one-time special events held on weekends.

3. Showing Responsibility

Just like going to a job, committing to a volunteer position shows a student's responsibility. High school students should get involved in volunteer programs relating to their hobbies in order to naturally build responsibility. For example, those who love to read can find volunteer opportunities with a local library and those who enjoy sports can coach athletics at an after-school program for children.

4. Adding to the Resume

If a high school student's pre-college resume is limited to summer employment at a local restaurant or a cafe. it might be time to add a few lines. Commitment to community volunteer work over a long time shows that a student is willing to work for something without monetary compensation, including a college internship or apprenticeship, which may be a requirement of college programs.

1. According to the passage, who is volunteer work beneficial to?

A. high school students

B. students' communities

C. both students and communities

D. none of them

2. The word 'trivial' in paragraph 2 most closely means ________

A. important

B. significant

C. of little importance

D. fundamental

3. According to the passage, what job will the students' skill of using spreadsheets be useful to?

A. a manager

B. an accountant

C. a business owner

D. all of them

4. Why should busy students make their time to volunteer?

A. to demonstrate their excellent quality

B. to show their outstanding outcomes

B. The programs are related to their interests

C. The programs are available after school

6. What volunteer work may be suitable for a student who likes sports?

A. working in a local library

USAID IN Vietnam

Assisting persons with disabilities has long been one of the top priorities for the U.S. Government in Vietnam. Since 1989, with the establishment of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Leahy War Victims Fund (LWVF), USAID is working to increase the availability of and access to a wide variety of programs benefiting people with disabilities in conflict-affected countries.

In Vietnam, U. S. assistance has helped address medical needs and support the inclusion of Vietnamese with disabilities into all aspects of society. The U.S. Government has contributed more than $80 million in assistance to persons with disabilities, has improved the lives of more than 30,000 persons with disabilities, and has strengthened the Government of Vietnam’s capacity to provide high quality services to those in need. USAID has provided rehabilitation services for tens of thousands of persons with disabilities, education and vocational training including information technology, job placement, supporting parent associations to expand the advocacy for disability issues, and support for the development of legal codes to improve physical accessibility for persons with disabilities in public buildings.

USAID'S work supporting persons with disabilities is also viewed by many as contributing to successful US-Vietnam cooperation to overcome the painful past shared by the two countries. Program activities work in three areas: policy advocacy and coordination, direct assistance including occupational and physical therapy and providing assistive devices, and health systems strengthening, to provide quality disabilities-related care and treatment. Persons with disabilities have been more readily integrated into society by improving their access to health, education and social services. USAID programs support local governments in implementing the national disability law and the U.N. Convention on the rights of Persons with disabilities, and influencing public policies that affect the lives of persons with disabilities.

1. USAID was established in 1989 _____

2. USAID aims to make various programs benefiting all people in conflict-affected countries ___________

3. Addressing medical needs of Vietnamese people is the priority of U.S assistance in Vietnam ___________

4. American government has made an $80 million contribution to help disabled people in Vietnam __________

5. Thanks to USAID, more high quality services are provided to disabled people in Vietnam __________

6. USAID has helped to rehabilitate only a limited number of persons with disabilities in Vietnam __________

7. USAID work makes a great contribution to the success of US-Vietnam cooperation ___________

8. The main focus of USAID activities is providing direct assistance with occupation replacement and health treatment for the disabled. ___________

In my opinion, the concern that teenagers spend too much time on social media is valid. While social media can be a useful tool for communication and staying connected with friends, it can also be addictive and take up too much time that could be spent on other activities.

One solution to this problem is for parents to set limits on their children's screen time and encourage them to engage in other activities such as sports, hobbies, and spending time with family and friends. Additionally, schools could educate students about responsible social media use and the negative effects of spending too much time on it.

Another solution is for social media companies to implement features that encourage users to take breaks and limit their time on the platform. For example, Instagram recently introduced a feature that shows users how much time they spend on the app each day and allows them to set a time limit.

Overall, while social media can be a valuable tool for communication and connection, it is important for teenagers to balance their time spent on it with other activities and for parents and schools to play an active role in encouraging responsible use.

Tạm dịch:

Theo tôi, lo ngại rằng thanh thiếu niên dành quá nhiều thời gian cho mạng xã hội là có cơ sở. Mặc dù mạng xã hội có thể là một công cụ hữu ích để giao tiếp và duy trì kết nối với bạn bè, nhưng nó cũng có thể gây nghiện và chiếm quá nhiều thời gian có thể dành cho các hoạt động khác.

Một giải pháp cho vấn đề này là cha mẹ đặt ra giới hạn về thời gian sử dụng thiết bị của con cái họ và khuyến khích chúng tham gia vào các hoạt động khác như thể thao, sở thích và dành thời gian cho gia đình và bạn bè. Ngoài ra, các trường học có thể giáo dục học sinh về việc sử dụng phương tiện truyền thông xã hội có trách nhiệm và những tác động tiêu cực của việc dành quá nhiều thời gian cho nó.

Một giải pháp khác dành cho các công ty truyền thông xã hội là triển khai các tính năng khuyến khích người dùng nghỉ giải lao và giới hạn thời gian của họ trên nền tảng. Ví dụ: Instagram gần đây đã giới thiệu một tính năng cho người dùng biết họ dành bao nhiêu thời gian cho ứng dụng mỗi ngày và cho phép họ đặt giới hạn thời gian.

Nhìn chung, mặc dù mạng xã hội có thể là một công cụ có giá trị để giao tiếp và kết nối, nhưng điều quan trọng đối với thanh thiếu niên là cân bằng thời gian dành cho mạng xã hội với các hoạt động khác, đồng thời để phụ huynh và nhà trường đóng vai trò tích cực trong việc khuyến khích sử dụng có trách nhiệm.

Social media has become an integral part of teenagers' lives, and many people argue that they spend too much time on these platforms. I believe this concern is valid. Excessive social media use can lead to negative effects such as reduced attention spans, decreased face-to-face interactions, and an increased risk of mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Teenagers may also become overly focused on creating a perfect online image, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

To address this issue, both parents and educators should encourage a more balanced approach to social media use. Setting reasonable limits on screen time and promoting offline activities like sports, reading, and hobbies can help. Schools could also incorporate digital literacy programs that teach students about the impact of social media and the importance of maintaining a healthy balance. Ultimately, it’s important to guide teenagers towards using social media responsibly, ensuring it complements their lives rather than dominates them.

1 Be careful when you choose a leisure activity because some activities take up a lot of time or effort. Then they find that it doesn't interest them as much as they thought it would. Find out what an activity needs before. you begin, and you won't have wasted your time.

2 If you think you have hurt yourself while exercising, stop immediately. Too many people try to continue, despite the pain. As a result, they end up with worse injuries, so it takes them much longer to get better.

Read the article about a type of art. Are the sentences true or false? Write T or F.

When we think of art, we normally picture something which can exist for centuries. But there has always been a type of art which doesn't last. This is often referred to as 'temporary' art. Sculptures which are made of snow or ice, paintings in coloured sand, chalk drawings done on public pavements: it's not that these don't have artistic value, but they are designed to disappear.

Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada is a modern 'temporary' artist, and one who gets a lot of attention for his work. He uses groups of volunteers to help him, and his pieces take a long time to plan and create. But they are mostly talked about because the final results are so impressive. For the past few years, Rodríguez-Gerada has been creating gigantic faces in empty spaces in cities. To people on the ground, it looks like a garden, and it is hard to see any kind of design in it. In fact, GPS mapping is used to set out the design. Then an army of workers use this master plan to create the image which the artist has planned.

In 2014, the artist created an astonishing face on the National Mall in Washington, DC. It covered an area of 25,000 square metres, and it was created because the mall was getting new gardens, and the land wasn't going to be used for a while. The portrait was of a young man of mixed race, and was called Of the Many, One. The artist says that it showed one of the millions of faces that represent the American people. After a while, the sand and soil of the portrait were mixed together, and new lawns were planted in its place. The portrait has disappeared, but it will not easily be forgotten.

1 Temporary art is a new kind of art.

2 Artists use sand or chalk in their artwork so that it will exist for a long time.

3 Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada is an important artist in the field of temporary art.

4 His work is very quick to create.

5 He uses maps to plan his artwork.

6 A lot of people help him to create his art.

7 Jorge's artwork called Of the Many, One was part of a new garden design for the National Mall.

The U.S. Government has contributed more than $80 million in assistance to persons with disabilities, has improved the lives of more than 30,000 persons with disabilities, and has strengthened the Government of Vietnam’s capacity to provide high quality services to those in need. USAID has provided rehabilitation services for tens of thousands of persons with disabilities, education and vocational training including information technology, job placement, supporting parent associations to expand the advocacy for disability issues, and support for the development of legal codes to improve physical accessibility for persons with disabilities in public buildings.

USAID'S work supporting persons with disabilities is also viewed by many as contributing to successful US-Vietnam cooperation to overcome the painful past shared by the two countries. Program activities work in three areas: policy advocacy and coordination, direct assistance including occupational and physical therapy and providing assistive devices, and health systems strengthening, to provide quality disabilities-related care and treatment. Persons with disabilities have been more readily integrated into society by improving their access to health, education and social services. USAID programs support local governments in implementing the national disability law and the U.N. Convention on the rights of Persons with disabilities, and influencing public policies that affect the lives of persons with disabilities.

1 The interviewer thinks young people

(Người phỏng vấn nghĩ rằng những người trẻ)

=> C should only set up small businesses.

(chỉ nên thành lập doanh nghiệp nhỏ.)

Thông tin: 

And these are not just little, part-time businesses. They’re very successful companies which sometimes become global brands. That’s what I really don’t understand. (Và đây không chỉ là những công việc kinh doanh nhỏ, bán thời gian. Chúng là những công ty rất thành công, đôi khi trở thành thương hiệu toàn cầu. Đó là điều mà tôi thực sự không hiểu. )

2 The interviewer doesn't understand

(Người phỏng vấn không hiểu)

=> C why young people would want to start businesses.

(tại sao những người trẻ muốn bắt đầu kinh doanh.)

Thông tin: 

How can a very young person, with little understanding of how business works and not much knowledge of money, come up with a good idea for a business? (Làm sao mà những người ở độ tuổi rất trẻ, với thực ít kiến thức về sách thức vận hành của kinh doanh và không có nhiều hiểu biết về tiến bạc có thể nảy ra một ý tưởng kinh doanh tốt được nhỉ?)

3 Lisa says that very young people

(Lisa nói rằng những người rất trẻ)

=> C have the right qualities for creating businesses.

(Có tố chất phù hợp để tạo dựng doanh nghiệp.)

=> Thông tin: 

OK, you’re falling into the trap that most people fall into. You assume that it takes a lot of experience and a business education to create a new business. But in my experience of working with young entrepreneurs, exactly the opposite is true. Young people don’t have a lot of business knowledge, but this can sometimes be an advantage. In fact, too much business education and experience often makes it harder to think creatively. This is because you’ve been told again and again what the so-called ‘right’ answers are, so you’re not able to look at all the other options. (OK, bạn đang rơi vào cái bẫy mà hầu hết mọi người đều mắc phải rồi đó. Các bạn cho rằng cần có nhiều kinh nghiệm và kiến thức kinh doanh để tạo ra một doanh nghiệp mới. Nhưng theo kinh nghiệm làm việc với các doanh nhân trẻ của tôi, điều hoàn toàn ngược lại mới đúng. Những người trẻ tuổi không có nhiều kiến thức kinh doanh, nhưng điều này đôi khi có thể là một lợi thế. Trên thực tế, quá nhiều kiến thức và kinh nghiệm về kinh doanh thường khiến bạn khó suy nghĩ sáng tạo hơn. Điều này là do bạn đã được nói đi nói lại về cái gọi là câu trả lời 'đúng', vì vậy bạn không thể suy xét đến các lựa chọn khác.)

I = Interviewer 

L = Lisa 

I Today in the studio we have well-known psychologist and business expert, Lisa Williams. She’s going to tell us why so many young people are creating their own businesses. Welcome to the show, Lisa.

Thanks, Todd.

Lately, we’ve been hearing about younger and younger people creating their own businesses. And these are not just little, part-time businesses. They’re very successful companies which sometimes become global brands. That’s what I really don’t understand. How can a very young person, with little understanding of how business works and not much knowledge of money, come up with a good idea for a business?

Well first of all, the question isn’t how it’s possible, but why it doesn’t happen more often. You see, young people are ideal candidates to come up with business ideas that no one else has thought of. They’re also the perfect people to turn these ideas into reality.

I Really? But they haven’t got any business experience.

OK, you’re falling into the trap that most people fall into. You assume that it takes a lot of experience and a business education to create a new business. But in my experience of working with young entrepreneurs, exactly the opposite is true. Young people don’t have a lot of business knowledge, but this can sometimes be an advantage. In fact, too much business education and experience often makes it harder to think creatively. This is because you’ve been told again and again what the so-called ‘right’ answers are, so you’re not able to look at all the other options.

So you’re talking about creative thinking ... thinking ‘outside the box’?

That’s a saying that we all hear too often ... but yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. If you don’t already have a set of ‘right’ answers to various problems, you are free to think of options that no one else would think of.

I = Người phỏng vấn 

L = Lisa 

I Tôi Hôm nay trong phòng quay chúng tôi đã mời nhà tâm lý học và chuyên gia kinh doanh nổi tiếng, Lisa Williams. Cô ấy sẽ cho chúng ta biết lý do tại sao rất nhiều người trẻ đang thành lập doanh nghiệp của riêng họ. Chào mừng đến với chương trình, cô Lisa.

L Cảm ơn, Todd.

I Gần đây, chúng ta đã nghe nói về việc những người trẻ tuổi thành lập doanh nghiệp của riêng họ. Và đây không chỉ là những công việc kinh doanh nhỏ, bán thời gian. Chúng là những công ty rất thành công, đôi khi trở thành thương hiệu toàn cầu. Đó là điều mà tôi thực sự không hiểu. Làm thế nào mà một người còn rất trẻ, ít hiểu biết về cách thức hoạt động của kinh doanh và không có nhiều kiến thức về tiền bạc, lại nảy ra một ý tưởng kinh doanh hay được vậy?

L Trước hết, câu hỏi không phải là làm thế nào nó có thể xảy ra, mà là tại sao nó không xảy ra thường xuyên hơn. Bạn thấy đấy, những người trẻ tuổi là những ứng cử viên lý tưởng để đưa ra những ý tưởng kinh doanh mà chưa ai nghĩ đến. Họ cũng là những người hoàn hảo để biến những ý tưởng này thành hiện thực.

I Vậy sao? Nhưng họ chưa có kinh nghiệm kinh doanh mà.

L OK, bạn đang rơi vào cái bẫy mà hầu hết mọi người đều mắc phải rồi đó. Các bạn cho rằng cần có nhiều kinh nghiệm và kiến thức kinh doanh để tạo ra một doanh nghiệp mới. Nhưng theo kinh nghiệm làm việc với các doanh nhân trẻ của tôi, điều hoàn toàn ngược lại mới đúng. Những người trẻ tuổi không có nhiều kiến thức kinh doanh, nhưng điều này đôi khi có thể là một lợi thế. Trên thực tế, quá nhiều kiến thức và kinh nghiệm về kinh doanh thường khiến bạn khó suy nghĩ sáng tạo hơn. Điều này là do bạn đã được nói đi nói lại về cái gọi là câu trả lời 'đúng', vì vậy bạn không thể suy xét đến các lựa chọn khác.

Vậy là bạn đang nói về tư duy sáng tạo... tư duy ‘bên ngoài khuôn khổ’ đúng không?

L Đó là câu nói mà tất cả chúng ta đều nghe quá nhiều rồi... nhưng vâng, đó chính xác là điều mà tôi đang nói đến. Nếu bạn chưa có được một tập hợp các đáp án 'đúng' cho các vấn đề khác nhau, bạn có thể thoải mái nghĩ ra các phương án mà không ai khác có thể nghĩ tới.
