One of the ways we assess students on this course is to give them a level related to the Common European Framework (CEFR). This framework is now being used in 16 universities in Vietnam. The goal of this course is for students to reach at least B1 or B2 if you want to progress to IELTS (see attachment below). This means you are an independent user of English. You are assessed throughout the course in every lesson and you will be required to produce an e-portfolio showing your best work (a website). I will explain how to do this later in the course. For now, you should start to keep a journal of your learning here. This should reflect what you have learned. Please write about your reflections on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Feelings about what you have learned today The role of the CRC and Vietnam Something new and interesting that you learned today and that you didn't know before. Please write150-200 words and check your work BEFORE you turn it in.

Key to this technique is stem cells, which are master cells that have the potential to become any other kind of cell in the body e.g. nerve cells, blood, heart muscle or even brain cells. Stem cells themselves have generated a lot of controversy as it was believed that only human embryos could provide them. However, it now appears that adult stem cells offer the same possibility. This would mean that a patient who suffered a heart attack could provide doctors with his adult stem cells which could then be implanted back into his heart and used to create heart muscle, replacing the muscle that was damaged.

In the future, biotechnologists hope that stem cells could be used to grow entire organs. In this way biotechnology offers the hope of revolutionising medical treatment. In this brief overview of the history of biotechnology we have jumped from making bread to making human organs - an enormous leap- and it is clear that these modern practices raise many controversial issues.

Most of the countries in the world have searched for alternative sources of energy in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste.

Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil, shale and coal tars. But today that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power heat from the earth is also being tested.

Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only five percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of the temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

1. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. The use of water productions for energy

B. Efficient ways of disposing of waste

C. The search for Alternative Sources of Energy

D. New Discoveries in Geothermal Power

2. Fifty years ago one third of the electricity in the United States was provided by_________.

A. wind B. waste products C. oil D. water

3. In the second paragraph, the phrase “synthetic fuels” could be best replaced by which of the following _________.

A. biological fuels B. artificial made fuels

C. low burning fuels D. fast burning fuels

4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an alternative source of energy?

A. electricity B. burning of garbage

C. geothermal power D. synthetics fuels

5. According to the author, the impracticability of using coal, oil shale and coal tars as sources of energy is due to _________.

A. their being money consuming B. their being time consuming

C. the scarcity of sources D. the lack of technology

FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES

Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a

“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the mo ney for the family.

He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife

agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.

Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from

grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.

Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let

people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children.

Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.

These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their

children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Sixty years ago, most women ____________

  • A. went out to work
  • B. had no children
  • C. did not do much housework
  • D. were housewives
