E.READING
Unit 7: Pollution - Ô nhiễm
Reading 1: Skills1 SGK/trang 12
1./ Read the text and answer the questions.
Water pollution is the contamination of bodies of water such as lakes, rivers,
oceans, and groundwater (the water beneath the Earth’s surface). It is one of the
most
serious
types
of
pollution.
Water pollution can have many different causes. Factories dump industrial
waste into lakes and rivers. Sewage from households is another cause. Farms
using pesticides to kill insects and herbicides to kill weeds can also lead to
water pollution. These factors cause ‘point source’ pollution while pollutants
from storm water and the atmosphere result in ‘non-point source’ pollution.
Water pollution can have dramatic effects. In many poor nations, there are

frequent outbreaks of cholera and other diseases because of people drinking
untreated water. Humans can even die if they drink contaminated water.
Polluted water also causes the death of aquatic animals such as fish, crabs, or
birds. Other animals eat these dead animals and may also get sick. In addition,
herbicides in water can kill aquatic plants and cause further damage to the
environment.
So what should we do to reduce water pollution?
1. What does the second paragraph tell you about?
2. What does the third paragraph tell you about?
3. What is groundwater?
4. What are point source pollutants?
5. What are non-point source pollutants?
6. Why do people use pesticides?
Keys:
1. The second paragraph tells us about the causes of water pollution.
2. The third paragraph tells us about the effects of water pollution.
3. It’s the water beneath the Earth’s surface.
4. They are industrial waste, sewage, pesticides and herbicides.
5. They are pollutants from storm water and the atmosphere.
6. They use herbicides to kill weeds.
2. Read the text again and complete the notes about the effects of water
pollution. Fill each blank with no more than three words.
1. If the drinking water is untreated, an outbreak of

2. People drinking contaminated water may

II)-Read the passage, and do the tasks that follow.
There are many causes that lead to water pollution. One main cause of
this issue is waste water coming from many factories and then being directly
pulled out into water bodies, especially into rivers or seas without any treatment
because this is the most convenient way of disposing waste water. Industrial
waste consists of some kind of chemical substance such as sulphur, which is
harmful for marine life. Lead is known as the main reason for cancer disease.
Cancer has become a popular disease in several communes which is called
“cancer villages. Another cause is the awareness of citizens, people always use
water for many purposes and then they dump waste water or garbage directly
into rivers, canal, and ponds and so on. In 2004, because of bird fly outbreak in
Vietnam, people threw poultry to water body that made water highly polluted.

Space Pollution
The launch of Sputnik I and Yuri Gagarin, the first human being in space,
marked the beginning of space exploration and the beginning of a new and
unfamiliar type of pollution.
Satellites, solar panels, rocket bodies and fragments from space shuttles
that are floating in space and are no longer functional are considered space
debris. This pollution of man-made objects in space affects us here on Earth as
well and will continue to affect us in future travel. In 1978, the Soviet Union
Kosmos 954, which contained a nuclear power source, reentered over Canada
and left debris over an area the size of Austria. In 1969, five Japanese sailors
were injured by pieces of space debris that hit their ship. The largest piece,
weighing one thousand pounds, landed in Australia in 1979.
Many solutions are being considered by scientists and engineers.
However, the challenge to finding a solution lies within all of the nations which
take part in the space exploration.

SCOTLAND - THE LAND OF LEGENDS
Scotland is in the north of Great Britain. It is famous for its rich culture as well
as its amazing natural beauty. Visitors to this land can spend endless days

important inventions like the telephone, the television, penicillin and the
raincoat. Edinburgh, the capital, was the first city in the world to have its own

UNIT 9: NATURAL DISASTERS
Reading 1: SKILLS 1/ SGK trang 32
Natural disasters can be destructive; they can wreak havoc across large areas
and cause loss of life or damage to property. We cannot prevent natural
disasters, but we can prepare for them. The first step is to learn about the risks
in your area and read the information about natural disasters on local
government sites. Next, find out what the rescue and emergency workers advise.
These people have been trained to deal with disasters, have been through lots of
them and know how to help. Make sure you have all the emergency contact
numbers entered in your mobile phone. It is also important that you put together
an emergency supply kit. Your emergency supply kit should include food, water,
medications, personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents and some
money. You may also need some extra clothing if you live in a cold climate.
Natural disasters can force people to leave their homes so you should also
become familiar with the guidelines for evacuation. Plan safe places to meet
your family and get to know the evacuation routes and shelters.

UNIT 10: COMMUNICATION
Reading 1: Skills 1/SGK trang 44
COMMUNICATION IN THE FUTURE: WHAT IS THERE FOR US?
About fifty students in two schools in Ha Noi, Viet Nam and Umea, Sweden
have been exchanging letters in a penfriend project since 2013. ‘I love to write.

You can even stick something on the letter, like this tiny sweet!’ said Linh, from
Ha Noi about the project. From the Sweden end, Anders said, ‘It’s so nice to
open and read real letters!’ But will this be our future communication? It’s said
that in a couple of decades we’ll be using telepathy and holography.
Telepathy uses a tiny device placed into our head. Information will be sent and
received directly to and from our brains. We’ll be communicating just by
thought over the network! Holography, a video-conference technology


with three-dimensional images, will help us interact in real time in
completely different places.
Impressed? Maybe, but not everyone thinks the cyberworld will replace the
real world. Like the children in the penfriend project, I prefer to chat with my
friends over a cup of tea and enjoy their company - life is more meaningful that
way!
1. Look at the highlighted words and match them with their meanings.
1. immediately, without delay
2. to communicate with or react to
3. the opposite of a flat image
4. the digital world
5. a system of connected parts to share information
Keys:
1. Immediately, without delay - in the real time (ngay lập tức, khơng hề trì
hỗn)
2. To communicate with or react to – interact (giao tiếp với hoặc phản ứng với
nhau)
3. The opposite of a flat image - three-dimentional images (trái với hình ảnh
phẳng)
4. The digital world – cyberworld (thế giới số)
5. A system of connected parts to share information – network (một hệ thống

gồm những phần liên kết để chia sẻ thông tin)
2. Answer the following questions.
1. What do the students like about the penfriend project?
2. What are the two ways of future communication mentioned in the text?
Explain how they work.
3. Do you think the writer is happy with this future of communication? How do
you know?
Keys:
1. They love to write and read real letters/ one student likes to send sweets with
the letters as well.
2. They are telepathy and holography. One student uses a tiny device our head
to communicate by thought over the network. Holograp gives three-dimensional
images and we will be able to interact with each other in real time.
3. She prefers to use real, face-to-face communication because she thinks this
makes life more interesting.
