In the 1970s, skateboarding suddenly became very popular. At first, skateboarders moved slowly on

skateboarding skillfully up ramps and doing tricks in the air. This is called ‘ramp’ skateboarding. Then they
started skateboarding and doing tricks on the street. This was ‘street-style’ skateboarding – a combination of

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and

buy summer flowers in winter ad eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could
only eat things at certain times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my
childhood with the seasons.
We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it
must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country
miss a lot of things about modern life. In fact, in my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country,


they miss real life.

ex-Prime
Minister Pham Van Dong, Doctor Ton That Tung, and poet Xuan Dieu used to be the school’s students.
Today the school is still located in the same area, and has maintained its prestige, as well as its reputation
as one of the top schools in Ha Noi. It is very difficult to be admitted to the school. Every year, there are

"Li xi" is an important part in Vietnam’s customs of Tet Festival, especially with children. It is a small
amount of money that can bring good fortune to the upcoming year. However, "li xi" is not limited only on
the first day, but can even last to the 9th or 10th day of Tet Festival, and given when the adults first met the
kids.
Besides the money, the tiny red envelope also has its own meaning. It represents the secrecy and privacy to
avoid comparison as adults want children to regard the money as the gift of New Year, instead of being
jealous of receiving less than other kids. The red color, the most popular color appearing in Vietnamese
festivals, signifies the prosperity and great luck according to Asian’s beliefs.
In the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year, children and parents will visit grandparents’ home,
wishing for a happy new year and great health, showing respect and gratitude, and giving gifts. After that, it
is grandparents and adults’ turn to give children lucky money to welcome their new age.

The environment is everything around us, both natural and made by man. The biggest problem in the world
today is the destruction of the natural environment. This is a complicated problem. We burn fuel, and this
causes air pollution. We throw away plastic bags, containing toys and other objects. These stay in the
environment, they are not like paper or wood that slowly disappear. We have made thousands of new
chemicals. Factories that make or use chemicals always have chemical wastes. These are often poisonous,
and they also stay in the environment. Since 1945 some countries have been testing nuclear bombs in the air
and underground. These explosions in the air cause nuclear fall-out. The fall-out causes cancer and kills
animals and people. Nuclear power plants that make electricity also produce dangerous wastes and have
accidents that can be very disastrous.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many
sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants,
including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial effluent which pours into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the

government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore. Water is free
to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today,


many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last
beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
1. According to the writer, one environmental problem in the world today is ________ .
A. acid rain B. industrial pollution.

manners both offline and online. You should ask someone's permission before posting anything about them
on the web or sharing their emails, photo, or chat conversations. You need to make sure they know you are
sharing it and agree with it.

If your friend gives you permission to forward something, be sure to protect them by removing any personal

want to share.

HURRICANE KATRINA
New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive
architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals.
However, due to its location along the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of the
city below sea level, the city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were built
to protect the city.
Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in the
history of New Orleans, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains for several days. As

a result, water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured directly into the city. Soon 80
percent of the city was under the water. People scrambled to rooftops for safety, desperate for food and
drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt Hotel were seen flying out of the hotel
windows. The loss was tremendous. Most of the major roads and bridges were destroyed, and houses
collapsed. Nearly 2,000 people were killed. After the storm, several natural grounds for the breeding and
migrating of different species of animals and birds were permanently lost.

after he had read a science book which his mother showed him. In 1869, he borrowed some money and
began to make inventions. In 1876 he built a new laboratory so that he could spend all his time inventing. He
planned to turn out minor inventions every ten days and a “big trick” every six months. He developed many
