HUSTLING

In the last year the viewing public have learned a great deal about a certain type of criminal in
the extremely successful TV series Hustle. The first Hustle DVD is released this week and it’s
set to be a best-seller!

Hustle is all about the adventures of a group of con artists. Con artists are people who persuade
rich people to give them lots of money to finance projects or plans that do not exist! The ideas
are often very complicated. Sometimes the group create a real background for the trick by hiring
actors, offices or houses to persuade the people they are conning that they are genuine. For them
lying is an art!

In reality con artists are criminals, but in this series the group take money from the rich for a
reason. The rich person might have committed a crime themselves or might just be a really nasty
person! However, unlike the famous Robin Hood, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor,

Imagine you have just been to the Science Museum Summer Exhibition. Write a letter to a friend
and tell him/her about your day. Include the following information:

•what the museum was like

•what you saw

•what you did

Phần trả lời:

Dear …..,

I have just returned home from an exciting trip to England and visiting the Science Museum
Summer Exhibition was one of the fabulous activities of this tour. I cannot wait to share my
experience with you.

We stayed in England for a week and on our second day, we went to the Science Museum
Summer Exhibition, located on Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London SW7 2DD. The
museum's innovative use of new technologies is unprecedented. Initially, I thought that it's not
going to be a fun time but to my surprise, I actually got fascinated by the fabulous collection the
museum has.

The entry fee was $15 but I was lucky to get a free pass from one of my colleagues. This
museum is visited by a large number of local citizens and international tourists. The ground floor
displays the invention of robots, with many robots on display and details on how they were
developed. I learned that theories based on the abacus were further expanded to enhance this
technology. The first floor displays the extinct animals, skeletons of dinosaurs and the history
behind their extermination. This was quite interesting. The second floor has a shop where you
can buy books and souvenirs. Kiosks are placed on all floors which provide extensive
information about the displayed items.

It was a great learning opportunity and a fabulous experience that I will cherish for a long. I wish
you had been with me when I visited the museum.

Why don't you write me back about things you have done recently and enjoyed?

Warm wishes,

USE YOUR MIND

How many tablets do you take? We all take tablets for headaches and other illnesses. But are
they really necessary The big drug companies make the drugs and tablets that we buy to fight our
health problems. But could it be possible that many of these drugs and tablets are only good for
the bank balances of the drug companies and that there are better ways for us to get over our
health problems? According to some experts we should use the power of our minds.

Since the 1950s there have been experiments using placebos. Placebos are tablets which do not
have an effect on the body, so they shouldn’t be able to make us better. In the experiments some
patients in the group receive real drugs for a health problem, while others receive the placebo.
No one knows who has the real drug or who has the placebo. In a significant number of these
experiments the patients who haven’t received the real drug get better! People think this is
perhaps because they are thinking positively and believe they will get better – so they do!

So, can we ‘think’ ourselves better? Perhaps the big drugs companies should start worrying!

Choose the best answers.

1. The text suggests that drug companies

A. sell drugs that are bad for us. B. sell drugs that are too expensive.
C. make a lot of money.
2. It’s possible that
A. we could manage without drugs. B. we could live longer without drugs.
C. we need different sorts of drugs.
3. Placebos
A. are tablets for headaches. B. are experiments done since the 1950s.
C. should not be able to cure health problems.

4. In the experiments,
A. patients know if they don’t receive the real drug.
B. patients know it’s a possibility they haven’t received the real drug.
C. patients know they have been lied to.
5. According to the article
A. some people can get better if they believe they will.
B. some people get better if their doctor believes they will.
C. some people get better because they stop taking drugs.

plethora of meetings and conferences to attends in the morning.

As far as I know, Toronto has several entertainment activities to do such like visit Niagara
waterfalls, Downtown Square, and nightclubs. Therefore, I wish to do any of them during my
stay there. It certainly will be a memorable visit.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
Thanks a lot,

Write an essay on the statement ‘Nuclear power is the only way to ensure that we have enough
energy for the future.’ Include the following information:

•an introduction to the main issues

•arguments and evidence supporting the statement

•arguments and evidence supporting the opposite opinion

•a summary of your own opinion

Nuclear technology brought a variety of contributions to our society. Military powers have used
them to end wars and are still using them as a deterrent. Used for civilian reasons, nuclear energy
provides electricity with no negative impact on the environment. Some people, therefore, believe
that the advantages of nuclear power outweigh the disadvantages. However, in my opinion, these
are all misconceptions, and I don’t support nuclear power.

Nuclear energy can foresee to be a viable solution to the impending scarcity of energy due to the
depletion of fossil fuels. In addition to that, it does not produce greenhouse gases that can pollute
the environment. The cost of the operating expenses is also lower and it can lead to inexpensive
electricity. Meanwhile, nuclear weapons help maintain world peace because nations that possess
them are far less likely to be attacked. Thus, diplomatic talks work out since no country wants to
get into conflict.

Nevertheless, this technology has a fair share of disadvantages. One of them is the radioactive
materials it contains that produce radioactive waste as a by-product. Exposure to it can lead to
diseases like cancer or other disabilities. The surrounding will contaminate, so it is not safe for
any creature to live. Additionally, regarding the atomic bombs, a little error with these can
annihilate a country or can even result at the end of the world.

In conclusion, I believe that nuclear power is the only way to fulfill the next century power
requirement in environment friendly manner. Countries that already have nuclear technology
should help to other countries to build the nuclear power plant in safer way.

Write an essay on the topic ‘Increased surveillance in our society is a bad thing.’
•an introduction to the main issues
•arguments and evidence supporting the statement
•arguments and evidence supporting the opposite opinion
•a summary of your own opinion
Some people believe that increasing surveillance is good for our society, while others are sure
that it is bad that people are being watched. In this essay, I will try to look at this issue.

To my mind, an increase in surveillance affects our society badly. Firstly, personal privacy is
more important than people can think. Public people such as actors, politicians, and others live a
very hard life. They have no other choice but to hide their personal life. If surveillance continues

increasing, everyone will have to hide. Secondly, people rely too much on technology to solve
social problems, while they should be solved in other ways.

Nevertheless, some people believe that an increase in surveillance is a good thing. They are sure
that safety is more important than privacy. More surveillance means the police can catch more
criminals. However, I cannot agree with that point of view because I believe increasing
surveillance is the first step towards a police state. Moreover, the police might misuse the
information.

To summarize, I would like to emphasize that increasing surveillance is a threat to personal
privacy and the wrong way to solve social problems. People should be more aware of their
actions but not because of CCTV cameras.
