Unit 1: My Hobbies
Listening (Page 13)
Tape script

Ngoc: Today we’re talking about your hobby, collecting glass bottles. It’s quite
unusual, isn’t it?
Mi: Yes, it is.
Ngoc: When did you start your hobby?
Mi: Two years ago. I watched a TV programme about this hobby and liked it right
away.
Ngoc: Do you share this hobby with anyone?
Mi: Yes, my mum loves it too.
Ngoc: Is it difficult?
Mi: No, it isn’t. I just collect all the beautiful glass bottles after we use them. My
grandmother also gives me some.
Ngoc: What do you do with these bottles?
Mi: I can make flower vases or lamps form them. I keep some unique bottles as they
are and place them in different places in the house. They become home
decorations.
Ngoc: Do you think you will continue your hobby in the future?

So, can we smile more to live longer?

A:

Should we eat more fresh fish, like sushi?

B:

No. Sushi is great. But we shouldn’t eat too much.

A:

And sitting too close to the TV?

B:

No, it’s not how close you sit. It’s how long you watch TV for.

A:

How about picking up food we drop. Is it ok?

B:

No, that’s a myth! You shouldn’t eat it, ever!

A:

OK, last one. Do vegetarians get less vitamins?

B:

No, that’s false. You don’t need meat to get your vitamins.

A: Were you sporty as a child?
B: No, I always felt sick and weak. I had allergies too, so I always had a runny nose,

and itchy skin.
A: When did that change?
B: My friends started doing sports. I wanted to, too. My sports instructor said 'Do
more exercise, or continue to feel sick. It's up to you!'
A: Was it easy?
B: No! It was hard. I did more exercise, so my body ached. But slowly I felt better.
A: What do you do now?

B: I do triathlons around the world. It's a tough competition. You have to swim, run,

and do more exercise. Then you'll be ready.

discovered.

He was born on 25th October 1881 in Malaga, Spain. He showed a great love and
skill for drawing from an early age, and at the age of seven, Picasso received formal
artistic training from his father. At 13, he was admitted to a School of Fine Arts in
Barcelona. In 1896, he completed 'Portrait of Aunt Pepa', which is considered one
of the greatest works of Spain. During his life, he produced an enormous number
of works of art: about 50,000 in total, including 1,885 paintings. Several paintings

Austin Nguyen:
Hi, I'm celebrity chef Austin Nguyen and I want to share with you a few of my
favourite dishes.
One of my favourites has to be sticky rice because we can eat it in so many

ways - with a pinch of salt, with some sliced sausage. Perfect!
I eat simply at home. Just some fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, but if I'm eating
out, a wonderful grilled tuna steak is my favourite dish. Delicious! Next...

Last weekend I went to a seafood restaurant on Main Street. It's great. To begin, I
had a salad. It was fresh with a great house dressing. My main dish was fish. I really
enjoyed the spices it was cooked in. The vegetables were good - very fresh and tasty.
For dessert, I had ice cream. It's usually delicious but this time it was much too
sweet. I couldn't eat much because I am on a diet. I had a cup of tea to drink. Oh, it
was delicious.

Unit 7: Traffic
Communication (Page 11)
Tape script
The right side is the wrong side!
Do you know that there are many countries in the world where the traffic rule is to
keep to the left? Some of these are the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Thailand,
and Malaysia. There are different reasons for this. One is that some countries used
the same system as the UK. Another is that many people are right-handed!

Tape script
The most common traffic problem in cities around the world is traffic jams. São
Paulo in Brazil has the world's worst daily traffic jams. According to reports, the
historical congestion record was set on June 1, 201 2, with 295 kilometres of vehicle
queues around the city during the evening rush hour. Some other big cities also
suffer from serious congestion in the rush hour.
The main cause of this traffic problem is the increase of the population in big cities.
So the number of people using the roads has risen several times. The second reason
is that the roads are narrow and sometimes are not good enough. Also, many road
users have no respect for traffic rules. As a result, this problem is getting worse and
worse.

Unit 9: Festivals Around The World
Communication (Page 31)
Tape script
Thanksgiving (also called Turkey Day) is a seasonal holiday held annually to give

thanks to God for successful harvests. In the USA the holiday is celebrated on the
fourth Thursday of November. In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of
October because the harvest there generally ends earlier.
Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast among family and friends. Not
only adults but children take part in the food preparation. Traditional foods are
turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry
sauce. After the feast people often do some other activities. Some like to go for a
walk. Some take naps. Others play board or card games together. A lot of people
take this opportunity to help the less fortunate. They volunteer to cook and serve
food to homeless people, spend time with sick people in hospitals or help a needy
family.

Last summer holiday my family went back to the UK and we went to a music festival
on the Isle of Wight. It is one of the most famous music festivals in our country,
which takes place every June. When we got there, I was impressed by the huge
number of people. You know about sixty thousand people went to the event. We

didn't stay at a hotel but put up a tent in the camp site. It was lots of fun. We listened
to a lot of songs by many bands such as The Killers and The Stone Roses. Guess
what? We met Jon Bon Jovi! He's my dad's favourite singer. He and his band stirred
up the crowd in nearly three hours with the hit songs. We also went to the Bohemian
Woods, a beautiful woodland down by the river. There we enjoyed a mix of good
music from around the world and escaped the busy and noisy festival for a while.

Ms Hoa: Oh, hi Mi and Nick. Come in. It's the first time you've come to my house,
isn't it?
Mi: Yes, it is. Wow, look! Ms Hoa, those photos on the wall are so beautiful. I can see
you among lots of tulips.
Nick: Where did you take the photos? At the Tulip Time Festival in Holland? I've been
there once.
Ms Hoa: No, these photos were taken at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival in Melbourne,
Australia. You know I went to Melbourne last September to visit my son.
Mi: What did you do there, Ms Hoa?

Ms Hoa: There were a lot of interesting activities. Look at these people in traditional
Dutch costumes and clogs. I saw them perform Dutch folk dancing. I also enjoyed
delicious Dutch food and drinks.
Nick: I saw people in traditional clothes and dancing in the Tulip Time Festival, but
I didn't try Dutch food and drinks. I liked the parades - the amazing floats were my
favourite thing.
Ms Hoa: I didn't watch any parades, but I listened to folk music there…

Unit 10: Sources of Energy
Listening (Page 45)
Tape script
Energy is fundamental to human beings. Many poor people in developing countries
do not have modern sources of energy like electricity or natural gas, with which
their life can be improved.
People who live in mountainous areas have to gather wood for fuel. This takes a lot

of time. For many people living in rural areas, biogas is the largest energy resource
available. The main use of biogas is for cooking and heating, but it can also provide
energy for public transport. As biogas is smoke-free, it helps solve the problem of
indoor air pollution. Moreover, it's made from plant waste and animal manure.
They cost almost nothing.

www.minh-pham.info | 19


The tendency to use renewable energy sources in developing countries is on the
increase as n0n-renewable ones are running out. In the future, the wind and the
sun will be used as the most important environmentally friendly energy sources.

I'm here at Noi Bai Airport to tell you about this amazing flying car. It just landed
here at the airport 15 minutes ago.
So this vehicle is called TF-XTM. It was designed in 2013. But it will take a couple of
years before you can own yours. It's a kind of driverless car and airplane. It has
many benefits. With its automated system, the car can avoid traffic. It drives at 300
kph impressive, isn't it? It has four seats, so your family or friends can join the ride.
The coolest thing is learning to drive a TF-XTM is simple: you'll be able to do it just
after a few hours!

The film SIumdog Millionaire is based on a book called Q & A, written by Vikas
Swarup. It's about a young man from an Indian slum who wins a lot of money on
an Indian game show. However, the producers of the show think it is impossible for
a boy from the slums - a 'slumdog'- to be so smart. They are sure he cheated. The
film looks beautiful. It's full of emotion, and it's much more gripping than other
films I've seen. Five stars!

Nam:

What are you doing, Thong?

Phong:

Searching for the meaning of 'footprint'.

Nam:

It's the print our feet leave on the ground.

Phong:

That's the usual meaning. But this is about the effects we leave behind

after our actions.
Nam:

Can you give an example?

Phong:

Certainly. If you take care of the trees around you, if you plant a new
tree every year . . .

Nam:

So?

Phong:

There will be a lot of greenery around you.

Nam:

And this is a footprint?

Phong:

Yes. You leave a big footprint.

Nam:

Oh!
