Is solar energy operated in Viet Nam?

…………….
Solar (a): belong to the sun
Solar energy (n): energy like electricity received from the sun
Nuclear power (n): power derived from nuclear energy
Solar panel (n): device like walls or doors for receiving solar
radiation
Advanced (a): ahead of time / high level
Roof (n): upper covering of a house
R.O.R
True or false
Now you listen to the new on solar energy and decide whether the
statements are true or false. Check (V) the boxes and correct the false
ones.
1. True
2. False: Most of our electricity comes from the use of
coal,gas,oil or nuclear power.
3. False: It is enough to provide power for total population.
4. True
5. False: in 2015
Gap filling
T: take the tape again
Ss: listen and do task 2
T: call on some Ss
Ss: read the complete sentences
aloud
T: give the correct answers
Ss: write
III. Post-listening
T: give some sentences about
the content of the listening

Ss: repeat after teacher if the
statements are true and stay
silent if statements are false
C. Consolidation+ Homework
T: remind

What is the part of speech of the missing words?
1. The sun can be an effective source of power.
2. Solar energy doesn’t cause population.
3. A lot of countries in the world are alresdy using solar
energy.
4. It is possible to store solar energy for a number of days.
5. Solar panels are installed on the roof of the house to receive
the energy from the sun.
6. We can save natural resources by using solar energy instead
of coal,gas and oil.
Tape transcript:
Are you looking for a cheap,clean,effective source of power that
doesn’t cause population or waste natural resources? Look no further
than solar energy from our sun. At present,most of our electricity
comes from the use of coal,gas,or nuclear power. This power could be
provided by the sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the
Earth is enough to provide power for total population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are
placed on the roof of a house and the Sun’s energy can be stored for a
number of days,so on cloudy day you can use solar energy too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There,all buildings
will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar energy instead
of gas by the year 2015.

True / False repetition drill
1. Solar energy can be cheap and clean.
2. Most of our electricity now comes from nuclear power.
3. The solar energy that gets to the Earth cannot provide
enough power for the world’s population.
4. Solar energy can be used on cloud days.
5. All buildings in Sweden will be heated by solar energy in
2050.
