There is a common expression in English language referring to a blue moon. When
people say that something happens "only once in blue moon,” they mean that it happens
only very rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around for at least a
century and a half; there are references to this expression that date from the second half
of the nineteenth century.
The expression " a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in
any given calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is
particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead,
it is called a blue moon because it is so rare- The moon needs a little more than 29 days to
complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every month except Febmary
has more than 29 days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February,
which will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at the very end of January
and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is or the occasion when a given
calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen
very often, only three or four times in a decade.
The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of
their colon however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into existence in
reference to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain
natural phenomena of gigantic proportions can actually change the appearance of the
moon from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the
atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular
occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today.
Another example occurred more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in
the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.

An intellectual breakthrough, brilliant though it may be, does not automatically ensure
that the transition is made from theory to practice. Despite the fact that rockets had been
used sporadically for several hundred years, they remained a relatively minor artefact of
civilisation until the twentieth century. Prodigious efforts, accelerated during two world
wars, were required before the technology of primitive rocketry could be translated into
the reality of sophisticated astronauts. It is strange that the rocket was generally ignored
by writers of fiction to transport their heroes to mysterious realms beyond the Earth, even
though it had been commonly used in fireworks displays in China since the thirteenth
century. The reason is that nobody associated the reaction principle with the idea of
travelling through space to a neighbouring world.

The concept of the rocket, or rather the mechanism behind the idea of propelling an
object into the air, has been around for well over two thousand years. However, it wasn’t
until the discovery of the reaction principle, which was the key to space travel and so
represents one of the great milestones in the history of scientific thought, that rocket
technology was able to develop. Not only did it solve a problem that had intrigued man
for ages, but, more importantly, it literally opened the door to exploration of the universe.

These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as
bees have made their way from South America to North America. Killer bees are reputed
to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts say that their aggression may have
been somewhat inflated.
The killer bee is a hybrid—or combination- of the very mild European strain of honeybee
and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when African strain
was imported into Brazil in 1955. The African bees were brought into Brazil because
their aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their
European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and
continued working longer in inclement weather than did the European bees.
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities
have occurred. Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee
is actually not at all as aggressive as the pure African bee. They also point out that the
attacks have a chemical cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is
not aggressive by nature. However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away, it leaves
its stinger embedded in the victim. In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the
chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees. As other bees
approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other
bees and causing them to sting. The new sting create more of the chemical isoamyl
6


acetate, which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim. Killer bees
tend to travel in large cluster or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the
production of isoamyl acetate.

Câu hỏi 1
Read the text and decide that the statement is TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN
When you think about it, it's amazing that anyone gets away with a carefree holiday. It
seems there is limitless potential for things to go wrong, from flight delays and lost
luggage to poor accommodation.
A recent questionnaire showed that a third of people who replied had a complaint about
their holiday last year. And when these unhappy holidaymakers discussed the problem
with their tour company nearly half said it involved time and effort on their part to
resolve things.
When asked exactly what the reasons were for their dissatisfaction top of the list was
flight delays and 20 per cent of holiday-makers to Europe said they had to wait up to an
hour.
More worrying is the fact that almost a third of holiday-makers who had complained said
it was about the apartment or hotel room they had been allocated. There is an enormous
variety of holiday accommodation and we recommend that consumers look for places
that have been inspected by the Tourist Boards; this way they can have the confidence

that they will get the type of accommodation they are looking for. It seems that tour
companies now offer more honest accurate brochures though. Eight-five per cent of
10


holiday-makers who responded to our questionnaire said the description offered by the
company matched the place they visited and the facilities provided.
This is good news for the industry and for holiday-makers. A holiday is a major purchase
- yet it's one we can't try before we pay. All we have to go on is the brochure and it's a
credit to tour operators that they now contain more detail.
OUR ADVICE
DO be realistic. No one should be palmed off with a poor standard of service, food or
accommodation even if you paid a rock- bottom price for a last- minute break. However,
be reasonable - you won't get a room with the best view in town if you've paid a budget
price.
DO complain to the right person. Moaning to the waiter about a week's worth of
appalling food, then writing an indignant letter when you get back home won't have the
same impact as airing your grievances at the time.
DO get evidence for a serious problem such as having a building site instead of the
promised swimming pool below your window. Take a photo to back up your case.
DON'T write and complain for the sake of it. Letters can be powerful as long as they're
about something you have a good reason to complain about.
DON'T lose your temper. Easier said than done, but you're more likely to get results if
you state your case firmly, explain why you think there's a problem then suggest a
reasonable solution.
Hotel staff can advise you on who you should complain to.

Use a variety of relevant background texts, refer to your lecture notes and heed any

advice given by your lecturer. When you collect material, always ask yourself what
questions need to be answered and then take good notes in your own words. Begin notes
on each source on a new page and do not forget to record details of the author, title of the
book and date of publication. Remember that copying words from another writer's work
without acknowledging the source constitutes the serious crime of plagiarism.

One to consider if you’re going to the States, although, after I'd worked through half the
booking process, it returned an error message without telling me which element of the
procedure needed adjusting. I got there in the end. There is an inspirational section with

Holtravel clients and a package of free gifts to sweeten the deal. It also commits to no
insurance excess on any of their rentals anywhere.
Hot.org
Straightforward to navigate, with plenty of information on rental requirements and rules
of operation. There are photographs of the types of vehicles available, leaving no doubt
what a 'premium' or 'compact' car is. It took me just seconds to start reserving a car but
then the whole thing ground to a halt and refused all attempts to access the reservation

Avoids unnecessary embellishments online but the booking procedure is as good as it

and undermines the relevant parts of the essay. In coursework and assessment essays not
written under examination conditions, do not forget to acknowledge your sources in a
bibliography.
