V. READING:

ROOTED IN THE PAST
Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they live in. Manners are taught,
learnt and passed from generation to generation.
Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect seniority. When they passed
an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest
person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others.
Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not let another person be punished for
it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were taught that families were strong, and everybody should stick together in
adversity.
Fortunately many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique Vietnamese
culture, and strengthening our society.

VI. READING
1. Read the passage and do the exercise below:
Like other languages, English is always changing, but it changes very slowly. People invent new words, borrow words
from other languages and change the meaning of words as needed. For example, the English word “byte” was invented by a
computer specialist in 1959. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Nahuati, an American Indian language spoken in Mexico.
The word “meat” once referred to food in general. People learn English as well as languages by listening, copying what they
hear, and using the language. Most school children learn their first language easily and sometimes other languages as well.
Are the following statements (T) or false (F)?
1. …….English is changing very quickly.
2. ……Some English words are borrowed from other languages.
3. ……Some English words are invented by computers.
4. ……“Meat” meant food in general.
5. ……One of the way to learn English is copying what you hear.
6. ……It is not easy for children to learn their first language.
2. Read the passage and answer the questions bellow.
Is it necessary to learn English?
It is necessary that we learn English, which is the international language. Approximately 400 million people speak
English as their first language. About the same number use it as a second language. It is an official language in 44 countries.
In many others it is the language of business, commerce and technology. The English language enables us to complete our
higher education. The students who want to specialize in science, economics, medicine, law...should know English, because
most of the text-books in these fields are written in English. It also helps us to improve our knowledge when we read
newspapers and magazines written in English. In the field of international trade, the English language enables us to transact
business with businessmen from other countries.
Questions:
1. How many people speak English as their first language?
.......................................................................................................................
2. Is English a second language in forty-four countries?
.......................................................................................................................
