UNIT
1: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF …
Hello
everyone, my name is Lam. I’m a cyclo driver in HCM City. I usually have a busy
working day. I get up at five thirty in the morning. I start work at six. My
first passenger is usually an old man. I take him from District 1 to District
5. After I drop him at a cafe near HCM City College of Education, I pedal to
Thai Binh Market. My next passenger is a lady who does shopping there every two
days. I help her put all her purchases into the cyclo and then take her to her
shop in THDao Street. At about ten thirty I ride off toward NTMKhai School.
There I park my cyclo, chat with some of my fellows and wait for my third
passengers. They are two school pupils, a girl and a boy. I take them home. At
twelve I have lunch at a food stall near BT Market. After lunch, I park my
cyclo under a tree, take a short rest and then continue my afternoon’s work.

UNIT
4 : SPECIAL EDUCATION
If
you ask any member of the VTK Club which time of day they enjoy most, and they
will all agree:
their
photography lesson.
The
VTK Club’s members come from the Nhan Chinh School for Deaf Children, Xa Dan
Secondary School for Deaf and Mute Children, and the Hanoi Literature and Art
Club for for Mentally Retarded Children.
“Whenever
we hold a camera, wandering around and taking in our surroundings through a
lens, we can forget the sorrow of our disabilities,” says club member Nguyen
Minh Tam.
The
six-month-old photography club, which comprises 19 deaf, mute or mentally
retarded children, is now having its first exhibition in Hanoi.
More
than 50 colour photos are on display at the exhibition room featuring the
beauty of daily life through the eyes of these disabled children. The subjects
are simple and peaceful: old men reading books on the sides of Hoan Kiem Lake,
labourers hard at work, or chickens looking for food.
The
children’s passion for taking pictures has stimulated them and helped them
escape their sorrow.
UNIT 5: TECHNOLOGY AND YOU
Well,
I wasn’t worried when my son bought a computer. After all lots of children have
parents who don’t
understand computers. But when my secretary asked me for a computer in the
office, I really became worried. So I decided to take some lessons in computing
and my son became my teacher. He was very helpful. He invited me to sit down in
front of the computer screen. I did not know what it was called. When asked him
what it was, he said that it was a VDU. I still didn’t know what a VDU was, but
I was too shy to ask him any more. From that moment my memory refused to learn
because he told me a lot of things that I really didn’t understand at all.
After a few lessons I began to feel tired. I made an excuse, saying that I had
a headache. I suggested we should leave the lesson for another day. Since then
I haven’t said anything about the computer to my son and my secretary.
UNIT 6: AN EXCURSION
The
weekend picnic I enjoyed most was just a few weeks ago. My class decided to pay
a visit to the Botanical
Garden. It was a glorious Sunday. We met at the school gate on time and
travelled to the Botanical
Garden by bus. It was a long way to destination and we sang merrily all the
way.
The
Botanical Garden was a very beautiful place. We make a short tour round the
garden and took some pictures of the whole class. Then we played a lot of games
on a spacious piece of grassland. One of the boys brought along his guitar and
we sang our favourite songs. We laughed, talked and danced, too. After a
delicious meal with various kinds of food that we brought, we all took a rest.
Some of us slept very soundly because it was so peaceful and quite there. In
the afternoon, we went on playing some more games. Then we packed up the
left-overs and returned home. We all felt happy.
UNIT 7: THE MASS MEDIA
The
time is 7 o’clock and here is the news summery.
Heavy
rain during the night has caused floods all over the country today. Many people
have left their homes because rivers have risen. Some roads in the north-west
are under two metres of water. The rain has stopped at the moment, but it’s
sill cloudy and there is a strong wind. Because of the bad weather people can’t
go out to work.
A
ninety – year-old woman has climbed Mount Whitney in California for the twenty
– third times. At 4,418
metres, Mount Whitney is the highest mountain in California. The woman says the
view from the top is wonderful. She also says that the mountain has kept her
young and healthy. In spite of her old age, the woman tries to climb the
mountain very often.
UNIT 8: THE STORY OF MY VILLAGE
Popffero
used to be a small quiet town on the sound coast of England. But it has become
a crowded
and
busy tourist resort now. They’ve completely destroyed its old atmosphere. The
small old houses have been pulled down, and tall buildings have been put there
instead. They’ve also built a big hotel in the middle of the town. The narrow
streets have been widened and resurfaced, so the big trees on the two sides of
the streets have been cut down. The large area of grass land in the suburbs of
the town has been turned into an ugly car park. Even the old corner shop isn’t
there anymore. It has been replaced by a big department store. And there is an
expensive restaurant where there used to be an old tea shop. Many people in
Popffero are happy with the changes as there are more jobs for them. But some
people don’t like the changes, they miss the quiet and peaceful life of the old
town.
UNIT 9: UNDERSEA WORLD
Whales
are mammals that live their entire lives in the water. Some whales are huge.
The blue whale, for example, grows to 30 meters in length and over 200 tons in
weight. It is the largest animal that has ever lived on earth. Whales may also
be the most intelligent animals in the ocean.
Whales
like to feed in the cold oceans where there is a lot of krill- their favorite
food. Cold water in the North and South Atlantic Ocean and the North and South
Pacific are good feeding grounds for whales. Some whales are known to migrate
into warm waters to bear their calves.
Whale
populations decrease quickly due to heavy hunting pressure. Conservation groups
asked the International Whaling Commission to stop whaling. However, Native
American hunters, such as the Eskimo, are still allowed to hunt a limited
number of whales to feed their communities. If no effective measures were taken
to protect whales, these wonderful animals would disappear forever.
UNIT 10: CONSERVATION
Have
you ever seen a forest destroyed by fire? A great forest fire is an awful thing
to see. Once a
fire
started, it spreads quickly. Foresters say that late summer is the season when
the fire is the greatest danger to woods and forests. They are very dry then.
Sometimes when the danger of fire is very great, foresters will not allow
anyone to go into the forests.
If
people leave a camp-fire burning near a heap of leaves, this often causes a
forest fire. Campers must always remember to put out the camp-fire and cover
the place with earth. It is the duty of every camper to take the greatest care
not to start a forest fire.
Anyone
careless enough to start a forest fire has done something, which make life more
difficult for all of us. Every fire destroys valuable wood, wildlife and good
soil. Everyone of us must know how important it is to care for out great forest
and save them from fire.
UNIT 11: NATIONAL PARKS
Cuc
Phuong, the first national park in Vietnam, was officially opened in 1960. it
is located 160 km south west of Hanoi spanning Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh
Hoa provinces. The 200 square kilometre
park
attracts tourists and scientists alike. In 2002, nearly 100,000 visitors made
their way to Cuc Phuong. Many come to see the work being done to protect
endangered species. According to scientists, there are about 2,000 different
species of flora and 450 species of fauna.
Cuc
Phuong National Park has many caves. Quen Voi, also part of the park, is where
Nguyen Hue’s army was stationed before it made its surprise attack on Thang
Long and defeated the Quing invaders in the spring of 1789.
Cuc
Phuong is also home to the Muong ethnic minority, who live mainly on bee
keeping and farming.

him?
Quang

Hung: In 1944.
Lan
Huong: Do you like any other songs by Van Cao?
Quang
Hung: Oh, yes, lots of them. Especially the songs about rural life in Vietnam.
They are sweet and gentle, and very lyrical.
Lan
Huong: Well, let me see if we can play one of the songs for you.

The
Statue of Liberty, one of America’s most familiar image, is on island in New
York Harbour. It is a symbol of freedom. Its formal name is Liberty
Enlightening the world. It was a gift to America people from the French to show
the friendship between the two nations. This is the statue of a woman who is

torch, and her left hand holds a tablet with the date July 4, 1776 on it. The
statue weighs 205 tons and is 46 m high, it stands on a stone and concrete
base. The base and pedestal increase the height of the monument to 93m. The
outside is made of copper. Inside, it has an iron frame. The statue was
completed in 1884 in France, and then transported to America in 1886. Tourists
can visit the statue from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Christmas Day.
UNIT 16: HISTORICAL PLACES
The
ancient town of Hoi An lies on the Thu Bon River, 30 km south of Da Nang. It
was formerly a major trading centre in Southeast Asia between the 16th and 17th
centuries. Hoi An was also an important port for Dutch, Portugese, Italian,
Chinese, Japanese and other merchant vessels from the Far East.
Hoi
An is famous for its temples, pagodas, small tile-roofed houses and narrow
streets. All the houses were made of wood and their pillars were carved with
ornamental designs.
One
of the main attractions of Hoi An is the Japanese Covered Bridge, which was
built in the 16th century and is still well-preserved. All visitors to Hoi An
are recommended a visit to the Assembly Hall of Cantonese Chinese Congregation.
This house was built in 1855 and still keeps many precious objects that
belonged to the Chinese community of Hoi An. Another attractive address to
tourists is Tan Ky House, which was constructed nearly two centuries ago as a
house for the Vietnamese merchant. The house now looks almost exactly as it did
in the early 19th century.
