Grammar Articles (review and extension)
Remember!
There are two types of articles in English: indefinite (a/an) and definite (the).
We use the indefinite articles a and an before singular, countable nouns when the reader or the listener does not know which one we are referring to. Example: I want to buy a souvenir.
We use the definite article the before singular or plural nouns when we think that the reader or the listener knows what we are referring to because of the following: - there is only one in general or only one in that context. Example: The sun rises in the east. - it has already been mentioned. Example: A boy lost a watch. A woman found the watch and returned it to the boy. - we refer to a musical instrument. Example: I'm learning to play the piano.
We also use the definite article the with: - countries whose names include words like kingdom or state, or countries which have plural nouns as their names. Example: the UK (the United Kingdom), the US (the United States of America), the Philippines - oceans, seas, mountain ranges, etc. Example: The Pacific is the largest of all oceans.
We do not need an article with plural, countable nouns or uncountable nouns which are used in a generic or non-specific way. Example: Tigers are endangered animals.

3. Introduction 4. Solutions
A. _________
This report describes the problem of single-use plastics in our school and suggests three main solutions to the problem.
B. _________
Many students at our school buy bottled water or takeaway food. As a result, hundreds of water bottles and single-use plastic containers are thrown away every day. Besides, students often put containers with leftovers in them into the recycling bin, which can lead to contaminating the recyclable waste. This means our school produces a lot of plastic waste that goes to landfills and has a harmful effect on the environment.
C. _________
To solve this problem, we propose the following solutions. First, we suggest that the school should provide more recycling bins. Second, the Youth Union should hold regular sessions to teach students how to recycle properly. Third, we recommend that we make use of plastic waste in arts and crafts projects, for example, for making plant pots or bird feeders.
D. _________
Reusing and recycling single-use plastics will lead to a greener school environment and help promote a green lifestyle among young people. Therefore, we recommend you put the suggested solutions into practice as soon as possible.

In the ‛Then' hall, visitors can see pictures of 20th-century
Ha Noi. Back in 1954, it was a small city with a population of about 530,000 residents in an area of about 152 sq km. The capital's famous Old Quarter or ‛36 old streets' dates back hundreds of years, with each street focusing on a different trade or craft.

The ‛Now' pictures show a modern city with a population of over 8 million people. Over the years, the urban area has gradually expanded to over 3,000 sq km including many of the surrounding villages. As rural residents move into Ha Noi,
the government is providing more affordable housing. More high-rise buildings have also been built. Ha Noi has improved its transport infrastructure, building new roads and bridges. It is modernising bus services using more electric ones. The Ha Noi Metro opened to the public in 2021 and is expected to include more lines by 2030. A new image of Ha Noi

Urbanisation in Malaysia and Australia
Urbanisation in Malaysia started in the early 1970s. At that time, only around 26 per cent of the population lived in urban areas. After a period of rapid growth, the urban and rural populations were almost equal in the early 1990s. Since then, the urbanisation rate has continued to increase gradually. The urban population, for example, rose from 66 per cent in 2004 to 74 per cent in 2014. At present, Malaysia is known as one of the most urbanised countries in Southeast Asia. It is also one of the most rapidly urbanised regions around the world. According to the latest statistics, over 77 per cent of Malaysia's total population now live in urban areas and cities.

Tech News
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a huge impact on education. Here are some examples from around the world.
A. Digital portfolio
To apply for a university or a job, secondary school students usually need to support their applications with a list of relevant qualifications and work experience. Thanks to AI, they can now effortlessly do that online. A team from two famous universities in Singapore has invented an AI digital portfolio.This app collects data from the learning and working experience that students upload onto the app. Then the data is sorted into sets of skills which students can use for their job or university applications.
B. Educational chatbots
AI chatbots are being used in many
schools and universities
the world. They can help students engaged in their learning by providing a more interactive experience. These virtual can explain concepts answer specific questions, and give
feedback on homework. Students can seek support from AI chatbots during and after classes so they can understand the better. They can also create groups on chatbots to share ideas
projects and activities. Engaging
with each other using conversational AI can help students create a better and friendlier learning environment.

C. Virtual reality
around Schools in Hong Kong are bringing fascinating
keep, learning to the classroom through the power of virtual reality (VR). This new way of teaching helps students learn valuable skills, provides ‛hands-on'
tutors, experiences when studying history or geography,
clearly, and limits potential dangers of chemistry or physics
experiments. Guided virtual tours transport students back in time to study the history that of Hong Kong or take them lessons to tropical forests to explore
endangered species. about
D. Personalised learning
Experts in Israel have created a technology platform to support personalised learning. It collects data from students about what they know and do not know,
analyses performances using AI, then offers them suitable assignments. This app has served as the main distance-learning platform for many Israeli secondary school students who are preparing for advanced examinations in physics. There are also thousands of chemistry and biology students who benefit from this software.

1 Read the text and complete the timeline showing the evolution of robots.
The evolution of robots
The word ‛robot' was first used in 1920. It comes from the Czech word ‛robota', which means ‛forced labour' used in a play by Karel Čapek to describe artificial people. In 1949, the British inventor William Grey Walter introduced the first machine which could slowly move in response to light stimulus. Ten years later, the first industrial robotic arm was installed at a General Motors plant in the US. Such robots are mostly used in car and computer industries. The first robot to use Artificial Intelligence was known as Shakey. It was developed at Stanford Research Institute between 1966 and 1972. Shakey could observe its surroundings, create a plan, and find its way across a room or push a box along the floor. Twenty years later, a walking robot called Dante, which was capable of climbing steep slopes, was built to go into active volcanoes. The late 1990s marked a milestone in the history of robots when Kismet, a robotic head designed to provoke and react to emotions, was created. Since the beginning of the 21st century, more robots have been created to improve our life. The first self-driving car was launched on 8 October 2005 when a Volkswagen Touareg named ‛Stanley' won a racing competition across the desert. In 2012, the AI expert Geoffrey Hinton and his team created the first accurate visual recognition system. In 2016, Sophia, a human-like robot was introduced. Sophia can imitate human gestures and facial expressions and is able to answer certain questions and to make simple conversations. In the future, we may see more robots and AI applications. Whether we accept them or not, they will continue to play an important role in all aspects of our lives.

An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb. There are different types of adverbial clauses.
An adverbial clause of manner explains how something is done. It uses subordinating conjunctions such as as, as if, and like. Example: He's acting as if he were my father. Note: We use the subjunctive were with all pronouns after as if.
An adverbial clause of result indicates the result of an action or a situation. It often uses subordinating conjunctions such as so … that and such … that. Example: The weather was so hot that we couldn't sleep.

_________
More than 600 volunteers participated conservation activities held on Con Dao Island last week. Volunteers made sure that their spawning ground is safe. They also rescued turtle eggs and buried them in the sand. Sea turtles are threatened with extinction worldwide, and their populations have decreased dramatically in many places. That is why sea turtle conservation programmes are organised annually around the world. They attract many volunteers and help raise public awareness about the threats to sea turtle species.
_________
Local authorities are taking measures to restore the coral reef ecosystem in Nha Trang Bay. They will organise regular clean-ups of the seabed and removal of marine debris. Diving clubs will also help by having their professional divers collect broken pieces of coral, re-grow them in underwater nurseries, and then re-attach them to reefs. Coral cover is expected to increase, which will help restore natural habitats and promote marine biodiversity in the bay. In addition, the bay's management board will also monitor the number of swimmers and divers to avoid putting too
much stress on the ecosystem.

THE IUCN RED LIST
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List divides species into seven levels of conservation: Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, Extinct in the Wild, and Extinct. It uses a set of precise criteria to evaluate extinction risks and decides which species need protection. An endangered species is one that meets any of the following criteria:
Population reduction rate
A species is classified as endangered when its population has declined between 50 and 70 per cent. This decline is measured over 10 years or longer.
Geographic range
Geographic range describes the area where a species is found. If the area that a species lives on, known as its area of occupancy, is estimated to be less than 500 square kilometres, then the species is classified as endangered.
Population size
A species is classified as endangered when there are fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. When a species population declines by at least 20 per cent or two generations within five years, it is also classified as endangered.
Animals Endangered or not Siberian sturgeon
Rate of population decline: between 50 and 80
per cent over the past 60 years - Causes of decline: overfishing, poaching, and
habitat loss

Nam: Yes, do you think we need to have a university degree to pursue a career?
Mr Kien: Well, it depends on the industry and the field of work that you're interested in. There're many jobs that don't require a university degree. For example, you may consider becoming a flight attendant, car mechanic, or repair worker.
Nam: But how do you get a job without a degree or any experience? Employers look down on job applicants without a university degree.
Mr Kien: No, they don't. You need to show that you're hard-working and willing to learn. Many companies hire school-leavers and provide on-the-job training.
Mai: So, when do you think we should start thinking about our careers?
Mr Kien: Well, the sooner, the better. However, the best time is when you start senior secondary school.
Mai: I read that AI will replace many workers in the future. How do I make sure that the job I choose won't be taken over by a robot?
Mr Kien: That's a good question. Many factory jobs and jobs in customer service have already become automated. As AI continues to develop, more human employees may be replaced. That's why it's important to choose jobs that involve a high level of human interaction, critical thinking, and decision-making.

Sentence stress and rhythm
Remember!
Content words (e.g. main verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs) are often stressed, while grammatical words (e.g. conjunctions, pronouns, prepositions, auxiliaries, and articles) are not.
This combination of stressed and unstressed syllables produces the rhythm of spoken English.
To sound natural and fluent, you should try to stress the correct words in your spoken sentences.

Unit 9
Grammar
Three-word phrasal verbs
Remember!
In addition to two-word phrasal verbs, there are three-word phrasal verbs that usually consist of a verb, an adverb, and a preposition.
Some three-word phrasal verbs may have an obvious meaning that we can guess from the parts. e.g. walk away from, climb out through.
Example:
The driver walked away from the burning car.
The thief climbed out through the window.
Many three-word phrasal verbs have an idiomatic meaning which is difficult to guess from their individual parts.
live up to, meet someone's expectations
cut down on, reduce
get on with, have a good relationship with
put up with, accept an unpleasant situation/person without complaining
go in for, have something as an interest or a hobby
get through to, contact somebody by phone
look forward to, expect something because you enjoy it
keep up with, learn about the current developments of
Example:
She gets on with all the members of her team.
I can't put up with his bad behaviour any longer.
Three-word phrasal verbs need an object, which always comes immediately after the preposition, and not in any other place.
1. Match the verbs in 1–4 with the adverbs (a–d) and the prepositions in A–D to make complete sentences.
1. I have tried to contact the employment agency several times, but I haven't been able to get ...
2. After graduating from a medical school, my father had to work very hard to keep ...
3. I have sent them my CV and application letter. Now, I'm looking ...
4. As the factory gets more automated, its management plans to cut ...
a up
b forward
c down
d through
A ... to hearing from them.
B ... on staff.
C ... to anyone.
D ... with medical knowledge.
2. Work in pairs. Make true sentences about the career path of someone you know, using three-word phrasal verbs.
Example:
My eldest sister is very good at English, and my parents wanted her to become a teacher of English. However, she didn't live up to my parents' expectations. Instead, she went in for a game design competition and became a game designer.

2. What do you need to do to prepare for your future career?
phrases with the closest meaning to the highlighted words or phrase. page 145
Career experts' advice
A. _________
First, learn about yourself and discover your personality type, beliefs, soft skills, and interests. For example, if you are passionate about working with people and helping them develop, you may consider becoming a social worker or a teacher. If you are interested in languages, history, art, and architecture, you might look at jobs in the tourist industry. Spend time thinking about what you want to do, and list what you are good at. This can help you come up with a career path that matches your personality.
B. _________
Next, you should take into account any career qualifications you may need. Many jobs require formal education at a university or college. In order to work as a doctor, for example, you will need to study at medical school for some years of general medical training, followed by several years of specialty training. But there are also jobs that don't require any formal qualifications. You can be hired as a server or a barista in a coffee shop, for instance, and you will be given on-the-job training.
C. _________
You should also consider your chances of being hired. Some fields of work may offer very few positions. With technology developing at a fast pace, some jobs such as cashiers and travel agents may become automated or obsolete. However, other jobs are on the rise. Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, for instance, are in great demand because of ageing populations and increased life expectancy. That is why before you make a decision, you should carefully examine the opportunities that a career path may provide.
1. passionate
A. having strong feelings of enthusiasm for something
B. showing happiness and excitement about something
2. take into account
A. describe B. consider
3. specialty
A. the subject of study that someone knows a lot about
B. the typical food that a restaurant is famous for

B. a person who serves customers in a coffee shop

IN-DEMAND CAREERS FOR THE FUTURE
Technology has brought a lot of changes to our lives. The introduction of new technologies and the growth of artificial intelligence have also created a lot of career opportunities. Here are some jobs that we'll be seeing more of in the coming years.
Software developers and other coding careers
Nowadays, coding - or the process of writing computer programs - is becoming a valuable skill that recruiters are looking for. A recent survey of tech workers and employers has found that the job of a software developer will be the most important tech job in the future. Not surprisingly, in many countries, coding has even been added to the primary school curriculum.
Content creators
Over the past few years, the demand for content creators - those creating content for digital channels - has increased dramatically. There are a lot of job opportunities for content creators in different industries such as media, IT, fashion, pop music, travel and food services. Companies need to communicate with their customers, so they will always need talented content creators to help them. As a result, content creation will continue to grow and will still be a career in the future.
Data protection jobs
Personal data should only be collected and used for specific
purposes. However, personal data can also be misused or used illegally to commit offences. Therefore, the demand for data protection officers, who educate employees about data handling, and data detectives, who examine data and detect issues, will go up. There will be plenty of data privacy jobs for people with the right technical and legal skills. The above-mentioned jobs are among the many in-demand jobs of the future. If you are really interested in any of them, try to spend some time exploring them, so you can prepare for your future career.

Unit10
Grammar Reported speech: reporting orders, requests, offers, and advice
Remember!
When we report orders, requests, offers, and advice, we can use a to-infinitive clause after the reporting verb. Reporting verbs include ask, tell, advise, command, order, instruct, invite, encourage, persuade, remind, warn, etc. Some verbs are followed by an object + to-infinitive clause.
The verbs say and tell are the most common verbs in direct speech, but depending on the context and meaning, we can use different reporting verbs. Example:
Direct speech, Reported speech
‛Sit down and stop interrupting the talk!' the club leader said/told Mark., The club leader told/ordered Mark to sit down and stop interrupting the talk.
‛Could you show me how to register for the course?' I asked my teacher., I asked my teacher to show me how to register for the course.
‛You should take up a sport to keep fit,' my fitness instructor said., My fitness instructor advised me to take up a sport to keep fit.
before the to-infinitive clause. Example:
Direct speech, Reported speech
‛I'll pay for your driving lessons,' my brother said., My brother offered to pay for my driving lessons.
‛OK, Mai, we'll pay for the online course,' Mai's parents said., Mai's parents agreed to pay for the online course.
Example:
Direct speech, Reported speech
‛Don't stay out late, Mark,' his mother said., Mark's mother told/warned him not to stay out late.
1 Rewrite the sentences in reported speech, using the correct forms of the verbs in the box.
ask offer tell advise
1. ‛Find more information about the course you want to apply,' my mother told me.
 My mother _____________________________________________________________________________.
‛Can you send me the list of available online courses?' my friend asked.
 My friend ______________________________________________________________________________.
3. ‛I'll teach you how to use mobile applications,' my brother said.
 My brother _____________________________________________________________________________.
4. ‛You shouldn't waste so much time on social media,' the head teacher said.
 The head teacher ______________________________________________________________________.
2 Work in pairs. Talk about what people around you often say to encourage you to
learn new things every day. Use reported speech to report their orders, requests, offers, and advice.
Example: My parents asked me to read for an hour every day. They also advised me to join the school English club to improve my English. They encouraged me to start a learning journal. They told
me to write down my thoughts about what I am studying in the journal.

Head teacher's message to school-leavers
1 Work in pairs. Discuss the following questions.
Have you ever thought of continuing learning after finishing your secondary education?
If yes, how will you continue your learning?
2 Read a letter written by a head teacher to her students on the school website.
page 145
Dear students, In a few weeks' time, you'll complete your secondary education. Some of you may have already made plans for continuing your studies at university or vocational school, while others may wish to start working right away. Whatever choice you make, remember to keep on learning new knowledge and skills. ‛Haven't we learnt enough in secondary school?' many may wonder. In fact, learning does not stop after graduation. It is a lifelong process. It involves creating and maintaining a positive attitude to learning for both professional and personal development. Lifelong learning is especially relevant in today's changing world. It allows you to adapt to changes in the modern workplace and widens your employment opportunities. It helps you make better, informed decisions and become a more well-rounded individual. In addition, it keeps your brain healthy and boosts your memory. Lifelong learning also helps you stay connected with modern ideas and meet new people as you participate in various forms of adult education. ‛Does that mean I have to go to classes again?' The answer is ‛yes' and ‛no'. Yes, because when you start working, you may decide to go to night school or enrol on a distance learning course to learn a skill or get a degree. The answer is also No, because lifelong learning happens all the time. As long as you are motivated, you can learn new knowledge and develop new skills anywhere. Uncle Ho is a great role model for lifelong learning. He never stopped
learning throughout his life despite all the hardships and challenges. He learnt to speak different languages, including English, French, Russian, Italian, German, and Chinese mainly by himself. He even wrote poems in Chinese when he was imprisoned in China to keep his mind sharp. He took regular physical exercise, did traditional martial arts, and enjoyed activities such as swimming and mountain climbing throughout his life. We can all learn from Uncle Ho's lifelong efforts to improve himself. Remember that learning is a lifelong journey. Enjoy every moment of it. Mrs Le Minh Ngoc Head teacher
