Grammar
Past simple vs. Past continuous
Remember!
Past simple, Past continuous
We use the past simple to describe: • a completed action in the past. Example: I read a good book last night. • main events in a story. Example: Mary read a few pages of her book and went to bed., We use the past continuous to describe: • an action which was happening at a specific point of time in the past. Example: I was reading a good book at 10 p.m. last night. • the settings of a story. Example: It was raining heavily outside. Mary read a few pages of her book and went to bed.
• When one action in the past happens in the middle of another, we use the past simple to talk about the shorter action, and the past continuous for the longer action. Example: I was reading a book when the phone rang. • When two or more actions in the past are happening at the same time, we use the past continuous for both/all. Example: While I was reading a book, my mother was watching TV.

STEVE JOBS' LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS
A. _________
Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February, 1955 in San Francisco, USA. His biological parents were not married and gave him up for adoption. He was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs. In 1971,Jobs met Steve Wozniak, who was five years older than him, but they bonded over their love of electronics. After high school, Jobs attended Reed College in Oregon, but found the classes boring and dropped out after six months.
B. _________
When Jobs was 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers in Jobs' family garage with money they got by selling Jobs' van and Wozniak's scientific calculator. By making computers smaller, cheaper, and accessible to everyday users, their company became a huge success and sales quickly increased. Although Jobs left Apple in 1985, he returned to his post in 1997 when the company needed new ideas. He helped invent new products such as the iMac, the iBook for students, the iPod music player, and iTunes music software. In 2007, he introduced the touch-screen iPhone which changed the way phones were used. Apple products were not only designed to be cutting-edge technology, but also to be stylish and easy to use. In addition,Jobs contributed to computer animation. In 1986, he bought a small company, which later became Pixar Animation Studios. It produced the first full-length computer-animated film
C. _________
In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He fought the disease for several years, and stopped working in August, 2011. Two months later, he passed away. He had four children, three with his wife of 20 years and one from a previous relationship. On an Apple web page, a statement reads, 'Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.'

Cleopatra VII (69 BC-30 BC)
The queen of ancient Egypt (ruling from 51 BC to 30 BC) was most famous for her determination and beauty. She was also very intelligent and well educated, and could speak nine languages. Under her rule, Egypt was a rich nation and remained independent from the expanding Roman Empire.
Elizabeth I (1533-1603)
Queen Elizabeth I ruled England for 45 years (1558-1603). She was admired for her strong determination and intelligence. Elizabeth could speak and write five languages, and even translated lengthy texts into French, Italian, and Latin. She is considered one of the most successful queens in British history. She defeated the powerful Spanish Navy in 1588 and
encouraged the development of the arts. She refused to get married.
Catherine II (1729-1796)
Catherine II was a minor German princess who became known as Catherine the Great and ruled Russia from 1762 to 1796. She was intelligent, ambitious, and dedicated to her adopted country.

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.

Culture
shock
Culture shock refers to feelings of confusion or anxiety that people may have when experiencing a new and different culture.Culture shock can be caused by language barriers, unfamiliar lifestyles, different climate, or strange food. For example, visitors to the US find it hard to get used to the local tipping culture. By contrast, tipping in Japan can be considered rude and even insulting in many situations. The best way to overcome culture shock is to start learning about the new culture before moving there. You should try to focus on the positive aspects of your new experiences and keep an open mind. Learning about cultural diversity helps understand different ways of thinking about the world, gain new knowledge and experiences, and promote personal growth. Research says that almost two-thirds to three-quarters of the world drive on the right, while only a quarter to one-third of the world drive on the left including the UK and Australia. Or you may find out that things that you're used to are banned in another country. In Singapore, for example, the sale of chewing gum is illegal and Singaporeans take this law very seriously. So
always remember that culture shock is not a bad experience, but the beginning of an exciting learning journey to cultural diversity.

3. The UK 4. Singapore
2 Work in groups. Discuss the questions.
What kind of culture shock do you think foreigners may experience in Viet Nam? What will you do to help them overcome it?

Nam: Hey guys, look at this notice! Our school is holding a Green Classroom Competition. The greenest classroom will win an ecotour!
Mark: How exciting! But how will the classrooms be judged?
Nam: It says here that classrooms will be judged on the following: raising environmental awareness, reducing our carbon footprint, and using resources efficiently.
Mai: I guess we should start by cleaning up our classroom more frequently and having more plants in it.
Nam: Yes, this is the easiest thing to do, but we also need to change our classmates' behaviour so that we can develop eco-friendly habits in our class.
Mark: That sounds harder. I notice many of our classmates buy plastic water bottles every day and throw them away after a single use.
Nam: Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, which is certainly not good for the environment.

Grammar
Verbs with prepositions
Remember!
Many verbs go with a preposition followed by an object. The meaning of these two words is usually very similar to the original meaning of the verb.
Example:
verbs with ==about==: ask about, care about, talk about, think about, learn about
verbs with ==for==: ask for, apply for, apologise for, wait for, prepare for
verbs with ==on==: agree on, base on, depend on, rely on
verbs with ==to==: introduce to, refer to, respond to, listen to, explain to
In some cases, a verb and a preposition are combined to make a (two-word) phrasal verb. The meaning of a phrasal verb is often very different from the original meaning of the main verb. Phrasal verbs use adverbs as well as prepositions.
Example: work out, carry out, turn on, turn off, look for, look after, look up

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.

HOW GREEN FESTIVAL
Festivals come with many traditions that bring happiness and joy. However, some of these customs may not be environmentally friendly, and may need to be changed for a sustainable future. Below are three of them.
2. Fireworks
In Australia, the US, and many other countries, there are fascinating firework displays that people won't want to miss. However, fireworks actually release a lot of harmful chemicals into the air. Like sky lanterns, they can also cause fires.
1. Balloons and sky lanterns
In countries such as China, India, and Japan, releasing balloons or sky lanterns provides a spectacular sight. They are also flown for bringing good luck and sending wishes to the sky. However, the litter left behind the balloons and lanterns is hard to decompose. The frames of the lanterns can harm wild animals, and many animals mistake the balloons for food. Lanterns also caused wildfires in the past.
3. Christmas trees
Real or fake Christmas trees are often displayed in almost every house, office, and shop during the festive season. When Christmas is over and the real trees go to landfills, they produce methane and carbon dioxide, which are two harmful greenhouse gases. Fake trees can be reused for many years, but during their production, harmful pollutants are released into the air. And when they end up in landfills, they will take hundreds of years to decompose.

landfills

Grammar Present perfect (review and extension)
Remember!
We use the present perfect to describe something that started in the past and is still happening now, or something that was completed in the very recent past. Example: A lot of young people have moved to big cities to work or study.
We also use the present perfect to say how many times something has happened with the following structure:
It/This/That + be + the first/the second time + Subject + have/has (done) ...
Example:
This is the second time I have visited this city. It is not the first time I have heard about urbanisation.
We often use the present perfect for a unique experience with the following structure:
It/This/That/Noun or Gerund phrase + be + the best/the worst/the only/the most beautiful/
... + Subject + have/has (ever done) ... Example:
That is the worst meal I have ever had in this city.
Moving to the city is the best decision my parents have ever made in their life.

Double comparatives to show change
Remember!
We use double comparatives to show change. Example: Towns are getting bigger and bigger. The air is becoming more and more polluted. There are more and more high-rise buildings in the city.
We also use double comparatives to say that two things change together. Example:
The bigger the city gets, the more crowded it becomes. The more we invest in rural areas, the more we can help people there.
Housing is getting more and more expensive in big cities, so many local residents

Ha Noi Then and Now
‛Ha Noi Then and Now' exhibition has attracted thousands of visitors this week. The pictures have brought back childhood memories to old residents while helping younger generations see how the city has changed over the years.
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.

Lan: Come in, Mark. Did you find my place easily?
Mark: Yes, I actually met your dad in the street and he showed me the way. He said he was on his way to work.
Lan: That's right. My dad is a factory worker, so he works in shifts. Today he's on the night shift.
Mark: Working night shifts must be really hard. When does he sleep?
Lan: He goes to bed right after he comes home in the morning when there's no one at home. My mum's usually at work then. She teaches at a primary school.
Mark: Working with kids must be fun.
Lan: Yes, she loves her job though teaching can be tiring. Getting up in front of the class and putting up a performance every day seem so stressful.
Mark: I agree. My mum used to be a teacher, but she gave up her job to look after me and my brother.
Lan: How about your dad?
Mark: He has a nine-to-five job. He's an accountant at a bank.
Lan: Working with numbers must be difficult.
Mark: Yes, but it's not just numbers. You need to learn so many regulations and build good working relationships with clients. Lan: I guess he often goes on bus
Mark: Yes, but it's not just numbers. You need to learn so many regulations and build good working relationships with clients.
Lan: I guess he often goes on business trips.
Mark: Not really, but he works overtime. He sometimes comes back home when I'm already in bed.
Lan: You're good at maths, so you should follow in his footsteps.
Mark: Definitely not. Neither I nor my brother wants to become an accountant. I'm interested in computer programming because it opens up so many job opportunities. What about you, Lan?

Grammar Simple, compound, and complex sentences (review and extension)
Remember!
A simple sentence includes one independent clause. Example: My brother didn't apply for the job.
A compound sentence contains at least two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction such as and, but, or, nor, yet, so, a correlative conjunction such as not only … but also, or a conjunctive adverb such as as a result, moreover, in fact, on the other hand. Example: My brother didn't apply for the job, but he was offered an apprenticeship. Being a nurse is a very tiring job; moreover, you don't earn a high salary.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause joined by a subordinating conjunction such as when, while, because, although, if, so that. Example:
When I was younger, I wanted to become a driver. Because my brother is often late for work, he is never promoted.

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.

Comparing two types of mass media
I GETTING STARTED
Promoting a charity event
1. Listen and read.
Mark: Hi, Mai. What's up? You look so worried!
Mai: I'm so stressed! The school charity club is planning a music show, and I'm in charge of the publicity for the event. But it's so difficult to think of ways to attract people's attention. There hasn't been much interest so far.
Linda: Why don't you place an advert in the local newspaper? Everybody reads it, and I'm sure an advert there can help draw attention to the event.
Mai: It'll be too expensive. I'm afraid we can't afford to promote the show as if it were a big profit-making event.
Mark: I see ... How about putting up posters in the area?
Mai: Well, they're not expensive, but there're so many of them that viewers may not pay enough attention to our poster.
Mark: How about the Internet?
Mai: You mean running commercials online? That will cost lots of money, too.
Mark: Not necessarily. We can post information on social media sites, which is free and effective. In fact, they are such popular tools of communication nowaday
Mark: Not necessarily. We can post
information on social media sites, which is free and effective. In fact, they are such popular tools of communication nowadays that everybody uses them to advertise products and events, and connect with people. Mai: I've thought of that, but I don't
have a big social media presence like you do. Linda: Well, perhaps you should consider all
of our suggestions. First, I'll phone the local newspaper to see if they offer any discounts for charity advertising. Mark: And I can help you promote the
event on the Internet. Let's get together this afternoon to design some posters, too. Mai: Thanks so much! See you then.
Read the conversation again and circle the correct answers.

Grammar Adverbial clauses of manner and result
Remember!
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.
1 Combine the sentences using suitable adverbial clauses.
My brother was looking at me nervously. I thought he was guilty of something.
 My brother was looking at me nervously like ______________________________________________.
There is so much information available online. People sometimes get confused.
 There is so much information available online ____________________________________________.
The injured reporter was talking in front of the camera. The pain didn't affect him at all.
 The injured reporter was talking in front of the camera ____________________________________.
The Internet is a very powerful tool. As a result, it allows people to share information and ideas
from around the world.  The Internet is such a powerful tool ______________________________________________________.
2 Work in pairs. Talk about a type of mass media you use in your everyday life, using
adverbial clauses of manner and result.
Example:
I like watching TV so much that I always have
the TV on at home. There are so many interesting
programmes to watch that it is sometimes
impossible to watch them all. When I'm not
home, I watch my favourite TV channels on my smartphone.

Ms Smith: Welcome to the Endangered Primate Rescue Centre! If you have any questions during the tour, don't hesitate to ask me.
Mark: I've just seen a monkey in the enclosure. So are primates just monkeys, Ms Smith?
Ms Smith: No, primates are a group of mammals that includes not just monkeys, but also humans and apes.
Mark: What's the difference between apes and monkeys?
Ms Smith: Well, apes don't have tails and are larger than monkeys. Their brains are also larger. They're as good at using tools as they're at learning sign language.
Mai: So how many primates live here?
Ms Smith: The centre is home to more than 170 primates representing 14 species. They're housed in large enclosures.
Mark: I can hear some sounds. Is someone singing?
Ms Smith: We're close to the gibbons' enclosure, and the male and female gibbons are singing. Gibbons are the smallest of the apes, and all seven species are regarded as threatened. In fact, five of them are listed as critically endangered.

4. Derek's owner kept him in a cage and gave him the wrong type of food.
Mai: What is the main threat to gibbons?
Ms Smith: It's habitat loss due to deforestation and illegal hunting. Poachers make a big profit out of selling gibbons as pets and for making traditional medicine and food.
Mai: So we can help gibbons if we stop keeping them as pets.
Ms Smith: That's right. Now let me show you Derek, the gibbon we rescued last week. He was locked in a cage for two years as an illegal pet.
Mai: Oh no, he's so thin.
Ms Smith: Yes. Gibbons can become ill or weak unless they're fed the right type of food. After examining Derek, our veterinarian also found head injuries. So we'll give him a suitable diet and monitor him for several weeks before we release him into the national park.

Grammar Adverbial clauses of condition and comparison
Remember!
An adverbial clause of condition gives the potential outcome of a situation or condition, real or imagined. It uses subordinating conjunctions such as if, provided that, until, or unless. Example: What would you buy if you won the lottery? We can't release injured animals into the wild unless they are treated and fully recovered.
An adverbial clause of comparison describes how something such as a skill, size, or amount compares to something else. It uses subordinating conjunctions such as than, as … as, or as. Example: There are more endangered species today than there were 50 years ago. Gibbons are as famous for their beautiful singing as they are for their swinging movements
through the trees.
1 Combine the sentences using adverbial clauses of condition or comparison.
Use the conjunctions in brackets and make any necessary changes.
You must release the sea turtle into the sea. Otherwise, it will die soon. (if)

Raising people's awareness is important to preserve wildlife. Imposing strict laws is also
important. (as … as)  ________________________________________________________________________________________
We must stop poaching. Otherwise, many endangered species will become extinct. (unless)

4. A monkey is very intelligent. You may not think it is. (more … than)

D. Wildlife art exhibition to raise public awareness and funds
E. Young wildlife artists to hold exhibition of vulnerable species
_________
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.

An exhibition entitled ‛Paint for wildlife' will be held in Ha Noi next week. It will include more than 30 paintings by secondary school students across the country. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet the young artists and discuss the stories behind their beautiful paintings. All of them will be on sale to raise money for the protection of endangered and vulnerable species. The event organisers hope to raise public awareness of wildlife conservation through art and contribute to efforts to save rare and endangered animals.

endangered and a cross (✗) if they are not.
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
Ethiopian banana frog
Location: in southern Ethiopia - Area of occupancy: less than 2,000 square
kilometres
Snaggletooth shark
Location: in the tropical, coastal waters of the
Indian and Pacific Oceans - Area of occupancy: enormous, from southeast
Africa to the Philippines and from China to Australia
Tahiti reed-warbler
Location: only on the Pacific Island of Tahiti - Population: fewer than 1,000 individuals - Area of occupancy: around 420 square kilometres

I GETTING STARTED
Q&A with a career adviser
1. Listen and read.
Mr Kien: ... So, I've talked to you about future job opportunities. I hope you'll continue to keep up with the rapid changes in the job market. Have you got any questions?
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.
Nam: So, are these the most important job skills we'll need in the future? Mr Kien: That's right! No matter what career you may consider, you'll need these skil
Nam: So, are these the most important job skills we'll need in the future?
Mr Kien: That's right! No matter what career you may consider, you'll need these skills. Good communication and teamwork will always be in demand. These soft skills will help you adapt to changes and come up with solutions to challenging problems.
Nam: Thank you very much for your answers.

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.
1. Listen and repeat. Pay attention to the sentence stress and rhythm.
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.
These soft skills will help you adapt to changes and come up with solutions to challenging problems.
2. Underline the stressed words in the sentences. Listen and check. Then practise saying the sentences with a natural rhythm.
I'd like to apply for the position of Assistant Teacher.
We've received a lot of application letters.
We've chosen the best applicants to interview.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Grandma: Oh hi, Mark. I'm glad you're here! Can you help me increase the font size of this text on my laptop? It's too small for me to read.
Mark: Let me show you ... You need to press these two keys together ... See? It's easy, isn't it?
Grandma: It works! Everything's so easy to read now. Thanks, dear. I still have trouble using the laptop. You know, it's taken me so much time to learn computer skills.
Mark: That's fine, Grandma. My teacher says it's never too late to learn something new, especially new technology, because it's rapidly developing. Grandma, you've typed a lot of text! What are you working on?

Grandma: Really? This could help me stay informed about current events. Can you show me some news sites after I finish my book summary?

Mark: Are all club members your age?

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.

III reading
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
