I)-Kead the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Family rules help children understand which behaviors are acceptable and not acceptable.
As children grow, they will be in places where they have to follow rules. Following rules at
home can help children learn to follow rules in other places.
It is normal for children to break rules and test limits. Breaking a rule is a child’s way of
learning about his world. Remember, young kids sometimes break rules because they simply
forget. N ot all broken rules occur because kids are testing the limits.
For family rules to work well, everyone needs to know, understand, and follow the rules.
By doing this, children don’t get confused about the family rules. For example, you may feel
that jumping on the bed is a dangerous behavior. You set a family rule that, “The bed will be
used only for sitting, lying, or sleeping.” If another adult jumps on the bed, your child may be
confused. Your child may think this behavior is sometimes okay. This is true for parents,
grandparents, or any other adult in your child’s life.
The number of rules you set depends on your child’s ability to understand and remember.
It is also hard for parents to consistently enforce lots o f new rules. For young children, focus

Ill-R ead the passage about parent teenager problems, and then answer the questions.
Parent Teenager Problems
Parent teenager problems are a common thing in most households. Reasons for problems
between teenagers and parents vary greatly, and each situation is different another, but there
are common reasons for parent teenager problems.
First, a teenager is getting bad grades at school.
This can cause a problem because the parents o f a
teen who is not getting the best grades in school will
be worried about him graduating from high school
and getting into college. Also, if a teen gets bad
grades, he probably will not get any scholarships for
school, which can be a hardship on parents.
Next, a teen is hanging out with a bad crowd. A
teenager who has friends that do things their parents
do not approve of can end up doing those things too,
and the teen's friends will probably not be received well by the parents.
Then, a parent who is very strict with their teenager will probably have problems with
him at some point. It is important to be firm, but not very firm, since this may make a
teenager want to rebel even more.
If you are having problems with your parents, you will probably want to fix them. Lack
o f communication causes a lot o f problems between parents and teenagers. It is important for
both parties to communicate. You should do things together with your parents, such as going
to a movie or playing board games, or go to a family counselor.
Fixing a family problem might seem hard, but as long as everyone communicates his or
her feelings, everything should work out in the end.
1. What are the common reasons for parent teenager problems?
5. What are the ways to fix the problems between parents and their teens?
III)-Read the passage about family rules, and then answer the questions.
Just like any institution, a family also needs rules. Rules are very important because they
keep things in order. For a family, rules are as necessary as food and clothing. The rules are
very important because they maintain peace and order in the family. For example, children
should respect and listen to their parents.
If there are decisions to be made, for example, it is not only the parents who are going to
decide especially if the children are already grown up. It would be better if everybody is
involved in making the decision of important matters.
Rules are needed to maintain a harmonious relationship among family members. Parents are
there the pillars o f the family and to guide the children to be responsible and practise good values.
Rules teach children to become more responsible and have discipline not only at home
but especially outside o f the home. When there are rules to follow, the children will know
what they should and should not do. Rules help to avoid conflict and misunderstanding that
may lead to fights and aggression especially among children. Parents should set rules for the
children to follow to avoid quarrels and fights. There are times when children fight over
simple matters and this happens if the parents do not interfere but when parents set the rules
and let the children follow there will be fewer or no conflicts.

My problem is my mum! She’s really nice and I get on well with her. I sometimes argue
with her about little things, but nothing important. All my friends love her - she’s great
fun. When she was at my age, Madonna was really popular and Mum was a fan - she wore
miniskirts and leggings, lots of jewellery, and dyed her hair blond. I think she wanted to be
Madonna! She was only sixteen so it was okay. However, she still wears leggings and
short denim skirts now, and I can’t stand it. She even uploads photos o f herself onto her
homepage, so all my online friends can see her. What can I do?
Benny: Posted today at 13:21
You’re lucky to have a cool mum - my mum is so conservative. She wears baggy jeans,
and long skirts, and she never wears jewellery. Although she’s only thirty-seven,
everybody thinks she’s older because her clothes are old-fashioned. One friend even
thought she was my grandmother! Your mum should give my mum some fashion advice!
Jolie: Posted today at 11:10
I agree with you, Zoe. My problem is my father. He loves T-shirts with bad slogans like,
“This is what a cool dad looks like.” ©

Zoe: Posted today at 21:01
My mum got me a fantastic new laptop for my birthday, so when she wanted to be my
online friend, I couldn’t say no! Sometimes, she’s at work and I’m at home, and she wants
to have a real-time chat with me online! I just go offline. I love chatting to my friends, but
I can chat to Mum when I get home.
Ross: Posted yesterday at 17:26
Zoe, your mum wants to stay young, and why not? Her generation wore denim miniskirts
before our generation. You say she’s great fun - that’s more important than the clothes she
wears. Most parents don’t understand the virtual world, but you’re lucky - your mother has
a homepage and knows how to use it. I think that’s great. ©

Dating Customs Around the World
Dating is rare in Afghanistan because most marriages are arranged by parents, and
schools are separate for boys and girls. The opportunities to meet are rare. Girls have a 7:00
pm curfew, while boys have an 11:00 pm curfew.
It is against the law to date in Iran. Teens are separated until they are o f marrying age,
then their families introduce them to each other and sometimes a courtship follows.
Most teens go out in large groups and don't pair off until they are 18 or 19 years old in
Australia. Girls often ask boys out and pay for the date, too. Couples often go to dinner
parties, barbecues, or the beach.
Dating is usually a group event in Europe. In Spain, teens join a pandilla, a club for a
group o f friends with the same interests, like cycling or hiking. Dating is done one-to-one and
both girls and boys ask each other out and split the cost o f the evening's entertainment.
In Russia, dates take place at dances or at clubs where teens eat or chat with friends. As
many as 30 teens m ay come to a cinema to attend a movie together. In small towns, teens
meet in the streets downtown or gather around a fountain.
In Japan and Korea, most high school students don't date or go to parties, but spend their time
studying instead. Dating begins in college, when only boys do the asking and pay for the dates.

It is generally accepted that teenage is a difficult period o f life for the teenagers and even
for the parents. Frequent fighting over the most trivial things is one main characteristic of
every household with a teenager.
Parents expect their children to come back home earlier. What parents consider the
reasonable time limit is not accepted by their teens. Curfew and time restrictions become one
o f the main reasons for fights.
Teenage is a time when a lot o f kids want to show their independence. The problem arises
when parents, fearing the safety of their teens, often refuse to give them their own bikes or
motorbikes. This, of course, leads to more fights.
A decrease in grades due to increasing difficulty level o f school work, newer subjects,
more socializing is very common among teens but their parents are not sympathetic. Parents
try to impose studying rules and insist that their teens finish their homework before going out.
This makes the situation worse.
That children spend too much time on the phone is one complaint that most parents have.
The age of smartphones has ensured that kids put their smartphones above almost everything
else. Parents, however, worry that teens spending too much time on their phones lose out on
family time and real human interaction, besides harming their eyes.
Teenagers develop a taste for unhealthy but delicious fast food, while parents believe that
a growing body needs proper nutrition. As cold drinks, burgers and pizzas replace
wholesome, home cooked meals, parents worry. Moreover, teenage is a time when kids
become more and more conscious o f their weight and body image. To achieve the ‘ideal’ thin
body type, girls often starve themselves and skip meals. O f course, this also leads to a lot of
arguments between parents who try to convince their daughters that proper meals are more
important than being thin.

Generation Gap: Causes and Solutions
Parents have a common complaint that their children after a certain age tend to disrespect
them. They look for more freedom and enjoy the company o f their friends rather than staying
at home. These all are the changes when the kids grow from teenagers to adulthood. This is
the time when they want to be treated as big but the parents still consider them small. They
want to take their own decisions but they can’t because parents are there to take any important
decisions about their children. So these issues sometimes create a problem and this is when
the generation gap comes in.
There are lots of activities which interest the kids more but parents are not willing with it.
Instead o f arguing w ith children and avoiding the discussion, it will be good that parents take
a step forward and talk to their children.
Parents are the best friend o f their children as they act as both good parents and friends.
As parents have spent a large amount of their time with their kids, so it is necessary that
parents understand what their children are saying and how it can affect their life. Any
suggestions coming from parents can never be wrong, so teenagers should trust in them as
they always want their children to progress in life.
Communication is the best way to bridge the gap and find a perfect solution. Parents
should sit with their children and talk about their needs so that parents know their children’s
expectations. Parents can also listen to their problems and look for a solution which is best for
them. Parents mustn’t force them to do anything without interest but make them aware of
their duties so that they do it willingly. As you are dealing with teenagers, you need to keep
yourself in their situation and then think about it.
If parents feel that their children are disrespecting, they then tell that if their children want
respect, they need to give it to other people too. This is a lifetime lesson which they need to
learn as it is not limited to their home but also when they go out and work in any organization.
Children must understand their limitations. If they go beyond that, it will be difficult for
them. It is the duty o f the parents that they make their kids understand their limitation and
define a boundary for them. This is done for the benefit of the children so that they know what
is right and what is wrong for them.
31. One of the main reasons o f the generation gap is th a t______ .
A. children can m ake their own decisions
B. children were not able to make their own decisions
c . the problems o f the generation gap to be small
D. children are being treated as a child
32. Teenagers should trust their parents because______ .
A. parents are their best friends and they always want their children to make progress
B. children understand what they are saying and what can affect their life

C. READING
I)-R ead Phong’s story and the counsellor’s answ er, and do the tasks that follow.
Phong: In my school, everyone has a few different groups of friends, such as in our own class.
I used to be rather popular in my class, if being popular meant that most of the girls in my
class were my friends and generally liked me. Then I fell out of this friendship with my “best
friend” because there were stuff about each other we didn't like, I guess, and we just stopped
hanging out together. After this, I started hanging out with this other clique in class I was
quite close with. However, this clique was not really popular in our class. The clique was
more on the "losers" side, although individually I guess most people were okay with them. As
time went by, I found m yself feeling more and more embarrassed to be in the same clique
permanently as them. I was not the most popular student in my school, but I think I was more
on the popular side because I knew quite a lot o f people in our level and I was on the football
team at school, where I think being in a sport made us more on the popular side. Furthermore,
I felt more and more unappreciated in my clique. I didn't think they really appreciated my
presence, and it feels like my being there or not made only a little difference to them, although
I'm not sure if this is true. They also always left me out in conversations, which I really hate,
and this makes me feel really sad.
Counsellor: I think you should be around people you like or want to be. The group being
unpopular is not a reason to leave them. If you are good enough then, you can make the group
popular. Choose friends who make you feel comfortable. Don't move in groups based on
popularity or you may never have people who truly appreciate you. Make good friends even if
they are a few. Don't compare your group with others or people may not trust you.

each blank.

questions.
Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the
same amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they
could not ask their parents about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice. In most
cases they tell their friends how to dress and act when being around certain people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some
start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of
doing their work.

An important part o f being an adult in the USA is becoming more independent from your
parents. First, make sure you are living somewhere rather than your parents' house. If your
parents own the property in which you live, they will have a say in how you maintain that
property. If you want to be independent and make your own decisions about how you live,
you will need to obtain your own housing that is completely separate from your parents both
physically and financially.
Second, generate your own income and be as financially self-sufficient as possible. One
of the main challenges in becoming independent as an adult is acquiring a sufficient income to

Living on your own might be something that you dream o f achieving some day, but at the
same time, the thought can be scary. You need an income, and then after that you need the
survival skills to take care of yourself without anyone there to support you.
This guide will help prepare you for that transition so that some day you can live
independently.
First, create a support network. We need people to be there for us and to also be honest
with us and tell us how we can improve ourselves. Preferably, this network will extend
beyond family members and include at least one close friend that you trust. Ultimately, when
you are living on your own, you might encounter many obstacles you have never thought of
and you will want someone there to be supportive of you and to help you as you navigate a
life o f independence.
Second, master your weaknesses. It is a good idea to try and be aware of your
weaknesses. If possible, have your close friend tell you what they feel are your biggest
weaknesses. It Is also good to know your strengths, but it is your weaknesses that you need to
work on. For instance, you might get very focused on playing video games for hours, maybe
days at a time. While it is okay to play video games, playing them for days at a time when
trying to live on your own can lead to you losing your job and also your house. So, it is
important that you recognize your weaknesses and do your best to work with them.
Next, learn to balance your schedule. It is important to learn how to do multiple things in
a day. You need to be flexible and willing to schedule time for activities, work, and social
engagements.
Then, live a healthy lifestyle. You should exercise and try to eat healthy. You also have to
maintain your hygiene or you might find yourself out o f a job.
Last but not least, follow your dreams and make them come true. Look through the
newspapers and online and find that apartment or house that you desire to live in. Decide that
you are going to move out and make it happen. Ultimately, living on your own is something
that you have to make happen for yourself. So, decide that is what you want and don’t allow
anything to deter you from your goal.
36. In order to live independently, you should______ .
A. dream o f achieving some day
B. need someone to support you in case o f emergency
C. not have the scary thought without anyone there to support you
D. have a job and the necessary life skills
37. The support network is very important because______ .
A. we don’t have any family member to trust or rely on
B. it helps us to improve ourselves and get over obstacles
C. we may think o f obstacles and we want someone to be supportive o f us
D. it can help us navigate a life of independence
38. All of the following are correct about mastering your weaknesses EXCEPT th at______ .
A. you should know both your strengths and weaknesses
B. being aware of your weaknesses helps you avoid big mistakes
VIII)-Complete the conversation about becoming independent, using the responses (A-F)
given. There is one extra.
A. Parents should take the time to teach us how to deal with a fire or an electric shock at home.
B. When teens learn how to use their time wisely, they not only get more tasks finished,
they also feel good about themselves and their abilities as well.
C. In order to live independently, a teen will need to have a job.
D. It’s the life skill that teens need to learn to become independent, and they don’t depend
on their parents to go to places.
E. Yeah, we should keep our bodies healthy and clean so that we will be happy while
living independently.
F. I think we should identify what you want or set a goal first.
Lan: I agree with you, Nick. But in order to take actions to get the goals, you should
leam how to get life skills. I think necessary life skills will need to be acquired in
order to become a happy and successful adult. What’s next?
Nick: Next, it’s time-management skill. (42)_________________ _____________________
Lan: And I think adults such as our teachers or parents learn how to teach us personal
time-management skills. And then, transportation skills?
Nick: That’s right —the ability to get from one place to another. (43)__________________

Healthy Romantic Relationship Expectations
Relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners are often an important part of
our life experiences. While healthy relationships support life satisfaction and overall well
being, unhealthy relationships can negatively affect general health as well as a person’s
school, work, and personal life.
We develop a sense of what we want in relationships through watching friends and family,
what we see in the media, and our own experiences. These needs and wants change throughout
our lives as we grow and learn about ourselves and others. Developing realistic expectations is
important to maintaining healthy relationships with people about whom we care.
People’s needs and desires change over time. Although we may hope that our partners
change or stay the same, there is no way to predict or control those changes. This can happen

VI)-Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
The concept o f parental authority has changed. Today, no parent can take their children’s
respect for granted: authority has to be earned. Several studies have shown the following
problems.
Trust: A lot o f young people say their parents don’t trust them. Some o f them have no
privacy: their parents read all their emails, and enter their rooms without knocking.
All o f these actions demonstrate lack o f respect. Consequently, these teenagers
have little respect for their parents.
Communication: Hardly any teens discuss their problems with their parents. That’s because
very few teens feel their parents really listen to them. Instead, most parents tend to
fire off an immediate response to their kids’ first sentence.
Freedom: Interestingly, most rebels come from very authoritarian homes where kids have
very little freedom. Teens need fewer rules but they have to be clear and
unchangeable. Also, if the mother and father don’t agree about discipline, teens

Australia-funded school opens for disabled children
In 2009, the Australia-funded Sunrise Special School 2 was officially opened in Tan Phu
District, Ho Chi M inh City to provide vocational training for intellectually-disabled children.
Sunrise Special School 2 was built after Sunrise Special School 1 had become overcrowded
and many o f the children there were near the age to leave school. The construction was
funded by Loreto Vietnam Australia Programme, the Australian Agency for International
Development (AusAID) and donors from Australia.
Students would be taught skills in their life as well as skills in making greetings cards,
paintings and artificial flowers; sewing; massage; music; cooking and computer science in
line with their ability. Trish Franklin, coordinator of Loreto Vietnam Australia Programme,
which is one o f the main sponsors o f the school, said that this vocational training center
would aid intellectually-disabled children in entering life.
Australian Ambassador in Vietnam, Allaster Cox, told in the opening ceremony that the
two schools had made important foundations and education opportunities for young disabled
people in Ho Chi Minh City to better integrate into the community.

VI)-Read the passage about the Agent Orange project, and choose the correct answ er A,
B, C or D for each question.
All o f our Viet Nam volunteer projects are focused on working for and with children.
Projects range from working with sick kids in hospitals, looking after children in Buddhist
temples, to providing much needed non-formal education to Ha N oi’s disadvantaged youth.
Volunteers will be provided with full orientation and assistance throughout the project.
The Agent Orange project opened more than 15 years ago to care for war veterans and
children suffering from the effects o f Agent Orange. Since then, it has grown into a complex
of 11 houses that care for a total o f 120 children and 40 veterans. The village is supported by
a highly committed and dedicated base of supporters who volunteer their time, energy and
resources to its projects.
From 1962 to 1971, during the war with Viet Nam, American forces sprayed well over 40
million liters o f the chemical defoliant, Agent Orange, over Southern Vietnam. However,
Agent Orange had not been adequately tested. The chemicals released during the 1960s
inflicted a legacy o f suffering on the Vietnamese. Precise figures are difficult to agree, but
there is no question that millions of people were exposed to the chemical. In the wake of this
exposure came liver damage, cancer, heart diseases, reproductive disorders and severe birth
defects.
The Agent Orange project is always in need of volunteers. Many o f the people who back
the organization spend time raising funds in North America and Europe, and that leaves
plenty more work to be done on the ground in Ha Noi. Regardless o f how volunteers lend a
hand to the community, their efforts directly help those who have been affected by Agent
Orange to live normal, happy and fulfilled lives. As with any undertaking of this size, there’s
always a great deal to be done, and that leaves plenty o f opportunity for volunteers to dig in.

A. focus on non-formal education to Ha N oi’s disadvantaged youth

/II) P fa d the passage, and choose the correct answ er A, B, C or D for each question.
One o f the most amazing developments I’ve seen in education over the past ten years is
the way that technology has created a revolution in possibilities for disabled learners.
Text-to-Speech software helps students with visual impairments by allowing them to
listen to the text that appears on a computer screen. This is a huge improvement over Braille
because once the programme is installed on the computer, it can read anything on the screen,
no matter what format it is in - pdf or website - with no waiting for a Braille translation. This
enables students to participate in online activities, use email and text, and have immediate
access to course materials.
Visual aids include screen magnification software that enlarges portions o f the screen
where the reader directs the mouse, screen reader software that translates screen text to
Braille, text-to-speech programmes, or audio texts. All o f these can be used by students of
many different kinds o f visual disabilities.
Audio aids include alerting devices that use flashing lights or icons on the computer
screen rather than sounds to signal users, close-captioning for videos, TDD also known as
Telecommunication for the Deaf, and phones with Voice-Carry-Over technologies that allow
students with hearing difficulties to communicate over the phone with their own voice.
For students with physical disabilities, several technologies are available to assist them in
completing their schoolwork, including audio books for students who cannot physically
handle books, keyboard adapters such as keyguards to prevent mistyping from tremors or loss
o f control, or voice recognition software for students who cannot type.
Online education also helps disabled students because some o f them study better in an
environment with limited distractions and more accessibility than might be available in many
classrooms or on very large campuses.

D. it can transform normal texts into audio texts so that the student can hear them
38. With audio aids, students with hearing impairments c an ______ .
A. have very little telecommunication B. give sounds to signal other users

M a i: Students with learning disabilities often have physical disabilities, too. How
can we help them increase accessibility?
D r. Nelson: A student should be able to move freely within a school. (42)______________
For example, voice-to-text devices can enable a student who has difficult
writing to be able to enter information into the computer.

Batik Skirts in the South
Although there is disagreement on the origins o f batik, most agree the colorful cloth
reached Java in Indonesia by the 7th century. Its production technique spread throughout the
island, then over the centuries batik spread to Sumatra and north into M alaysia’s coastal areas
and southern Thailand.
Javanese batik displays the peoples’ view of the
universe. Three traditional, easy-to-obtain colours are
used - indigo, brown, and white - which represent the
three major Hindu Gods: Brahma, Vishnu and Siva.
Nobility have special patterns, with wider stripes or
wavy lines indicating a higher rank.
Sumatra’s batik dates to the 13th century. Sumatra’s
ethnic groups have their own styles o f batik, which use
clay for the dye. Other Indonesian islands have batik
similar to those found in Java and Sumatra.
The first introduction o f Malaysian batik is in the
17th century. Today, tourists can find Malaysian batik on
the east coast in Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu and
Pahang. Motifs tend to be of plants but geometric shapes as human and animal images are
taboo.
Batik finally made its way to southern Thailand, and locals still wear it as their daily
clothes or as uniforms at work. Themes vary from the islands landscape and important parts
o f island culture such as coconut shells, palm trees, tropical flowers, and fishing boats.
Batik, has made a significant contribution to Singapore’s arts scene, with traditional and
contemporary presentations.
So critical is batik to the Javanese and all of Indonesia that in 2009, UNESCO designated
Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Silk Weaving in the ASEAN Region
For the silk textile lover, the ASEAN region contains a
treasure trove o f the most beautiful hand-woven fabrics found
anywhere in the world. These textiles are surprising in their
diversity: from the ikats o f Cambodia and Thailand, to the
golden songket o f Indonesia and Malaysia, to the
Philippine pina silk and the Vietnamese silk shantung - each
country offers its own century-old weaving traditions to visitors.
Weaving at the household and village level is done on
large wooden frame looms, often under stilt houses.
Intricate Cambodian ikats are world-renowned. It can take
up to several days o r more to produce one meter o f an
intricate ikat pattern. Ikat patterns were traditionally
passed from generation to generation by memory; prior to
the war, more than 200 different patterns were known to
be in existence, but it is unclear how many have survived.
Artisans Angkor, located in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, trains young Cambodians from
rural areas in the art o f weaving and other Cambodian crafts.
In Thailand, the cultivation o f silkworms and weaving can be traced back thousands of
years. Weaving patterns o f Thailand’s finest weaving, including mudmee, or ikat, are rich and

Angkor was an early civilization that flourished in north-western Cambodia from the
early 800’s to the 1400’s. The most famous capital of this civilization was also called Angkor.
Cambodian kings built several cities between 820 and the 1100’s. The city o f Angkor was the
most magnificent. It m ay have had a million people, more than any European city at that time.
The city included Angkor Thom, which was actually a city within the city o f Angkor. The city
o f Angkor also contained many temples and palaces. The city and its temples rank as one of
the artistic and architectural wonders o f the world. Carved scenes o f Cambodian life and
Buddhist or Hindu mythology decorate the walls o f the temples.
One o f the temples, Angkor Wat, is probably the finest architectural monument in
Cambodia. It has a pyramidal form which imitates the mythological home o f the Hindu gods.
Angkor Wat was constructed in the 1100’s to honour the Hindu god Vishnu. It was also used
as an astronomical observatory. Angkor Wat later became the tomb o f the Cambodian king
who had ordered its construction. Another temple, the Bayon, stands at the centre of Angkor
Thom. It was dedicated to Buddha and the reigning king.
The civilization o f Angkor reached its peak during the 1100’s and then began to decline.
Invasions from neighbouring Thailand, epidemics of malaria and disputes within the Royal
1 1 8 - Lcfu H oang T ri
Cambodian family may have caused this decline. Thai forces captured the city of Angkor in
1431 but soon abandoned it and forest growth gradually covered most of the city. From the

Globa! warming
Every day, light from the sun warms the earth,
causing it to release heat. Gases in the earth’s
atmosphere - mostly carbon dioxide (CO2 ) -
stop some o f the heat from escaping into space
so that the earth is kept warm. For the past
10,000 years, this heat was kept the earth at
regular temperatures. However, over the past
100 years, scientists have noticed higher levels
of carbon dioxide. More carbon dioxide means
more heat, which means higher temperatures
on Earth. W e’ve already seen some consequences of global warming. Nine o f the ten warmest
years in history have occurred in the last fifteen years. Ground that has been frozen since the
last Ice Age is melting. There are more hurricanes and disastrous storms than ever before.
So, what do you think is causing global warming? What, if anything, should we do about it?
Post your comment.
Task 2: Read the comments. Would the bloggers agree or disagree with the statement.
Circle the correct answer.
6. Gloria would agree/ disagree with this statement: “Global warming is not a problem.”
7. Winston would agree/ disagree with this statement: “Global warming is a natural event.”
8. Sam would agree/ disagree with this statement: “Changes must be made to deal with
global warming.”
9. Kris would agree/ disagree with this statement: “Global warming is caused by people.”
10. Linda would agree/ disagree with this statement: “IPCC is a reliable source for
information about global warming.”
II)-R ead the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Consequences of Global Warming on Wildlife
Increasing global temperatures are expected to harm ecosystems, pushing extinction to
those species that cannot adapt. The first comprehensive assessment of the extinction risk
from global warming found that more than 1 million species could be extinct by 2050 if the
current rate continues.
A recent study o f nearly 2,000 species o f plants and animals discovered movement
toward the poles at an average rate o f 3.8 miles per decade.
T F
1. A large number o f species are at risk of extinction due to global warming. □ □
2. The latest climate change report found that 2,000 species o f plants and □ □
animals are likely to be at increased risk o f extinction if global average
temperature increases by more than 2.7 to 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Some polar bears are drowning because they have to travel farther to come □ □
to their natural habitat.
4. The acidification of the oceans makes coral reefs vital to ocean ecosystems. □ □
5. A 3.6 degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature is predicted to wipe out □ □
possibly 97 percent o f the world's coral reefs.
Ill)-R ea d the passage, an d then decide w hether the statem ents are tru e (T) or false (F).
Global warming is primarily a problem o f too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,
which acts as a blanket, trapping heat and wanning the planet. Globally, the average surface
temperature has increased more than one degree Fahrenheit since the late 1800s. Most of that
increase has occurred over just the past three decades.
We are overloading our atmosphere with
carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily
drives up the planet’s temperature. Carbon
dioxide comes from the fossil fuels we bum for
energy, such as coal, natural gas, and oil, and the
loss o f forests due to deforestation, especially in
the tropics.
Within the scientific community, there is no
debate. Most scientists agree that global warming
is happening and that human activity is the primary cause.
Global warming is already having significant and costly effects - and these consequences
will only intensify as the planet’s temperature continues to rise. Global warming is
accelerating the rate o f sea level rise and dramatically increasing coastal flooding risks.
Climate change has significant effects for our health, including increased air pollution and a
longer and more intense allergy season.
We must significantly reduce the heat-trapping emissions we are putting into the
atmosphere. As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our carbon footprint.
Tropical deforestation accounts for about 10 percent o f the world’s heat-trapping emissions.

1. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to the rise in the Earth’s Q Q
