Transcript:
I’m going to report on a case study of a programme which has been set up to help rural populations in
Mozambique, a largely agricultural country in South-East Africa.

The programme worked with three communities in Chicualacuala district, near the Limpopo River.
This is a dry and arid region, with unpredictable rainfall. Because of this, people in the area were
unable to support themselves through agriculture and instead they used the forest as a means of
providing themselves with an income, mainly by selling charcoal. However, this was not a sustainable
way of living in the long term, as they were rapidly using up this resource.

To support agriculture in this dry region, the programme focused primarily on making use of existing
water resources from the Limpopo River by setting up systems of irrigation (Q11), which would
provide a dependable water supply for crops and animals. The programme worked closely with the
district government in order to find the best way of implementing this. The region already had one
farmers’ association, and it was decided to set up two more of these. These associations planned and
carried out activities including water management, livestock breeding and agriculture, and it was
notable that in general, women (Q12) formed the majority of the workforce.

It was decided that in order to keep the crops safe from animals, both wild and domestic, special areas
should be fenced off where the crops could be grown. The community was responsible for creating
these fences, but the programme provided the necessary wire (Q13) for making them.

Once the area had been fenced off, it could be cultivated. The land was dug, so that vegetables and
cereals appropriate to the climate could be grown, and the programme provided the necessary seeds
(Q14) for this. The programme also provided pumps so that water could be brought from the river in

pipes to the fields. However, the labour was all provided by local people, and they also provided and
put up the posts (Q15) that supported the fences around the fields.

Once the programme had been set up, its development was monitored carefully. The farmers were able
to grow enough produce not just for their own needs, but also to sell. However, getting the produce to
places where it could be marketed was sometimes a problem, as the farmers did not have access to
transport (Q16), and this resulted in large amounts of produce, especially vegetables, being spoiled.
This problem was discussed with the farmers’ associations and it was decided that in order to prevent
food from being spoiled, the farmers needed to learn techniques for its preservation. (Q17)

There was also an additional initiative that had not been originally planned, but which became a central
feature of the programme. This was when farmers started to dig holes for tanks in the fenced-off areas
and to fill these with water and use them for breeding fish (Q18) – an important source of protein.
After a time, another suggestion was made by local people which hadn’t been part of the programme’s
original proposal, but which was also adopted later on. They decided to try setting up colonies of bees
(Q19), which would provide honey both for their own consumption and to sell.

So what lessons can be learned from this programme? First of all, it tells us that in dry, arid regions, if
there is access to a reliable source of water, there is great potential for the development of agriculture.
In Chicualacuala, there was a marked improvement in agricultural production, which improved food
security and benefited local people by providing them with both food and income. However, it’s
important to set realistic timelines for each phase of the programme, especially for its design (Q20), as
mistakes made at this stage may be hard to correct later on.

The programme demonstrates that sustainable development is possible in areas where …

into use.

- Chia thì “past simple” phù hợp với mốc thời gian của đoạn văn

==> Came

73. Obscure (adj): difficult to understand: tối nghĩa, khó hiểu

- Dựa vào context “This made it possible to keep a permanent record of samples of child speech, so that
analysts could listen repeatedly to obscure ...” ta có thể đoán được từ cần dùng là EXTRACT/SOUND

ít nào trong câu”

=> EXTRACTS/SOUNDS

76. Pay attention to (collocation): chú ý tới

thay vì “it is” - INVERSION

=> Dùng “NOR + be + S + ...”

78. Make judgement (collocation): đưa ra quyết định

79. Dựa vào context – ta đoán được đó là 1 nhiệm vụ -- nhưng mà có 2 từ chỉ khái niệm này và ta cần
phân biệt:

- TASK: a piece of work that has to be done (một phần của công việc phải được làm như là một nhiệm
vụ, nghĩa vụ, phận sự).

=> CHỌN “TASK”

80. Tham khảo thêm cách sử dụng các động từ chỉ tri giác:

+ Dạng 1: Notice/see/watch/hear... + somebody/something + V0 (không chia thì) - Dùng khi mình

thấy/nghe/chứn kiến ... 1 sự việc 1 cách đầy đủ (từ đầu đến cuối), 1 sự việc dài

+ Dạng 2: Notice/see/watch/hear... + somebody/something + V-ing (present participle) - Dùng khi

mình chứng kiến 1 sự việc ngắn, nhấn mạnh tính tiếp diễn

=> Dựa vào context - chọn dạng 2

- Trong câu có hint “passive voice” -- Chuyển “be” - “being” theo đúng dạng 2.

==> BEING

killed by drought…. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain
and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the
surprising western wild grasses did just that.”

92. D rumour/legend/word has it + that …: used when you are reporting what people

94. B Dòng văn có nhấn mạnh tới việc những người trong bài đọc đã vội vã băng qua
"Great American Desert" để tìm kiếm 1 vùng đất màu mỡ hơn (theo họ mong là
vậy).
- Vậy qua đây ta có thể suy luận rằng: "Great American Desert" lúc đầu không
được coi là 1 nơi màu mỡ để canh tác.
- Ngoài ra “in their haste to cross the Great American Desert” -- có thể họ không
xem nơi này là một nơi có đất đai phì nhiêu >< mà là đầy sỏi đá, khô cằn -- nên
họ mới rời đi để tìm một nơi khác tốt hơn
=> Chọn B (vì lúc đầu thì “Great American Desert” không được coi là một vùng
đất phi nhiêu, như những phân tích trên)
95. C Barren = infertile (adj): (of land) too poor to produce much or any vegetation:
cằn cỗi
96. A Preferred = favored (adj): liked or wanted more than anything else: được yêu
thích
97. C But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often
killed by drought.
98. B Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were
they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer
and autumn rains.
99. C immune to drought (not affected by dry weather)
not juicy (little moisture)
had short, hard stems (tough stems)
- Không đề cập đến việc có thể được trồng trong nhà
- “And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew
on the ground.” >< “They can be grown indoors.”

It is totally true that how powerful the Internet technology can be, teachers still play an indispensable
part in the success of a student. I entirely concur with this viewpoint, as now will be explained.

To begin with, teachers have not only professional expertise but also the ability to organize, summarize
and then simplify the knowledge in order to facilitate the learning process of a student. This ability
enables teachers to answer the questions arising during students’ learning. If students learn from
television, on the other hand, it is very likely that their question remain unanswered. In addition, the
role of teachers does not just stop at imparting knowledge, A teacher can be a motivator stimulating
students in their education, an instructor closely supervising students’ progress, or a predesoor whgo
can pass on valuable experience to students. Sometimes a teacher can be parent showing students moral
lessons in life. For those reason, students can learn a great deal form their teachers.

Some opponents of this view may claim that even the most knowledgeable teacher can become inferior
to a computer connected to the Internet or television than from their teachers. This is true, to some
extent, but it should be born in mind that exposing to a reservoir of knowledge does not guarantee an
excellent student. In contrast, this can be counter-productive when too much information can leave
learners both overwhelmed and disoriented. Students, especially those with limited learning capacity,
need those who can instruct them at the initial stages, give them feedback on their performance when
necessary and help them understand all complicated theories.

In conclusion, I believe that the role of teachers is irreplaceable regardless of the developed technology.
