2 Read the article. What's the most amusing or unusual hoax image you've seen? Do you think hoaxes are a problem? Why? / Why not?

(Đọc bài viết. Hình ảnh chơi khăm thú vị hoặc bất thường nhất mà bạn từng thấy là gì? Bạn có nghĩ rằng trò lừa bịp là một vấn đề? Tại sao? / Tại sao không?)

It’s all a hoax

Although technology has created an increase in hoax images, the first fake photo dates back to the 1830s. Some years later, a book claimed to show the surface of the moon - even though this wasn't actually photographed. An obsession with the spirit world led to a series of photos showing ghosts and fairies, and 1960s interest in space travel produced numerous images of alien life. Nowadays, there is plenty of online evidence of our addiction to this visual trickery - there seems to be an endless demand for amusing images of monster cats, mutant squids, and friends posing with Hollywood stars. It can be almost impossible to tell the difference between what's real and what's fake.

Phương pháp giải

Tạm dịch

Tất cả chỉ là trò lừa bịp

Mặc dù công nghệ đã tạo ra sự gia tăng số lượng hình ảnh lừa đảo nhưng bức ảnh giả đầu tiên đã có từ những năm 1830. Vài năm sau, một cuốn sách khẳng định đã cho thấy bề mặt của mặt trăng - mặc dù thực tế bề mặt này không được chụp ảnh. Nỗi ám ảnh về thế giới linh hồn đã dẫn đến một loạt bức ảnh về ma và thần tiên, đồng thời mối quan tâm về du hành vũ trụ vào những năm 1960 đã tạo ra vô số hình ảnh về cuộc sống ngoài hành tinh. Ngày nay, có rất nhiều bằng chứng trực tuyến về việc chúng ta nghiện trò đánh lừa thị giác này - dường như có nhu cầu vô tận về những hình ảnh gây cười về mèo quái vật, mực đột biến và bạn bè chụp ảnh cùng các ngôi sao Hollywood. Hầu như không thể phân biệt được đâu là thật và đâu là giả.

Lời giải của GV Loigiaihay.com

One of the most amusing hoax images I've seen was a photo circulating online of a giant cat that appeared to be the size of a car, sitting in the middle of a city street. The image was incredibly convincing at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you could see that it was digitally manipulated.

(Một trong những hình ảnh chơi khăm thú vị nhất mà tôi từng thấy là bức ảnh lan truyền trên mạng về một con mèo khổng lồ có kích thước bằng một chiếc ô tô, ngồi giữa đường phố. Hình ảnh thoạt nhìn cực kỳ thuyết phục, nhưng khi xem xét kỹ hơn, bạn có thể thấy rằng nó đã được chỉnh sửa bằng kỹ thuật số.)

As for whether hoaxes are a problem, I think they can be. While some hoax images are harmless and just meant for entertainment purposes, others can spread misinformation or even cause panic. In today's digital age where information can spread rapidly, it's important for people to be able to discern fact from fiction. Hoaxes can erode trust in genuine information sources and make it harder for people to distinguish truth from falsehood. So, while hoaxes may seem harmless on the surface, they can contribute to a broader problem of misinformation and distrust in society.

(Về việc liệu trò lừa bịp có phải là một vấn đề hay không, tôi nghĩ chúng có thể như vậy. Trong khi một số hình ảnh lừa bịp vô hại và chỉ nhằm mục đích giải trí, những hình ảnh khác có thể lan truyền thông tin sai lệch hoặc thậm chí gây hoảng loạn. Trong thời đại kỹ thuật số ngày nay, nơi thông tin có thể lan truyền nhanh chóng, điều quan trọng là mọi người có thể phân biệt được sự thật và hư cấu. Trò lừa bịp có thể làm xói mòn niềm tin vào các nguồn thông tin xác thực và khiến mọi người khó phân biệt sự thật với sự giả dối. Vì vậy, mặc dù bề ngoài những trò lừa bịp có vẻ vô hại nhưng chúng có thể góp phần gây ra vấn đề rộng hơn về thông tin sai lệch và sự mất lòng tin trong xã hội.)

Read the passage and decide whether the statement is true or false.

The Owners of the "News”

The role of the media is essentially defined by the manipulation of information-oriented towards the control of "public opinion", but their goals are not social as described in the mythology of "journalistic objectivity".

The famous ethical flags of journalism: fairness, objectivity and freedom of expression, are nothing more than myths concealing the billionaire media business that moves daily market information on a global scale. The process of manufacturing and distributing information is not motivated by the need to "inform" but by the capitalist need to sell news. To do this, the media, like any capitalist company, generates massive consumer needs in society and plots information strategies aimed at encouraging business growth, positioning themselves in order to successfully compete in the market.

First, information is a commodity to produce economic returns like any other commercial product offered in the capitalist market. In functional terms (and beyond the legend that is produced around it) the newspaper businesses are not guided by social purposes but for the pursuit of economic gain. Secondly, in the light of the strategic nature of the communication function to develop from the point of view of preservation of the "governance", system the media is a key tool for the control and manipulation of the economic, political and social processes.

In the news business, like any business venture, the media only works for those who can pay for their "informative" services. This is why a relationship of mutual survival between the media, governments and major economic groups exists. These groups decide what is news and what is not and use this strategy to control political, economic and social trends.

1. The article suggests that the media manipulates information in order to control what the people believe.

2. Journalism is a billion-dollar business that moves information on a global scale.

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Instagram was founded by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in October 2010. Systrom and Krieger initially wanted to create an application for mobile photography called Burbn, but upon developing their idea further, they found that it was too similar to the existing search-result app called Foursquare. They tweaked their original idea until they came up with a photo-sharing app. The name “Instagram” is a combination of “instant camera” and “telegram.”

From the outset, Instagram proved extremely popular. Only two months after its launch, it achieved a million users and reached ten million users in its first year. The simple idea of sharing photos in a social media setting appealed to a wide variety of phone users. As time went on, Systrom and Krieger began making a series of technology-related improvements to the app —making it compatible with Android and Windows phones, for example - as well as improving the user experience. In January 2011, it added hashtags, offering users the ability to find posts and people related to common interests. As Instagram grew into one of the most popular apps in the world, tech titans took notice. In 2012, Facebook purchased Instagram for one billion dollars.

In November 2012, Instagram launched web versions of user profiles, giving desktop users the ability to access Instagram profiles. However, the website profile launch retained limited functionality and lacked a search bar; the feature was redesigned in 2015. Instagram also began allowing the upload of non-square photos to the app in August 2015, a notable shift from the look and feel of the app since its inception. Rather than cropping down larger photos to a neat square, users could upload any photo of any dimension to share with friends and followers.

In March 2016, Instagram changed the nature of its news feed, the place where users scroll through newly-posted photos from those they follow, from chronological to algorithmic. “Algorithmic” means that Instagram uses computer algorithms and artificial intelligence to make “decisions” on what its data predicts you’ll like best. While this decision was met with backlash at first, it was made in order to prevent users from missing important posts from friends and family that might have gone unnoticed with a standard chronological timeline approach. Later in 2016, the app underwent major aesthetic changes; the app itself revamped to a black-and-white theme, while the app icon changed to a whimsical rainbow-colored design.

Today, Instagram boasts 800 million users. Every day, 55 million photos are uploaded and 1.2 billion likes are recorded.

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

The Internet is the world’s largest computer network with over 100 million users worldwide and this number is doubling from year to year. The Internet is like an international highway of information. Now, you can sit at your computer, choose a route and arrive at your destination -that is, the information you need. Today, from your computer, you can access a library in one country, talk to an expert on a certain topic in a second country and send your own information to someone doing research in a third. So, we don’t know what will be next in the not-too-distant future.

The Internet was born when scientists attempted to connect the American Defence Network to other satellite networks in order to exchange information. Soon, scientific and educational institutions as well as research departments became interested in linking up, and, before long, the Internet had expanded into an international information and communication network.  

The Internet now reaches all the countries in the world. You can be connected to the Internet directly through your own computer or you can hook up to an access system which allows you to use some of the Internet’s services.

To tell the truth, there are problems with modern technology like the Internet. For example, copyright laws and other media regulations haven’t managed to come to grips with the Internet yet. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous people have already recognized the commercial potential of the Internet. They have used it to sell stolen goods illegally and even pornorgraphy, which would obviously make the Internet unsuitable for use in schools. Both government and computer experts are concerned about the misuse of such a system and must do their best to prevent it. Nobody actually owns the Internet, nobody runs it and no one has the power to switch it off. Thus, the nature of the Internet will be shaped by the culture and morality of the people who use it.

Promoting a charity event

(Quảng bá sự kiện từ thiện)

1. Listen and read.

(Nghe và đọc.)


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 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.

DEBATE CORNER

Digital media is any form of media that is created, viewed, and distributed via electronic devices. Examples of digital media include websites, social media, videos, video games, digital advertising, software, and electronic books. With the development of technology and smart devices in recent years, digital media saw a sharp rise. This raises the question of whether digital media will replace traditional media such as printed newspapers, broadcast TV, and radio. Below are two opinion pieces sent to our Debate Corner this week.

Nowadays, it is much easier and more convenient to access information via digital media. Most digital content is also freely accessible. All it takes is a few clicks, and you can read the latest news, watch videos, or see online adverts. In addition, digital media forms are more interactive. For example, customers can provide instant feedback, which can be used to solve any problems. In return, almost every organisation can reach its target customers easily via digital media. Furthermore, digital media is more flexible since information can be updated easily and frequently. By contrast, articles in printed newspapers or adverts on TV cannot be changed immediately. With more than 75 million social media users in Viet Nam and the number is increasing, it will not be long before traditional media becomes a thing of the past. - Minh Quang

Digital media is very convenient, but its strengths are also its own weaknesses. Since anyone with access to computers and the Internet can post or share information online, it raises the question of how credible it is. On the other hand, traditional media offers information from reliable sources that are fact-checked. Moreover, let us not forget that digital media relies on the Internet and smart devices to work well. There are still remote or disadvantaged areas in Viet Nam where access to technology is limited or too expensive. Many people also still struggle with technology. So although digital media is on the rise, traditional media such as printed newspapers, broadcast TV, and radio is here to stay. - Pham Hoa

1. distributed

2. accessible

3. interactive

4. credible

a. that can be trusted or believed

MASS MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD

There are different types of mass media and some work better than others in different situations. They could be as advanced as digital billboards, or as simple as public loudspeakers.

Digital billboards

Unlike a traditional billboard which can only show one printed image, a digital billboard can change between different messages. Digital billboards are also considered more attractive than traditional ones, and people are more likely to notice them. Moreover, they can also be updated in real time.

Nowadays, digital billboards are common in many big cities around the world. It is hard to imagine places like Times Square in New York, Piccadilly Circus in London, or Shibuya in Tokyo without bright light adverts. Although they are growing in popularity, there have been concerns about their impact on the surrounding environment. Global light pollution is increasing each year. The constant light emitted by digital billboards often confuses birds, harms insects, and causes health problems in humans, too.

Public loudspeakers

In the past, public loudspeakers were used during the war to warn people of air attacks. Nowadays, they are still used in parts of Japan, the Philippines, and the US to alert people to natural disasters such as storms, earthquakes, and tornadoes. In Viet Nam, they are used to communicate important public announcements to residents. However, the noise from a city-wide loudspeaker system can be a problem to some people.

Bài 18 :

STARS OF THE vlogosphere

A

Helicopters circled the sky above Piccadilly Circus as the police officers below struggled to control the thousands of fans on the streets outside the bookstore. Who were the thousands of fans waiting for? That latest pop sensation? No, a 'vlogger' - a video blogger.

B

What makes vloggers so popular? Successful vloggers share some common characteristics. They are outgoing, quick-witted and spontaneous in front of 10 their webcams. There is also a lot of interaction with the audience and feedback on their videos. This means vloggers can adapt the content of their videos to keep their viewers happy. It is material that is made by young people for young people without any intrusion from media corporations. What is more, thanks to the accessibility of modern technology, the vlogs can be watched anywhere at any time. All these ingredients have created a two-way relationship between vloggers and their subscribers, based on shared interests and trust that cannot be found between the providers and users of other media.

C

However, it appears that those shared interests and that trust might become negatively affected by money. Some of the big-name vloggers can earn 25 up to £20,000 for displaying an advertisement on their channel. They also earn a lot for mentioning or reviewing a product in a vlog. About 1,000 vloggers around the world earn at least £100,000 a year from their YouTube income. And profits are sometimes 30 earned at the expense of honesty.

D

So, will vlogs go the way of many TV programmes and films? Not according to the vloggers, who emphasise their creative independence over making money. However, Zoella, one of the few vloggers in the public eye in Britain, caused a scandal after publishing a book and claiming that it had always been her dream to write a novel. Shortly later, she had to admit that she had not written it alone and her name was justbeing used to sell it. Many experts saw it as a sign that vlogging had lost its innocence and that large media corporations were taking control.

NGÔI SAO CỦA vlogosphere

A

Máy bay trực thăng lượn vòng trên bầu trời phía trên Rạp xiếc Piccadilly trong khi các sĩ quan cảnh sát bên dưới chật vật kiểm soát hàng nghìn người hâm mộ trên đường phố bên ngoài hiệu sách. Hàng ngàn người hâm mộ đang chờ đợi ai? Hiện tượng nhạc pop mới nhất đó? Không, một 'vlogger' - một blogger video.

B

Điều gì khiến vlogger được yêu thích đến vậy? Các vlogger thành công đều có chung một số đặc điểm. Họ là những người hướng ngoại, nhanh trí và tự nhiên trước 10 webcam của mình. Ngoài ra còn có rất nhiều tương tác với khán giả và phản hồi về video của họ. Điều này có nghĩa là các vlogger có thể điều chỉnh nội dung video của họ để khiến người xem hài lòng. Đó là tài liệu được người trẻ làm ra cho giới trẻ mà không có sự can thiệp nào từ các tập đoàn truyền thông. Hơn nữa, nhờ khả năng tiếp cận của công nghệ hiện đại, các vlog có thể được xem mọi lúc, mọi nơi. Tất cả những thành phần này đã tạo ra mối quan hệ hai chiều giữa vlogger và người đăng ký của họ, dựa trên sở thích và sự tin tưởng chung mà không thể tìm thấy giữa nhà cung cấp và người dùng các phương tiện truyền thông khác.

C

Tuy nhiên, có vẻ như những lợi ích chung và niềm tin đó có thể bị ảnh hưởng tiêu cực bởi tiền bạc. Một số vlogger tên tuổi có thể kiếm được từ 25 đến 20.000 bảng Anh khi hiển thị quảng cáo trên kênh của họ. Họ cũng kiếm được rất nhiều tiền khi đề cập hoặc đánh giá một sản phẩm trong vlog. Khoảng 1.000 vlogger trên khắp thế giới kiếm được ít nhất 100.000 bảng mỗi năm từ thu nhập YouTube của họ. Và lợi nhuận đôi khi kiếm được 30 đô la bằng sự trung thực.

D

Vậy vlog có phù hợp với nhiều chương trình truyền hình và phim ảnh không? Không theo ý kiến của các vlogger, những người nhấn mạnh sự độc lập sáng tạo của họ trong việc kiếm tiền. Tuy nhiên, Zoella, một trong số ít vlogger được công chúng ở Anh biết đến, đã gây ra vụ bê bối sau khi xuất bản một cuốn sách và tuyên bố rằng viết một cuốn tiểu thuyết luôn là ước mơ của cô. Ít lâu sau, cô phải thừa nhận rằng cô không viết nó một mình và tên của cô chỉ được dùng để bán nó. Nhiều chuyên gia coi đây là dấu hiệu cho thấy vlogging đã mất đi sự hồn nhiên và các tập đoàn truyền thông lớn đang nắm quyền kiểm soát.

2 Read the news reports. In what two different ways did Facebook help to catch criminals? Which story does the photo belong with?

(Đọc các báo cáo tin tức. Facebook đã giúp bắt tội phạm theo hai cách khác nhau nào? Bức ảnh thuộc về câu chuyện nào?)

 

1 BURGLAR LEAVES HIS FACEBOOK PAGE ON VICTIM'S COMPUTER

MARTINSBURG - The popular online social networking site Facebook helped lead to a burglar's arrest after he stopped to check his account on the victim's computer, but forgot to log out before leaving her home with two diamond rings.

2 Fugitive caught after updating his status on Facebook

Maxi Sopo was living the dream of a fugitive abroad, kicking back on the beaches of Cancún by day, partying in the clubs by night. Then he did two things that are never a good idea when you're on the run from the authorities: he started posting Facebook updates about how much fun he was having - and he added a former Justice Department official to his list of Facebook friends.

Bài 26 :

2 Read the text and match the paragraphs (A–C) with headings (1-3).

(Đọc văn bản và nối các đoạn văn (A–C) với các tiêu đề (1-3).)

1. A challenge

2. Well-known mathematician

3. Different interests

A

Pierre de Fermat was born on August 17 in 1601 in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France. He was a famous French mathematician who is often called the founder of the modern theory of numbers. Fermat was one of the two leading mathematicians of the first half of the 17th century (the other was René Descart). 1_____ He was also regarded as the inventor of differential calculus, and a co-founder of the theory of probability.

B

What strikes as a surprise is that Fermat never considered doing research in Mathematics his job. Although Fermat studied law when he was at college, he developed strong love for foreign languages, literature and mathematics. He read a lot of documents and taught himself in many fields. As early as 1629 Fermat began a lot of research on mathematical theories including algebra and geometry. 2_____ He served in the local parliament at Toulouse, becoming councillor in 1634. In 1638 he was named to the Criminal Court. Despite his busy work at the court, Fermat never stopped learning and doing mathematics. In 1679, he published Introduction to Loci in which he presented that the study of loci, or sets of points with certain characteristics, could be facilitated by the application of algebra to geometry through a coordinate system.

C

The most interesting story about Fermat should be his last theorem, which is also known as Fermat's great theorem. It is a statement that there are no natural numbers x, y, z such that x + y = z", in which n is a natural number greater than 2. In 1636, Fermat, the distinguished mathematician, wrote in his copy of the Arithmetica that he had discovered a truly proof of this theorem, but the margin of the book was too small for him to write it down. 3_____ No one could prove or disprove Fermat's last theorem. Not until 1993 could the English mathematician Andrew Wiles devise a proof of this theorem. 4_____ Andrew Wiles had been interested in Fermat's last theorem since the age of ten. His years of searching for an answer finally became successful.

Dying for a selfie

Most of us have taken a selfie at one time or another, be it a photo of ourselves in a beautiful place, during a performance by our favourite band, or on a memorable night out with friends. Even monarchs, prime ministers and presidents have been seen in the news grinning inanely at the screen of a smartphone. 1 _______ In several cases, this action has had disastrous consequences.

Take, for example, the Spaniard who was killed by a bull while he was taking a selfie during the annual bull run in a village near his hometown. 2 _______ Incidents such as these led to the death toll from selfie-related incidents reaching double figures for the first time in 2015, overtaking the number of victims of shark attacks. Most of the cases involve people taking selfies while posing with animals, or falling from high places.

Despite the risks, social media is full of pictures featuring near misses that could have been fatal under other circumstances. Under the caption 'Most dangerous selfie ever', a woman posing at a stadium can be seen narrowly avoiding being hit in the head by a baseball approaching her. 3 _______ What is even more worrying, however, is that the woman herself dares others to better the shot, seemingly overlooking the fact that by doing so, she is endangering the lives of her 'friends' as well.

In response to the increasing threat posed by the selfie, the authorities have started to take action. National parks, such as the Waterton Canyon in Denver, Colorado, have closed their gates to visitors who have been getting too close to the bears to get them in the photo. 4 _______ But if instructions like these are really necessary, then perhaps it is about time we asked ourselves which is more important, a 'like' or a life?

A Or the Singaporean tourist who died when he fell from cliffs on the coast of Bali.

B The alternative to taking unnecessary risks is to use Photoshop to create outrageous pictures.

C The Russian Interior Ministry has launched a public education campaign advising selfie-takers against balancing on dangerous surfaces or posing with their pets, among other things.

D But today, more and more people are putting their lives at risk in an attempt to get the most shocking picture to share on social media.

E Yet the photo has received thousands of 'likes', and the comments below it suggest that this behaviour is something to be admired.

How My Family Uses Media

Emily Allen    

July 12, 2023

Hey, everyone! This week, we learned about different forms of media, and that got me thinking about how my family uses media. I have noticed that the types of media my family uses have been changing over the last few years.

My family loves baseball, and we have always watched the games on TV. But recently, I've been using social media to get news about it. I mainly use it to follow the pages for different teams and get up-to-the-minute updates on games and players from all around the country. I've been posting videos of exciting plays on my page so my friends and I can comment on them. Now, I feel confident when I talk about baseball with my family members.

My family stopped buying newspapers and magazines about a year ago to save paper and help the environment. I used to enjoy reading fashion magazines, but recently I've been following a few online fashion sites, so I don't really miss print magazines. My parents used to read the newspaper every day, but now they get the news online, and they love it. I don't read much online news though I do occasionally use it to research stuff for school.

Of course, we have a radio and television, too. Ever since I was a little kid, my family has gathered around the TV on Sunday afternoons to watch sports and game shows. It's a kind of family tradition, so I don't think we'll ever get rid of our TV. As for the radio, I think it's a bit outdated, but my grandfather still keeps it to remember the old days.

That's how my family uses media. How about your family? Let me know by commenting below!

Gia đình tôi sử dụng phương tiện truyền thông như thế nào

Emily Allen

Ngày 12 tháng 7 năm 2023

Nè mọi người! Tuần này, chúng ta đã tìm hiểu về các hình thức truyền thông khác nhau và điều đó khiến tôi suy nghĩ về cách gia đình tôi sử dụng phương tiện truyền thông. Tôi nhận thấy rằng các loại phương tiện truyền thông mà gia đình tôi sử dụng đã thay đổi trong vài năm qua.

Gia đình tôi yêu thích bóng chày và chúng tôi luôn xem các trận đấu trên TV. Nhưng gần đây, tôi đã sử dụng mạng xã hội để biết tin tức về nó. Tôi chủ yếu sử dụng nó để theo dõi các trang của các đội khác nhau và nhận thông tin cập nhật mới nhất về các trận đấu và người chơi từ khắp nơi trên đất nước. Tôi đã đăng các video về trận kịch thú vị trên trang của mình để tôi và bạn bè có thể bình luận về chúng.

Bây giờ tôi cảm thấy tự tin khi nói chuyện về bóng chày với các thành viên trong gia đình.

Gia đình tôi đã ngừng mua báo và tạp chí khoảng một năm trước để tiết kiệm giấy và góp phần bảo vệ môi trường. Trước đây tôi rất thích đọc tạp chí thời trang, nhưng gần đây tôi theo dõi một số trang thời trang trực tuyến nên tôi không thực sự nhớ tạp chí in. Cha mẹ tôi thường đọc báo hàng ngày, nhưng bây giờ họ đọc tin tức trực tuyến và họ rất thích nó. Tôi không đọc nhiều tin tức trực tuyến mặc dù thỉnh thoảng tôi cũng sử dụng nó để nghiên cứu nội dung cho trường học.

Tất nhiên, chúng tôi cũng có đài phát thanh và truyền hình. Kể từ khi tôi còn nhỏ, gia đình tôi đã quây quần bên TV vào những buổi chiều Chủ nhật để xem các chương trình thể thao và trò chơi. Đó là một loại truyền thống gia đình, vì vậy tôi không nghĩ chúng ta sẽ từ bỏ TV. Còn chiếc radio thì tôi nghĩ nó hơi lỗi thời nhưng ông nội tôi vẫn giữ nó để nhớ về ngày xưa.

Đó là cách gia đình tôi sử dụng phương tiện truyền thông. Thế còn gia đình bạn? Hãy cho tôi biết bằng cách bình luận bên dưới nhé!
