Bài 3 :

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

 In the world today there are 5,000 to 6,000 living languages, of which English is the most widely used. As a mother tongue, it ranks second only to Chinese, which is little used outside China.

English is the most international of languages. It is used as the language of aviation, international sport and pop music. Sixty percent of the world’s radio stations broadcast in English, and more than half of the world’s scientific papers are printed in English.

It is true that a great number of people are involved in the use of English. To people in Africa, Asia, and South America, English is an important foreign language to master. In most countries in the world, the English language is used as the language of business, commerce, and technology. English is now an effective medium of international communication. However, it is the written English which is not systematically phonetic, that causes difficulties to non-native speakers.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

ENGLISH IS CONFUSING

“Good evening, everybody!” said the teacher, Donna. “Where is everybody?” That was sort of a daily joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. It was summer time. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was always smaller than during fall and spring semesters. “I don’t know, teacher. Maybe they are late or not coming,” said  one student. “Maybe watching TV football tonight.”

“Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there’s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let’s get started, okay? We're on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we’re studying participles as adjectives.

Students are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we're just going to practice the present participle. “The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, ‘Grammar is boring’ means that the subject grammar causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting,’ we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, ‘The roller coaster is exciting,’ we are saying that the roller  coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing you? Is everyone confused?”

The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.

Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult topics like this one. She  always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your email. You asked me if I knew some fun ways to learn English - yes, I do! Check out these awesome activities you can do - just pay attention to the study methods.

First, you can watch movies or TV shows in English. It's a great way to learn new words. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what is happening, so make sure you turn on the English subtitles to understand the new words clearly.

Second, you can read stories in English. You can choose any type of reading you like (for me, I love reading comics!). Be sure to double-check that you read something a little above your language level to learn some new words each time. Finally, you can listen to your favorite English songs or choose something new to listen to. There are so many singers and songs in English you can pick. It's always easy to find interesting music. Search for the lyrics online and use them when you listen to the singer's words. Which one do you think is your favorite? Let me know if you have any questions. Bye for now!

In 1985, Kachru proposed a model of the different uses of English around the world. There are three concentric circles in the model.

The first of these circles is the Inner Circle, which consists of the traditional English- speaking countries, such as the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. In these regions, English is the first language, and their speakers provide the standards of English.

The next circle is the Outer Circle where English is not the first language but the second or official language. The countries in this circle include India, Singapore, the Philippines, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc. The speakers of these places follow the standards which the countries in the Inner circle provide.

The last circle is the Expanding Circle. People in this circle speak English as a foreign language. Some of the countries in the Expanding Circle are Brazil, Japan, Russia, and Viet Nam. Speakers of English in these places follow the rules which the people in the Inner Circle have established.

If you want to learn English more quickly, lots of reading is important. When you read in English, you can improve your vocabulary, grammar, and writing at the same time.

When you read, try to figure out the meaning of a new word from the words around it. Even if you are not always correct, it is good to practise thinking about what a new word might mean. You may need to learn the meaning of a word or phrase. The more words you understand, the better you will be able to read. A dictionary - hard copy or online version - can help you find the meanings of words which are new to you. You should keep a list of new words, their definitions, and a sentence for each word which shows how to properly use it. You can keep this vocabulary list in a notebook you always have with you. This helps you to revise what you have learnt wherever you are.

1. What skill can you improve when you read in English?

English and world inventions and discoveries

English is often considered to be the international language of science. The spread of English never stops going hand in hand with many world-changing discoveries and inventions. English proves to stand the test of time and becomes an effective tool in communication, in the documentation and sharing of discoveries and inventions.

In communication, the use of English helps to promote international cooperation and aims to encourage significant scientific advancements. English enables scientists, engineers, explorers, and inventors worldwide to think of new ideas and to share their findings.

For ease of information storage and sharing, scientists like employing English to document and share the knowledge of inventions and discoveries, creating easy access to fre development of various fields. The reaches of human thought are widened thanks to scientific publications (original or translated versions) on, for example, Isaac Newton’s law of gravitation, Thomas Edison’s key inventions including the light bulb and recorded sound, Christopher Columbus’s and James Cook’s explorations of new lands, etc. Therefore, translating a wide variety of books written by non-English speaking scientists into English allows the books to reach the masses.

It is hard to imagine life without the English language. If it were not for the English language, would there be another language to play the same role? Or do you wish you could invent a more effective alternative?

Tiếng Anh và những phát minh và khám phá của thế giới

Tiếng Anh thường được coi là ngôn ngữ quốc tế của khoa học. Sự phổ biến của tiếng Anh không bao giờ ngừng đi đôi với nhiều khám phá và phát minh làm thay đổi thế giới. Tiếng Anh đã chứng tỏ khả năng đứng vững trước thử thách của thời gian và trở thành một công cụ hiệu quả trong giao tiếp, trong tài liệu và chia sẻ những khám phá và phát minh.

Trong giao tiếp, việc sử dụng tiếng Anh giúp thúc đẩy hợp tác quốc tế và nhằm mục đích khuyến khích những tiến bộ khoa học quan trọng. Tiếng Anh cho phép các nhà khoa học, kỹ sư, nhà thám hiểm và nhà phát minh trên toàn thế giới nghĩ ra những ý tưởng mới và chia sẻ những phát hiện của họ.

Để dễ dàng lưu trữ và chia sẻ thông tin, các nhà khoa học thích sử dụng tiếng Anh để ghi chép và chia sẻ kiến thức về các phát minh và khám phá, tạo điều kiện dễ dàng tiếp cận sự phát triển của nhiều lĩnh vực khác nhau. Tầm suy nghĩ của con người được mở rộng nhờ các ấn phẩm khoa học (bản gốc hoặc bản dịch), chẳng hạn như định luật hấp dẫn của Isaac Newton, những phát minh quan trọng của Thomas Edison bao gồm bóng đèn và âm thanh được ghi lại, những chuyến khám phá những vùng đất mới của Christopher Columbus và James Cook, v.v. Vì vậy, việc dịch nhiều loại sách do các nhà khoa học không nói tiếng Anh sang tiếng Anh sẽ giúp sách đến được với đại chúng.

Thật khó để tưởng tượng cuộc sống mà không có tiếng Anh. Nếu không có tiếng Anh thì liệu có ngôn ngữ nào khác có vai trò tương tự? Hay bạn ước mình có thể phát minh ra một giải pháp thay thế hiệu quả hơn?

 

1. English helps to record inventions and discoveries. _____

2. English is the only language for the publication of books on world inventions and discoveries. _____

3. All inventions and discoveries were carried out by English researchers. _____

4. All books written by non-English speaking scientists were translated into English. _____

(Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi.)

1. How many reasons does the writer give in favour of the importance of English in the field of science?

(Có bao nhiêu lý do mà người viết đưa ra ủng hộ tầm quan trọng của tiếng Anh trong lĩnh vực khoa học?)

2. Which of the opinions do you agree or disagree with?

(Bạn đồng ý hay không đồng ý với ý kiến nào?)

3. Which conditional sentences does the writer use?

(Người viết sử dụng những câu điều kiện nào?)

 

Do you think that English is the universal form of communication in science?

The need to integrate into the globalised world suggested finding a common language for better communication. Throughout the course of time, English has proved itself to be a key factor in connecting the world effectively. Many people suggest learning English to catch golden opportunities in professional life. Others may be against English thinking it poses challenges for non-English speakers. However, I am definitely in favour of English.

In the first place, English is widely spoken as an official language and as a second language in a large number of countries. Furthermore, in the field of science, English is currently the best way to share one’s research findings with international scientists. English is, most of the time, a dominant language in the field of space exploration and-on the International Space Station. Finally, English plays a crucial role in various industries including business, education, tourism, medicine, etc. If there were no common language, rather simple to learn like English, how would those scientists work together? Who can suggest creating a constructed language, with a simple grammatical structure and regular vocabulary, easy enough to master in the shortest time possible?

In summary, it is my opinion that English is vital, especially in scientific communication and collaboration worldwide.

Bạn có nghĩ rằng tiếng Anh là hình thức giao tiếp phổ biến trong khoa học?

Nhu cầu hội nhập vào thế giới toàn cầu hóa gợi ý việc tìm kiếm một ngôn ngữ chung để giao tiếp tốt hơn. Trong suốt thời gian qua, tiếng Anh đã chứng tỏ là yếu tố then chốt trong việc kết nối thế giới một cách hiệu quả. Nhiều người gợi ý học tiếng Anh để nắm bắt những cơ hội vàng trong cuộc sống nghề nghiệp. Những người khác có thể phản đối tiếng Anh vì cho rằng nó đặt ra thách thức cho những người không nói tiếng Anh. Tuy nhiên, tôi chắc chắn ủng hộ tiếng Anh.

Đầu tiên, tiếng Anh được sử dụng rộng rãi như ngôn ngữ chính thức và ngôn ngữ thứ hai ở nhiều quốc gia. Hơn nữa, trong lĩnh vực khoa học, tiếng Anh hiện là cách tốt nhất để chia sẻ kết quả nghiên cứu của một cá nhân với các nhà khoa học quốc tế. Hầu hết thời gian, tiếng Anh là ngôn ngữ chính trong lĩnh vực thám hiểm không gian và trên Trạm vũ trụ quốc tế. Cuối cùng, tiếng Anh đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong nhiều ngành công nghiệp khác nhau bao gồm kinh doanh, giáo dục, du lịch, y học, v.v. Nếu không có ngôn ngữ chung, khá đơn giản để học như tiếng Anh, các nhà khoa học đó sẽ làm việc cùng nhau như thế nào? Ai có thể đề xuất việc tạo một ngôn ngữ có cấu trúc, với cấu trúc ngữ pháp đơn giản và từ vựng thông thường, đủ dễ để thành thạo trong thời gian ngắn nhất có thể?

Tóm lại, theo quan điểm của tôi, tiếng Anh rất quan trọng, đặc biệt là trong giao tiếp khoa học và hợp tác trên toàn thế giới.

English as a GLOBAL LANGUAGE

People often talk about English as an international language. But why English? In the past, the British Empire spread English through trade because British merchants bought and sold things around the world. Over time, English became a global language. Also, English has simple grammar and its vocabulary is easy to pick up, so it is the main language in international trade, industry, finance and entertainment.

Did you know that today there are over 1.5 billion English speakers and millions of people taking up the languages every day? When we think of English, we usually think of the UK, but did you know that 67 countries have English as one of their official languages? Although the USA has the largest number of English speakers in the world, English isn’t an official language there. In fact, the USA hasn’t got an official language. Despite having two official languages, Canada has the third-largest English-speaking population, while Australia and New Zealand are next. Two other countries which use English as the main language are the Republic of Ireland and South Africa.

Since English is popular all around the world, speaking English is something you have in common with others wherever you go.

Tạm dịch:

Tiếng Anh là NGÔN NGỮ TOÀN CẦU

Mọi người thường nói tiếng Anh như một ngôn ngữ quốc tế. Nhưng tại sao lại là tiếng Anh? Trong quá khứ, Đế quốc Anh đã truyền bá tiếng Anh thông qua thương mại vì các thương nhân người Anh mua bán mọi thứ trên khắp thế giới. Theo thời gian, tiếng Anh đã trở thành ngôn ngữ toàn cầu. Ngoài ra, tiếng Anh có ngữ pháp đơn giản và từ vựng dễ tiếp thu nên đây là ngôn ngữ chính trong thương mại, công nghiệp, tài chính và giải trí quốc tế.

Bạn có biết rằng ngày nay có hơn 1,5 tỷ người nói tiếng Anh và hàng triệu người sử dụng ngôn ngữ này mỗi ngày? Khi nhắc đến tiếng Anh, chúng ta thường nghĩ đến Vương quốc Anh, nhưng bạn có biết rằng 67 quốc gia đều coi tiếng Anh là một trong những ngôn ngữ chính thức không? Mặc dù Hoa Kỳ có số lượng người nói tiếng Anh lớn nhất thế giới nhưng tiếng Anh không phải là ngôn ngữ chính thức ở đó. Trên thực tế, Hoa Kỳ không có ngôn ngữ chính thức. Mặc dù có hai ngôn ngữ chính thức nhưng Canada có dân số nói tiếng Anh lớn thứ ba, tiếp theo là Úc và New Zealand. Hai quốc gia khác sử dụng tiếng Anh làm ngôn ngữ chính là Cộng hòa Ireland và Nam Phi.

Vì tiếng Anh phổ biến trên toàn thế giới nên việc nói tiếng Anh là điểm chung của bạn với những người khác ở bất cứ nơi đâu.
