Lời giải của GV Loigiaihay.com

1. Where can people recycle their paper, bottles and cans? (Mọi người có thể tái chế giấy, chai lọ và lon ở đâu?)

It is also very important to have a recycling centre in the town where people can recycle their paper, bottles and cans. (Điều cũng rất quan trọng là phải có một trung tâm tái chế trong thị trấn, nơi mọi người có thể tái chế giấy, chai và lon của mình.)

2. Why do eco-friendly means of transport help the environment? (Tại sao phương tiện giao thông thân thiện với môi trường lại giúp ích cho môi trường?)

Secondly, it is important to use eco-friendly means of transport, which creates less noise and air pollution. (Thứ hai, điều quan trọng là sử dụng các phương tiện giao thông thân thiện với môi trường, ít tạo ra tiếng ồn và ô nhiễm không khí.)

3. What are some types of eco-friendly means of transport? (Có những loại phương tiện giao thông thân thiện với môi trường nào?)

We should walk, cycle and use public transport as much as possible instead of driving cars and riding motorbikes. (Chúng ta nên đi bộ, đạp xe và sử dụng phương tiện giao thông công cộng nhiều nhất có thể thay vì lái ô tô và đi xe máy. )

4. What do community gardens provide? (Vườn cộng đồng mang lại những gì?)

Community gardens also provide fresh food, which helps the town residents be healthier. (Vườn cộng đồng còn cung cấp thực phẩm tươi sống, giúp người dân thị trấn khỏe mạnh hơn.)

I really love where I live now.

(Tôi thực sự yêu nơi tôi đang sống hiện tại.)

1. Listen and read.

(Nghe và đọc.)


Ann: Hi, Mi. Long time no see. How're you doing?

Mi: I'm fine, thanks. By the way, we moved to a new house in a suburb last month.

Ann: Oh, that's why I haven't seen you in the Reading Club very often.

Mi: Yes. We're still busy moving in, you know.

Ann: How's your new neighbourhood?

Mi: It's much bigger than our old one. The streets are wider, and there are fewer people.

Ann: What about the facilities?

Mi: It has all the things we need: shopping malls, parks, and hospitals. And there's a craft village near our house.

Ann: Great! How're your new neighbours?

Mi: They're nice. Last Sunday when I was looking for the way to the bus station, a lady came and showed me the way. I think we will get on with them.

Ann: That reminds me of the time our family moved to Viet Nam. We didn't know where to buy stuff for our house, and the new neighbours in the community gave us useful advice. I guess you like your new place.

Mi: Sure. I really love where I live now.

Bài 11 :

Clean and Tidy Town

We should do our best to keep our town clean and tidy. In this way, we not only make our town a healthy place but also protect the environment. We can help in many ways to make our town a better place to live.

Firstly, we must never drop litter on the ground and we should recycle as much as possible. We should put recycling bin throughout the town and teach children to use them. It is also very important to have a recycling centre in the town where people can recycle their paper, bottles and cans. Secondly, it is important to use eco-friendly means of transport, which creates less noise and air pollution. We should walk, cycle and use public transport as much as possible instead of driving cars and riding motorbikes. Thirdly, it is nice to plant trees and start community gardens. If we do that, the town will look more beautiful and the air will be cleaner. Community gardens also provide fresh food, which helps the town residents be healthier.

These changes may seem small, but keep in mind that a lot of small actions add up to make a big difference. If everyone in a community works together, we can change things for the better.

Tạm dịch:

Thị trấn sạch sẽ và ngăn nắp

Chúng ta nên cố gắng hết sức để giữ cho thị trấn của chúng ta sạch sẽ và ngăn nắp. Bằng cách này, chúng tôi không chỉ biến thị trấn của mình thành một nơi trong lành mà còn bảo vệ môi trường. Chúng tôi có thể giúp đỡ bằng nhiều cách để biến thị trấn của chúng tôi thành một nơi tốt hơn để sinh sống.

Đầu tiên, chúng ta không bao giờ được vứt rác xuống đất và nên tái chế càng nhiều càng tốt. Chúng ta nên đặt thùng rác tái chế khắp thị trấn và dạy trẻ em sử dụng chúng. Điều cũng rất quan trọng là phải có một trung tâm tái chế trong thị trấn, nơi mọi người có thể tái chế giấy, chai và lon của mình. Thứ hai, điều quan trọng là sử dụng các phương tiện giao thông thân thiện với môi trường, ít tạo ra tiếng ồn và ô nhiễm không khí. Chúng ta nên đi bộ, đạp xe và sử dụng phương tiện giao thông công cộng nhiều nhất có thể thay vì lái ô tô và đi xe máy. Thứ ba, thật tốt khi trồng cây và bắt đầu làm vườn cộng đồng. Nếu chúng ta làm điều đó, thị trấn sẽ đẹp hơn và không khí sẽ trong lành hơn. Vườn cộng đồng còn cung cấp thực phẩm tươi sống, giúp người dân thị trấn khỏe mạnh hơn.

Những thay đổi này có vẻ nhỏ nhưng hãy nhớ rằng rất nhiều hành động nhỏ cộng lại sẽ tạo nên sự khác biệt lớn. Nếu mọi người trong cộng đồng làm việc cùng nhau, chúng ta có thể thay đổi mọi thứ tốt hơn.

3. Read a passage about Sardinia and do the exercises that follow.

(Đọc một đoạn văn về Sardinia và làm bài tập bên dưới.)

Sardinia is the second largest island in Italy. It is famous for its beautiful nature and a variety of ancient crafts. One of the crafts that makes the island well-known is basket weaving. This is considered one of the most remarkable handicrafts on the island because it combines manual skills and natural resources.

Baskets are usually woven by Sardinian women. They have handed down the techniques from generation to generation. The shapes and dimensions of the baskets are different according to the technique, the area of production, and the kind of material used. They use various natural materials such as willow, palm, straw, and hay.

In the past, people hung the baskets on the walls of their houses or displayed them on shelves like artwork. Today the baskets are used in homes or used for decorative purposes. People really appreciate the craft because nowadays it is increasingly rare to find good quality baskets like these. Sardinian people believe that basket weaving is a dying skill and they hope to preserve it in the future.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:

Sardinia là hòn đảo lớn thứ hai ở Ý. Nó nổi tiếng với thiên nhiên tươi đẹp và nhiều nghề thủ công cổ xưa. Một trong những nghề thủ công khiến hòn đảo nổi tiếng là đan giỏ. Đây được coi là một trong những nghề thủ công đáng chú ý nhất trên đảo vì nó kết hợp giữa kỹ năng thủ công và tài nguyên thiên nhiên.

Những chiếc giỏ thường được đan bởi phụ nữ Sardinia. Họ đã truyền lại các kỹ thuật từ thế hệ này sang thế hệ khác. Hình dạng và kích thước của giỏ khác nhau tùy theo kỹ thuật, khu vực sản xuất và loại chất liệu được sử dụng. Họ sử dụng nhiều chất liệu tự nhiên khác nhau như liễu, cọ, rơm và cỏ khô.

Trước đây, người ta treo những chiếc giỏ lên tường nhà hoặc trưng bày trên kệ như những tác phẩm nghệ thuật. Ngày nay những chiếc giỏ được sử dụng trong nhà hoặc dùng cho mục đích trang trí. Mọi người đánh giá cao nghề thủ công vì ngày nay việc tìm được những chiếc giỏ chất lượng tốt như thế này ngày càng hiếm. Người Sardinia tin rằng đan giỏ là một kỹ năng sắp mai một và họ hy vọng sẽ bảo tồn nó trong tương lai.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Like Azerbaijan, India and Morocco, Turkey is famous for making carpets. Etrim, a small village near Bodrum has a rich tradition of carpet weaving. This craft has been passed down through generations and is an important part of the village's culture.

The process begins with the preparation of the wool. The villagers shear the sheep every April. After that they clean, spin the wool into yarn, and dye using natural ingredients like flowers, roots, and spices. The weaving takes place on a traditional loom. The weavers tie knots in the threads to create intricate patterns. Interestingly, they do not use a fixed pattern. Instead, they rely on their memory, making each carpet unique. The carpets are then trimmed and cleaned, ready to be sold. Each carpet takes about two months to complete. Despite the time and effort involved, the weavers have maintained the weaving traditions, and they take great pride in their work.

Etrim village is more than just a hub for exquisite carpet making, it is a place where the age-old traditions of Turkey are kept alive. Visiting Etrim offers a unique opportunity to witness this traditional craft and appreciate the skill and hard work of the artisans.

Speaking with Strangers: A Beginner’s Guide

Why start a conversation?
We are social creatures. Research shows that even short conversations with people around us can make us feel happier and more connected. Talking to someone you don’t know well may seem scary at first, but it can lead to new friendships and improve your confidence.

When chatting with a stranger, try to keep good eye contact and think of a few simple topics before you start talking. You don’t need to be funny or clever—just be kind and interested. A good conversation is not about being perfect; it’s about connecting with others.

Three tips to get started:
• Ask questions – Don’t worry if your questions are simple. Easy questions like “How was your day?” can still lead to a nice chat.
• Don’t skip small talk – Talking about the weather or your surroundings can help you find things in common. Just avoid topics that might cause disagreement, such as politics or personal beliefs.
• Know when and how to exit – Be mindful of your conversation partner’s body language and responses – if you’re doing all the work to maintain the chit chat, it might be a sign they’re not interested.

Next up:
Conversation is a skill. Like any, it takes practice. Try saying hello or making a small comment when you’re in line at a coffee shop or supermarket. These little moments are great chances to improve your social confidence.

Read the following passage and choose A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answers.

Tan Cuong tea is a renowned specialty from Thai Nguyen, situated 75 kilometers north of Ha Noi. Among the tea-growing places in this province, Tan Cuong Commune stands out as the prime area for tea leaves and related products.

Tan Cuong Tea is one of the most exceptional tea products from this region. What makes it unique is the method of nurturing tea trees with organic fertilizer, ensuring they are free from harmful pesticide or chemical residues. The tea leaves are harvested using traditional methods. Carefully picked green tea buds from the trees are stored to maintain their quality before they are sent to the factory for processing.

In recent years, Thai Nguyen Province has implemented various strategies to support businesses, cooperatives, and farmers involved in tea cultivation. Their goal is to preserve and expand the Tan Cuong specialty tea area, which has brought prosperity to many families through substantial annual earnings from tea sales and manufacturing.

Moreover, many families in Tan Cuong who own tea farms have established facilities for tourists. Visitors can enjoy tea, observe tea harvesting and processing, and even arrange for an overnight homestay at a local house, all while taking in the stunning views of the tea-covered hills.

Our local community plays a crucial role in shaping a vibrant and supportive environment for all residents. One of the most effective ways to strengthen community bonds is through active participation in local events and initiatives. For instance, neighborhood clean-up drives not only enhance the beauty of our surroundings but also foster a sense of pride and collaboration among residents. Additionally, community gardens offer a space where people can grow fresh produce, share gardening tips, and enjoy the benefits of working together.

In any towns and cities, local communities play an important role in everyday life. Local community groups often organize events and activities that bring people together. For example, they might hold festivals, farmers' markets, or clean-up days. These events help to build relationships among residents and create a sense of belonging. Community centers are common places where people can join different classes and activities, such as sports, art, and language lessons. Many local communities also have volunteer groups that help those in need, such as food banks or shelters for the homeless. By participating in these activities, people can contribute to their community and make a positive impact.

Local businesses also benefit from a strong community. When residents support local shops and restaurants, they help boost the local economy. A close-knit community often has better communication and cooperation, which can lead to improvements in local services and facilities.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question.

Bau Truc pottery items are made from clay from the Quao River mixed with sand. Clay is collected from the river only once a year, each lasting for half a month. Clay is taken more or less depending on the ability of each person. In the clay collecting season, local people try to take as much clay as they can to store, for use in the entire year.

Currently, people in Bau Truc pottery village still make pottery items in the traditional way. They do not use the wheel, but the craftsmen have to turn around the products. The potters shape their products by skillful hands and feet around a pole-round pillar, rather than on the wheel. From this step, silky clay block initially gradually forms a smooth rounded hollow block, then the formation of flower vases, or water pots. Bau Truc's craftsmen use wet cloths to make the product surface smooth. These items are decorated with seashells, snails or hand-made paintings featuring the daily life of Bau Truc's people.
