Hi! I’m Lan and I’m fourteen years old. I live with my granny because my parents are scientists and they often work abroad. They’re in Singapore at the moment. My granny is really sporty. She is a yoga teacher and she swims in the morning. I sometimes go with her, but I don’t like getting up early.

We usually have breakfast together, then I feed my dog. Yes! I’ve got a beautiful dog called Mun. Then I go to school and I have lunch at school. I like egg rolls, sliced pork, and sometimes summer rolls. After school, I often see my friends, Thu and Duy. We like going jogging together in the park.

In the evenings, I do my homework and my granny makes dinner. She’s the best cook in the world!

Phương pháp giải

Tạm dịch:

Xin chào! Tôi là Lan và tôi mười bốn tuổi. Tôi sống với bà ngoại vì bố mẹ tôi là nhà khoa học và họ thường xuyên làm việc ở nước ngoài. Họ đang ở Singapore vào lúc này. Bà tôi thực sự rất thể thao. Cô ấy là một giáo viên yoga và cô ấy bơi vào buổi sáng. Tôi thỉnh thoảng đi với cô ấy, nhưng tôi không thích dậy sớm.

Chúng tôi thường ăn sáng cùng nhau, sau đó tôi cho chó ăn. Đúng! Tôi có một con chó xinh đẹp tên là Mun. Sau đó tôi đi học và tôi ăn trưa ở trường. Tôi thích trứng cuộn, thịt lợn thái lát, và đôi khi là chả giò mùa hè. Sau giờ học, tôi thường gặp các bạn của tôi, Thu và Duy. Chúng tôi thích đi chạy bộ cùng nhau trong công viên.

Vào buổi tối, tôi làm bài tập về nhà và bà tôi nấu bữa tối. Cô ấy là đầu bếp giỏi nhất thế giới!

Reading

1. Work in groups. Look at the picture, and discuss what you know about Alaska (its location, climate, native people, culture, ...).

(Làm việc nhóm. Nhìn vào bức tranh và thảo luận về những gì bạn biết về Alaska (vị trí, khí hậu, người bản địa, văn hóa, ....)

Read the text and check your answers.

(Đọc bài khóa và kiểm tra đáp án.)

If you go to the American state of Alaska, you might find the traditional lifestyle there interesting. Although Alaska is quite large, with nearly 1.7 million square kilometres, it has a small population of about 730,000.

The native peoples in Alaska still maintain many of their traditions. They keep their old ways of making arts and crafts alive. Various native groups have their own special styles of carving or weaving as well as their unique tribal dances and drumming. Therefore, visitors to Alaska may experience some of their culture in their villages. They may see performances of traditional music and native art in galleries and museums.

Alaska is also known for its unusual method of transport - the dogsled. Today, dog sledding (= mushing) is more of a sport than a true means of transport. The best-known race is the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a 1,510 km race from Anchorage to Nome. Mushers from all over the world come to Anchorage each March to compete for cash and prizes.

Different Lifestyles Around The World

My family moved to Sweden because of my dad's job. I went to school there for a year. Well, I didn't like it. The class was so noisy. Students would ask questions all the time. They spoke while the teacher was speaking and shouted at each other. They even sat under their desks. They sometimes called teachers by their first name. I thought it was rude! It's quite different from studying in my country.

Lan Tran, Viet Nam

I went to a foreign country and stayed with my friend's family. When I arrived, they showed me a dog and asked: "Do you like this dog?" I said: "Yeah, yeah." When it was time for dinner, I went to the kitchen and saw a plate of steaming meat. I asked: "What is this?" and they all said: "Dog meat". Oh God! They cooked the dog! I said I liked the dog, and they cooked it. I started crying, and broke down at the table.
