Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage.

A POWERFUL INFLUENCE

There can be no doubt at all that the Internet has made a huge difference to our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the Internet, hardly (21) __ doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents are curious to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to know if it can be (22) for their children. Should parents be worried if their children are spending that much time watching their computers?

Obviously, if the children are bent over their computers for hours, (23) in some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. Parents and children could decide how much use the child should make of the Internet, and the child should give his or her promise that it won't interfere with homework. If the child is not (24) to this arrangement, parents can take more drastic steps. Dealing with a child's use of the Internet is not much different from negotiating any other sort of bargain about behavior.

Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child's behavior should make an appointment to discuss the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the screen does not (25) affect a child's performance at school. Even if the child is absolutely crazy about using the Internet, he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about!

Household chores

Nam: Hello, Minh.

Minh: Hi, Nam. How are you? I'm going to play football at our school stadium with a few friends this evening. Are you free to join us?

Nam: I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm preparing dinner.

Minh: Really? Doesn't your mum cook?

Nam: Oh, yes. My mum usually does the cooking, but she's working late today.

Minh: How about your sister, Lan? Does she help with the housework?

Nam: Yes. She often helps with the cooking. But she can't help today. She's studying for her exams.

Minh: I see. I never do the cooking. It's my mother's job.

Nam: Really? So how do you divide the household chores in your family?

Minh: Mum is the homemaker, so she does the chores. My dad is the breadwinner, he earns money. And we, the kids, study.

Nam: Well, in my family, we divide the housework equally - Mum usually cooks and shops for groceries: Dad cleans the house and does the heavy lifting.

Minh: What about you and your sister?

Nam: My sister does the laundry. I do the washing-up and put out the rubbish. We also help with the cooking when our mum is busy.

Minh: That sounds fair! Anyway, I have to go now. See you later.

Nam: Bye. Have fun.

Most people think that housework is boring and is the responsibility of wives and mothers only. Many parents don't ask their children to do housework so that they have more time to play or study. However, studies show doing chores is good for children.

Kids who do housework develop important life skills that they will need for the rest of their lives. Doing the laundry, cleaning the house, and taking care of others are among the important skills that children will need when they start their own families. These are the things that schools cannot fully teach, so it's important for children to learn them at home. Sharing housework also helps young people learn to take responsibility. They know that they have to try to finish their tasks even though they do not enjoy doing them. Doing chores also helps develop children's gratitude to their parents. When doing housework, they learn to appreciate all the hard work their parents do around the house for them. In addition, doing chores together helps strengthen family bonds, creating special moments between children and parents. It makes children feel they are members of a team.

All in all, doing housework can bring a lot of benefits to children. It teaches them life skills and helps build their character. Therefore, parents should encourage their kids to share the housework for their own good as well as the good of the whole family.

1. responsibility (trách nhiệm)

a. duty (nghĩa vụ)

b. hobby (sở thích)

2. gratitude (lòng biết ơn)

a. the feeling of being great (cảm giác tuyệt vời)

b. the feeling of being grateful (cảm giác biết ơn)

3. strengthen (tăng cường)

a. make something stronger (làm cho một cái gì đó mạnh mẽ hơn)

b. make something more difficult (làm cho một cái gì đó khó khăn hơn)

4. bonds (sự gắn kết)

Family values

(Giá trị của gia đình)

1. Read the text and list the five family values of British people in the 21st century in the table below.

(Đọc văn bản và liệt kê năm giá trị gia đình của người Anh thế kỷ 21 vào bảng dưới đây.)

BRITISH FAMILY VALUES

Family values are ideas about how people want to live their family life and are passed on from parents to children. Strong family values can prepare children for a happy life. Results of a recent survey in the UK show that even though modern family life has changed greatly, a number of traditional family values are still important in the UK nowadays.

On top of the list are the values of being truthful and honest, and respecting older people. Children are taught to tell the truth from an early age. They learn to show respect to older people, who have a wealth of life experiences. Having good table manners is the third important family value. Coming fourth and fifth on the list are the values of remembering to say please and thank you, and helping with family chores respectively.

It is clear that in the 21^st century, British people still follow some traditional family values.

a. Read the interview Adam Parker gave about his family. Who is the least helpful family member?

(Đọc cuộc phỏng vấn với Adam Parker về gia đình của cậu ấy. Ai là thành viên gia đình ít giúp đỡ người khác nhất?)

Star in Hollywood-Dad in the Suburbs

We sat down for an interview with Adam Parker, son of Hollywood superstar Ranger Parker, to find out what it's like to be the child of a famous parent.

What's your dad like?

He's not a star at home. He's just Dad. He washes the dishes and vacuums the living room. He takes me to school every morning. He's very easygoing, so he has a lot of good friends.

Do you want to be an actor when you grow up?

No, I want to be a doctor like my mom. I think she's very kind. She helps so many kids around the world and gives a lot of money to charities. She got top scores on all her medical exams because she's really intelligent.

What about your sister?

Jessie wants to be an actor because she thinks all actors do is sit around and then act a little bit. But my dad sometimes has to get up at 5 a.m. to work. Jessie's pretty lazy to be honest. She's very unreliable as well. She rarely keeps her promises.

What do you and your dad do for fun?

We help out at a local children's hospital. We know everyone there, and they're all really nice. I always go even when my dad isn't here. The children get upset if I don't go.

They think I'm helpful because I do a lot of things for them.

1. Look at the pictures and read the first paragraph of the text. Who are the people in the pictures?

(Nhìn vào các bức tranh và đọc đoạn đầu tiên của văn bản. Những người trong tranh là ai?)

A day in the life of my family

There are three of us at home: mum, my brother Huy and me, Mai. Huy is seventeen and he's keen on art. I'm fifteen and I love sports. We love our family and friends.

Our mum is a writer. She works at home. On a normal day, mum gets up first, takes the dog out and buys fresh rolls for breakfast. I get up second and make tea. After that, mum wakes my brother up. He gets out of bed and asks, 'Where's my purple shirt?". He finds his clothes (they can be anywhere), gets dressed and falls asleep again. When we go to school, mum stays at home and writes. Huy says she has an easy job: she just lies on the sofa and writes now and then.

After school, I go for a run in the park, but not on Tuesday and Thursday, when I have acrobatics. Huy cooks dinner for all of us. He's the best cook in the family. His food can be Vietnamese, Western or totally experimental. However, recently, he has art classes until 7.00 p.m., then we get pizza from a pizzeria. Nobody wants to wash the dishes. We all say 'Why always me?', but someone always does it in the end. We all look after our dog. When I go to bed, mum sits down and types on her laptop. At the weekends, I usually go to the gym, Huy goes to museums and mum visits her friends, but we also spend time together. We watch films and TV series.

ONE HOME, THREE GENERATIONS

Around the world, many families live with several generations in the same house. This is because young people can't afford to move away from home. Also, the older generation lives longer now, and they want to help their children. These homes are crowded, but the generations help and support each other. So, what's it like to have grandparents, parents and children living together? We asked members of three generations of the same family.

Hi Holly,

Today I have to stay at home and help my family clean the house. I dread doing it, but my mum says it is necessary, I guess I'm fortunate because we only do it twice a month. My mum assigned me the tasks of dusting the furniture, vacuuming the floor, and washing clothes. I don't mind vacuuming the floor; in fact, I kind of like it. But washing clothes is a whole other story. I can't stand it! Also, mum doesn't make it any easier. She constantly complains that I do a terrible job at it.

My sister takes the dog for a walk and does the ironing. I wish I could do that instead of washing the clothes. Oh well, you can't always get what you want.

In 1977 Governor Raul Castro suggested that the seventh of August should be American Family Day. One year later, Governor Bruce Babbitt signed the day into law as an official Arizona holiday. American Family Day is now celebrated across the United States on the first Sunday in August. It encourages people to enjoy the warming summer days with those dearest to them. Principally, the day encourages families to spend time with one another. Unlike some other family holidays, people do not give gifts on this day. Instead, they celebrate the day by focusing on family relationships. People believe that the best gift one can give their families is themselves. So on this day, people enjoy being with their families. The most common activities family members often do together include playing games outdoors or going for a walk in the park, watching a movie, visiting grandparents and bringing them a picnic lunch. Some families enjoy taking an art class together, visiting a museum or trying out a new recipe and getting the whole family involved in the cooking. Whatever people do, the most important thing should be that they do it with their families. Celebrating American Family Day reminds people to express their love to their family and helps strengthen their family bonds.

(Adapted from: https://nationaldaycalendar.com/american-family-day)

1. My Famous Family 2 My Easygoing Mom 3. My Mom’s a Star

Tim Blake, May 5

We caught up with Madison Brown, daughter of singing legend Alice Brown, to find out what it’s like to have a famous mom.

What’s your mom like?

I know she’s really famous, but she’s just Mom to me. She washes the dishes and tidies up around the house. She’s really kind and helpful, so she likes doing things for other people.

Do you want to be a singer when you are older?

Not really. I want to be an architect like my dad because I think he’s really intelligent. He wins a lot of awards for the buildings he designs. He’s really reliable, too. If I need his help, he’s always there for me.

What about your brother?

Johns wants to be a famous pop star. He thinks that all singers do is eat, hang out in expensive hotels, and then go on stage and sing a little. To be honest with you, John’s pretty lazy. He’s also very untidy, so his bedroom is always really messy. Yuck!

What do you and your mom like to do together?

She’s often away, so when she’s home, I’m quite selfish about us spending ‘mom and daughter’ time together. We go shopping and have lunch and just hang out together. I know i can talk to her about anything because she’s really easygoing.
