An eco-friendly fieldtrip to Phong Nha Cave
1. Listen and read.
(Nghe và đọc.)
Ms Hoa: Listen, everyone! This year, we’re going on a fieldtrip to Phong Nha Cave, a tourist attraction in Quang Binh Province.
Class: Hooray!
Nam: I hope I can find some small pieces of stalactites. If I add some to my rock collection, it will be the best at school.
Mai: I’ll buy a lot of snacks to share. We’ll have fun!
Ms Hoa: We will have fun, but in a different way. This time, the fieldtrip is going to be eco-friendly.
Nam: Ms Hoa, what’s an eco-friendly fieldtrip?
Ms Hoa: Going on an eco-friendly fieldtrip means we’ll enjoy, explore and learn about the place, but in a way that will not damage it. So, Nam, I’m afraid you can’t take any stalactites because it takes hundreds or sometimes thousands of years for them to form.
Nam: Wow! I didn’t know that. I won’t even touch them, I promise.
Mai: But can we bring snacks?
Ms Hoa: Yes, but if I were you, I wouldn’t bring too many snacks. We don’t want to leave litter behind and damage the environment.
Mai: I agree. I’ll also try to bring snacks with less packaging.
Ms Hoa: That’s a good idea. Let’s hope our fieldtrip will be a fun educational experience for everyone.

Environmental Impact of Tourism
Although tourism is often called 'the smokeless industry', or an environmentally-friendly industry, it can actually damage nature. However, different kinds of tourism may have different effects on the environment.
• Mass tourism is a kind of tourism which involves tens of thousands of people crowding the same places at the same time of year. It often has a lot of negative impact on the local area, such as litter from tourists and pollution from traffic.
• Ecotourism provides tourists with opportunities to explore nature, and at the same time helps protect the environment and educates travellers on local environmental issues. It also promotes tourists' respect for local communities.
• Sustainable tourism involves not only environmental protection and cultural respect, but also efforts to keep profits local. It often refers to actions of the tourist industry as a whole.
• Responsible tourism encourages tourists to be more than visitors. Responsible tourists should not only be aware of their role, but also take part in protecting the environment, culture and improving the profits for local people. Responsible tourism often relates to specific actions of individuals, businesses, and communities.

1. Read the text. Match the highlighted words with their meanings.
(Đọc văn bản. Nối các từ được làm nổi bật với nghĩa của chúng.)
The more people travel, the bigger impact they may have on the environment. How can we reduce it while travelling? Here are some advice.
Reduce your carbon footprint while travelling. Since flying produces more carbon footprint than any other means of transport, you should only fly when the trip is long. During the trip, you should walk, cycle or use public transport as much as you can. This not only helps to keep the environment clean, but also allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature and interact with local people.
Choose eco-friendly activities that benefit animals and the ecosystem. Avoid activities that allow you to touch or ride animals because they disturb their natural patterns and attract many people. Instead, visit wildlife parks or organic farms. These will help you understand and respect the nature more and stop doing things that harm the environment.

(Đọc email và trả lời các câu hỏi.)
Dear Adrian,
Guess what? I’ve just got back from an eco-holiday in Cát Bà National Park on Cát Bà, the largest island in the Cát Bà Archipelago, Vietnam.
The national park is an amazing place. You can go trekking, rock climbing or kayaking, but the best thing about it is the wildlife. I spent most of my time exploring the forests, so I saw lots of animals. My favourite ones were the doucs, a type of monkey. They were lovely and very friendly, but sadly, they are endangered. Seeing them made me even more careful about protecting their home, so I stayed on the trails and didn’t drop litter.
I had a fantastic time in Cát Bà National Park. You should definitely visit if you get the chance! In the meantime, you can check out my photos on Facebook.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

So, it is cool and full of fresh air.
One thing that you should not miss in Sapa is the Hàm Rồng flower garden. It is full of bright-coloured flowers. From the garden, you can take a 30-minute walk to the top of the mountain.

Fansipan is only 9 km from Sapa town. You can join a trekking tour. It's not an easy trek, but the view from the top of the mountain is worth trying. Trekkers can see beautiful fields of flowers and rainforests. These wilderness areas have not been deforested, so they remain their natural beauty.

I went on a trip to Sapa last November and had a great time. However, during the trip, I fell off a motorbike and broke my arm. Some locals took me to a nearby hospital, where I was surprised to see a young American woman working. She asked: "How did you hurt your arm?"I told her I was admiring the beautiful landscape and rainforest when I fell off my motorbike.
I asked her what she was doing in a hospital in Việt Nam. She was spending a year as a volunteer at a local hospital. She wanted to learn about the village healthcare, so she came to Việt Nam.
After the doctor helped me, the American volunteer asked me where my hotel was. I told her and she arranged someone to take me there.
She told me to stay off motorbikes for a while.
