Lời giải của GV Loigiaihay.com

• Three direct questions (Ba câu hỏi trực tiếp)

However, is it not the case that if you are gifted, you also have distinct educational requirements and just as much right to individual attention in the classroom?

(Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn có năng khiếu, bạn cũng có các yêu cầu giáo dục riêng biệt và cũng có quyền được chú ý riêng trong lớp học?)

Don’t consistently good grades at school amount to proof of the satisfactory academic progress of those who achieve them?

(Điểm cao liên tục ở trường không phải là bằng chứng cho thấy sự tiến bộ trong học tập của những người đạt được điểm cao sao?)

Add to this the claim that labelling certain children as 'gifted' sends an unproductive message to those who don’t measure up, and there is really nothing left to debate, is there?

(Thêm vào đó là tuyên bố rằng việc dán nhãn một số trẻ em là 'có năng khiếu' sẽ gửi một thông điệp không hiệu quả đến những người không đạt yêu cầu, và thực sự không còn gì để tranh luận nữa, phải không?)

• A direct address to the reader (Một lời ngỏ trực tiếp)

However, is it not the case that if you are gifted, you also have distinct educational requirements and just as much right to individual attention in the classroom?

(Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn có năng khiếu, bạn cũng có các yêu cầu giáo dục riêng biệt và cũng có quyền được chú ý riêng trong lớp học?)

• A quotation (Một câu trích dẫn)

According to US researchers, by not stretching the brightest of their students 'teachers could be squandering the talent of the most creative minds of a generation'.

(Theo các nhà nghiên cứu Hoa Kỳ, bằng cách không thúc đẩy những học sinh thông minh nhất của mình, "giáo viên có thể đang lãng phí tài năng của những bộ óc sáng tạo nhất của một thế hệ".)

• An exclamation (Một câu cảm thán)

Gifted children need attention too! (Trẻ em có năng khiếu cũng cần được chú ý!)

Bài 1 :

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

Successful students often do the following while studying. First, they have an overview before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or "fix up" mistakes in comprehension.

Conversely students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They tend to assume a passive role in learning and rely on others (eg, teachers, parents) to monitor their studying, for example, low achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content they may not be aware of the purpose of studying, and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing "fix-up strategies to fix understanding problems.

Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning, and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

Bài 2 :

Read the passage and answer the questions.

During my last couple of years as a student here at Union High, I have noticed that there is nothing to do during our occasional free periods. Hanging around in the hallways or in the library with friends isn't productive or relaxing. The student body council noticed this as well and brought it to the attention of Mr. Swanson and the rest of the faculty. A meeting to discuss the issue occurred last Friday, February 10th, in the all - school meeting room.

The faculty not only agreed that there wasn't much to do during these free periods, but also seemed determined to find a solution. The student body council and the faculty talked about different ideas for a long time. The faculty had noticed that some students don't like using their free periods for studying. Instead, they spend their time disrupting the students who want to study by being noisy in the library. By the end of the meeting, the faculty had decided to put a pool table and a ping pong table in our student lobby at the start of next semester.

I know some people will be concerned about getting their work done with these potential distractions, but I believe this will help us all in enjoying our time at school. I agree that it's important to complete our work but it is just as important to enjoy ourselves and to relax with our friends. School is already such a stressful place. It makes many students feel worried and anxious. We want our school to be a friendly place so that students want to come every day. Students should remember that this change will make the library a lot quieter. Because of this, the students who want to study will be able to do so in peace.

To all the students at Union High, I sincerely hope that you enjoy the new additions to our lobby. Hopefully, they will make our free periods a lot more relaxing. If you happen to have one of the same free periods as I do, then please challenge me to a game of pool!

Bài 3 :

Read the following passage and choose among A, B, C or D the correct answer to each of the questions.

In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a counselor and professor 25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in college.

It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life's obstacle. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children's lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.

How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression? The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don't want to "feel" anything unpleasant and we certainly don't want our children to "suffer".

The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact that some individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question the growing number of medicated adolescents today.

Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don't believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years. What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young "adults" with all the responsibilities of life.

What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic parenting of these students - the student who complains that the professor didn't remind her of the due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.

As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college student before we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood.

1. Listen and read.

(Nghe và đọc.)


Mark: Hello, Grandma!

Grandma: Oh hi, Mark. I'm glad you're here! Can you help me increase the font size of  this text on my laptop? It's too small for me to read.

Mark: Let me show you ... You need to press these two keys together ... See? It's easy, isn't it?

Grandma: It works! Everything's so easy to read now. Thanks, dear. I still have trouble using the laptop. You know, it's taken me so much time to learn computer skills.

Mark: That's fine, Grandma. My teacher says it's never too late to learn something new, especially new technology, because it's rapidly developing. Grandma, you've typed a lot of text! What are you working on?

Grandma: Well, I'm writing a summary of a book I've read recently. You see, my doctor advised me to read every day to boost my memory. And I want to brush up on my French before I visit my friend in Paris.

Mark: You're amazing, Grandma! Learning languages can improve your thinking skills. Our language teacher has also asked us to try to maintain our language skills after leaving school. Do you know that you can use the Internet to learn a language or watch the news?

Grandma: Really? This could help me stay informed about current events. Can you show me some news sites after I finish my book summary?

Mark: No problem, Grandma. But why do you have to type it?

Grandma: It's for the reading club I've just joined. The club leader encourages us to prepare our book reports and share them with all members in advance.

Mark: Are all club members your age?

Grandma: No, there're some young people as well. Are you interested in joining the next meeting?

Mark: Yes, I'd love to.

Grandma: OK, I'll put your name on the list of attendees then.

2. Read a letter written by a head teacher to her students on the school website. Circle the phrases with the closest meaning to the highlighted words.

(Đọc thư của hiệu trưởng gửi học sinh trên website của trường. Khoanh tròn các cụm từ có nghĩa gần nhất với những từ được đánh dấu.)

Dear students,

In a few weeks' time, you'll complete your secondary education. Some of you may have already made plans for continuing your studies at university or vocational school, while others may wish to start working right away. Whatever choice you make, remember to keep on learning new knowledge and skills.

'Haven't we learnt enough in secondary school?', many may wonder. In fact, learning does not stop after graduation. It is a lifelong process. It involves creating and maintaining a positive attitude to learning for both professional and personal development. Lifelong learning is especially relevant in today's changing world. It allows you to adapt to changes in the modern workplace and widens your employment opportunities. It helps you make better, informed decisions and become a more well-rounded individual. In addition, it keeps your brain healthy and boosts your memory. Lifelong learning also helps you stay connected with modern ideas and meet new people as you participate in various forms of adult education.

'Does that mean I have to go to classes again?". The answer is 'yes' and 'no'. Yes, because when you start working, you may decide to go to night school or enrol on a distance learning course to learn a skill or get a degree. The answer is also No, because lifelong learning happens all the time. As long as you are motivated, you can learn new knowledge and develop new skills anywhere. Uncle Ho is a great role model for lifelong learning. He never stopped learning throughout his life despite all the hardships and challenges. He learnt to speak different languages, including English, French, Russian, Italian, German, and Chinese mainly by himself. He even wrote poems in Chinese when he was imprisoned in China to keep his mind sharp. He took regular physical exercise, did traditional martial arts, and enjoyed activities such as swimming and mountain climbing throughout his life. We can all learn from Uncle Ho's lifelong efforts to improve himself.

Remember that learning is a lifelong journey. Enjoy every moment of it.

Mrs Le Minh Ngoc

1. Read the text and complete the diagram with information from the text.

(Đọc văn bản và hoàn thành sơ đồ với thông tin từ văn bản.)

One of the oldest university graduates

Bertie Gladwin became one of Britain's oldest graduates after receiving his Master's degree in intelligence history from the University of Buckingham at 91. He started his degree at the age of 89 together with his wife, who was then aged 77. 'I feel very satisfied to think that I've done an MA at my age,' he said at the time. 'When you're 90, you sit around and not a lot happens, so it's important to carry on learning and to broaden your horizons.'

Gladwin left school at the age of 14 and never finished his secondary education or went to university. But he still found a satisfying job. When Gladwin retired, he became less active and thought getting back into learning would delay the negative symptoms of old age. He wanted to keep his brain active and learn more about something that had always interested him. Then at the age of 60, he earned a BA in Psychology. By the time he was 70, he had also completed a BSc in Molecular Biology. 'They're fascinating subjects,' he said. "I did them just because I was interested in them and wanted to know more about them.'

Bài 11 :

a. Read the article about lifelong learning and choose the best title for the article.

(Đọc bài viết về học tập suốt đời và chọn tiêu đề phù hợp nhất cho bài viết.)

1. What's lifelong learning, and how do you benefit from it?

(Học tập suốt đời là gì và bạn được lợi ích gì từ việc học tập đó?)

2. What's lifelong learning, and how to encourage it?

(Học tập suốt đời là gì và làm thế nào để khuyến khích nó?)

"Lifelong learning" means continuing to acquire new knowledge and skills throughout your life. It is voluntary, but often requires lots of self-discipline and motivation to continue. It can occur in many ways, for example, by joining a local course, taking virtual lessons online, or reading books. These days, it has become easier than ever to learn new skills and improve your professional, personal, and social life thanks to new technology.

First of all, lifelong learning can offer benefits for your professional development. For example, if you are working for a company that does business internationally, learning a new language might help you get a better salary, or open up opportunities to work in a different country. Learning new things, especially high-tech skills like computer programming or data analysis, will also help you be more competitive in the job market because having a wide range of abilities will make you more attractive to employers.

Another benefit is personal development, like taking a yoga class or learning how to cook a new dish you like. Lifelong learning can help you find new passions and hobbies. For example, you could take a course in digital design in your free time and then discover that you really love making fun and beautiful images!

Lifelong learning also helps your social life. If you join a class, you will likely meet people who share the same interests. As you learn and gain skills, and make new friends, you will likely become more confident in yourself, which can lead to greater satisfaction and happiness.

Over all, lifelong learning is an important part of personal and professional development. It is an enjoyable process that can bring many opportunities to help you improve your work life, meet new friends, and achieve personal satisfaction.

“Học tập suốt đời” có nghĩa là tiếp tục thu thập kiến thức và kỹ năng mới trong suốt cuộc đời. Đó là tự nguyện, nhưng thường đòi hỏi rất nhiều kỷ luật tự giác và động lực để tiếp tục. Nó có thể xảy ra theo nhiều cách, chẳng hạn như tham gia một khóa học địa phương, tham gia các bài học ảo trực tuyến hoặc đọc sách. Ngày nay, việc học các kỹ năng mới và cải thiện đời sống nghề nghiệp, cá nhân và xã hội của bạn trở nên dễ dàng hơn bao giờ hết nhờ công nghệ mới.

Trước hết, học tập suốt đời có thể mang lại lợi ích cho sự phát triển nghề nghiệp của bạn. Ví dụ: nếu bạn đang làm việc cho một công ty kinh doanh quốc tế, việc học một ngôn ngữ mới có thể giúp bạn có được mức lương cao hơn hoặc mở ra cơ hội làm việc ở một quốc gia khác. Học những điều mới, đặc biệt là các kỹ năng công nghệ cao như lập trình máy tính hoặc phân tích dữ liệu, cũng sẽ giúp bạn cạnh tranh hơn trên thị trường việc làm vì có nhiều khả năng sẽ khiến bạn trở nên hấp dẫn hơn trong mắt nhà tuyển dụng.

Một lợi ích khác là sự phát triển cá nhân, như tham gia lớp yoga hoặc học cách nấu một món ăn mới mà bạn thích. Học tập suốt đời có thể giúp bạn tìm thấy niềm đam mê và sở thích mới. Ví dụ: bạn có thể tham gia một khóa học về thiết kế kỹ thuật số trong thời gian rảnh và sau đó phát hiện ra rằng bạn thực sự thích tạo ra những hình ảnh đẹp và vui nhộn!

Học tập suốt đời cũng giúp ích cho đời sống xã hội của bạn. Nếu bạn tham gia một lớp học, bạn có thể sẽ gặp những người có cùng sở thích. Khi bạn học hỏi và đạt được các kỹ năng cũng như kết bạn mới, bạn có thể sẽ trở nên tự tin hơn vào bản thân, điều này có thể dẫn đến sự hài lòng và hạnh phúc hơn.

Trên hết, học tập suốt đời là một phần quan trọng của sự phát triển cá nhân và nghề nghiệp. Đó là một quá trình thú vị có thể mang lại nhiều cơ hội giúp bạn cải thiện cuộc sống công việc, gặp gỡ bạn bè mới và đạt được sự hài lòng cá nhân.

(Học tập suốt đời: Những thách thức và cách vượt qua)

2. Lifelong Learning: Challenges and Opportunities

(Học tập suốt đời: Thách thức và Cơ hội)

 

Do you find learning after graduation difficult? If the answer is yes, you're not alone. Below are some of the most common difficulties people might have when trying to pursue lifelong learning.

Lifelong learning can be time-consuming. Besides the time for classes, you'll have to complete assignments and take tests. Also, you may lose out on time for family and friends. While it isn't easy to deal with this problem, one possible solution is to find online classes that allow you to learn at your own pace.

Another challenge is the cost of learning. Taking courses and buying materials can be pretty expensive. However, there are great free online resources that you can use as a start. You can also consider asking for financial help from your employer if you're looking to take more expensive courses for your job.

You might also lose your motivation. Learning can sometimes be difficult or boring. However, if you choose courses that you're truly interested in or that can lead to a job promotion, you may find it easier to pursue learning. You could also find support from a study partner. Having someone to share your progress with can make learning more fun.

In addition, you might not have access to learning resources. Thankfully, there are websites that have courses in lots of different topics. If you still can't find what you want, many experts now offer their own online courses. You can find out about these by following people on social media.

To sum up, lifelong learning may be challenging, but there are ways to make it easier. Choose a suitable course and use any support you can find. And remember, it's never too late to learn and grow.

Bạn thấy việc học sau khi tốt nghiệp có khó khăn không? Nếu câu trả lời là có, bạn không đơn độc. Dưới đây là một số khó khăn phổ biến nhất mà mọi người có thể gặp phải khi cố gắng theo đuổi việc học tập suốt đời.

Học tập suốt đời có thể tốn thời gian. Ngoài thời gian học trên lớp, bạn sẽ phải hoàn thành bài tập và làm bài kiểm tra. Ngoài ra, bạn có thể mất thời gian dành cho gia đình và bạn bè. Mặc dù không dễ để giải quyết vấn đề này nhưng một giải pháp khả thi là tìm các lớp học trực tuyến cho phép bạn học theo tốc độ của riêng mình.

Một thách thức khác là chi phí học tập. Tham gia các khóa học và mua tài liệu có thể khá tốn kém. Tuy nhiên, có những tài nguyên trực tuyến miễn phí tuyệt vời mà bạn có thể sử dụng khi bắt đầu. Bạn cũng có thể cân nhắc việc yêu cầu trợ giúp tài chính từ người sử dụng lao động nếu bạn đang muốn tham gia các khóa học đắt tiền hơn cho công việc của mình.

Bạn cũng có thể mất động lực. Việc học đôi khi có thể khó khăn hoặc nhàm chán. Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn chọn những khóa học mà bạn thực sự quan tâm hoặc có thể giúp bạn thăng tiến trong công việc, bạn có thể thấy việc theo đuổi việc học sẽ dễ dàng hơn. Bạn cũng có thể tìm được sự hỗ trợ từ một đối tác nghiên cứu. Có ai đó để chia sẻ sự tiến bộ của bạn có thể khiến việc học trở nên thú vị hơn.

Ngoài ra, bạn có thể không có quyền truy cập vào tài nguyên học tập. Rất may, có những trang web có các khóa học về nhiều chủ đề khác nhau. Nếu bạn vẫn không thể tìm thấy những gì mình muốn, nhiều chuyên gia hiện cung cấp các khóa học trực tuyến của riêng họ. Bạn có thể tìm hiểu về những điều này bằng cách theo dõi mọi người trên mạng xã hội.

Tóm lại, việc học tập suốt đời có thể là một thách thức nhưng có nhiều cách để khiến việc học tập này trở nên dễ dàng hơn. Chọn một khóa học phù hợp và sử dụng bất kỳ sự hỗ trợ nào bạn có thể tìm thấy. Và hãy nhớ rằng, không bao giờ là quá muộn để học hỏi và phát triển.

THE POWER OF LIFELONG LEARNING

Lifelong learning is the ongoing process of acquiring new knowledge and skills throughout a person's life. Lifelong learners carry on their learning and personal development long after they have completed their formal education. In today's world, lifelong learning is more important than ever.

The importance of lifelong learning in the modern world is enormous. Today's job market is dynamic and fast-paced, so skills become outdated quickly. To compete for the best career opportunities, individuals must continuously develop themselves. It is considered that lifelong learning enhances the development of important skills and can help individuals to improve hard skills like language and soft skills, such as empathy. This makes them significantly adaptable to the needs of modem workplaces.

In addition, lifelong learning has significant benefits outside of the workplace. It can enable individuals to achieve personal fulfilment and satisfaction by allowing them to pursue their passions. It can also improve brain function and broaden their horizons by making them more open-minded. By continually learning and growing, they can develop their critical thinking skills and gain new insights into the world.

Thanks to the Internet and digital media, engaging in lifelong learning has never been easier with online courses, webinars, and workshops available on all kinds of topics. Many of the world's best educational institutions, such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, also offer a variety of online courses, providing access to high-quality education to people around the world. Online resources allow learners to acquire knowledge at their own pace, at a time and at a place that suits them.

In an ever-changing modern world, continuous personal development has become a crucial part of life. For lifelong learners, learning is not only a process but also a lifestyle choice. By committing to this approach, we can stay relevant in the workforce, follow our passions, and improve the overall quality of our lives.

1. Lifelong learners continue learning after their _____ has ended.

2. Continuous development is essential for people who want the _____.

Should students do internships?

A. Aren't internships worth the effort? This is a common question among students who want to take the first step on their preferred career path. In my opinion, students should do internships because of sufficient advantages that they offer.

B. To begin with, internships help individuals to gain valuable practical experience and develop skills like problem-solving, teamwork, time management and organisational skills. In this way, they can give students a competitive advantage in the real world of experiences and provide important insights into what modem workplaces will be required of them.

C. Additionally, internships offer excellent networking opportunities. This means interns can start to develop a reputation and make industry contacts that could later lead to lucrative job offers. For example, when companies hire students as interns, they give them the chance to build relationships with people in different positions at the workplace. This will later increase their chances of landing positions with several different companies.

D. In conclusion, I believe doing internships is a great way for students to gain practical experience and the chance to make valuable connections. In the end, careers are not all about money. They are also about fulfilment, self-development and lifelong learning, and internships have something to offer in all of these aspects.

STUDENT FOR LIFE

Helen Keller and Albert Einstein are two of history's most extraordinary individuals. Both overcame obstacles to achieve greatness and made significant contributions to society. What's more, both were lifelong learners.

At the age of 19 months, Helen Keller lost her vision and hearing due to an illness, which made her learning extremely difficult. Luckily, at seven years old, she was introduced to Anne Sullivan, who became her lifelong teacher. With Sullivan's assistance, Keller learned to read and write using Braille. In 1904, she graduated from Radcliffe College with a BA in philosophy, with which she became the first blind and deaf person ever to obtain a college degree.

Unlike Helen Keller, Albert Einstein seriously struggled with his academic performance in his early life. After years of difficulty at school, however, he finally found his passion in science and mathematics. At 26 years old, he received a doctorate in physics from the University of Zurich. Then, Einstein started doing some of the most groundbreaking work in the history of the field, including his theory of relativity, which changed the field of physics forever and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

Despite their incredible achievements, both Helen Keller and Albert Einstein remained lifelong learners. Keller continued reading and writing all her life and she published 12 fantastic books, including her inspirational autobiography, The Story of My Life. As for Einstein, after receiving his Nobel Prize, he continued researching new ideas and stayed active in the scientific community until he passed away in 1955.

The lives of Keller and Einstein are proof of the importance and value of lifelong learning. Through their hard work and dedication, they showed that anyone can achieve greatness if they have a strong desire to learn.

2. On average a person has 70,000 thoughts each day.

HIDDEN TALENTS

Despite some recent advances, there is still a great deal about the human brain that remains a mystery. We know it is made up of about 100 billion nerve cells, called neurons, connected like wires in a giant telephone exchange. We know messages pass down them like electrical signals and jump from one neuron to the next when chemicals known as neurotransmitters are released. (1) ______________ But what we don't fully understand are things like consciousness, intelligence and creativity.

Much of our knowledge comes from studying brain functions when things go wrong. There are some fascinating cases of where a bang on the head has brought about changes in personality or caused a person to become talented in a way they weren't at all before the injury.

A famous case was Jason Padgett, a furniture salesman from Washington, who was mugged by two men after leaving a karaoke bar. He survived the attack, but was left unconscious. (2) _________ Padgett began to see patterns in everything he looked at, and to draw complex geometric figures. He seemed to understand the mathematical nature of the universe despite the fact that he had little formal academic training. The man who had barely scraped through his school exams ended up pursuing a career in mathematics as a number theorist.

Another example of this syndrome is twenty-four-year-old Ben McMahon from Australia, who fell into a coma after a car crash. A week later, he woke up speaking Mandarin Chinese. He had studied Chinese at school, but had never been fluent until the accident. McMahon works now as a Chinese-speaking tour guide in Australia.

Orlando Serrell suffered a head injury when he was knocked out in a baseball game at the age of ten. When he regained consciousness, he felt OK and finished the game. (3) _____ He has never made a mistake. For instance, ask him about 11 February 1983 and he says 'Friday. It was raining that day. I had a pizza - pepperoni sausage.'

There is no single theory to explain each case, but many researchers believe that acquired savant syndrome happens when the right side of the brain compensates for an injury to the left side. The condition is rare fewer than one hundred cases have been identified. (4) ________ The challenge is how to access that hidden knowledge and skill without experiencing a bang on the head.

1. What hidden talents did the three people discover?

(Ba người đã khám phá ra những tài năng tiềm ẩn nào?)

2. What caused them to discover their hidden talents?

(Điều gì đã khiến họ khám phá ra tài năng tiềm ẩn của mình?)

B. Some of us are athletic, some of us mathematical, some of us artistic, and others musical; some of us are just good, while some are exceptional.

(Một số người trong chúng ta giỏi về thể thao, một số người trong chúng ta giỏi toán học, một số người trong chúng ta có năng khiếu nghệ thuật, và những người khác lại giỏi về âm nhạc; một số người trong chúng ta chỉ giỏi, trong khi một số thì đặc biệt.)

C. We even know where many of the different brain functions, such as memory, sight and smell, are located.

(Chúng ta thậm chí còn biết nhiều chức năng khác nhau của não như trí nhớ, thị giác và khứu giác nằm ở đâu.)

D. However, their existence has led some researchers to argue that there is an undiscovered genius within all of us.

To: Jill Duncan (Head of English)

From: Angle Dalton (School Exchange Organiser)

I've been thinking about having a welcome party for the Vietnamese exchange students. They can come to a get- together in the main hall. Make sure all your staff come along and also could you say a few words? - you know, say hello and tell the visitors a bit about the school and the town. We'll follow this with a bit of food (menu TBC). They can come in through the main entrance and we can get our students to say hello and then they can show the exchange students around the school BTW, I've already posted a map and directions on the website. Thanks, Jill
