II. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).

Symbolic Meaning of Matryoshka

Everyone knows that a Matryoshka is a nesting doll. It is a set of typically seven wooden

dolls of decreasing sizes that all fit inside of each other, one by one. Each stacking doll splits in

half at the midsection and opens to reveal another smaller doll nested within. Each Matryoshka is

handmade, for this reason, it is unique: you cannot find two Matryoshka identical.

Matryoshka is made by different dolls. The biggest doll is called “mother”, the smallest one

is called seed. Originally, the biggest doll represents a strong female matriarch who is the main

symbol of the Russian family. In itself, the doll fits inside little dolls which represent daughters

and sons. For this reason, Matryoshka represents fertility and motherhood.

The Matryoshka is also the symbol of Russia: the big doll represents Russia mother, and in

itself she hosts children, women, men, but also feelings like pain, happiness, joy. It is a mother

who can host all these things. Matryoshka can represent also our life: we are like a big doll with

other dolls inside which represent our stories, relationships, experiences. We are one person with

different experiences. The seed represents our soul which is innocent and it is the real essence of

ourselves.

HANOI, A CAPITAL OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTS

Hanoi has long been home to hundreds of craft villages. Over the years, many of the crafts

have developed, while some have disappeared altogether.

The heart and soul of Hanoi’s vibrant old crafts are its craftsmen and women. One such

couple are Nguyen Van Hoa and his wife Dang Huong Lan of Ba Dinh District’s Hang Than

Street. They are among the few artisans still making elaborate cardboard masks in order to

preserve the traditional culture.

Although the work itself requires many steps, the materials required are simple: newspapers,

glue, paint and paintbrushes. The first step entails tearing the newspapers to pieces and then

using glue to combine them into a mold. The masks are painted one color at a time and then laid

out to dry. Cardboard mask making is therefore dependent on dry weather and the couple can

only make about 2,000 masks per festival. These are priced from VND25.000 to VND35,000 a

piece, bringing in VND50-60 million - a sum is not commensurate with the efforts that go into

making these elaborate crafts.

Making swans out of cotton is also a traditional craft. Only artisan Vu Thi Thanh Tam of 79

Hang Luoc Street in the capital makes these swans. The swan frames are made of notebook

paper and are stuffed with cotton, then a skillful artisan puts each layer of cotton on the swan

frames and uses rice water to smooth them. The swan neck is made of steel wire and is covered

by cotton. The finished product is placed in a rattan basket with cotton around and glass-beads

and silk flowers are added for color.

The continuity of traditional crafts adds to the capital’s attractiveness in the eyes of citizens

and international visitors.

Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities. Almost half of its population are

immigrants. You’ll hear more than 140 languages and dialects spoken on the streets in this “City

of Neighborhoods”. It’s the most populous city in Canada (more than 5 million in the Greater

Toronto Area) and the province of Ontario’s economic engine. Toronto’s motto is “Diversity Our

Strength”. Toronto prides itself on its wide range of cultures, languages, food and arts.

Visit Toronto, and one of the first things you’ll notice is that the city’s appeal lies in its

citizens’ friendliness: ask for directions, and you’ll be helped. Along with its highly artistic

culture and fascinating museums that proudly display the country’s history, it’s clear that a

Toronto trip has something for everyone.

Although Toronto’s climate is partially moderated by its Great Lakes location, it is more

extreme than Bordeaux’s and Christchurch’s, with somewhat hotter summers and considerably

colder winters. Summertime in Toronto is festival time. Just about every weekend, and some

weekdays, you’ll find one happening. If crowds aren’t your thing, avoid Caribana festival (July

28 through July 31), when the city greets more than one million visitors.

II. Read the text carefully. Then do the tasks.

Stress isn’t just a problem for adults. Young people, however, are also suffering from stress

with different causes. Below are some factors that contribute to those youngsters’ unhealthy

levels of stress.

School Pressure

Teenagers often feel stressed about academic and extracurricular demands. Students feel

pressure to complete daily homework, finish projects and study for exams. In addition to the

quest for good grades, teens may also participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports,

student council, cheerleading and clubs. The added pastimes may contribute to teenage stress and

anxiety if the activities arc competitive and require scheduling that cuts into study and relaxation

time.

Peer Pressure

Although teens may have a solid group of friends, their peers may pressure them to hang out

instead of studying or experiment with drugs, alcohol or sexual activities that go against their

morals or family rules. Peer pressure, bullying on campus and harassment may distract teens

from studying, leading them to feel additional stress and anxiety.

Family Problems

Teenagers can also feel stress at home because of family pressures and problems. Arguments

with siblings, disagreements with parents over rules and expectations and the need to

consistently care for younger siblings may also contribute to teen stress.

Sense of Loss

Teens may also feel stress and anxiety when experiencing a sense of loss. “Loss” can mean

the end of a relationship, friendship or cherished extracurricular activity. Breaking up with a

boyfriend or best friend, for example, may lead them to doubt their self-worth or feel anxious

about attending school or social functions because of their change in social status.

A. Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).

1. Stress is a problem of both adults and young people.

2. Youngsters can’t be stressed if they do well in their classes.

3. Peer pressure can make teens unable to concentrate on studying.

4. The family is always the best place, so it doesn’t cause stress for teenagers.

Practical stress management can help students deal with their worries and become more

productive, competent and efficient. First of all, students must be able to design and stick to a

timetable. Choose a relaxing break between work and study, even if it’s just taking out time to

breathe. In addition, a healthy lifestyle is essential for students. Let’s drink more water as well as

take out time to get some air and exercise. Furthermore, organization is very important in

academic life for dealing with stress. By keeping academic notes organized, turning in

assignments on time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great extent.

Stress can also get worse if a person feels lonely. Therefore, by letting out all your thoughts to

someone you trust, you immediately feel a lot better. However, if you feel extremely stressed

out, take a break and do something you love. Whether it is painting or listening to music, doing

something you enjoy can cheer up your mood and distract you from a stressor. It’s about time

that we students accept that we can achieve just as much in life without all the stress.

Changes in Food Habits

Before Stone Age, people used to eat fruits, leaves and anything they found from the forest.

However, this habit changed into hunting animals, preserving food items and planting and

growing vegetables, which eventually led into farming different crops like maize, corn, and rice.

People were healthy, they rarely had diseases and never needed extra exercise because their daily

work kept their bodies running.

At present, we have turned the agriculture into a mass scale production, including machinery,

technology and pesticides, all of which came in with the green revolution. With green revolution

agriculture and the traditional farming culture turned upside down. As far nor now, farmers who

are able to cope up with the multinational cooperation’s and their large-scale, expensive

products, pesticides and high-yielding varieties of seeds, keep producing crops for the market.

Yet the traditional, low-income farmers even today, especially in Asian countries, are in a dire

state.

Fast food is another major factor in modern food habits. Although many people find it

convenient, it leads to many health conditions. Today people are unhealthy, needs medicine and

functions on diets and exercise machines.

LIFE IN THE PAST VS LIFE IN THE PRESENT

Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live.

Obviously, it is difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of the people living in

the twenty-first century because so many changes have occurred. Even the changes that have

occurred over the last ten years are amazing.

To start with, in the past people had to work harder as they did not have tools and machines

to make their work easier. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers

and other powerful machines. In the past living conditions were not as comfortable as they are

now. Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum

cleaner because those used to be luxurious goods. Another difference between living now and in

the past is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to everyone. In the past men were

mainly the only ones educated and women were not allowed into public or private schools.

Besides, nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information you

need – thanks to the Internet. We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the

world because we are connected 24/7. Nevertheless, people had better relationships with the

neighbors in years gone by.

All things considered, it is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly during

the course of history. In some ways, it is definitely easier to live in the present. On the other

hand, however, life now is much faster and stressful than it used to be in the past. The standard

of living has definitely improved but it can be discussed whether the quality of our lives is also

better.


1. Life nowadays is the same as life of our ancestors.

2. Technology has made our lives easier.

Located in Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, about 69km from Da Nang City and

20km from Tra Kieu ancient capital, My Son Sanctuary is the complex of numerous Champa

tower-temples in a valley roughly two kilometers wide, surrounded by two mountain ranges.

This used to be a site of religious ceremony for kings of the ruling dynasties of Champa, as well

as a burial place for Cham royalty and national heroes.

My Son Sanctuary is regarded as one of the main religious centers of Hinduism in Southeast

Asia and is the foremost heritage site of this nature in Vietnam. Notably, among 225 Cham

vestiges that are founded in Vietnam, My Son possesses 71 monuments and 32 epitaphs, the

content of which is still being studied. My Son Sanctuary is often compared with other historical

temple complexes in Southeast Asia, such as Borobudur of Java in Indonesia, Angkor Wat in

Cambodia, Bagan of Myanmar or Ayutthaya in Thailand.

My Son Sanctuary was honored as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites at the 23 rd

session of the World Heritage Committee in 1999. Based on architectural remains, My Son

perhaps began construction in 4 th century. It is perhaps the longest inhabited archaeological site

in Indochina. Although time and wars have turned numerous tower-temples into ruins, sculptural

artifacts and architectural remains still reflected golden age of Cham fine arts history. These

masterpieces have marked flourishing periods of Champa culture and architecture as well as in

Southeast Asia.

II. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answers.

In the early 17 th century, most of the southern region of Vietnam was nearly uninhabited and

in the position of Ho Chi Minh City, there was a small village formed with a few residents.

However, thanks to its advantage in location, the town grew both economically and politically.

By the 19 th century, this had become a cultural hub of the South as well as an important trading

center of the country.

Sadly, having been through various occurrences and two disastrous wars has stunted the city’s

development. Only after the political instabilities had settled, Saigon recovered miraculously and

maintained its leading position in terms of both the economics and culture. Officially named as

Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon today has 22 districts in total and attracts hundreds of thousands of

Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a

century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the

way of life of the twentieth century.

Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past

mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in this

sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in

manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam, which was traditionally

agrarian, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important

component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing

amount of economic activity.

However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Vietnam have

retained many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly

today as they were in the past. This is best exemplified in the way they welcome foreigners to

their unique country. Moreover, the resilience and determination of the people of Vietnam has

not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the development of their

country.

A. Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. A minority of countries around the world have experienced dramatic change in the previous

century.

2. Vietnam is not as agrarian as it was in the past.

3. Vietnamese people nowadays are friendlier to foreigners than they used to be.

4. The differences between the lifestyles of yesterday and the lifestyles of today are not evident.

The Temple of Literature was constructed in 1070 under Ly Thanh Tong’s dynasty to honor

Confucius at first and celebrate the doctorates and high rank scholars of Vietnam. In 1076, King

Ly Nhan Tong continued the work and built Quoc Tu Giam as the first university of Vietnam.

The temple is divided into five court yards, each with its own significance and history. The

first courtyard stretches from the main gate to Dai Trung gate. The second stands out with Khue

Van Cac pavilion. The third courtyard is where doctors’ names were engraved on stelae above

tortoise backs. There are a total of 82 stelae, with names and origins of 1307 doctors,

corresponding to 82 examination courses from 1442 to 1779. The fourth courtyard is dedicated

for Confucius and his 72 honored students, as well as Chu Van An - a famous teacher known for

his devotion to teaching. This is also where local authorities choose to honor outstanding

students in Hanoi nowadays, like those with top entrance results to university or top graduation

outcomes. The last and also furthest courtyard is Thai Hoc house, which used to be Quoc Tu

Giam - the first university of Vietnam.

damaged.

not all of them are aware of protecting it.

restoration.

- So, do you have any suggestion on preserving them?

- I suggest limit the number of tourists visiting those places on a daily and yearly basis, they

should be restored once or twice. Additionally, the media should convey information about

this topic to raise awareness of the citizens.

II. Read the article and do the tasks.

1. _________________

HOW TO STAY HEALTHY

People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables are less likely to have heart problems. A variety of

fruit and vegetables should make up about a third of the food you eat each day. You should eat at

least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. A portion is e.g. a banana, an apple, a pear, one

slice of melon or pineapple or two plums. Remember that potatoes don’t count because they’re a

starchy food.

2. _________________

Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. And people with high blood pressure are

three times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than people with normal blood

pressure. Lots of people think they don’t eat much salt, especially if they don’t add it to their food.

But don’t be so sure! Three-quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as

breakfast cereals, soups, sauces and ready meals. So you could easily be eating too much salt

without realizing it.

3. _________________

Having too much saturated fat can cause heart disease. Try to cut down on food that is high in

saturated fat, such as meat, pies, cheese, butter, lard, cream and cakes, and have foods that are rich

in unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil), oily

fish, avocados, nuts and seeds.

4. _________________

Having sugary foods and drinks too often can cause tooth decay, especially if you have them

between meals. Many foods that contain added sugar can also be high in calories, so cutting down

could help you control your weight. Try to eat fewer foods with added sugar, such as sweets, cakes

and biscuits, and drink fewer sugary soft and fizzy drinks.

5. _________________

About 60% of your body weight is made of water. If you don’t get enough water, you can

become dehydrated. Severe cases of dehydration can cause dizziness, confusion, and even seizures.

Drink about 6 to 8 glasses of water every day and even more when the weather is warm. Don’t

drink too much coffee or tea as they can dehydrate you.


A. Match the titles of the paragraphs.

A. Cut down on salt

B. Avoid saturated fat

C. Implement Five-a-day

D. Drink a lot of water

E. Reduce daily sugar intake

B. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. Eating lots of fruit and vegetables can reduce your risk for heart disease.

2. One melon would count as one of your daily portions.

3. A potato is classed as one portion of your five a day.

4. High salt intake increases blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease.

5. The foods we buy can contain more salt than we realise.

6. Eating too many foods high in saturated fats can be bad for your health.

7. Vegetable oils like olive, sunflower or canola are rich in saturated fat.

We need to eat to meet our nutritional needs, but people often make their food choices for

reasons other than nutrition. The availability of foods and their cost, the taste and appearance of

foods, personal food likes and dislikes, convenience, religious and cultural practices and traditions,

health and medical conditions, etc. are reasons why people eat the foods that they eat.


The foods in people’s diets around the world are very different from each other, but all good

diets must be composed of a variety of different foods that provide all of the food energy and other

nutrients in the amounts needed. For most people, a good meal will be based on a starchy food,

sometimes referred to as a “staple” food, as it forms the basis or main portion of the meal, and a

variety of other foods (side dishes) that provide the additional protein, vitamins and minerals

needed for a good, healthy diet.

Staple foods are usually starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, bread, couscous, maize

(corn), potatoes, and foods made from wheat, rice, rye, barley or oats. The other foods eaten with

the meal should include generous amounts of vegetables and fruits; good amounts of legumes;

smaller amounts of meat, poultry, eggs or fish and milk and milk products, such as cheese and

yoghurt. The greater the variety of side dishes served with the staple food, the greater the chance

that all the needed nutrients are included in the meal.

A. Find the word or phrase in bold in the passage that means:

1. more than is necessary; large ____________

2. containing a lot of starch which provides the body with energy ____________

3. seeds in a pod, such as peas and beans ____________

4. the way something looks ____________

5. an amount of food for one person ____________

6. relating to the substances in food that help you to stay healthy ____________

8. the kinds of food that a person usually eats ____________

B. Choose the best answers.

a. everything you need to satisfy your hunger

c. A food that makes up a significant portion of a person’s diet

d. A food that provides a large amount of starch.

TOURISM TODAY

People travel all over the world and attend a lot of interesting places. The effect of travelling

of large amount of people sometimes is incredible. Here are some examples of it.

Large number of people coming to one place once at a time can have less comfortable

accommodation as it was in Scotland where only 40% of tourists were offered hotels.

Tourism is one of the principal contributions of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea and as the

number of people increase, the problem worsen. Several laws and initiatives have been

implemented in order to protect the Mediterranean Sea from further degradation. The rapid tourism

development of Bali has had a great effect on its natural environment, affecting water resources,

increasing pollution and localized flooding, as well as putting pressure on the island’s

infrastructure.

In Cancun, Mexico, tourism has extensively damaged the lagoon, obliterated sand dunes, led

to the extinction of varying species of animals and fish, and destroyed the rainforest which

surrounds the island. It was only twenty years after it was developed, that the government of

Mexico decided to limit projects along the coast to prevent further damage to the island’s

environment.

In Trinidad and Tobago there are shortages of water due to the overpopulation of tourists on

the island. The most damaging effect of tourism has been the destruction of coral reefs, as they are

harvested for sale to tourists and destroyed by tourists stepping on them as they enter the water.

Ecotourism: See the World While Saving It

Imagine a vacation in a place of amazing natural beauty. Picture yourself relaxing on a clean

beach in Belize. Picture yourself exploring the desert on a camel in Dubai. Or picture yourself

following lions and zebras in Kenya. Now imagine that you are enjoying these experiences and

helping to preserve the environment. You are protecting wildlife and supporting local communities.

Is this too good to be true? No! These vacations are part of a growing trend in the travel industry.

The trend is called ecotourism.

Ecotourism was not common before the 1990s. It is now a multi-billion dollar industry. But

what is ecotourism? These are some of its characteristics:


• It means travel to natural, often far away, places. These are often protected areas where

development is limited.

• Ecotourism destinations focus on recycling, water conservation, and using renewable energy

sources.

• It builds environmental awareness. Visitors explore an area and learn about it.

• It provides an economic reason to save the environment. It raises money to help protect it.

• It creates financial opportunities and jobs for the local people.

Costa Rica was one of the first success stories. Costa Rica once had the highest rate of

deforestation in Latin America. However, since ecotourism, there has been a major reduction in

deforestation. Now, more than a quarter of Costa Rica’s land is protected from development. Costa

Rica is now the world’s top ecotourism destination. This small country of four million people has

about 1.5 million visitors per year!

Ecotourism is very important to preserving the land in Costa Rica. This is true for other

ecotourism sites around the world. Ecotourism provides visitors with a special vacation too. These

vacations are unforgettable and educational. Ecotourism is basically a win-win situation. It is good

for both the tourists and the countries they visit.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

a. The rise of ecotourism in Costa Rica.

b. Ecotourism and its positive effects.

c. The impact of ecotourism on the environment.

d. How to develop ecotourism.

2. What is not the purpose of ecotourism?

a. To conserve the natural environment.

b. To promote the environmental awareness of visitors.

c. To attract more tourists to protected natural areas.

d. To provide financial benefits for local communities.

3. Which of the following statements is not true about ecotourism?

a. It first came onto the scene in the early 1990s.

b. It can mean travel to far off places of great natural beauty.

c. It contributes to conservation of the natural resources.

d. It is big business, generating millions of dollars annually.

a. Costa Rica was very successful in embracing ecotourism.

b. Costa Rica experienced the world’s highest deforestation rate.

c. Costa Rica is a small country with a population of 4 million.

d. Costa Rica is known worldwide as a top spot for ecological tourism.

5. What is the meaning of “a win-win situation”?

a. A situation in which everyone benefits.

b. A situation in which there is no chance of success.


c. A situation in which something unpleasant could happen.

English as a global language

People often talk about English as a global language or lingua franca. With more than 350

million people around the world speaking English as a first language and more than 430 million

speaking it as a second language, there are English speakers in most countries around the world.

Why is English so popular, though? And why has it become a global language?

People often call English the international language of business, and it’s increasingly true as

international trade expands every year, bringing new countries into contact. Most multinational

companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees so in order to

get a position with a top company, more and more people are learning English.

If your ambitions lie in science or medicine, you can’t neglect English either. Much of the

technical terminology is based on English words, and if you want to learn about the latest

developments and discoveries from around the world, you’ll read about them in journals and

research reports published in English, no matter whether the scientists who wrote them are from

China or Norway.

If you want a career in travel, English is absolutely essential. As the international language of

aviation, pilots and cabin crew all need to speak English. Even if you’re not up in the air, speaking

English accurately will ensure you are able to communicate with clients and suppliers all over the

world.


So, what’s stopping you from learning this global language? With all the English resources

available on the internet and so many other English speakers around the world to practice with,

there’s never been a better time to start learning English. Pick up a book, learn a few words, or even

start a course today and take your first steps towards becoming one of nearly 800 million English

speakers in the world.

Learning a new language is always an excellent idea. It provides you incredible benefits that

come with the backing of science! One of the most useful languages to learn is English.

Learning a second language is one of the best ways to keep your brain active and challenged.

Studies have shown that the brain undergoes changes in electrical activity and even structure and

size while learning a foreign language that do not occur when learning any other type of task or

skill. Learning another language offers important cognitive benefits at any age, helping to keep the

mind active and even reducing the risk of mental disease and slowing mental decline later in life.

When learning English as a second language, you approach new ways to think and express

yourself through written and spoken words. Learning multiple languages can help you communicate

more clearly in any language as you learn more about how language itself works and how to use it

to promote ideas and reach out to others in a variety of social and work situations.

The world may not have a global language, but English is the default option for countless forms

of communication across the globe. That’s why one of the benefits of learning English is that it

significantly boosts your hiring potential. In addition, it can offer you educational opportunities. If

you desire access to some of the best schools like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge or MIT,

then knowing English provides you an incredible edge. It’s expected that around 2 billion people

In 2006, Anousheh Ansari became the first female space tourist when she made the trip from

Russia to the International Space Station (ISS). Anousheh stayed on the ISS for eight days and kept

a blog. Parts of her blog are shown here.

September 25th

Anousheh’s Space Blog

Everyone wants to know: how do you take a shower in space? How do you brush your teeth?

Well my friends, I must admit keeping clean in space is not easy! There is no shower with running

water. Water does not ‘flow’ here, it ‘floats’ - which makes it a challenging act to clean yourself

There are wet towels, wet wipes and dry towels that are used. Now brushing your teeth in space is

another joy. You cannot rinse your mouth and spit after brushing, so you end up rinsing and

swallowing. Astronauts call it the ‘fresh mint effect’.

September 27th

Being weightless has some wonderful advantages. You can lift a really heavy object with one

hand and move it around with one finger. You can fly and float around instead of walking. You can

do somersaults at any age. Everything is effortless. If you want to move forward, you slightly touch

a wall with one finger and you start moving in the opposite direction. If you have left your book at

the other side of the module, no problem - you ask someone close to it to send it to you. That means

they pick it up and very gently push it towards you, and here it is - your book flying to you all the

way from the other side.

THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest structure humans have ever put into space.

This gigantic satellite is used both as a laboratory for new technologies and an observation platform

for astronomical, environmental and geological research. It is a permanently occupied outpost in

outer space and it is considered to be an important stepping-stone for further space exploration.

The space station flies at an average altitude of 400 kilometers above the Earth and it circles the

globe every 90 minutes at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour, which means that in just one

day, the station travels about the distance it would take from Earth to the moon and back. It also

means that astronauts on board the ISS get to see a sunrise every one and a half hour.

Five different space agencies representing 15 countries built the International Space Station for

no less than 100 billion dollars. The primary partners on the project are NASA, Russia’s Roscosmos

State Corporation for Space Activities, the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency

and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

The International Space Station was taken into space piece-by-piece, which means that consists

of modules and connecting nodes that contain living quarters and laboratories powered by solar

panels. The first module, the Russia Zarya, was launched in 1998. Since then, a number of different

modules have been added, extending the ISS one piece at a time. The space station spans the area of

a U.S. football field, and weighs 391,000 kilograms. The complex now has more living space than a

conventional five-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms and gym facilities and a 360-degree bay

window. Astronauts have also compared the space station’s living space to the cabin of a Boeing

747 jumbo jet.

In the past, fathers were not (1) ________ for taking care of their children, spend time with

their children, preparing food for them, and helping them in their homework. This happened

because the sole responsibility of (2) ________ was on the shoulder of men. Now, as women are

The number of fathers deciding to stay home is rising at a (6) ________ pace. This may happen

With millions of jobs set to be replaced by changes in technology, we may not be able to stop

the rise of robots and automation. The robots are coming. We can see the enormous strides that

technology makes each year and the jobs taken over by automation. Yes, believe it or not, there

really are robots performing surgeries on humans. Robot-assisted surgery can give surgeons more

precise control over their instruments and an improved view of what they are doing.

Computer systems are becoming incredibly good at performing multi-faceted tasks. Take

autonomous cars which can be classified as robotic vehicles. Driving would fit all the criteria for a

complicated task that only humans should be able to perform, yet we have autonomous cars

increasingly racking up the miles collision free. In the game-playing arena, we are seeing machines

beat the previously unbeatable professional players and generally encroaching on skills that once

belonged to humans alone. All these technologies eventually can be integrated into robots. Are we

close to the tipping point where humans become redundant in many sectors?

According to a recent survey, four million jobs in the British private sector could be replaced

by robots in the next decade. That would impact on 15 percent of the current workforce and would

have much the same impact in Ireland. Of course, new opportunities will come along, particularly

ones which require strong cognitive and social skills, but this really means that people will have to

become more human.

The education system of the 21st century has changed radically with the integration of the

Now, in the twenty-first century education depends on Thinking Skills, Interpersonal Skills,

Information Media, Technological Skills as well as Life Skills. Especially, the education of the

present time emphasizes on life and career skills. Now there has no value for rote learning. In

general, it needs to meet the industry need. To clarify, the teaching will be effective when a student

can use the lesson outside of the classroom.

For changing the globalizing world, the role of the teachers is essential to improve the

sustainable education. At the same time, inspiring and guiding the students in increasing

employability skills with the digital tools is the prerequisite for a teacher. Thus a teacher in the

twenty-first century will be a digital teacher. Teachers are not the facilitator for learning of the

students only, and now they are responsible for training the students for increasing employability

skills, expanding the mind, growing digital citizenship, critical thinking, and creativity as well as

sustainable learning. Thus, the winning of the students is the win of the teachers.

will not get the lesson, and it will increase the rate of educated unemployed in the digital era.

The Right Job for Your Personality

Choosing a career is an important life decision, yet many people settle on one based on the

opinions of friends and family. It’s very difficult to find something you really enjoy doing, but

scientists have devised tests to help people come closer to finding their dream job. Take a look at

the six personality types below and see which jobs might be right for you. Most people are a

combination of two or three types.


Realistic

Realistic people like to work with things they can see or touch. They are inclined to solve

problems by doing them, rather than thinking or talking about them. They generally like to work

outside and are good with tools, machines, plants, and animals. Job matches: carpenter, chef, nurse,

pilot

Investigative

People of this personality type value ideas and are strong at tasks that allow them to investigate

facts and figure out complex problems. They are better at individual work like research and study,

rather than leading groups of people or working in teams. Job matches: computer programmer,

historian, psychologist, surgeon

Artistic

Artists are creative people. They don’t work well with structure and rules, and thrive instead in

environments that allow communication and a free flow of ideas. They enjoy tasks that allow them

to express themselves and mix with people. Job matches: actor, art therapist, graphic designer,

writer

Social

Social personalities love to work with people. They get the most satisfaction out of teaching

and helping others, and are driven to serve the community as opposed to making money. Job

matches: coach, counselor, social worker, teacher

Enterprising

Many great leaders and business people have enterprising personalities. These are persuasive

people who are good at making decisions and leading teams. They tend to value money, power, and

status, and will work toward achieving them. Job matches: business owner, event manager, lawyer,

salesperson

Conventional

Conventional people appreciate rules and regulations, and like having structure to their lives.

They are logical thinkers and have a lot of self-control, making them the perfect people to work

with data and details. Job matches: accountant, analyst, editor, librarian

Young people in school today will be joining the workforce tomorrow. But are they being

prepared for success in the 21st-century work environment?

When asked if students are missing skills for the workforce, we heard a resounding ‘yes.’

Students today learn academic core subjects, which are useful. But they aren’t gaining all the

knowledge they need to seamlessly integrate into the office environment.

For instance, not all students have the right computer skills. “As technology has become

pervasive in the classroom and the workplace, solid technology skills are essential for every

student. Teaching digital literacy skills ultimately falls upon educators. Schools need to go beyond

the ‘three R’s’ to improve college and career readiness with technical skills,” said Ray Kelly, CEO,

Certiport, a certification testing company

Beyond that, students need to be ready to meet specific employer needs. “Too often, high

school students do not demonstrate workplace habits that employers prioritize, including

reliability, punctuality, customer service and high-quality task completion,” said Andrew

Rothstein, Chief Academic Officer of the National Academy Foundation. “There are also frequent

issues with written and presentation skills that are appropriate in a business context. Teamwork and

problem solving are the new constants.”

Indeed, teamwork is a very important - and often absent - skill among students entering the

workforce. “Students need to learn how to work well with others - cooperative learning, working in

groups. Students need to be able to think out of the box and be creative. They need to find

different ways to offer solutions,” said Marilyn Curtain-Phillips, a high school math teacher and

college professor.

A. Match the words or phrases with their definitions.

1. resounding

2. seamlessly

3. pervasive

4. ultimately

5. go beyond

6. prioritize

7. reliability

8. constants


a. the quality of being able to be trusted

b. finally

a. The quality of being satisfactory b. Good written communication skills

ROBOT TEACHERS

If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you probably put doctors and teachers at the

top of the list. However, in some cases robots already perform better than doctors at diagnosing

illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a

machine than with a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He predicts by 2027 robots will do the main

job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read

students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to

each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the

ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked.

Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’

Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and

update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11

hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework

and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do

best.

1. Robots are always better at diagnosing illness than doctors.

2. Education experts agree robots will fully replace teachers by 2027.

3. Anthony Seldon thinks teachers in the future will help robots in class.

4. Robot teachers will be able to read the brains and facial expressions of students and change the

information so that it fits each student.

5. One advantage of robot teachers is that they could empathise with students.

6. Robot assistants could help teachers by marking homework.

7. Teachers can use robots to reduce their time writing reports and preparing lessons.

8. The passage mainly discusses _______ .

a. the development of artificial intelligence

b. the replacement of a teacher by computers

c. robotics in the classroom

d. the work of the teacher in the future

9. Anthony Seldon, a British education expert, claims that by 2027 _______ .

a. robots will mainly help teachers transfer information

b. the school curriculum will be adapted to individual learning styles

c. robots will have the ability to really connect with humans

d. robots will begin replacing teachers in the classroom

10. According to the last paragraph, teachers _______ .

a. work harder than office workers


b. have less help than office workers

c. waste a lot of time marking homework

d. will only teach knowledge to students

11. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _______ .

a. doctors and teachers seem as if they can be replaced by robots or computers

b. machines sometimes can outperform doctors in disease diagnoses

c. robots will probably never have human understanding of emotions

d. overwork is one of the reasons teachers are leaving the profession
