I know people had to cope without these things 40 or 50 years ago, but the world was a different place then, wasn't it? Everything's so much faster now, and in some families men and women work just as many hours as each other away from home We couldn't that and bring up children without the support of all these labour-saving devices Person C First of all, of course, we got a PC, partly because it's so useful for work, but also, I suppose, because everyone else seemed to have one That was fine for a couple of years, but then the kids took it over with their computer games, so we got ourselves a laptop for our own exclusive use It doesn't take up much room, and being portable we can use it in any part of the house After that, we just couldn't help ourselves every time a new piece of technology came out; a palm top or personal organizer, a digital video camera, a video mobile phone - we just had to have it And the more things we buy, of course, the more we want Person D We're a bit too old for all this technology A friend of ours says we should be on the Internet but I can't see why, and to be honest I'd be too scared to use it It's all too fast for me In the old days everything used to be so much more simple and people seemed Group: ❣️Tài liệu tiếng Anh B1 VSTEP, APTIS, PET Ruby English to spend a lot more time chatting to each other That's one of the things I miss in this technological world Who thinks - finds it impossible to resist buying the latest technology - is frightened of some of the new technology - likes the speed with which things can be done - thinks people talk to each other less now - has changed her way of thinking - feels that technology is important in the modern-day family - doesn't have much room for domestic appliances Task ( Chọn tiêu đề phù hợp với đoạn văn ) Non-Colonists-in-the-American-Revolution - Mercenary soldiers from Europe - Enlightenment ideas - Devoted to the American cause - French withdrawal from North America - Undercover support - A valuable support and new expectations - Impossible to remain neutral From the point of view of some Europeans, the American Revolution pitted the ideals of the Enlightenment, republicanism, and democracy against Europe's established order, as exemplified by Britain Some countries found that watching wasn't enough—they joined the fight.  One of these countries was France Without France, a very important ally of America in the Revolutionary War, the Americans might not have defeated the British army The French supported the Americans for a number of reasons A weakened England could only heighten France's status and influence—both in Western Europe and around the world as various countries competed to establish colonies Some French might have been seeking payback Only twelve years before the American Revolution, France was Group: ❣️Tài liệu tiếng Anh B1 VSTEP, APTIS, PET Ruby English at war with Britain in the Seven Years’ War, and they lost This resulted in France being forced to give North American territories to Britain Five months after the Declaration of Independence was signed, Benjamin Franklin traveled to Paris He hoped to explain the revolutionary cause to the French and enlist their support Franklin was already popular in France for his writings and scientific discoveries, and he was able to secure French support At first, France supported the Americans only in secret Gunpowder, ammunition, weapons, and money were smuggled into the country, hidden in commercial ships Military strategists crossed the Atlantic to advise Continental Army military commanders In February 1778, France officially recognized the United States (following the Battle of Saratoga, in which the Continental Army decisively defeated the British army and gave a resurgence of hope to the Americans’ fight for independence), and the countries signed an alliance French soldiers fought alongside Americans; French and British fleets clashed from Rhode Island down to Georgia In addition to manpower, France contributed money and weapons For helping the American cause, France spent the equivalent of what would be about 13 billion dollars in the U.S today Spain also supported the Americans First, like France, the Spanish contribution consisted of money and weapons But in 1779, Spain joined France with military support Also like France, the Spanish navy played an important role in combating the formidable British fleet Land and sea battles were sometimes fought far from the North American continent—in the Mediterranean and West Africa But French, Spanish, American, and British armies were not the only armies fighting in the American Revolution A quarter of all soldiers under the British flag were actually from the area known as Germany today—30,000 hired men in all These soldiers were known as Hessians, because many of them were from the independent principality of Hesse-Cassel Native Americans also fought in the American Revolution Most considered the United States to be a threat to their territory, so they fought on the British side In total, approximately 13,000 Native Americans fought for the British But other Native Americans fought against them The Revolution was, for some Native Americans, a controversial and divisive matter For instance, the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as Group: ❣️Tài liệu tiếng Anh B1 VSTEP, APTIS, PET Ruby English the Six Nations, was a powerful organization of tribes that tried to stay neutral But pressed to choose a side, the Confederacy could reach no agreement; it split up, with two tribes pledging their allegiance to the Americans, and four to the British Other notable figures were two men from Poland: Tadeusz Kościuszko and Casimir Pulaski Tadeusz Kościuszko was born in Poland, moved to France, sailed to America, and rose to the rank of brigadier general His countryman, Casimir Pulaski, has been called the “father of the American cavalry.” Pulaski organized and trained the Continental Army's horsemen, which had been used mostly for scouting Pulaski was also promoted to general but was killed in the war Pulaski and Kościuszko joined the Americans out of idealism They believed in the struggle for freedom and self-governance As Pulaski wrote to George Washington after his arrival in Massachusetts, “I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it.” Group: ❣️Tài liệu tiếng Anh B1 VSTEP, APTIS, PET Ruby English ĐÁP ÁN Task 1: C A B A B Task 2: Thứ tự là: Phần 1: Thứ nhất: He loved reading all kinds of stories as a child at school Thứ hai: While he was still a student he wrote several stories on his own Thứ ba: He sent them to lots of publishing companies but they refused to publish them Thứ tư: So he decided to it for himself and printed his first book of short stories in 2014 Thứ năm: People liked it as he sold 3000 copies in just over a week Thứ sáu: He sold more and more books and was rich before he was twenty Phần 2: Thứ nhất: This road is busy during the summer when tourists visit the area Thứ hai: They don't know the road, because many of them are here for the first time Thứ ba: For this reason it is easy for them to take the wrong turn and get lost Thứ tư: This is why we think there should be more signs along the road Thứ năm: These will help visitors to find their way to our beautiful town Thứ sáu: These visitors will improve our town's economy and local businesses Task 3: - finds it impossible to resist buying the latest technology Person C - is frightened of some of the new technology Person D - likes the speed with which things can be done Person B - thinks people talk to each other less now Person D - has changed her way of thinking Person A Group: ❣️Tài liệu tiếng Anh B1 VSTEP, APTIS, PET Ruby English - feels that technology is important in the modern-day family Person B - doesn't have much room for domestic appliances Person A Task 4: - Enlightenment ideas - - French withdrawal from North America - - Undercover support – - Devoted to the American cause – - Mercenary soldiers from Europe - - Impossible to remain neutral – - A valuable support and new expectations - ... or die for it.” Group: ❣️Tài liệu tiếng Anh B1 VSTEP, APTIS, PET Ruby English ĐÁP ÁN Task 1: C A B A B Task 2: Thứ tự là: Phần 1: Thứ nhất: He loved reading all kinds of stories as a child at school... what would be about 13 billion dollars in the U.S today Spain also supported the Americans First, like France, the Spanish contribution consisted of money and weapons But in 17 79, Spain joined... important in the modern-day family - doesn''t have much room for domestic appliances Task ( Chọn tiêu đề phù hợp với đoạn văn ) Non-Colonists-in-the-American-Revolution - Mercenary soldiers from Europe
