Ngoc: In this week’s programme we’ll share with you some cool ways to hang out

with your best friends after a busy week at school Basically you can hang out indoors or outdoors If you like staying indoors, ask your parents if you can invite one or two friends over Make some popcorn! Watch a movie! It’s more comfortable than going to a cinema! Or if you’re feeling creative, you can make crafts together You’ll feel satisfied once you finish something If you fancy being outdoors, play some sports together

Five-coloured sticky rice is an important traditional dish of many ethnic minorities

in the northern mountainous regions People call the dish five-coloured sticky rice because it has five-coloured: red, yellow, green, purple and white The things that

Trang 5

create the colours are not chemicals but natural roots and leaves The five-coloured

of the dish represent five elements of life according to Vietnamese beliefs: yellow is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal, and purple or black is water People believe that these five elements create harmony between heaven and earth Five- coloured sticky rice is usually made and enjoyed at Tet, in festivals and ceremonies,

on special occasions, and whenever the family has guests

LIFE IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE

According to a recent survey by Country Life magazine, about 80 percent of Britain’s population dream of living in the countryside In fact the countryside of England today shows the wealth of landowners and those who can aﬀord to escape the busy and noisy city life

English village communities are often small and close They are warm and usually welcoming Maggie, who lives in North Yorkshire, says: ‘Village life is wonderful and safe for the kids There is a great sense of community here It is more relaxing and you can’t tell who has money and who doesn’t’ People in the English countryside use private transport more, and the environment hasn’t been spoilt much

if you are a guest, you have to wait until the host or hostess starts eating and you should ask another person to pass the food Next, never chew with your mouth open and don’t talk with food in your mouth…

After living in France for a few months, I realised that I really should stop trying to

be so polite all the time The French seem to find it annoying if you say things like

‘I’m awfully sorry’ because they feel you are wasting their time It must seem to them that the British spend their whole time apologising! The French don’t really make

‘small talk‘ either Chatting to strangers such as taxi drivers or shop assistants, especially politely, is seen as rather strange And there is another interesting diﬀerence People at dinner parties in France will expect to take part in a serious discussion The guests are often asked their opinions on ‘big issues’ British people enjoy discussions about house prices and education However, they are sometimes surprised if their guests want to talk about anything serious, such as politics or art

Reporter: Does thermal pollution mean that bodies of water get hotter, Mr Nam?

Mr Nam: Not always Sometimes the water becomes colder, and that’s also thermal pollution In general, thermal pollution means a change in the water temperature

Trang 13

Reporter: That’s interesting! What causes it?

Mr Nam: Power stations are one factor They use water in the nearby lakes or rivers

to cool their equipment, which heats up the water Then they dump the hot water back into its source

Reporter: Are there any other causes?

Mr Nam: Yes Thermal pollution may also happen due to the discharge of cold water from reservoirs into warm rivers

Reporter: Thermal pollution can have dramatic eﬀects Right?

Mr Nam: Certainly Most aquatic creatures need a certain temperature to survive Warmer water has less oxygen in it, and this can harm fish populations Besides, warmer water can cause harmful algal blooms This can change the colour of the water like in the first picture and, more seriously, the algae poisons the fish

Reporter: What can we do, Mr Nam?

Mr Nam: In many places, they build cooling towers like in the second picture to cool down the water from power stations

Reporter: Anything else we can do? …

Communication (Page 31)

Tape script

Welcome to ‘Nature and You.’ Today we have asked our listeners around the world

to call us to express their views on these two questions: ‘Are there more natural disasters now than there were in the past?’ and ‘Are we prepared to deal with natural disasters?’

Trang 16

- Hi, I’m Sarah from Sydney, Australia I think there are more natural disasters now than there used to be Whenever I watch the news on TV, I see places that are ﬂooded or aﬀected by drought I’m certain this is the result of climate change and global warming

- Hello, I’m Peter from London, England I don’t think that there are more natural disasters now than in the past But more are being reported on the news in shorter time periods We’ve seen them so often on the news that we’ve become used to them

- Hi, everyone, I’m Nubita from Tokyo, Japan I think recent earthquakes and tsunamis just show how unprepared we are to deal with them Despite all the technology and knowledge available to us nowadays, many people become victims

of natural disasters

- Good evening everyone, I’m Linh from Ha Noi, Viet Nam I don’t think we can prepare for natural disasters as nobody knows when or where they are going to strike It’s Nature’s way of reminding us who is in charge and that we should show more respect to the natural environment

Trang 17

people were seriously injured and hundreds of others were left homeless The severe winds caused extensive damage to property, including homes and businesses, particularly in Cua Lo, a coastal town in Nghe An The storm had already weakened

by the time emergency workers arrived in the area Rescue operations have started and many people trapped in collapsed or damaged buildings have been freed Workers are now clearing up the debris left behind by the severe storm The government has already sent rescue equipment to Nghe An, as well as food and medical supplies People left homeless have been taken to safe areas, where temporary accommodation will be built to house them The weather bureau has issued ﬂood warnings for Nghe An and nearby provinces as heavy rain is expected

to continue over the next few days

Nguyen: Is Singapore really as clean as it’s advertised?

Phong: Yes, it is

Nguyen: How can they do that?

Trang 18

Phong: They have a very strict policy on keeping the environment clean Before we started our tour, the tour guide warned us that we could be fined or arrested for spitting or littering

Nguyen: But how would they know?

Phong: There are hundreds of officers in plain clothes Their job is to blend into the crowd and spot anyone who breaks the law

Nguyen: What would happen if you did break the law?

Phong: Well, for example, if you spat out your chewing gum in the street, you would

be fined two hundred dollars

Nguyen: Really? But how could you know about it?

Phong: There are posters in public places to tell people what they should or shouldn’t do

Nguyen: That’s a good idea

Phong: And from a young age, children are taught how to behave at school and in the family

Nguyen: Habits start early, right?

Phong: Yes Once you’ve learnt them, they become lifetime habits

Unit 10: Communication

Listening (Page 45)

Tape script

Reporter: Dr Minh Vu, what exactly is ‘netiquette’?

Dr Minh Vu: The word is a combination of ‘net’ and ‘etiquette’ It’s a set of rules for behaving properly online

Reporter: Could you tell us the main rule of netiquette?

Dr Minh Vu: Remember that the people we’re communicating with online are real people Don’t say and do unpleasant things online, just like in real life

Reporter: But sometimes perhaps it’s not what we communicate, but how we communicate…?

Dr Minh Vu: Absolutely For example, if you write emails, or post comments using CAPS LOCK, this means you are shouting at people!

Reporter: Of course it’s not polite at all What else should we do when sending emails?

Dr Minh Vu: Check your message for spelling mistakes before you send it It shows respect towards the other person Don’t use too much shorthand This may confuse your reader

Reporter: How about behaviour in chat rooms and on message boards?
