Trang 3

When the child reaches school-age, the role of the family remains critically important Every child has the fundamental right to a quality basic education UNICEF devotes special efforts to giving boys and girls equal learning opportunities

When the child reaches adolescence- a time that matters, the family continues to play a protective role Adolescents often make decisions that have lifelong consequences It is precisely at this time that adolescents need continuing support and guidance of their family in order to achieve the right of developments and participation

UNICEF is also committed to promoting gender equality and eliminating gender disparity Through health care and basic education programs, UNICEF supports women's full participation and empowerment in the community and within their families; UNICEF works to end violence against women and girls, particularly violence within their families

Finally, the family's protection is especially important for children who are exposed to natural disasters, wars or armed conflicts When families are under stress, children are more likely to fall prey to exploitation and abuse UNICEF has developed strategies that help to preserve families under stress and strengthen family capacities, as well as to protect children without parental care Even with efforts to ensure that children remain with their families, there are times when children are separated from their families UNICEF attempts to reunite these children with their families, whenever possible, and as quickly as possible UNICEF seeks to ensure that children separated from their families are cared for by extended family members or other caregivers who will provide as close-to -a family experience as possible, until it is possible for them to return to family life

"A strong, loving and supportive family is the best environment for raising children and the best start for ensuring that the rights of children are fulfilled," says UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy

How you learn as a student in the knowledge economy may be a little different from how you have gone about your learning in the past One of the differences is you don't have to turn up for class at some designated time and day because there are no lectures While this may disappoint some people, the fact of the matter is that research consistently shows that lecturing is the least effective of pedagogies This is because, with a few exceptions, students play a passive role which usually amounts to surface learning

One of the great benefits provided by the now ubiquitous information and communication technologies (ICTs) is the opportunity for a more holistic learning environment; one that is inclusive, authentic, highly interactive and "most importantly" relevant to the needs of learners The days of information transmission are over Online learning focuses instead on developing your power of analysis and synthesis, not your ability to memorize facts and figures The thinking, simply, is that in the information age, information is everywhere It is literally (and metaphorically!) at our finger tips The challenge, therefore, is making some sense of this information and, in the process, transform it into knowledge

Task C: Translate the following text into Vietnamese

Over 40 per cent of the world's sugar cane is produced in Asia And ethyl alcohol extracted from sugar cane can be used as fuel for cars That's right; gasoline is not the only thing to power automobiles At Honda, we have been examining a whole range of alternative energy sources as part of our drive to build the ultimate clean car And of those we've studied, the one that stands out is hydrogen

The word hydro is derived from the Greek hydro (water) and genes (forming), so hydrogen actually means "water forming" At just one fourteenth the density of air, hydrogen does not exist as a free gas on earth But it is found in over 70 percent of substances around us: in the water we use every day, in natural gas, and even in garbage In other words, hydrogen is plentiful and found in any number of things What's more, hydrogen used to generate electricity in a fuel cell produces no harmful by-products

Unlike the burning of gasoline or natural gas, the only by product of spent hydrogen is water Better still, this water can be reused to generate more hydrogen In short, hydrogen is an extremely efficient energy source: it is clean, can be made from a wide variety of substances, and also regenerated The fact is, regeneration of hydrogen from water makes it part of an endless flow, an inexhaustible energy source Powering vehicles with clean energy that never runs out…that is one of Honda's dreams, a car that leaves nothing behind but water

an acorn, then he refilled the hole; he was planting oak trees

After the midday meal he resumed his planting For three years he had been planting trees in this wilderness He had planted one hundred thousand Of the hundred thousand, twenty thousand had sprouted Of the twenty thousand, he still expected to lose half There remained ten thousand oak trees to grow where nothing had grown before

That was when I began to wonder about the age of this man He was obviously over fifty Fifty five he told me His name was Elzeard Bouffier I told him that in ten years his ten thousand oaks would be magnificent He answered that if God granted his life, in another thirty years he

Task C: Translate the following text into Vietnamese

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said no It seemed likely that computers and the internet would replace books Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay

There are a number of reasons why computers won't replace books entirely One reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers Books don't need a power source either You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want You never have to worry about losing power Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a computer screen It is less tiring to the eyes

What is the technology behind Professor Jacobson's book? Two important inventions will make this new kind of book possible: electronic ink and radio paper Electronic ink - or "e-ink"- is a liquid that can be printed on paper, metal, or anything else Unlike regular ink, however, words in e-ink are not permanent Pushing a button can change them When you push a button, all the words on the page go and new words appear

The other new invention is radio paper This paper looks and feels like a page in a book In reality, however, radio paper is made of plastic Professor Jacobson calls his book of the future

"the last book." This book, he says, will be the last book you will ever read
