contribution of many people whom I have been holding onto for a generous base of support First and foremost, I am particularly indebted to my thesis supervisor for being such an inspirational and devoted mentor Dr Nguyen Thu Huong, with his exceptionally smart mind and pure heart, is a shining example of how true teachers and true scientists should be like Getting to know him and then having that blessed opportunity to work under his supervision was what I always secretly cherished Time will go by, but forever shall I be his thankful mentee and proud daughter My heartfelt thanks also go to Trinh Hoang Yen, who patiently spent hours teaching an IT illiterate like me sophisticated features of the SPSS software as well as being my demanding proofreader, giving me a much-needed sense of direction whenever I lost my heart along the way A sincere word of thanks should then be sent to all of my students and colleagues at Viet Uc Language School and Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City, especially Perry Graf and Bryan Wise, who helped me a lot in validating the my research instruments Throughout the various stages of this research, their participation- either enthusiastic or reluctant, and their support- either direct or indirect, have never been of less importance to its final success Furthermore, if the much-quoted saying, “Happiness is a journey, not a destination” is trustworthy, then Bui Thi Loc, Le Hung Vu, Tran Ky Phong, Ly Thi Kim Cuong, Pham Thi Thanh Thao, Dang Thi Doan Trang, and Le Thi Mong Tuyen… are names everlastingly capable of ringing a bell to me because m y arduous journey so far had become much more colorful and pleasant thanks to the ups and downs we shared I appreciate them all Finally, this thesis would have been impossible without my family members’ encouragement I owe my thanks to my father- Cu Tien Duc, my mother- Pham i Thi Be, my two elder sisters- Cu Yen Ha, Cu Khanh Thu, and my fiancé Doan Van Tuan Anh- for their tolerance of my obsessive preoccupation in writing this Master thesis Those beloved ones would barely touch upon a single page of the completed thesis and would never know I kept on fighting till the end just to guarantee that their blind trust in me had not been misplaced Let me keep them here in a place closest to my heart! ii STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I certify m y authorship of the thesis submitted

the environment is in trouble and environmental degradation is now a major world problem Factories burn fossil fuel which produces acid rain, and this kill trees At the same time, greenhouse gases rise into the air and contribute to global warming, which threatens to melt the polar ice cap Meanwhile farmers clear huge areas of rain forest in places such as the Amazon to produce feeding land for cattle or produce wood for building Rivers and oceans are so heavily contaminated by industrial waste that is no longer safe to go swimming Cars pump out poisonous emissions which we all have to breathe in Poaching and overfishing are killing off millions of animals, including whales, elephants and other endangered species In fact, all around us, all living things are large and small which comprise our finely balanced ecosystem are being systematically destroyed by human greed and thoughtlessness There is a lot we can do, however, to help prevent this The earliest thing, of course, is to recycle waste material such as paper and glass so that we can use it again We should also check that the things we buy from supermarkets are packaged in biodegradable packaging 186 which decomposes easily At the same time, we should make a conscious effort to avoid food which are genetically-modified (at least until someone proves that they are safe both for us and for the environment) If you are truly committed to protecting the environment, of course, you should only buy organic fruit and vegetables, safe in the knowledge that they have been naturally cultivated Finally, of course, we should buy a small car that uses unleaded petrol which is less harmful to the environment or, even better, make more use of public transport The serious environmentalists, however, much more They are aware of the global issue involved, know clearly that we are all living on borrowed time and will actively involve themselves in conservation programmes by making sure our forests are kept safe for future generations They will oppose activities which are harmful to animals, such as battery farming And they will campaign to keep the Green Belts around our towns and cities free from new building We cannot all be as committed as them, but we can at least our own little bit at grass roots level We, as humans, have inherited the earth, but that doesn’t mean we can whatever we like with it FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS: 3) Is the health of our environment good or poor nowadays? 4) How many causes and solutions to the problem are mentioned in the reading passage? What are they? 187 APPENDIX 4B3 The list of chunks explained by the teacher in the language focus stage Natural resources: something, such as a forest, a mineral deposit, or fresh water, that is found

foods (or GM foods) are foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering: thức ăn biến đổi gien Exhaust fumes: gases ejected from an engine as waste products: khí thải Greenhouse effects: the phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface: hiệu ứng nhà kính Greenhouse gases: a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons: khí nhà kính 189 Pump out toxic waste: to produce poisonous waste in large amounts: thải chất

less harmful impacts to the environment than comparable conventional internal combustion engine vehicles running ongasoline or diesel: phương tiện giao thông không gây hại cho môi trường Glacial melting: As glaciers and the giant ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica melt, they add more water into the ocean, which causes sea level to rise If temperatures keep rising, glaciers will continue
