(present) They may/ might/ could buy a new DVD recorder. (future) We use may not or might not for the negative. We don’t use could not *must, mustn’t, needn’t + V (bare – inf): *Must I go out now? Yes, you must / No, you needn’t * Practice:Complete the sentences. Use “must, mustn’t, needn’t” Teachers .wear suits for work, but their clothes must be neat and clean Students .use their mobile phones during the lessons You .arrive on time for lessons.

Phosphorus burns if you expose it to air If I wake up early, I go jogging NOTE: you can use "when" instead of "if" Conditional Sentence Type 1 Often called the "real" conditional because it is used for real or possible situations. These situations take place if a certain condition is met. It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled Form:If + S + V 1…., S + will/ shall + V (bareinf) Use Conditional Sentences Type 1 refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don't know for sure whether the condition actually will be fulfilled or not, but the conditions seems rather realistic – so we think it is likely to happen Example: If I have enough time, I'll watch the football match I may have time to watch the match but I'm not sure about it Conditional Sentence Type 2 Often called the "unreal" conditional because it is used for unreal impossible or improbable situations. This conditional provides an imaginary result for a given situation. It is very unlikely that the condition will be fulfilled Form: If + S + Past subjunctive, S + would/ could + V (bareinf)… *In conditional type 2, we usually use in the if clause "were" instead of "was" even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it. "were" here is a subjunctive form NOTE "was" is also a possible form Example: If I were a millionaire, I would buy a castle Use Conditional Sentences Type 2 refer to an action in the present that could happen if the present situation were different. I don't really expect the situation to change because it is very unlikely Example: If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world Conditional Sentence Type 3 It is impossible that the condition will be met because it refers to the past Form:If + S +had + V3…, S + would + have + V3… Use Conditional Sentences Type 3 refer to situations in the past. They express hypothetical results to past given situations Example: If he had been careful, he wouldn't have had that terrible accident Sometimes in the past, he was careless. He drove so fast. So he had a terrible accident * Things to remember The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma Examples: "Phosphorus burns if you expose it to air." " I will send her an invitation if I find her address." " I would travel around the world if I had a million dollars." "He wouldn't have had that terrible accident if he had been careful." Main clause and/or if clause might be negative. Example: If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.

It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896 Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 °C (59 °F). But Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radioactive forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbon) and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and 148% respectively since 1750. These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. Over the last three decades of the 20th century, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita and population growth were the main drivers of increases in greenhouse gas emissions CO2 emissions are continuing to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels and landuse change Consequences of global warming There are two major effects of global warming: the increase of temperature on the earth by about 3° to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit) by the year 2100 and Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100. Other consequences are listed below: Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing The total annual power of hurricanes has already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average duration have increased Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes Higher or lower agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions Diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have been extinguished earlier Comprehension: True or false? Climate is by definition variable Climate change observed in the last decades is natural Global warming is caused by industrialization Greenhouse effects have no impacts on our health V.B Read the following text on the benefits of fasting and do the comprehension questions Computers A computer is a programmable machine designed to automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations The first use of the word "computer" was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the word began to take on its more familiar meaning, a machine that carries out computations In the beginning, computers were as big as a large room. It is only later that they have become smaller and smaller, accessible to anyone This has given way to personal computers Later developers created new applications to help users perform many things from word processing to image editing. A large scale of programs, some free and others costly, have opened new horizons in information technology Now computers have noticeable impact on social relations. They have enabled entirely new forms of social interaction, activities, and organizing With the Internet, working with computers has become part of our daily lives thanks to its basic features such as widespread usability and access In addition to face to face communication that characterized humans for centuries, a new form of virtual communication has become more predominant Comprehension:True or false? The word computer is a new term Computers were accessible to anyone in the beginning All computer applications are free Computers and the Internet have shaped new social relations V.C Information Technology If you want a brief history of information technology, here is one. Humans were the first "computers". Then machines were invented to carry out the computational tasks. Now these machines have given way to new form of information technology. Information has become accessible from anywhere Information technology deals with the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronicsbased combination of computing and telecommunications Thanks to the continuous development of computers, the original computing systems became minicomputers and later personal computers took the lead. Nowadays, mobile phones are dethroning the personal computer and computing is evolving faster to become disembodied more like a cloud, becoming accessible more easily whenever needed. Information technology in this sense has transformed people and companies and has allowed digital technology to influence society and economy alike Comprehension: Information technology is changing principally because of: a the changing needs b new technological advances According to the author the first computers were: a calculators b humans Development of information technology is the result of: a advances in computing systems b development of machinery in general Computing systems are taking the form of clouds means: a computers have become smaller b computing power will be disembodied Answer the questions: What has technology influence to society? ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Are mobile phones dethroning the personal computers? ……………………………………………………………………………………………… What device do you think is the most important gadget in our life in the future? ……………………………………………………………………………………………… VI Find and correct the mistakes in the following sentences Mrs. Brown eats a few fruit for breakfast I have less books in English than my classmates We are going to have a twoweeks summer vacation in Hue next month My uncle is a architect and he works in HCM City Do American students have more vacations a year than Vietnamese one ?

The death of the cinema? _ In the 1940s thirty million people in Britain went to the cinema regularly. It wasn’t expensive. Ordinary working people could afford it and it was a treat for children. It was also the place to see the news. Hundreds of cinemas opened up all over Britain. _ By the 1960s more and more homes had televisions, and cinemas started to close. In the 1980s people watched videos. Then came satellite TV, the Internet and computer games. By the end of the twentieth century, fewer and fewer people went to the cinema. _ New technology like 3D means that cinemas can offer something most people can’t get at home. In 2007 the number of people going to the cinema started to go up again. When the 3D film Avatar came out in 2009, it broke records – millions of people went to see it at the cinema. _ Now there are huge multiplex cinemas showing ten different movies, there are drivein cinemas and openair screens in parks. Over 100 years after the first movie theatres in America opened, the cinema is still evolving. _ It is true that you can watch a film on the bus on your smartphone, on a screen that is smaller than your hand.

The big day A wedding is one of the biggest family celebrations. A traditional wedding in the UK is a formal event and there are lots of rules that go with it. First, there is the dress code. Traditionally, men must wear suits and ties. They needn’t wear hats, although at a very formal wedding the groom and his best man often wear top hats. Women wear dresses or suits and they must wear hats. You mustn’t wear white (only the bride wears white) or black (because it is too serious). There are other traditions too. The bride’s father makes a speech at the wedding. The bride’s mother and the groom’s parents needn’t make a speech, but the groom’s best friend (the best man) makes a speech too. Traditionally, the bride’s family pay for the wedding, but many modern couples now plan and pay for their special day themselves. The average wedding costs nearly £20,000, so many parents are happy about this change! Weddings are an old tradition and there are a lot of superstitions about the wedding day and the ceremony.
