When she was a student at the British School for Performing Arts and Technology, she recorded three songs for a class project. All these songs later were posted on MySpace.com and became very popular. As a result, she was offered a record deal from XL Recordings after her graduation.

In 2012, she wrote and recorded "Skyfall" for the James Bond film of the same name. The song sold more than two million copies worldwide and for it Adele won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Script:

Family values are the foundation for how children grow, are taught and supported. Traditional family values are usually passed on from one generation to the next, giving children the structure and boundaries to function and thrive. Family time, love, play and work give children this foundation. Take the time to share your family values and traditions with your children. Schedule family meetings together, share meals where the family gets together to talk about the day, schedule recreation and relaxation into your day-to-day life. The definition of family values is the social standards defined by the family and a history of traditions that provide the emotional and physical basis for raising a family. Work together within your family to identify and create your own family values.

II. READING

TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.

Family life has been changing across some Southeast Asian countries over the past few decades. Many years ago, most of teenagers lived with their families, spending several hours at school and the rest of time at home enjoying family atmosphere. Besides their studying, adolescents could do some housework like doing the dishes, cooking, taking care of younger children or supporting their family business. These days, studying takes up such a lot of time that they cannot help much with household chores and sometimes they even hardly have time to relax. This can lead to suffering worse health and losing the bond with their family. In families with higher income, parents are often so busy with their work that they send their children to private boarding schools, and the time these students share with families is shortened more and more. In many cases, high-schoolers meet their siblings and parents at weekends only. It’s believed that there are some advantages to live and study in academic places, but other benefits that schools are unlikely to provide should be taken into consideration. For example, these young learners can learn a lot from their parents about social skills and doing domestic chores. On one hand, some people think that teenage students prefer to have privacy than to be controlled by adults, which may be true. On the other hand, nothing can compare or replace the parents’ affection in terms of nurturing their children’s souls and their behaviours. Changes often bring positive results but how people consider what is important to maintain and preserve is worth thinking again.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The negative effect of living away from family.

B. Some changes in family life in Southeast Asian countries.

C. Teenagers love to live independently rather than rely on their parents.

D. Teenagers’ life today is much better than that of decades ago.

2. What does the word ‘this’ in line 10 mean?

A. The fact that students do not have time to relax.

B. The fact that students cannot help with family work.

C. The fact that students have to spend most of their time studying.

D. The fact that students do too much housework.

3. Long time ago young learners could help their parents with ___________.

A. family chores or parents’ business

B. family chores and earn money themselves

C. nothing because of their busy curricula

D. nothing because they were busy playing

4. What are the benefits of family education?

A. Children can learn about good conduct.

B. Children can learn about social skills.

C. Children can learn how to do business.

D. Children can learn about good conduct and social skills.

5. What is the most important thing in terms of raising a child?

A. Parents’ love

B. Parents’ control

C. Children’s privacy

D. Children’s independence

Nowadays, Cai Luong has no longer kept its heyday, (3) ___________ watching Cai Luong on YouTube is a common (4) ___________ for those who still keep the love for it.

Helen: Hello Mai, how was your weekend?

Mai: Fantastic! I spent my lovely weekend in Vung Tau with my schoolmates and classmates.

Helen: Oh, really. You all had a wonderful beach holiday?

Mai: Actually, it was not exactly a beach holiday. Our class had a project to carry out, namely ‘Plastic Waste Free’.

Helen: Sounds interesting. What was it exactly?

Mai: Well, we must collect the waste people left on the beach. Our responsibility was to clean an area of the beach where many people visited during high season. My principal said that the project aimed to reduce plastic waste, and give a better environment for marine creatures. And I think public engagement and awareness are also the main purposes of this type of project. There are often lots of students who are quite irresponsible when they drop litter after events, so the project will help them think about their duty to the environment.

Helen: I totally agree with you. Your class did a very good job picking up litter, didn’t you?

Mai: Of course. We collected dozens of rubbish such as plastic bags, disposable bottles, and other kinds of trash. It took us half a day to do, and we were divided into small groups. Our group finished in about three hours and then we supported the other groups. It was really good teamwork. We didn’t feel exhausted because it was lots of fun.

Hello everyone, today I’ll talk to you about some important roles of music in our life. You may listen to music on a daily basis, but do you know how it positively affects us? Well, let me tell you. Firstly, there is no doubt that music can make people feel relieved. It is said that when enjoying a favourite song we can reduce stress and lift our spirit up with its soft melody and ear-catching tune. Music can also help us relax when we are doing domestic chores like cleaning the floor, doing dishes, or tidying up the mess, etc. Secondly, music, especially the sound of classic instruments, can help us better concentrate on our work or study. Also, it is often thought that this kind of music can improve children’s development and health. Some mothers even let their children listen to Mozart and Beethoven’s music in their very first months. However, not everybody likes listening to music while doing some work because it can distract them. In this case, music turns out to be a problem…

TASK 2.

Sample writing:

My house is located in a busy and noisy street where there are some pressing environmental problems that need addressing. First, there is often lots of rubbish in the street. Many mindless inhabitants do not have the habit of dropping litter in the right place or clearing up dog poops after walking the dogs, which makes the street dirty and unhygienic. Therefore, in my opinion, fining those people heavily would be a better way to tackle this issue. Second, there is a lack of green space here. It’s essential for us to build a nearby park with lots of trees and flowers for children and old people to play and relax. Finally, the local authorities should limit the cars moving on the street here because day by day we are suffering from the deafening sounds and toxic exhaust fumes causing negative effects on our health. In short, these environmental problems can be dealt with effectively with the contribution of both the government and every single individual.
