II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Global warming is said to be a culprit of many destructive natural damages. Many research shows that glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland are melting quickly, which has a detrimental influence on ocean currents. Cold lands are habitats of various polar mammals; therefore, ice melting means that their homeland is shrinking in size, and they will be on the brink of extinction. Furthermore, scientists point out that the global rising temperature results in the death of many coral reefs in many regions and the disappearance of various kinds of fish. It is not to mention the fact that human life has also been threatened. Most meteorologists and marine experts agree that the change of average heat worldwide links to the extensive storms and hurricanes, and other naturally severe disasters happening around the planet. Recently, a devastating tornado has badly torn a coastal state in the USA, killing at least 70 people and destroying a lot of houses and infrastructure. The town mayor said that he had never seen such a violently tremendous natural phenomenon before. Many European countries have also witnessed the rage of Mother Nature when they have been hit by ferocious storms taking months to recover the local people’s normal life. No one will know exactly the future, but the worst scenario of the earth can be predictable for sure if humans continue treating the environment as they are doing. Global warming is an emergency issue that should be resolved immediately.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Disastrous results of global warming.
B.How bad humans are treating the earth.
C.The deadly storms and tornadoes occurred in many countries.
D.The reason why glaciers are melting.
2. What does the word ‘they’ in line 5 mean?
A.Glaciers
B.Cold lands
C. The polar mammals
D.The habitats of the polar mammals
3. According to the text, what natural disaster has happened?
A.A hurricane in the USA
B.Storms of different types in some European countries and the USA
C.Some droughts and hurricanes in the USA and European countries
D.A flood and a storm in the USA and European countries
4. According to the text, where has suffered badly in a destructive tornado lately?
A.A mountainous area in a European country
B.A coastal state in Canada
C.A central state in the USA
D.A seaside state in the USA
5. Without timely actions, the worst future of humans’ life can be ________.
A.solved immediately
B.seen by no one
C.certainly forecast
D.surely avoided

Minh: Hello Daisy, how are you preparing for the oral test next Thursday? I don’t have many ideas about how to reduce our negative impact on the surrounding environment…
Daisy:Well. There are a wide range of ways we can do to protect our environment. You can search the information on the Internet, newspapers or YouTube channels.
Minh: Oh, thank you very much. In fact, I was absent from my last class because of my illness. It took some time to recover, so I couldn’t catch all the lessons last week.
Daisy:So sorry to hear that. It’s just Saturday, you still have four days. Plus, it’s not very difficult. According to the lessons, one way we can do is to avoid using products with plastic packages as much as possible because we all know that plastic items need a very long time to be gotten rid of – hundreds of years although some people think it’s just several years.
Minh: Wow, it’s unbelievable. So how about other ways?
Daisy:If you find it hard to demonstrate the idea, another choice is to talk about minimizing air pollution by using public transportation instead of private cars and motorbikes.
Minh: Sounds interesting. But I think it would be easier for me to have a look at how we can decrease the amount of plastic bags we consume every day. I can utilize my family’s real experience as an example. I think my teacher will appreciate that. I’ll use your suggestions for the writing test, which is four weeks from now, as I need more time to collect the information about it.

2. damaging |

4. buses |
5. recycled |
Good morning, everyone. As you may know, recycling materials is seen as one way to reduce the amount of garbage dumped into the environment. Today, I will show you another solution which is very useful, and easily done by yourselves. It’s “salvaging materials”. Let me give you more explanations. Normally, we use more energy to recycle something to turn it into new products. For example, to recycle metal, we have to melt it down and then make it into new shapes, which means we need lots of fuels or energy. However, with the salvaging method, we can reuse materials with fewer energy resources and minimise the damaging impact on our environment. For instance, we can reuse the old car tires as new swings for children, or we even turn old buses into new comfortable and eco-friendly homes by modifying them and adding more decorations made from recycled car parts inside and outside. Simple, isn’t it? Can anyone give me some other examples? ...

3. If we had enough money, we would go on an eco-friendly field trip to Phong Nha Cave.
4. I suggest we should buy some traditional products to help local artisans.
5. Liam has watched a documentary about the drawbacks of deforestation so far.
TASK 2
Sample writing:
Nowadays, an increasing number of endangered animals have been on the verge of extinction, so we should take serious measures against major threats to these species. First, the government should impose a total ban on illegal hunting and trading in valuable wild animal parts, and heighten public awareness of stopping purchasing wild animal products. Second, deforestation for farming and building industrial parks is attributed to the widespread loss of natural habitats of many wild animals. Therefore, we should stop cutting down forests and set up more nature reserves and conservation parks to better protect these animals on the red list. Finally, we can join the ecotours in which a part of money is donated to wildlife organisations to help preserve endangered species from mass disappearance. To summarise, with the above practical protection measures, we can hope that current wild animals in danger will never die out.

II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
There are many reasons for reducing the forest areas, and this causes many complicated problems for any nation without any exception. Due to the population explosion, many governments need more land for residents to live and develop the economy. They also clear forests to build dams for generating electricity or to develop resorts and recreational complexes. Besides, a huge number of trees are logged illegally to trade wood. All of these lead to serious issues as forests always have an important role in the ecosystem balance. It is undoubted that when a forest area is destroyed, the following results affect the other neighbor regions. The first negative effect of the loss of forest lands is flooding. Forests help to prevent erosion and flooding and without them, the downstream areas tend to be inundated frequently in rainy and hurricane seasons. Another problem is global warming. Forests are often considered as the lungs of the earth because they absorb the carbon dioxide and release the oxygen. This helps to refresh the atmosphere and lower the rate of the carbon dioxide in the air. If not, the average temperature will be higher and higher since the emission of the gas into the atmosphere increases every day. Consequently, the price we would pay for the flooding or for the increase of greenhouse gases is not only the damaged and polluted environment but also our deteriorated health and lives. To save ourselves, it is advisable to join hands in protecting and growing more and more forests.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A.Some reasons of deforestation and its impacts on people’s lives
B.Why floods happen frequently
C.Human’s responsibility for protecting forests
D.The rate of carbon dioxide has been rising
2. What does the word ‘this’ in line 18 refer to?
A.The fact that forests are considered the lungs of the Earth
B.The release of the oxygen
C.The circulation of exchanging carbon dioxide and oxygen of trees
D.The absorption of carbon dioxide from forests
3. According to the reading, which of the following is NOT the reason for cutting down trees?
A.Lack of shelters for local people
B.Developing the local or national production and trade
C.Illegal logging
D.Lack of land for agriculture
4. What is one of the negative impacts of clearing forests?
A.The increase of heat
B.Severe environmental disasters
C.Poor economic development
D.The loss of animals’ habitats
5. According to the reading, what is the solution to deal with this environmental problem?
A.Raising people’s awareness
B.Fining illegal loggers heavily
C.Boosting reforestation
D.Planting more coffee and rubber trees

Hello everyone, welcome to the Evening news podcast today. We start with the news of the wildlife environment. There is a threat to the red-shanked doucs. According to experts, the primate is native to Indochinese countries, but these days we can only observe them in Son Tra peninsula located in the Center of Viet Nam. This kind of rare wild animal is listed among the most endangered animals over the world. Recently, it faces the loss of its natural habitat because of local people's behaviors like cutting down trees to build houses and farms. Dangerously, a few doucs were found dead in the edge of the forest last week, which puts their survival at the very alarming situation. There are some conservation efforts from the volunteer groups dedicated to preventing the animals from harmfulness and raising people’s awareness of protecting the vulnerable wild animals. Nevertheless, the local authority also needs to immediately carry out more actions to secure the long-term survival of the wild mammals in the peninsula as well.
