Life in the city

Life in the city is full of activity. Early in the morning

hundreds of people rush out of their homes in the manner
ants do when their nest is broken. Soon the streets are full
of traffic. Shops and offices open, students flock to their
schools and the day's work begins. The city now throb with
activity, and it is full of noise. Hundreds of sight-seers,
tourists and others visit many places of interest in the city
while businessmen from various parts of the world arrive to
transact business.

Then towards evening, the offices and day schools begin to

close. Many of the shops too close. There is now a rush for
buses and other means of transport. Everyone seems to be
in a hurry to reach home. As a result of this rush, many
accidents occur. One who has not been to the city before
finds it hard to move about at this time. Soon, however,
there is almost no activity in several parts of the city. These
parts are usually the business centers.

With the coming of night, another kind of activity begins.

The streets are now full of colorful lights. The air is cooler
and life becomes more leisurely. People now seek
entertainment. Many visit the cinemas, parks and clubs,
while others remain indoors to watch television or listen to
the radio. Some visit friends and relatives and some spend
their time reading books and magazines. Those who are
interested in politics discuss the latest political
developments. At the same time, hundreds of crimes are
committed. Thieves and robbers who wait for the coming of
night become active, and misfortune descends upon many.
For the greed of a few, many are killed, and some live in
constant fear. To bring criminals to justice, the officers of
the law are always on the move.

Workers and others who seek advancement in their careers

attend educational institutions which are open till late in the
night. Hundreds of them sit for various examinations every
year. The facilities and opportunities that the people in the
city have to further their studies and increase their
knowledge of human affairs are indeed many. As a result,
the people of the city are usually better informed than those
of the village, where even a newspaper is sometimes difficult
to get.

The city could, therefore, be described as a place of

ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of life is enacted every
day.

I have studied in Hanoi city for one year. At the beginning, everything is not easy to me.
I have to live far away from home and face to many new things. I lived in dormitory with
another 12 friends. I thought it’s so difficult to live with many people like that. But,
through time we more understood each other and live as good friends. We’re students so
we have to shape our life in suitable schedule. In the early morning, we have breakfast
and flock to school on time. It takes a short time to go to school so we can walk on foot…
Study at school seems to be not enough for me so I attend education institution out of
school. To save money and time, I choose bus as a daily transportation. However, there
are some disadvantages. Especially, pickpocket usually occurs. Thieves wait for
passenger’s carelessness, and misfortune descends upon many. Despite of many
difficulties, I think living in the city brings me more advantages. The facilities and
opportunities in the city help me further my studies and increase my knowledge of human
affair.
 The most important day in my life

The most important day in my life was the day when my parents
decided to send me to school.

I was then about seven years old. I had been playing with the children
living around my house for some years. I had no thought of ever going
to school. I enjoyed playing to catch fish from the shallow streams
near by. Sometimes we went to the forest to catch birds and squirrels,
and I had always thought that life would continue to be the same for
me. But, one day, to my great sorrow, my parents suddenly
announced that I was no longer to play about and that I was to go to a
school.

Words can hardly describe how sad I felt at the thought of having to
go to a school. I had often heard that school teachers were very strict
and cruel. I had also been told that there were many difficult subjects
to learn in school and I could not bear the thought of being compelled
to learn them. But everything had been decided for me and I had no
choice but to go to school.

Soon after I was admitted to school, however, I discovered to my

great joy that learning in school was a pleasure. I began to learn about
the people and other wonderful things spread throughout the world.
The teachers were very kind and friendly and they often told many
interesting stories. The subjects that they taught were also very
interesting as a result of all this, I began to take a keen interest in my
lessons and I no longer wanted to waste my time playing about.

Today, I am older and I am in a secondary school, learning more and

more about the world around us. The knowledge that I have gained
has enriched my mind and I have a better understanding of human
problems. I am also able to speak the English language with some
ease, and I know that my knowledge of English will prove of great
value in all my future activities. I also know that if I can pass all my
examinations, I will some day occupy an important position in some
profession. I might even become a minister in the government of my
country or a well-known person in some way.

Therefore, when I now think of the day when my parents arrived at

the decision to send me to school, I am filled with love for them. That
was indeed the most important day in my life, a day which has
changed the whole course of my life.
New words:
1. ease (n): sự dễ dàng, sự thoái mái

My parents are both teachers so they always take care of my study first. I’m not an
excellent student with a large knowledge and intelligence. However, when I was a child,
I knew that learning play an important part in anybody’s life. I had to do many entrance
examinations and passed all of them  although they were not easy but I tried my best
and I was successful. The most difficult exam that I have ever passed was a university
entrance exam. When I studied the twelfth grade, I had trouble with mathematics. I got
many bad marks which made me very disappointed and depressed. Sometimes I thought,
I will never study at university and my dream will end. A month before an entrance
exam, my father who is a math teacher taught me so much. Soon after, I discovered to my
great enjoy that math is not too difficult and I really took a keen interest in my lesson. My
dream come true, I study at university now. I major in language which is my favorite
subject at high school. Now, I’m able to speak E with some ease. Living in a good
studied environment, the knowledge that I gained has enriched my mind everyday.
Graduate from university will prove of great value in my future job. May be I will
someday occupy an important position in profession. Having successful result as today,
I’d like to show deep thankfulness to my family. I’ll try my best to get better result in my
life  (viet linh tinh :P)

 The advantages and disadvantages of the
cinema

Cinemas are a common sight nowadays. They are found in every town.
The existence of so many cinemas reflects their popularity. They have
indeed become the most popular places of entertainment.

The cinema attracts large numbers of people everyday. It is the

magnet of the town. It sometimes attracts even those who do not wish
to see a film.

As it is so popular, the cinema exerts a profound influence on the

minds of many people, young and old. The influence is sometimes
good, and sometimes it is bad. Films showing criminal activities and
the sensual desires of man have caused much harm to many youths.
Some youths have become criminals themselves though almost every
film shows how the good always triumphs over the evil. The cinema
has also caused many people to waste money. Such people have
become so addicted to visiting the cinema that they see almost every
film, good or bad. In this way money is wasted not only on purchasing
tickets for admittance to the cinema but also on travelling and many
other things.

Often, however, the cinema helps to spread knowledge. There are

many films which show the activities of the various races of people
living in the remote regions of the earth. Some films show how man
has struggled through the centuries to make the world a better place
to live in. There are also films which show the events that led to some
of the important battles in the past. They are shown with so much
realism that one remembers them for a long time. Such films are
indeed invaluable, especially to those who are illiterate. In this respect
the cinema could be regarded as a school. Even the dullest student
learns many things if he sees an educational film in the cinema though
he may learn nothing from his teacher or his books. Such is the effect
of the film, and in many countries, educational authorities are trying to
make the best use of the cinema to spread knowledge and
information.

It is therefore clear that the cinema has many advantages as well as

disadvantages. Often the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Those who visit the cinema with the purpose of learning something
good are sure to benefit from almost every visit to the cinema.

NEW WORDS:

2. magnet (n): nam châm
3. profound (adj): sâu sắc, sâu rộng
4. sensual (adj): (thuộc) xác thịt, nhục dục
5. triumph (v): chiến thắng, thắng lợi

When i study in capital, I have chance to go to the cinema with my friend. i think it
brings me many advantages The best thing I get from film is studying E. because,
the large number of films that I saw were from America so I can practice my E skills
and study new words. On the other hand, I really feel comfortable and relax while
watch film at cinema. The facilities are all convenient: screen is large and lively,
loudspeakers are clear and the seats are nice and comfortable. Some people said:
“going to the cinema is waste of time and money” But I don’t think so :d I usually
watch film on weekend so it doesn’t have bad influence on my study. Besides, I’m
often treated by my friends, there for, it doesn’t waste money at all :P . The only
disadvantages is that I usually watch film at night. It sometimes makes me feel
unsafe. In sum, it is clear that cinema has advantages as well as disadvantages.
Certainly, the advantages outweigh disadvantages  I will try to study hardly and
earn much of money to purchase tickets for admittance to the cinema by myself….

 The value of higher education
Since the dawn of civilization, great thinkers like Plato and Aristotle
have been doing their utmost to spread education to the remotest
corners of the earth. It is realized that education develops the intellect
and enables one to discriminate between the good and the bad. More
and more universities and other education institutions are therefore
being opened in all parts of the world to provide higher education.

In almost every country today, there is a lot of unemployment. Only

those who have received a high standard of education are able to
secure high positions in society and in the various professions. It has
therefore become necessary for many people to attend institutions or
higher learning to improve their prospects of employment.

Higher education confers many other benefits. It broadens the mind

and increases one's powers of thinking, reasoning and imagination.
Further, it makes one more sympathetic towards others. It helps us to
understand the problems and weaknesses of man, and we become less
suspicious of strangers and others. We also become more thoughtful of
the feelings and needs of others. As a result, we are able to mix better
with people. Besides, higher education helps us greatly in deciding
what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is false.
Therefore, people can hardly deceive or mislead us. Higher education
also teaches us how to spend our leisure moments. We learn to make
the best use of our spare time. Even during old age we know how to
keep ourselves occupied. Again, higher education develops self-
confidence. We learn to have faith in our own abilities. As a result, we
are able to meet and talk with people anywhere. All these qualities,
acquired through higher education, combine to make one a leader
among men. One is able to live a better life in society.

The benefits of education are therefore many, and everyone should try
his best to acquire the highest of education, either by attendance at an
educational institution or by private studies.

NEW WORDS:
1 civilization (n): nền văn minh
2. discriminate (v): phân biệt
3. institution (n): cơ quan, tổ chức
4. suspicious (adj): nghi ngờ, tỏ ra có sự nghi ngờ
5. mislead (v): làm cho mê muội, làm cho lạc đường, lạc lối
6. self-confidence (n): sự tự tin, lòng tự tin
7. combine (v): phối hợp, kết hợp

Valentine's Day

Love is in the air!

Read the story

It's that time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending
cards, flowers and chocolates. But Valentine's Day is not only about public displays
of affection: in recent years it has also become big business. In the UK alone, more
than 20 million pounds is spent on flowers, whilst in the United States over 1 billion
dollars is forked out on chocolates.

Although Valentine's Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million
roses sold worldwide, the origins of the day are unclear and hidden in the mists of
time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although some historians
suggest he was a Roman martyred in the third century AD by a Roman Emperor. It
is said that the first recorded Valentine's card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of
Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he sought solace from his confinement by
writing love poems to his wife.

Valentine's Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the
world. However, the traditions often differ from place to place. In Japan, for
example, it is customary for the woman to send chocolates to the man, whilst in
Korea April 14th is known as 'Black Day' and is when the unfortunate men who
received nothing on Valentine's Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with
each other.

Technological developments have also played their part in keeping Valentine's Day
relevant in the 21st century. Valentine's e-cards have been all the rage in recent
years. However, internet security experts urge web users to be wary as malicious
hackers could use e-cards to spread viruses and spyware.

Valentine's cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes. Police in the UK
city of Liverpool sent Valentine's cards to criminals who failed to appear in court or
have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, 'Roses are red, violets are blue,
you've got a warrant and we'd love to see you'. Who says romance is dead?

- Forked out: forced to spend ( trao trả tiền, xì ra)

- To chase up a girl, his money is forked out on gift and flowers.

- Commiserate with: show sympathy for
- To pass the difficulty, they commiserate with each other.

- Internet is used all the rage in recent years.
- Wary: careful
- They were warned to be wary of e-cards.
- Malicious hackers.
