Questions 21-25:
All right. Today's lecture ts about heat. Actually, we will talk about
the ways heat moves. This is called heat transfer. Now there are three
pes of heat wansfer. They are called [slowly] convection...
conduction... and... radiation. OK? OK! Convection happens when
heat moves through gases and liquids. When air or water heat up,
they get lighter. Then they move away from the heat. They rise. When
they get cooler, they change direction. They come back down to the
‘heat again. In convection, this repeats aver and over. For example, a
hot-air balloon. Fire heats the air. The hot air becomes lighter The
balloon rises up. But, as the air cools, it gets heavier. So, the balloon
176 goes down. Convection is how hot-air balloons fly. Now, next is
conduction. This happens when heat moves through solids. First, a
‘solid object is put on heat. Eventually the solid object takes this heat
and it gets hot. Some materials are very good at conduction. Metals,
_for example. This is why many cooking pans are made of metal. They
‘heat ip quickly But don't ouch them. Ouch! Conduction causes many
buoms. Finally, heat also moves by radiation. If you can feel heat from
lan object without touching it then itis radiating heat, Remember you
can’t see this heat, The sun, a toaster, a dyer. All these things use
radiation. Have you ever warmed your harsds by a fire? Even this is
radiation. OK? Do we understand?
Questions 26-30;
OK. So, Impressionism was a new way of painting. It went against old
art standards. It changed what was seen as good art. Before it, art
‘was considered good if it was exact. Artists tried to reproduce what
they saw on the canvas. They aimed to make the painting look just Tite
what they could see. Impressionist painters were different. The first
thing you will notice in an Impressionist painting is the use of color.
‘These artists didn't mix colors. They put two colors side by side, They
Jnew the eyes would blend the colors for them. The purpose was 10
create bright and bold colors. Movement was also important. Painters
often worked oudoors. This was not normal at the time, Mast painters
hhad someone pose for them inside. But the Impressionist went outside
First, they wanted to capture life as it was happening: Their subjects
‘were doing something. They were not posing. Blurred lines shawed
movement. They paid attention to lighting. Working outside allowed
artists 10 ise natural light. This is alvays changing. The change
‘comes through in the painting. Different times of year are represented
swith the change in seasons. Impressionist Art changed art. It broke the
rules. Many people did not like it for this reason. Ifyou ask me, that's
what makes itso great. And over time, many people agreed.
Questions 31-35:
We The book Watership Down... let's talk about it today. It has sold
‘more than 50 million copies. This book's themes are people and
politics. This book looks at low people treat each other and criticizes
‘governments. It uses a story about rabbits. A group of rabbits leave
home to find a new place to live. They can't remain in their old home
because it's going to be destroyed. So, they escape. After awhile, the
7 group finds a safe new home, But, hey start fighting with other rabbit
towns nearby. The rabbits in these towns are very different, And
because of this, no one geis om This shows how people in real life
can't accept each other's differences. One group of rabbits is called
Efrafa. The leader is an adult mate rabbi. He controls his town, He
tells everyone what to do. No child, teenager, ar adult has freedom to
learn or experience anything there. The other group of rabbits is the
Taarn Warren. Ieis aso very bad. Things are 100 easy there. Growing
up in a place like that means you learn very tale. Some people think
‘hat the two rabbit towns are like different kinds of governments in the
world, And that no government is perfect.
M: Oh, Isee! Having a really easy life is bad for you. This is like, uh,
the Thar Warren. The rabbits don't have to work to find food there.
And Efrafa isa place where there is no real freedom So itis bad too,
Ws Yes, exactly. Watership Down may seem like a simple stor) about
‘rabbis. But it asks real questions about how we live. This is why iis
s0 popular.

Task 2:
‘Over the last few years, many cities throughout the country have seen
‘an alarming increase in the levels of youth crime. This has become a
‘question that not only the authorities but also parents are concemed
about. In this essay, I would like to analyze some reasons for this and
suggest some possible solutions.
The causes of this issue lies in the way the youth are brought up by
their parents and the increasing level of poverty in cities. The first
reason is connected with the family. In order for a child to grow up in
aa balanced way, itis very important that he or she must be nurtured by
his or he parents with love, care, andl support, However, these days, it
is often the case that children are neglected due to the fact thet many
parents in cities now are too busy with their work to give their
19 children good advice and support in time. Another factor to consider
is the increasing levels of poverty around the world, We have seen
‘with globalization the rich get far richer and the poor get much poorer,
an this inevitably means that those who were unfortunately born into
a poor family and are reluctant to work hard, but want to live in
comfort tum to robbing and stealing. Reality shows that they even
are to kil others to grab what they desire.
To solve the problem, we should take several measures on the part of
Families as well as society. First, parents must spend more time with
ther children to control what they do and how they behave so as to
offer them timely guidance and prevent them from making 2 mistake
and then committing a crime. Second, those who commit a crime must
bbe severely punished; for example, a teenage murderer can be
sentenced to death. It is also essential that the authorities send young
criminals to a rehabilitation center, where they have a chance to lear
how to behave well and get some vocational training so that they can
find a job to support themseives later.
In conclusion, several faetors have led to a dramatic increase in youth
crime at present, but feasible solutions are available to tackle this
problem. I'm convinced that taking the above-mentioned measures
‘can help to reduce the level of youth crime substantially in big cities
of Viet Nam.
