Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized societies,
the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a father, a mother and their children.
But nuclear families exist together with many other types of family units. In the single-parent family, for
example, a mother or a father heads the family alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed
parent remarries. As divorce rates have risen, the number of single-parent and blended families has increased.
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the same
roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including grandparents,
parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins.

E11: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Building positive family relationships
The ordinary, everyday things that families do together can help build strong relationships with teenagers.
Regular family meals are a great chance for everyone to chat about their day, or about interesting things that are
going on or coming up. If parents encourage everyone to have a say, no one will feel they’re being put on the
spot to talk. Also, many families find that meals are more enjoyable when the TV isn’t turned on!
We should all take turns choosing outdoor activities for our families. A relaxing holiday or weekend away
together as a family can also build togetherness.
One-on-one time with the child gives the parents the chance to stay connected and enjoy each other’s
company. It can also be a chance to share thoughts and feelings.
Parents should celebrate the child’s accomplishments, share his disappointments, and show interest in his
hobbies. Sometimes it’s just a matter of showing up to watch the child play sport or music, or giving him a lift
to extracurricular activities.
Family traditions, routines and rituals can help parents and their children set aside regular dates and special
times. For example, we might have a movie night together, a favourite meal or cooking session on a particular
night, a family games afternoon or an evening walk together.
Agreed household responsibilities give kids of all ages the sense that they’re making an important
contribution to family life. These could be things like chores, shopping or helping older or younger members of
the family.

III-READING:
E7: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over
the past decade. They've wasted tons of food, they've underpaid their suppliers and they've contributed to
excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.
But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer
backlash against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK
supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge
to reuse, recycle or compost all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some
responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment with one major
supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2023.
In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus.
However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets' total food surplus, so
this hardly seems to be solving the problem. Some say that supermarkets are simply not doing enough. Most
supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more
transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus
food.
Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener,
more environmentally friendly option. Shops like Berlin's Original Unverpakt and London's Bulk Market are
23
 plastic- tree shops that have opened in recent years, encouraging customers to use their own containers or
compostable bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food
surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars,
offering farmers the lion's share of the retail price.
There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps
the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more
sustainable future for us all.

E8: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is
changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their
goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the
movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce
environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative,
non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the
sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no they cost and with no pollution.
24
 Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use
noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel
needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in
winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally
responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the
need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact.
75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent
and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green
building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The
site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These
houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families
built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire
neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in
new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are
beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and
working conditions and also save money in the long run.
(Adapted from "Advanced Reading Power" by Beatrice S. Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries)

B. GRAMMAR:
I. PAST SIMPLE AND PAST CONTINUOS (ÔN LẠI QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN VÀ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN):
1. Past simple (thì quá khứ đơn):
a. Công thức:
Thể khẳng định S + V2/ed
Thể phủ định S + + did not (=didn’t) + V0
Thể nghi vấn (Wh) + did(not) + S + V0…?
b. Cách sử dụng:
- Diễn tả hành động đã xảy ra và kết thúc tại một thời gian xác định trong quá khứ.
- Một số dấu hiệu nhận biết của thì quá khứ đơn:
yesterday, at that moment, last week, … years ago, in + (khoảng thời gian trong quá khứ), in the
past, once upon a time, …

45
 2. Past continuous (thì quá khứ tiếp diễn):
a. Công thức:
Thể khẳng định S + was / were + V-ing
Thể phủ định S + was not (=wasn’t) / were not (=weren’t) + V-ing
Thể nghi vấn (Wh) + was / were (not) + S + V-ing?
b. Cách sử dụng:
- Diễn tả hành động đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm xác định cụ thể trong quá khứ.
- Một số dấu hiệu nhận biết của thì quá khứ tiếp diễn:
at + giờ / at this time yesterday/…., all yesterday morning, all yesterday afternoon,…

II. PAST SIMPLE AND PAST CONTINUOUS WITH “WHEN” AND “WHILE” (THÌ QUÁ KHỨ
ĐƠN VÀ THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN VỚI TỪ “WHEN” VÀ “WHILE”):
- Ta dùng “while” hoặc “when” để nói về mối liên hệ giữa 2 hành động trong quá khứ.
* Dùng “when” cho hành động đang xảy ra trong quá khứ thì bị một hành động khác chen ngang vào:

When + S + Ved/2 , S + was/were + V-ing

When + S + was/were + V-ing , S + Ved/2
Ví dụ:
1. I WAS WATCHING TV when he PHONED me. (tôi đang xem TV thì anh ấy điện thoại cho tôi)
→ Hành động điện thoại (PHONED) chen ngang vào hành động đang xem TV (WAS WATCHING).
2. When we WERE PLAYING football, the bell RANG. (khi chúng tôi đang chơi bóng đá thì cái chuông reo lên)
→ Hành động reo (RANG) của chuông chen ngang vào hành động đang chơi bóng (WERE PLAYING)
* Dùng “while” cho những hành động đang xảy ra song song, đồng thời trong quá khứ:

While + S + was/were + Ving, S + was/were + Ving

Ví dụ:
1. While Ellen WAS READING, Tim WAS WATCHING television. (trong khi Ellen đang đọc sách thì Tim
đang xem TV)
→ Hai hành động đọc sách (WAS READING) và xem TV (WAS WATCHING) xảy ra song song và đồng thời
với nhau trong quá khứ

46
2. While we WERE GOING to the park, it STARTED to rain. (trong khi chúng tôi đang đi đến công viên thì trời
bắt đầu mưa).
→ Hai hành động đi đến (WERE GOING) và bắt đầu (STARTED) đang xảy ra đồng thời với nhau trong quá khứ
nhưng vế sau dùng quá khư đơn vì ta không thể chia tiếp diễn cho 1 số động từ như “start, begin, …”
*LƯU Ý: khi dùng “while” hoặc “when” để nói về mối liên hệ giữa 2 hành động trong quá khứ. Ta có thể dùng
“when” cho cả 2 thì “Quá khứ đơn” và “Quá khứ tiếp diễn” nhưng chỉ dùng “while” cho thì “Quá khứ tiếp diễn”.

E9: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use
water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a
litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This
impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the
perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no
explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have
also vanished. An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was
arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove
disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental
catastrophes being caused by pollution.

A. addition B. alternative C. imitation D. solution
