(Làm việc theo nhóm. Dự đoán nào trong phần 1 có khả năng trở thành sự thật với thành phố bạn đang sống, hoặc một thành phố ở VN mà bạn biết rõ nhất? Viết một số dự đoán về thành phố đó vào năm 2050.)

Gợi ý:

We now live in a small town in Bac Giang. We all think that in 2050, our small town will grow into a small city. More and more people from the nearby villages will come and settle down here. There will be more entertainment centres and better facilities. Several factories will be built in the area, so more jobs will be created for local people. But things will become more expensive, especially oil and electricity. Also, the environment may have to suffer. Air and water will be polluted due to the smoke from factory chimneys and not properly treated drainage system. It is important that the government and local authorities work closely to support sustainable development.

(Đọc văn bản về đô thị hóa ở Bangkok. Trả lời các câu hỏi phía dưới.)

As the capital city of Thailand for over 200 years, Bangkok has an important role to play. Its growth is the world's window on the growth of Thailand. Its urbanisation rate has increased gradually over the past 50 years, bringing apparent and wide-ranging benefits to the country. These include economic, social and cultural ones. In terms of economic benefits, the national income statistics have shown that Bangkok and the surrounding areas usually generate more than 50% of the gross domestic product. Regarding the social benefits, Bangkok's inhabitants have access to better services and facilities compared to any other area of the country. Moreover, as a national centre of art and culture, Bangkok provides many opportunities and facilities for leisure and sport activities, and entertainment.

However, urbanisation has also resulted in massive problems. For example, thousands of migrants live in the modern slums surrounded by poverty, crime and drugs, and with no hope of getting a job. Traffic congestion is another big problem in the city whose road system is unable to cope with the increased number of cars.The traffic congestion combined with the large concentration of factories has severely affected the air and water quality. Despite the problems, Bangkok still continues to attract more and more migrants every year. The problems of traffic congestion, pollution and urban slums will continue to grow worse if the government does not take any measures to reduce the negative effects of urbanisation.
