Nội dung bài nghe:

Host:  Welcome to our talk show 'Green Living'. Today, we will hear from two secondary students, David and Mai, who will talk about the Go Green initiative at their school in Cam Ranh. David, can you tell us how you came up with the idea?

David: Well, in our science and environmental studies classes, we realised that the way we live can strongly affect our environment. Since we are all passionate about environmental issues, we decided that we should do something to help our school to go green and save our planet.

Host: So what have you done so far, Mai?

Mai: Two months ago, we launched our 'ten-minute a day' mini-project. It involves sparing ten minutes in our break time for specific green activities. We wanted to start with something small and involve as many students as possible.

Host: Great! What exactly are these activities?

David: On Mondays, during the 'green ten minutes' students bring old and broken electronics like second-hand mobile phones and MP3 players for recycling. At the end of the month, we intend to take the items to one of the electronic recycling centres in the city. We have also started an organic vegetable garden, so on Tuesdays, students can spend ten minutes working there, planting seeds, watering them and making sure they grow into healthy plants. We hope we can pick and eat our own vegetables. This will teach students that organically grown vegetables are tastier and healthier since no chemicals or pesticides go into their bodies. There will be no soil pollution caused by chemical fertilisers.

Mai: On Wednesdays, we invite local environmental groups to have booths at school so students can go and talk to them during the 'Green ten minute', and ask any questions. Then on Thursdays, we check for any mould growth on the classroom furniture, especially during hot and humid weather.

Host: How about Fridays?

David: We thought the last day of the week would be a good time for a quiz to test our environmental knowledge and increase our green awareness. So each time a class prepares five quiz questions for other students t answer during the 'green ten minutes'. And we give out prizes for the best answers.

Host: Sounds fun! Thank you, Mai and David, for sharing your environmental ideas with our listeners. We hope that your mini-project will inspire more people to change their lifestyle and go green.

2.  (Trang 34 - Tiếng anh 12): Read the following article about soot pollution. Choose the appropriate heading (a-d) for each paragraph. 

(Đọc bài viết sau về ô nhiễm bụi than. Chọn tiêu đề thích hợp (a-d) cho mỗi đoạn.) 

a.  Soot and global warming

b.  The effect of soot on human health

c.  The origin of soot

 

d.  Ways to reduce soot emissions 

Nowadays we know a lot about the link between carbon dioxide (C02) emissions and global warming. However, we seem to be unaware of one very dangerous pollutant, soot also called black carbon.

1.________

Soot comes from the incomplete combustion or coal, oil, wood and other fuels. In other words diesel 

engines, vehicle exhaust pipes, farming machines, construction equipment, or simply fires in grills, fireplaces, and stoves are potential sources of soot. It appears in our daily life and can easily affect every one of us.

2._______

Soot like all black things absorbs sunlight and heats up the atmosphere. According to recent research, it is the second most damaging greenhouse gas after C02, and twice as harmful to the climate. Although black carbon remains in the atmosphere for no more than seven days it is particularly damaging to frozen areas. Soot emissions might be responsible for the quick melting of the Arctic. Controlling black carbon can help to slow down global warming.

3._______

Soot does not only have an impact on globs warming and climate change, but is also unhealthy. A soot particle is very tiny - smaller than dust and mould, and about 1/30 the width of a human hair. It can easily go into our bloodstream and lungs via the nose and throat.  As a result, breathing in the tiny particles car cause asthma attacks, heart disease, bronchitis and many other respiratory illnesses.

4._______

Large quantities of man-made soot enter the atmosphere every year. The effects are most damaging regionally, especially in South and East Asia, Latin America and parts of Africa. In developing countries, reducing soot emissions can be achieved by replacing traditional stoves with clean, alternative fuel cookers and heaters. Installation of filters to remove black carbon from diesel vehicles can also reduce soot. Changing to electric or hydrogen vehicles will also reduce the impact on the environment.

In conclusion, reducing black carbon will have immediate benefits in slowing down global warming and the melting of the Arctic snow and ice. It would also prevent many soot-related deaths and illnesses.

2. (Trang 27 - Tiếng anh 12): Read the text about urbanisation in Bangkok. Answer the questions that follow.

(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.

Nội dung bài nghe:

Hello, everyone. Last week, we talked about the cause of urbanisation. Today, I'll discuss its advantages and disadvantages.

Urbanisation can bring about a lot of benefits. It can offer people from rural areas not only opportunities for better-paid jobs, but also access to schools, hospitals and other social services. As a result, people's overall standard of living can improve.

People in rural areas tend to be more conservative and follow old-fashioned practices like child marriage and gender discrimination. The process of urbanisation can actually change their mindset and help them to accept more progressive ideas.

However, there are also some obvious disadvantages. High rates of urbanisation can contribute to more crime in big cities. Although many people benefit, not all get the opportunity of a good and stable job. Unemployed, people are more likely to engage in robbery, kidnapping, murder and other illegal activities. Another problem caused by urbanisation is the shortage of affordable housing in big cities, which can result in growth of slums with no sanitation or drinking water. In addition, urbanisation leads to the shift of the working population from agriculture to industries. Labour shortages in rural areas are likely to result in a decrease in agricultural and food production as well.

To sum up urbanisation can bring social and health benefits; however, it also has its own drawbacks. I've only discussed some of them. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to raise them and I'll try my best to answer them.

2. (Trang 23 - Tiếng anh 12): Read the text and check your predictions in 1.

(Đọc văn bản để kiểm tra những dự đoán trong phần 1.)

Urbanisation is the process by which urban areas grow bigger as more and more people leave the countryside to live in towns and cities.

Before the 1950s, urbanisation mainly occurred in more economically developed countries (MEDCs). Rapid urbanisation happened during the period of industrialisation in Europe and North America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A lot of people left their home villages for urban areas hoping to find jobs in the rapidly expanding industries in big towns and cities. Since 1950s urbanisation has become slower in most MEDCs. Now, some of the biggest cities are losing population because people go back to live in rural areas. This is known as counter-urbanisation.

Since 1950, urbanisation has grown rapidly in LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries) in Africa and South America. Between 1950 and 1990 while the urban population in LEDCs doubled, increase was less than half in developed countries.

There are various causes of urbanisation in LEDCs. Here are some major ones. First, people migrate to urban areas on a massive scale due to lack of resources in rural areas. Second, small farmers find it h to make a living not just because of bad we conditions such as drought, floods, or storms, because they can't compete with large agricultural companies. These are considered ‘push’ factors.People living in rural areas are also ‘pulled’ to cities, which are known to be places of financial centres, services, wealth and opportunities. Believing that standard of living in urban areas will be higher in rural areas, many people come to the city seeking their fortune.Today, about half of the world's population in urban areas. Urbanisation has provided opportunities, higher incomes and better access to health facilities and education. The urban population will continue to grow and it is expected that proportion will increase to 70% by 2050.
