Circle T or F. In the past few decades, the countryside has experienced lots of changes. Because of population growth, more products are needed. Therefore, more factories have been constructed, and young people have more choice of jobs apart from becoming farmers. When big cities have become more and more polluted, the fresher atmosphere in the countryside attracts more people. Rich people who live in the city for their work often buy a second home in the countryside to spend their weekend and holiday. As a result, the countryside is no longer a small community of rural people. In fact, in many parts of the countryside, there are urban people from nearby cities. Additionally, the introduction of the internet creates more opportunities for increasing rural people's knowledge. Many farmers have used machines for tasks that used to be done by hand, which helps them save labour. In the near future, it is expected that the countryside will gradually

Match the words in A with their meanings in B. A recent survey conducted by TIRA, a Vietnamese research company, highlights problems about the lifestyles of Vietnamese teenagers in urban areas. There is an imbalance in their consumption of time for studying and recreational activities. On average, these teenagers spend 9.5 hours a day on studies at school and at home. They only have about four hours for entertainment. Most of this time is spent on watching television and the internet, where they chat through social networks. The teenagers admit that they use computers to play games and to chat with friends much more than using it for studying purposes. The survey also shows that during summer months, despite having much more free time than during school years, these teenagers still fail to manage their time properly. They stay in bed longer, and then get hooked on games and TV. The time for computers and TV increases significantly to about five or six hours a day, while there is almost no time for physical outdoor activities.

They get hooked on mobiles, laptops, and televisions. They enjoy surfing webs to find information and making friends with other teens all around the world. They prefer sitting in front of the computer playing games to participating in outdoor activities. Because teenagers spend much time living in the virtual world, sometimes they forget the reality. They may become lazy and forget about time. A lot of teenagers do not complete their homework and fail important examinations. Others may feel very tired because they play computer games for too long. As a result, they feel sleepy during class time and can’t concentrate on their lessons. Lots of parents are trying to find ways to reduce their children’s interest in technology. Some parents only allow their children to use computers for under one hour a day. Others take their children to sport clubs such as football, swimming so that the teenagers will become healthier. (Dừng) Now listen again. (phát lại bài nghe) (Dừng) II. READING 1.
