1. I will refuse to join them in making jokes about the classmate because being short is not his/ her mistake. Because it is not good to make fun of a person’s height. I will ask them to put themselves into my classmate’s shoes so that they can understand his/ her feelings.
2. I will tell my friend that this is a talent show not a beauty show. She can completely win the show if she really has talents. I will advise my friend not to judge a book by its cover.
3. I won’t accept the invitation and chat in person with my friend to ask him to delete the post because it is a completely bad idea to make jokes about their weight. I will ask him/ her to imagine how she/he feel when he/she is also be abuse like that.
Work in groups. Discuss what kind of students / learners each option will be more suitable for. Give reasons for your decision. Report to the whole class.
Option 1: Vocational Training
Suitable for: Students who prefer hands-on learning and practical application of skills. Vocational training is more focused on job-specific skills and can provide opportunities for immediate employment. This option is also suitable for students who are looking for shorter duration of study and want to save on the cost of education.
Option 2: Academic Study
Suitable for: Students who are interested in a broad range of subjects and want to develop critical thinking and research skills. Academic study provides a wider range of career paths and opportunities for pursuing advanced degrees. It also promotes personal and intellectual growth and helps build a strong foundation for future learning.
Ultimately, the choice between vocational training and academic study depends on the individual student's interests, goals, and learning preferences. Some students may find vocational training more suitable for their career goals, while others may prefer the broader education and research opportunities offered by academic study.

1a. Which of the activities in the photos looks most fun?
(Hoạt động nào trong các bức ảnh trông thú vị nhất?)
I think the activity in the photo which looks most fun is going hiking. This is because while we go hiking over a long distance with our team, we can have some small talks and share everything together on the way.
(Tôi nghĩ rằng hoạt động trong ảnh trông thú vị nhất là đi bộ đường dài. Điều này là do trong khi chúng tôi đi bộ đường dài với nhóm của mình, chúng tôi có thể có một số cuộc trò chuyện nhỏ và chia sẻ mọi thứ cùng nhau trên đường đi.)
1b. Which of the activities in the photos looks most challenging?
(Hoạt động nào trong các bức ảnh có vẻ khó khăn nhất?)
In my opinion, the most challenging activity is climbing because I am extremely afraid of heights.
(Theo tôi, hoạt động thử thách nhất là leo núi vì tôi cực kỳ sợ độ cao.)
1c. Which of the activities in the photos looks most dangerous?
(Hoạt động nào trong các bức ảnh trông nguy hiểm nhất?)
Karting is the most dangerous activity. I have never seen this activity before; however, I can see the runners wearing a lot of protective clothes, so I think it's dangerous.
(Karting là hoạt động nguy hiểm nhất. Tôi chưa bao giờ thấy hoạt động này trước đây; tuy nhiên, tôi có thể thấy những người chạy bộ mặc rất nhiều quần áo bảo hộ, vì vậy tôi nghĩ điều đó rất nguy hiểm.)
2. Have you ever tried any of the adventure activities in exercise 1? If so, did you enjoy them? If not, would you like to try them?
(Bạn đã bao giờ thử bất kỳ hoạt động mạo hiểm nào trong bài tập 1 chưa? Nếu vậy, bạn có thích chúng không? Nếu chưa, bạn có muốn thử chúng không?)
I have never tried any of the adventure activities in exercise 1. Actually, I am not a brave person, so I usually avoid these activities.

The best way to deal with body shaming is earning to be confident:
(Cách tốt nhất để đối phó với sự xấu hổ về cơ thể là kiếm tiền để tự tin)
Developing confidence can be an effective way to deal with body shaming. It can help you build resilience against negative comments and enable you to accept and love yourself regardless of what others say. However, building confidence is not always easy, and it can be a process that takes time and effort.
(Phát triển sự tự tin có thể là một cách hiệu quả để đối phó với sự xấu hổ về cơ thể. Nó có thể giúp bạn xây dựng khả năng phục hồi trước những bình luận tiêu cực và cho phép bạn chấp nhận và yêu thương bản thân bất kể người khác nói gì. Tuy nhiên, xây dựng sự tự tin không phải lúc nào cũng dễ dàng và đó có thể là một quá trình cần có thời gian và công sức.)

Work in groups. Your class is on a field trip to a national park. Read the situations below and think of some possible responses. Provide reasons for each answer.
1. Some of your classmates want to collect some rare insects/flowers for their collection.
Example: "You shouldn't do that for several reasons. First, rare plant and animal species are endangered. Second, if people start killing or collecting them, they will soon disappear. Finally, this will harm local biodiversity and have a serious effect on the balance of the local ecosystem.
2. Some classmates have brought some snacks and want to feed the wild animals in the park.
3. You see some classmates throwing rubbish, such as plastic bottles, paper, and cans, on the grass and in the water.
4. Some classmates want to collect wood to build a fire in the park.
2. Response: "Feeding wild animals in the park is not a good idea because it can disrupt their natural diet and behavior. It can also make them dependent on human food, which can lead to health problems and aggressive behavior. Additionally, it can attract more animals to the area than the ecosystem can support, causing overcrowding and competition for resources."
(Phản hồi: "Cho động vật hoang dã ăn trong công viên không phải là một ý kiến hay vì nó có thể phá vỡ chế độ ăn uống và hành vi tự nhiên của chúng. Nó cũng có thể khiến chúng phụ thuộc vào thức ăn của con người, điều này có thể dẫn đến các vấn đề sức khỏe và hành vi hung dữ. Ngoài ra, nó có thể thu hút nhiều hơn động vật đến khu vực nhiều hơn hệ sinh thái có thể hỗ trợ, gây ra tình trạng quá tải và cạnh tranh tài nguyên.")
3. Response: "Throwing rubbish in the park is harmful to the environment and the wildlife. It can pollute the water and soil, harm the local plants and animals, and ruin the natural beauty of the park. It is important to dispose of the waste properly by using designated bins or taking it with us when we leave the park."
(Trả lời: "Vứt rác trong công viên có hại cho môi trường và động vật hoang dã. Nó có thể gây ô nhiễm nước và đất, gây hại cho thực vật và động vật địa phương, đồng thời hủy hoại vẻ đẹp tự nhiên của công viên. Điều quan trọng là phải vứt rác đúng cách bằng cách sử dụng các thùng được chỉ định hoặc mang theo khi chúng ta rời công viên.")
4. Response: "Collecting wood to build a fire is not allowed in the park because it can damage the local ecosystem and the wildlife habitat. It can also cause a fire hazard and threaten the safety of everyone in the park. We should respect the park rules and use designated fire pits if available or bring our own portable stove for cooking."
(Phản hồi: "Việc thu thập gỗ để đốt lửa không được phép trong công viên vì nó có thể làm hỏng hệ sinh thái địa phương và môi trường sống của động vật hoang dã. Nó cũng có thể gây ra nguy cơ hỏa hoạn và đe dọa sự an toàn của mọi người trong công viên. Chúng ta nên tôn trọng các quy tắc của công viên và sử dụng hố lửa được chỉ định nếu có hoặc mang theo bếp di động của riêng chúng tôi để nấu ăn.")
Work in groups. Discuss the skills and experience SSEAYP participants should have. Rank them in order of importance (1 - most important to 6 - least important). Report to the whole class.
In my opinion, the skills and experience SSEAYP participants should have, ranked in order of importance, are:
1. Good English language skills
2. Understanding different cultures
3. Teamwork skills
4. Community work experience
5. Confident speaking skills
6. Understanding current issues in ASEAN countries.
Having good English language skills is essential since it's the working language of the program. Understanding different cultures is also important for effective communication. Teamwork skills are necessary for completing tasks and solving problems. Community work experience can be helpful in developing practical skills. Confident speaking skills are important for presenting ideas in front of an audience. Understanding current issues in ASEAN countries is important, but it is the least important skill or experience since the program focuses on cultural exchange and developing skills for the future.
