Chris Dancy loves technology. A few years ago, he noticed that he had very little information about his habits, health and lifestyle, and he wanted to lose some weight. So he bought some gadgets that could collect this information and help him understand himself better. Now he is connected to 700 sensors that record every detail of his life. He monitors what he eats and drinks, how long he sleeps, how much he spends, his mood... even the activity of his dogs! Few, if any, people collect as much data about themselves as Chris.

Most of his gadgets are attached to him. He wears gadgets on both arms, a heart rate monitor and a device that counts calories. He has a smartwatch too, which he can wear on either wrist. His house and car are also full of gadgets. Every one of them sends data to his computer, and at the end of each day Chris spends a little time analysing it. The smartwatch is the only gadget he wears all the time. He doesn't wear all of his gadgets 24/7, but he has so many systems that automatically track his activity that there aren't any days when there is no monitoring at all.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer the correct answer to each of the questions.

For many people the language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web"-Three English Words, was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to say: “If youwant to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do it: learn English.”

In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are rather easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact, a good knowledge of English is one  of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet. Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.

A Famous Festival in Vietnam

Cường Nguyễn, October 14

In Vietnam, people celebrate many different festivals each year. The biggest festival in Vietnam is Tết. This celebrates the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese people have to prepare a lot for this festival. Before Tết, people buy fruits and flowers from the market and decorate their houses. Most people buy a special tree with lots of flowers. In the north of Vietnam, people buy peach trees with pink flowers. In the south, people buy apricot trees with yellow flowers. Everyone cleans their house before Tết. This is very important because you shouldn't clean it during Tết. During Tết, people visit their family and friends. Few people go to school or work. Children wear new clothes and get lucky money. It's a great time to watch lion dances and fireworks. Everyone is happy and excited about the New Year. Vietnamese people love to celebrate this festival.
