Work in pairs. You want to start a competition on making environment-friendly products at your school. Think of three reasons why it would be a good idea. Then compare your ideas with the class.
SPEAKING Work in pairs. Discuss these questions and report your ideas to the class.
1 Do you think it is necessary for pesticides to be banned? Why?
2 Do you agree with the views Rachel Carson expressed in Silent Spring? Why?/Why not?
3 Would you like to be an ecologist? Why? / Why not? If so, what would you most concern yourself about?
1 Do you think it is necessary for pesticides to be banned? Why?
(Theo bạn có cần cấm thuốc xịt cỏ không? Tại sao?)
Yes, I do. Pesticides are harmful to not only the insects they're meant to kill but also to other animals, plants, and humans who consume them. They also have long-term effects on the environment, which is why I think a ban on pesticides is necessary.
(Tôi đồng ý. Thuốc trừ sâu không chỉ gây hại cho côn trùng mà chúng định giết mà còn cho các động vật, thực vật khác và con người tiêu thụ chúng. Chúng cũng có những tác động lâu dài đối với môi trường, đó là lý do tại sao tôi nghĩ rằng lệnh cấm thuốc trừ sâu là cần thiết.)
2 Do you agree with the views Rachel Carson expressed in Silent Spring? Why? /Why not?
(Bạn có đồng ý với quan điểm mà Rachel Carson thể hiện trong Silent Spring không? Tại sao có / tại sao không?)
Yes, Silent Spring is still relevant today. It brought about positive changes in the government's policies, leading to the enactment of a national ban on pesticides on agricultural farming. It also sparked the environmental movement, resulting in the establishment of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
(Vâng, Silent Spring vẫn còn phù hợp cho đến ngày nay. Nó mang lại những thay đổi tích cực trong chính sách của chính phủ, dẫn đến việc ban hành lệnh cấm toàn quốc về thuốc trừ sâu trong canh tác nông nghiệp. Nó cũng châm ngòi cho phong trào môi trường, dẫn đến việc thành lập Cơ quan Bảo vệ Môi trường Hoa Kỳ.)
3 Would you like to be an ecologist? Why? / Why not? If so, what would you most concern yourself about?
(Bạn có muốn trở thành một nhà sinh thái học? Tại sao có? / Tại sao không? Nếu vậy, bạn sẽ quan tâm đến điều gì nhất?)
I would love to be an ecologist because I'm passionate about protecting the environment and all the living organisms on this planet. I think it's essential to understand how ecosystems work and how humans can impact them positively or negatively. If I were an ecologist, I would focus on finding ways to reduce pollution and combat climate change. I would also study the effects of human activities on different ecosystems, such as deforestation and habitat destruction, and finding ways to mitigate these impacts.
(Tôi rất thích trở thành một nhà sinh thái học vì tôi đam mê bảo vệ môi trường và tất cả các sinh vật sống trên hành tinh này. Tôi nghĩ điều cần thiết là phải hiểu hệ sinh thái hoạt động như thế nào và con người có thể tác động tích cực hay tiêu cực đến chúng như thế nào. Nếu tôi là một nhà sinh thái học, tôi sẽ tập trung vào việc tìm cách giảm ô nhiễm và chống biến đổi khí hậu. Tôi cũng sẽ nghiên cứu tác động của các hoạt động của con người đối với các hệ sinh thái khác nhau, chẳng hạn như phá rừng và hủy hoại môi trường sống, đồng thời tìm cách giảm thiểu những tác động này.)
SPEAKING Work in pairs. Decide which of these topics is most likely to cause arguments in your family and why. Are there any others you can think of? Compare your ideas with the class.
Doing chores
Staying out late
Sharing a family computer
Too much time spent on social media and games
What to eat
- In my opinion, too much time spent on social media and games is the most likely to cause arguments in the family. For example, I have one younger brother, he is 14 years old, and he really likes playing on his smartphone. He can spend all of his free time using smartphone for entertainment and games. As a result, he ignores his studying and my mom and my dad have to force him to study a lot but he doesn't like it. This makes my parents angry and unsatisfied. They always shout at my brother, and he is becoming more and more aggressive. Therefore, my family always has an argument about this problem.
(Theo tôi, dành quá nhiều thời gian cho mạng xã hội và chơi game là nguyên nhân dễ gây ra cãi vã nhất trong gia đình. Ví dụ tôi có một em trai, em ấy 14 tuổi và em ấy rất thích chơi điện thoại thông minh. Anh ấy có thể dành toàn bộ thời gian rảnh của mình để sử dụng điện thoại thông minh để giải trí và chơi game. Kết quả là nó chểnh mảng học hành, bố mẹ phải ép nó học rất nhiều nhưng nó không chịu. Điều này khiến bố mẹ tôi tức giận và không hài lòng. Họ luôn quát mắng anh trai tôi và anh ấy ngày càng trở nên hung hăng hơn. Vì vậy, gia đình tôi luôn xảy ra tranh cãi về vấn đề này.)
- Some topics that cause arguments in families that I can think of are: what to see on TV, where to hang out, what kind of household appliance to buy, how to use money…
(Một số chủ đề hay gây tranh cãi trong gia đình mà tôi có thể nghĩ ra như: xem gì trên TV, đi chơi ở đâu, mua đồ gia dụng gì, sử dụng tiền như thế nào…)
USE IT! Work in pairs. Which of the ideas in the article do you think will happen in the future? Compare your ideas.
A: I doubt we can live until 150 years old.
B: I believe that people in the future won't be like us now, they may be many times smarter and healthier than us.
A: I think in the future, people can move to live on other planets like Mars.
Work in pairs. Prepare to do the task in exercise 3.

- Make notes about:
a. why you want to do the activities you have chosen.
b. why you do not want to do the activities your partner has chosen.

My partner’s three activities: hiking, hang-gliding, mountain biking
(Ba hoạt động của đối tác của tôi: đi bộ đường dài, đi tàu lượn, đạp xe leo núi)
