I can still learn

Most children between five and eighteen in Britain must go to school. But the situation is different for me. I play tennis and I must practise a lot, and I often go to other countries to play in tournaments. How can I still learn? Luckily, digital learning helps me.

When I am absent from school, I do online courses. Computers help me with the subjects, and I can learn at my own speed. When there is no tournament, I come back to school and I can do the tests easily. My friends also help me if I have any problems.

This new learning way makes me happy and keeps me up with my friends. I can still learn when I am not at school. That is why digital learning becomes more and more popular.

* keep up with: to do whatever is necessary to stay level or equal with someone or something

6. Read the text and check your answer to exercise 5. What other jobs do you think might disappear in the future?

(Đọc đoạn văn bên dưới và kiểm tra câu trả lời của bạn trong bài 5. Những công việc nào bạn nghỉ sẽ biến mất trong tương lai?)

A hundred years ago, every lift had an operator who stopped the lift at the different floors, and opened and closed the doors. That job no longer exists because lifts are now automatic. Which jobs that people do today will disappear because of technology? Most people book their holidays online. If this trend continues, travel agents will probably become unnecessary. Self-service check-outs at supermarkets are becoming very common, and so are automated toll booths on motorways. Many people now read the news online. If newspapers disappear entirely, we won't need newsagents. And what will happen if everyone learns online instead of in a classroom? Teachers might disappear!

3. Read the Reading Strategy. Then look at the underlined words in the sentences after the gaps in the text. What kind of connection do they imply: contrast, similarity, cause / result, or a different option?

(Đọc Chiến lược Đọc hiểu. Sau đó, nhìn vào các từ được gạch chân trong các câu sau các chỗ trống trong bài đọc. Chúng cho thấy cách nối câu nào: tương phản, tương đương, nguyên nhân / kết quả hoặc một lựa chọn khác?)

Reading Strategy(Chiến thuật Đọc hiểu)

When you do a task with gapped sentence, study the sentence after each gap and look for any connections with the missing sentence. For example, if it begins with but, there is a contrast. Other words suggest other types of connection:

(Khi bạn làm một bài tập điền câu vào chỗ trống, nghiên cứu các cậu sau mỗi chỗ trỗng và tìm kiếm sự liên kết với câu còn trống. Ví dụ, nếu nó bắt đầu bằng but, thì chỗ đó là một sự tương phản. Những từ khác gợi ý những loại liên kết khác:)

+ similarity (sự tương đương): so

+ cause/ result (nguyên nhân/ kết quả): so

+ a different option (một ý kiến khác): or

Look at the pictures and match them with the ideas below Look at the title of the text. Which of the ideas of future cities do you think are mentioned in the text?

- Sky cities will be built with solar-run buildings.

- Internet will control every human activity.

- People will work in mobile offices.

- Underground trips will become safer and faster than ever.

Go Autonomous - GO GREEN

Since the birth of the car in 1886, transport in big cities has changed a lot. And it is no wonder that many experts think that there will be extraordinary changes in the next few decades.

As technology develops, highways, skylines, subways will be all transformed. Smarter sroadways and highways in cities outfitted with loT sensors will process all kinds of data in real time and alert users of the best transport options. Weather, crashes, traffic conditions will be communicated to users and smart stops will be found everywhere providing renewable energy, green hydrogen or even greener energy, ensuring efficiency and safety on every highway. Tunnels will also be a smart choice 10 because of the reduction of traffic congestion. Underground roads will be built in 3D with a lift system which will take vehicles deep underground and will allow traffic to attain the greatest speed without intersections.

There will also be innovations in the sky. Air taxis are not a new idea, but in the future they will be completely environment-friendly. Aviation gasoline will be no longer used. Green energy will be in place and cost-effective air taxis will enable people to travel from one busy urban city to another in record time.

New technologies such as Al and the rollout of 5G will pave the way for fully autonomous innovation. Cars will not be the only thing to go autonomous. Freight trucks, cargo vehicles, air taxis will all benefit from this technology and that is why 20 the term 'driver' will become extinct.

Transport will go green. Electric or hydrogen power will be mainstream. There will still be issues to solve such as safety, speed and cost, and of course governments will need to make new traffic laws.

Work in pairs. Ask your partner about his / her future house. Use the suggested questions.

1. What type of future house do you think it will be?

2. Where will it be?

3. What will it look like?

4. How many rooms will it have?

5. What appliances will it have and what will they help you to do?

Example:

A: What type of future housedo you think it will be?

B: It'll be a palace.
