Work in pairs. What can you do to become more independent while studying abroad? Give your reasons.
Example: I think I’ll become more independent by learning to cook for myself. It’s very expensive and unhealthy to eat out frequently. Besides, the food in the country where I’ll be studying may not suit me, so it’d be nice if I could prepare dishes from my own country.

Work in groups. Discuss the following questions. Then report your group’s answers to the class.
Do you believe that there is life on other planets? Why / Why not?
Tham khảo
I believe we’ll soon find life right here in our own solar system. Mars once had a warm, Earth-like climate, with a protective atmosphere and liquid water on the surface. Microbes from these early days might still survive on Mars in today’s harsh conditions by inhabiting hot springs or in warm aquifers and rocks below the surface, where there is energy, water, and probably organic material - the conditions for life as we know it.

Work in groups. Think of a form of cultural heritage (such as a tradition, a festival, or a form of music), and discuss ways to preserve it. Report your group’s ideas to the whole class.
Our cultural heritage is a traditional craft that has been passed down from generation to generation in our community. To preserve it, we can organize workshops to teach the craft to younger generations. We can also hold exhibitions and fairs to showcase the craft to a wider audience and sell products made by local artisans. Another idea is to create a digital platform that connects artisans with customers and promotes their work.
Overall, we believe that it's important to involve younger generations in the preservation of cultural heritage and find ways to promote it to a wider audience. By doing so, we can ensure that our traditions and customs continue to thrive and evolve over time.

Di sản văn hóa của chúng tôi là một nghề thủ công truyền thống đã được truyền từ thế hệ này sang thế hệ khác trong cộng đồng của chúng ta. Để bảo tồn nó, chúng ta có thể tổ chức các hội thảo để truyền dạy nghề cho thế hệ trẻ. Chúng ta cũng có thể tổ chức các cuộc triển lãm và hội chợ để giới thiệu nghề thủ công này cho mọi người đối tượng rộng hơn và bán các sản phẩm được làm bởi các nghệ nhân địa phương.Một ý tưởng khác là tạo ra một nền tảng kỹ thuật số kết nối các nghệ nhân với khách hàng và quảng bá công việc của họ.
Nhìn chung, chúng tôi tin rằng điều quan trọng là thu hút các thế hệ trẻ tham gia bảo tồn di sản văn hóa và tìm cách quảng bá di sản đó tới nhiều đối tượng hơn. Bằng cách đó, chúng tôi có thể đảm bảo rằng các truyền thống và phong tục của chúng tôi tiếp tục phát triển và phát triển theo thời gian.

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.
