Listen and repeat. Pay attention to the intonation. Practise saying the questions in pairs.

1. Should we focus our campaign on a general social issue  or one affecting mainly teens ?

2. Is the top problem facing teens today peer pressure , body shaming, or bullying ?

Mark the intonation in these questions, using  (rising intonation) or  (falling intonation). Listen and check. Then practise saying them.

1. Should we report bullying to teachers or speak to our parents first?

2. Is this social awareness campaign about poverty or crime?

3. Have you ever experienced any physical, verbal, or social bullying?

4. Do you worry about peer pressure, body shaming, or bullying?

Ms Hoa: Good morning, everyone. As part of our school cultural programme, we need to plan a field trip to a heritage site in Viet Nam. So, where would you like to go?

Petter: Do you have any suggestions for us, Ms Hoa?

Ms Hoa: I'd recommend Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. It’s the only place in Southeast Asia to be recognised as a mixed heritage site by UNESCO.

Peter: What's a mixed heritage site?

Ms Hoa: It's a site that has both natural and cultural importance. For example, you can go on a boat trip there to enjoy the beautiful landscape. Or you can visit the old temples and monuments to learn about Vietnamese history.

Anna: That sounds interesting, but if we want to learn about cultural values of the past, where should we go?

Ms Hoa: You can go to Hoi An Ancient Town in central Viet Nam. You'll learn about urban lifestyles and traditions from the 15th to the 19th century and will see examples of ancient architecture. All buildings are kept in their original state. It’s a great place to explore.

Anna: Wow! That's exciting. What about southern Vietnam?

Ms Hoa: You can go to the Mekong River Delta to enjoy don ca tai tu - a form of traditional folk singing. Local artists perform don ca tai tu everywhere - at parties, in fruit gardens, even on the floating market boats.

Peter: It’s a great way to promote this kind of cultural heritage of southern Viet Nam.

Ms Hoa: Indeed. Now, please discuss in your group and let me know your field trip ideas.

We had our English exam today. It was a disaster! We all sat there nervously, waiting for Mrs Jennings to say we could start. Finally, she told us to turn our exam papers..................... Then she read.........................the instructions to make sure we all understood. We had to write three essays in two hours! We weren't allowed to look.........................any words in the dictionary, and we had to write in pen. That meant we couldn't rub anything.....................if we made a mistake. We had to cross it...........................neatly or just rip........................the whole piece of paper and start again. So, I read through the three question very carefully and thought about what I was going to write. I'd just written my name..................at the top of the first piece of paper, and was about to start writing the first essay, when Mrs Jennings pointed........................that there were only five minutes left. Oh dear!

Teacher: It’s great to see you again, class! What's going on?

Minh: We've decided to use Facebook for our class forum, and we joined some school club activities. We're also preparing for the midterm tests. It’s really stressful.

Teacher: I'm sorry to hear that. I know exams may give you a lot of stress. But stay calm and work hard. What other pressure do you have?

Minh: Well, we also have pressure from our parents and friends.

Teacher: Do you? Let's discuss these problems in your new Facebook group. By the way, why did you choose Facebook?

Ann: Because it’s user-friendly.

Teacher: Good! How about club activities? Do you find them enjoyable?

Ann: Yes. This year there are some new clubs like arts and crafts, and music. The club leaders will provide us with a variety of activities to suit different interests. And there will also be competitions as usual.

Teacher: Awesome! I hope you all can join the clubs you like.
