The Ok Om Bok Festival

Traditionally, the Khmers use the festival to thank the Moon God for giving them a good harvest. It also marks the end of the year of the Khmer calendar. Ok Om Bok occurs in mid-October according to the lunar calendar. When the moon is at its highest position, the monks and the elders offer young rice and fruits to the Moon God. Then, they take some young rice to feed children and ask them about their wishes. People sing and dance in the moonlight. Visitors can participate in games, watch traditional fashion shows and see flying lantern contests. The next day, villagers organise the Ngo Boat Race. This is a boat race that attracts many tourists. Here is some advice to tourists at the Ok Om Bok Festival. They should not wear shorts or sleeveless shirts when attending the religious ceremony.

Lễ hội Ok Om Bok
...Hãy về Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long và tham gia Lễ hội Ok Om Bok của người Khmer. Nó còn được gọi là Lễ hội cúng trăng. Theo truyền thống, người Khmer dùng lễ hội này để tạ ơn Thần Mặt trăng đã ban cho họ một vụ mùa bội thu. Nó cũng đánh dấu thời điểm kết thúc một năm theo lịch Khmer. Ok Om Bok diễn ra vào giữa tháng 10 theo âm lịch. Khi mặt trăng ở vị trí cao nhất, các thầy cúng và các bô lão dâng cốm và hoa quả lên Thần Mặt trăng. Sau đó, họ lấy một ít cốm cho trẻ em ăn và hỏi các em về ước muốn của mình. Mọi người ca hát và nhảy múa dưới ánh trăng. Du khách có thể tham gia các trò chơi, xem trình diễn trang phục truyền thống và xem các cuộc thi thả đèn trời. Ngày hôm sau, dân làng tổ chức Đua ghe Ngo.

Bài nghe:
Air pollution in big cities comes from several sources. The fuels from vehicles are the main cause of pollution in our cities. The problem starts when vehicles give out bad gases, which create air pollution. These gases can be very dangerous for children. Although fuels are becoming cleaner, air quality is still affected as there are more and more cars and motorbikes on the road.
Transport is not the only reason why we have air pollution. Factories also release bad gases into the air and it causes a lot of air pollution. Less pollution today comes from coal than in the past. However air pollution remains a serious problem around the world because bad gases are being released into the air from other sources, such as cooking, household wastes, and fires.

Ô nhiễm không khí ở các thành phố lớn đến từ nhiều nguồn. Nhiên liệu từ các phương tiện giao thông là nguyên nhân chính gây ô nhiễm ở các thành phố của chúng ta. Vấn đề bắt đầu khi các phương tiện thải ra khí độc gây ô nhiễm không khí. Những khí này có thể rất nguy hiểm cho trẻ em. Mặc dù nhiên liệu đang trở nên sạch hơn nhưng chất lượng không khí vẫn bị ảnh hưởng do ngày càng có nhiều ô tô và xe máy lưu thông trên đường.
Giao thông vận tải không phải là lý do duy nhất khiến chúng ta bị ô nhiễm không khí. Các nhà máy cũng giải phóng khí độc vào đồng air và nó gây ra ô nhiễm không khí nghiêm trọng. Ngày nay đã có ít sự ô nhiễ đến từ than đá hơn so với trước đây. Tuy nhiên, ô nhiễm không khí vẫn là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng trên toàn thế giới vì các khí độc hại đang được thải ra không khí từ các nguồn khác nữa, chẳng hạn như nấu ăn, rác thải sinh hoạt và hỏa hoạn.

VIII. Read the following passage about tornadoes and choose the best answer.
Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more than a hundred years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone is one that needs to be connected by a wire to a network of other telephones. Because of the wires, people could not take those telephones with them when they left their homes or offices.
What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had to find a pay phone. Pay phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay phones are on the street. You can make a call from inside a glass or metal space called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins into a slot in the phone to make a call.
Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell phones. Cell phones do not need to be connected with wires. They can be used almost anywhere and can fit in an adult's hand.
Many cell phones sold today are smart phones. A smart phone is a cell phone that has lots of computer-style features. For example, people use smart phones to check e-mail and go on the Internet. And all that can be done using something small enough to carry in a pocket!

Thủy phi cơ là một loại phương tiện độc đáo có khả năng di chuyển trên mọi loại địa hình, đất, nước, bùn hoặc băng. Nó có động cơ đặc biệt thổi không khí bên dưới xe. Áp suất của không khí này cao hơn áp suất trong khí quyển và sự khác biệt về áp suất sẽ nâng thủy phi cơ lên trên bề mặt để nó có thể di chuyển qua các chướng ngại vật nhỏ khá dễ dàng, khiến nó trở thành một trong những phương tiện thân thiện với môi trường nhất trên thế giới. Thủy phi cơ được thiết kế lần đầu tiên ở Anh vào những năm 1950. Ngày nay, những phương tiện này được sử dụng trên toàn thế giới. Chúng đặc biệt được sử dụng trong các thảm họa, bởi vì chúng có thể đến những nơi mà thuyền hoặc máy bay trực thăng không thể tới được. Các nhà sản xuất đã tạo ra thủy phi cơ với nhiều kích cỡ khác nhau. Các mẫu xe nhỏ hơn dễ lái và các nhà thiết kế của chúng luôn quan tâm đến sự an toàn.
