UNIT 2 RELATIONSHIPS

Vicky: Welcome to our talk show with guest speaker Dr Dawson, a psychologist. Who will be talking about how teenagers and their parents deal with problems. Dr Dawson, most are worried about their children getting involved in romantic relationships. What's your opinion on this?

Dr Dawson: From 15 to 19 years of age, many teenagers spend a lot of time thinking or talking about being in a relationship.

Vicky: So do you mean this is part of the teen normal growth and development?

Dr Dawson: Yes. young people learn how to form sale and healthy relationships with friends, parents, teachers and romantic partners. This can prepare them for adult life. So parents should not oppose their relationships.

Vicky: I suppose many parents will feel surprised to hear this. What's your advice for the teenagers then?

Dr Dawson: Well, they should not be afraid to talk to their parents about their feelings and friendships. This can help them feel confident to discuss their relationships in the future.

Vicky: So you mean teenagers should listen to their parents and ask them to listen to what they are saying?

Dr Dawson: Exactly. Most parents are always willing to lend an ear to what their children are saying. This is even more important when young people suffer break-ups or broken hearts. They need a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear.

COMMUNICATION & CULTURE

Well, there are many advantages of having online friends. First, they can be anywhere in the world, so I can learn about different cultures and lifestyles. Distance does not matter, as all I need is a computer. Second, I can contact them whenever I wish - as long as they are online, and I can the conversation easily when I have other things to do. What's more. I can save a lot of money as there'll be no dinners, parties or get-togethers. I don't have to spend money on things like food and drinks or cinema tickets. Most importantly, I can quickly end a relationship when I don't feel comfortable with the person any more.

REVIEW 1

During the teenage years, it is at times difficult for parents to talk to their children.! Teenagers often seem to hate being questioned. They seem unwilling to talk about their work at school. This is a normal psychological development at this age. Although it can be hard for parents to understand, it is part of becoming independent. Teenagers are trying to be adults while they are still growing up. Young people often dislike talking if they realise that parents are trying to check up on them. Parents should find ways to talkl to their teenage children about school, work and future plans, but should not push them tol talk if they don't want to Parents should also watch for danger signs. For example, some teenagers in trying to bo adults may experiment with alcohol, drugs or smoking.  It is necessary for parents to watch for any signs of different behaviour, which may be connected with these dangers and offer help if necessary

UNIT 6 GLOBAL WARMING

Hi, everybody. In my talk today, I'll discusss global warming, and its causes and effects on our lives. I hope you can all understand that it’s everyone's duty to help reduce global warming right now.You all know that global warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth due to the increase of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and water vapour. Climate scientists now believe that humans are mainly responsible for this. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. and the cutting down of large areas of forests have contributed to the emission of a large amount of harmful gases into the atmosphere in recent years. The thick layer of these gases traps more heat from the sun, which leads to the increase in the earth's temperature.Global warming results in climate change and catastrophic weather patterns such as heat waves, Hoods, droughts and storms, which can affect human lives. Hundreds of millions of people may suffer from famine, water shortages, and extreme weather conditions if we do not reduce the rate of global warming. This could also result in a 20-30% loss of animal and plant species.Being well-informed about the effects of global warming is the first important step towards solving this problem. You'll be more willing to change your lifestyle if you understand the impact of global warming. Moreover, you'll be able to inform others and inspire change

UNIT 7 FURTHER EDUCATION

Good morning everyone. My name is David. I come from Canada and I have been doine an undergraduate course in Viet Nam for two years. Today I'd like to share with you my study-abroad experience.Well, my experience in Viet Nam has been great so far. My classes take place at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Hanoi.I'm taking courses in Vietnamese history and economic development. The faculty staff are very friendly and helpful, and the programme coordinator is very organized, knowledgeable and thorough. He is always available for any emergencies, making sure that I have everything I need.I live with a host family and have my own room, which is comfortable and clean, and has Internet.When I first arrived, I was completely over the moon with everything, but then I realise that I was experiencing a culture shock. Luckily, I had the support of my host family. Since I came, I've been included in all family gatherings and outings. I also took an intensive Vietnamese language course and at the end of the first year, I was able to freely communicate with my host family in Vietnamese. This also helped me integrate with the local culture. Viet Nam is quite a safe country although the roads are a bit dangerous. I was really worried when I used a friend's motorbike to get around the city.Things are not expensive here so I can easily live on a student's budget. I usually eat breakfast and dinner with my host family, and lunch with my Vietnamese fellow students. Vietnamese food is very healthy and delicious, and I have my favourite dishes. I'll miss my host mum's cooking very much when I go back home!I think this programme of study has been worthwhile. I'll return home as a much stronger, confident and culturally sensitive person

UNIT 8

Welcome to Radio 3 Nature Programme. Today. I'll talk about Phong Nha- Ke Bans National Park, one of the eight world heritage sites in Viet Nam. It is located in central ofQuang Binh Province, about 500 km south of Ha Noi. the capital of Viet Nam. Thanks to its complex geological structure with different kinds of stone, Phong Nha - Bang can be compared to a huge geological museum. Phong Nha- Ke Bang mountair can provide a lot of valuable information about the Earth's geological developing through various periods. One geological characteristic to notice here is the system underground rivers, grottos and caves in the limestone mountains.The park is in an area with a high average rainfall; however, few rivers and streams can be seen here because the water is absorbed inside the limestone mountains. As a resiL tens of millions of years, water has been eroding the rocks, creating numerous grottos aril] caves. Phong Nha- Ke Bang is famous for its caves such as Phong Nha, Tien Son and Thien Duong Caves. Son Doong Cave is considered to be the largest one in the worid with 200 metres in height, 200 metres in width, and at least 8.5 kilometres in length.Because of its geological value, Phong Nha- Ke Bang was recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003. I strongly recommend that you find time to visit Phong Nha- Ke Bang Park. It'd be worthwhile exploring its caves and grottos, and seeing the diversity of its flora and fauna. If you enjoy mountain climbing, there

are some steep mountains over 1,000 metres high, which can be a real challenge for adventurous climbers.Thank you for joining me today! And don't forget to tune in tomorrow at the same time
