is concerned only with his own interests and feeling can not be a true friend. Changeable and uncertain people are incapable of true friendship because they take up interest with enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it, and they feel the attraction of some new object. The third quality for true friendship is loyalty. It tells us / me that the two friends must be loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them. There must be a mutual trust between friends because if not, people cannot feel safe when telling the other their intimate secrets. Talkative people cant keep a friend long because they cannot keep a secret, either or their own or of the others. The last quality for true friendship is sympathy. It tells us / me that to be a true friend you must sympathize with your friend. Where there is no mutual sympathy between friends, there is no true friendship.

EXTRA EXERCISE: Read the text and answer the questions that follow. My roommate It was my first day at the university. Armed with bags of luggage, I walked slowly into the dormitory. I looked at door after door for my name. At last I found it. In the room, there was already a girl making her bed. Smiling shyly, she said how do you do to me. After that, she continued her work, paying no more attention to me. What a stuck-up fellow I thought. Then I began to examine the room. There was no difference in the fitting from any other room I had seen. But it had been thoroughly cleaned by my new roommate, no doubt. Minutes later, I started to examine her. She was thin, short and dark. Her hair was in a completely disastrous mess like a bunch of straw. Her dirty clothes and tired look were clearly signs of a long journey. Well, her T-shirt was too big for her and her trousers were a bit short, which made her look funny. Whats more, she wore a pair of rubber scandals, which were indeed out of fashion. In a word, she didnt look like a smart freshman at all. A yokel, I concluded. The second time she spoke, her accent told me that she was from the south. Shall I help you to get your luggage from the ground floor? I didnt refuse since I really needed help. Wow...She was quick in action. Before I said Thanks, she had already walked out of the room and was soon far ahead of me. A good guy, I said to myself, I will make friends with her. I hurried and caught up with her. 1. What was the girls roommate doing when she first saw her? 2. Why did the girl think that her roommate had had a long journey? 3. What made the girls roommate look funny? 4.

Interviewer: Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorable experience in your life? Christina: Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house burned down. Interviewer: Really? How did it happen? Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove.

Interviewer: What were you doing at that time? Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I open my eyes to find myself surrounded by walls of fire. Interviewer: Thats terrible! How did you escape? Christna: I was terrified. Then I heard my mothers voice calling my name. I rushed to her. She carried me out. Luckily I got away without even a minor burn. Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way? Christina: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped me to grow up. Interviewer: What do you mean? Christina: Well before the fire, I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how small my room was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I really needed my old things. I just needed my family. After all. You can get new clothes any time, but a family can never be replaced. Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you something, too. Christina: Exactly. It taught me to appreciate my family more than

Dear Peter, How have you been doing? Have you got any plan for the coming school break? Perhaps I will go to see my grandparents in the countryside. I havent seen them since my last school holiday. Let me tell you about my last summer vacation at my grandparents. It was almost a year ago and was one of my most unforgettable experiences. My grandparents live in a small village, which is about 70 kilometres southeast of Hanoi. There is a large river at the back of their house where I often do swimming every afternoon when I spend my vacation with them. One day when I was swimming with some of my friends, I suddenly caught a cold. I felt so dizzy and was too weak to continue swimming, so I started to sink. I thought I was going to drown but I couldnt call out for help because I was too tired and terrified. Luckily, one of my friends saw that and shouted for help. Immediately, another friend who swim the best among us swam towards me and tried to pull me up. Then other friends swam towards us to help him push me in. My life was finally saved. Now recalling the moment I thought I was going to die, I understand how precious life is. This event definitely taught me to appreciate my life. What about you? Have you got any unforgettable holiday that you would like to share with me? See you soon. Nam

2.GRAMMAR Present simple + Form: * I, you, we, they + V * he, she, it + Vs/es + Use: * Use the Simple present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually doesnt do. Ex: The train leaves every morning at 8 a.m. The train doesnt leave at 9 a.m. When does the train usually leave? * Speakers sometimes use the Simple present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now.

The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event. Ex: I have seen that movie 20 times. I think I have met him once before. * With Non-Continuous Verbs and noncontinuous uses of Mixed Verbs we use the Present Perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now.

EXTRA ACTIVITY Read the text and answer the questions that follow. How did the tradition of birthday parties start? Birthday parties are always among the highlights of a childs year, but did you ever wonder how the tradition of birthday parties started? The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would come to be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and whiles. Giving gifts growth even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began. At first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday celebration (maybe this is how the tradition of birthday crowns began?). As time went by, children became included in birthday celebration. The first childrens birthday parties occurred in Germany and were called Kinderfeste. Questions 1. When did the tradition of birthday parties start in Europe? 2. According to traditions, Why would friends and family come to be with people on their birthdays? 3. Originally, why did people give birthday gifts? 4. At first, who could give birthday parties? 5. When did the first childrens birthday parties take place? Answer : 1. It started a long time ago. 2. To protect them from evil spirits. 3. Because giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. 4. Kings. 5. In Germany

- T asks Ss to work in pairs and correct each others writing. Sample writing: The table describes the literacy rates in different regions of the Sunshine country from 1998 to 2007. Generally, except for Highlands, where the rates slightly decreased between these years, Lowlands and Midlands both witnessed a rise. In lowlands, for example, the rates were 50 %, 53 % and 56 % in 1998, 2002 and 2004. In 2007, the rate sharply rose to 95 %, which was a remarkable progress. Midlands saw a less dramatic change, however. The rate went up gradually from 70 % and 75 % in 1998 and 2002 to 80 % and 85 % in 2004 and 2007. Unlike these 2 regions, Highlands witnessed a gradual decrease in the rate of literacy of its population. In 1997 the rate was 50 %; however, it decreased by 5 % in 2002 and continued to go down in the following years, reaching only 30 % in 2007. Obviously, this region needs to improve its literacy rate.

A Vietnamese folklore indicates that the festival came about as a way for parents to make up lost time, showing love and appropriately to their children after the harvest season. Appropriately, The Mid Autumn Festival is also called the Childrens Festival. Trung thu activities are offer centered on around children and education. Parents buy lanterns for their children so that they can participate in a candlelit lantern procession at dawn. Lantern represents brightness while the procession symbolizes success in school. Vietnamese markets sell a variety of lantern. Other childrens activities include arts and crafts which children make face masks and lanterns. Children also perform traditional Vietnamese dance and participate in contests for prizes and scholarships. Unicorn dancers are also very popular in Trung Thu festivals.
