John has been a keen reader and his favourite topic is climate change. Looking at his bookshelf, you'll be amazed at how many special books on climate change he has. Most of these books are his own buy and he is very proud of his collection. Some others are his dad’s souvenirs from his business trips abroad. Believe it or not, all you can find on John’s wish lists are titles of new books on climate change and global warming. John once lent his collection to the school library for a book fair and he even gave a talk on causes and effects of global warming at his science club. His audience was fascinated by his explanation of the natural greenhouse effect and the human-enhanced process in which greenhouse gases trap the heat and radiation, thereby raising the earth’s temperature.

Hobby-related holidays are on the way to becoming one of the most lucrative forms of tourism, and younger people are definitely joining in. Of course, sports-related camps have been a huge part of tourism for ages, but what if you’re someone with little interest in tennis or basketball? A good option for you might be a two-week photography tour - with stunning scenery, ancient buildings and sometimes even underwater photography. Alternatively, if you are interested in nature, you can spend two weeks in an exotic location helping to identify rare plants and animals - while soaking up some sun and meeting like-minded people.

Speaking

Work in pairs. You and a friend are planning a day trip cycling to the countryside. Discuss with your friend what you are going to do. Give reasons for your opinions. Agree on an activity.

(Làm việc theo cặp. Bạn và một người bạn đang lên kế hoạch cho một chuyến đi trong ngày đạp xe về vùng nông thôn. Thảo luận với bạn của bạn về những gì bạn sẽ làm. Đưa ra lý do cho ý kiến ​​​​của bạn. Đồng ý về một hoạt động)

Answer:

Me: Hey, have you ever thought about cycling to the countryside for a day trip?

Friend: No, I haven't. But that sounds like a great idea. What did you have in mind?

Me: Well, we could cycle to a nearby town and have lunch there. Then we can cycle to the countryside and take a picnic break.

Friend: That sounds like a good plan, but I think we should do something more adventurous. What if we go off-road and explore some of the nearby trails and forests?

Me: Hmm, that sounds interesting. But I'm not sure if we're both experienced enough to handle that. What if we get lost or injured?

Friend: Don't worry, we can do some research and find a well-marked trail. We can also bring a first aid kit and a GPS device with us. It will be an adventure!

Me: Okay, you convinced me. Let's do it! We can also take some pictures of the scenery and post them on social media.

Friend: Great! I'll bring my camera and we can take some cool shots. This will be a fun and memorable trip.

Answer:

I recently attended a science club meeting in our school auditorium. The meeting was attended by students from various grades who share an interest in science and technology. We had a fascinating discussion on climate change, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and medical technology. The meeting concluded with a documentary on the latest developments in medical technology.

I found the meeting to be highly informative and engaging. It was great to be in a room full of like-minded individuals who share a passion for science and technology. The presentations and discussions were thought-provoking, and I learned a lot about topics that I was not familiar with before.

I have been inspired to learn more about science and technology as a result of attending the meeting. I have started reading more books and articles on these topics and discussing them with my friends and family. The science club is an excellent platform for students to explore their interests and expand their knowledge. I am looking forward to attending future meetings.
