give out time for our hobbies. Indulging in a hobby is actually good for a sound health. We all need
a time of leisure for ourselves and that partícula time is when we like to do something that gives us

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or B) that best answers each of the
questions below.

One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact
with other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long, tapping
messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers feel more
comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is easier to chat on
the Internet because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones or
computer. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of parents
are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture, they also don't know
how to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a
problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more immediately engaging with the
teenager's life than parents are, and this fact makes virtual communication feels more "real" than
face-to-face communication.

UNIT 1: My name is Tuan. In my free time, I really like surfing the Internet. When I get home
from work, I turn on my computer, wait until it boots up completely, and then I go online. I still
have a dial-up connection, but I’m switching to a broadband Internet service soon. It costs more
a month, but Webpages load faster with a high-speed connection, I can upload and download
files quicker. I usually check my email first and write a few messages to family and friends. I
sometimes scan the local news headlines at my favorite news Website and read up on the latest
local and international news. This Website often provides video news clips that you can view
online. I sometimes order products or services online to save money and time instead of going to
a store and buying what I’m looking for. For example, I ordered a digital camera online the other
day and saved about $50. Whatever I do, I realize that there are problems with using the Internet
including scams, identity theft, and viruses, so I’m very careful not to give out my personal
information. Furthermore, I don’t download or open files I don’t recognize. Using the Internet
can be fun and convenient way of shopping and finding out new information, but you just need
to be careful.

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or B) that best answers each of the
questions below.
One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact
with other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long, tapping
messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers feel more
comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is easier to chat on the
Internet because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones or
computer. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of parents
are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture, they also don't know how
to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a
problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more immediately engaging with the
teenager's life than parents are, and this fact makes virtual communication feels more "real" than
face-to-face communication.

Exercise 11. Read the text and choose the correct answer.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in
reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and
quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is
safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because
there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find,
particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is
hard to find jobs.
In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the
whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young
people who have a career are better provided in the city.
