This document discusses whether it is important to study grammar. It notes that grammar concepts like passive voice and relative pronouns are commonly tested on exams. Frequently tested grammar concepts include basic verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, and gerunds. Every year, important concepts like tense, context clues, and translating pictures into sentences are nearly always included. The document concludes that more complex exam questions require stronger grammar and sentence structure skills.

The idea may hit you once or twice a year. You come home on a hot
summer day, hoping to have a cool bath, and find out there is no water. Then
you see how important water is in your everyday life. However, in many parts
of the world, water is not just about one’s everyday needs.
In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting
water falls on women’s shoulders. Girls are often kept home from school to
collect water while their brothers stay at school studying. Studies show
Tanzanian girls who live 15 minutes from clean water spend 12% more time
at school than those who live an hour away. More time spent collecting water
means less time for learning. For these girls, “Knowledge is power” is not just
words; it is a sad fact in real life. With less time spent at school, their chances
of getting well-paid jobs are small, and they often have no voice in important
matters, like who to marry. These girls are often married into poor families.
They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children, who often
end up dying young. For the baby girls who are lucky enough to live, their life
may still center around “water,” just like it did for their mothers.

In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of
collecting water falls on women’s shoulders. Girls are often kept
home from school to collect water while their brothers stay at
school studying. Studies show Tanzanian girls who live 15 minutes
from clean water spend 12% more time at school than those who
live an hour away. More time spent collecting water means less time
for learning. For these girls, “Knowledge is power” is not just words;
it is a sad fact in real life. With less time spent at school, their
chances of getting well-paid jobs are small, and they often have no
voice in important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often
married into poor families. They have little money or knowledge to
take care of their children, who often end up dying young. For the
baby girls who are lucky enough to live, their life may still center
around “water,” just like it did for their mothers.

Do you eat meat? Well, if you do, then you might find our next news
interesting. A study says that the world has a ___(33)___ need for meat.
In 1960, the world ate 64 million tonnes[公噸] of meat, about 21 kg for
each person. In 2007, the number rose to 268 million tonnes, about 40 kg
for each person. At the same time, ____(34)____. In the 1960s, beef was
high on the menu. Of the meat that was eaten, 40% was beef. In 2007,
pork became the star. Poultry [家禽] also became popular, going up from
12% to 32%, thanks to people’s worries about their health these years.
And ____(35)_____? You’re guessing the U.S.A., right? The answer is
Luxembourg! In 2007, each Luxembourger ate about 137 kg of meat!
Second to Luxembourgers are Americans. In 2007, each American ate
about 126 kg! Now, enough with the numbers. I’m playing you a song
called Currywurst. The singer sings about his love for the meat dish of the
same name. Enjoy!

There are about 6,000-7,000 languages spoken in the
world. However, almost one language dies every two
weeks. It means many languages are getting near the end of their lives. Take
Navajo for example. It is one of the languages spoken by the native people of
North America. Today, more and more Navajo children grow up learning and
speaking only English. Most of them do not even know what the 3,000-year-
old Navajo language sounds like.
Chart 1 below shows that from 1980 to 1990, the percentage (%) of young
Navajos (Age: 5-17) who speak only English grew quickly. Chart 2 shows that
in 1992, many Navajo children under the age of six spoke English well, but
not many of them spoke their parents’ language well. Clearly, the Navajo
language may soon
be lost if we don’t
do something
about it.
