I.Read the passage and statements below carefully, and then say whether the statements are true (T), false (F) or not given (N): Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument or sing. We can hear music on CDs and on radio or television. Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, excite us, or soothe us. WHAT IS MUSIC? Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy, spinetingling, healing —all kinds of things. But what is it? Some people define it as an artful arrangement of sounds across time. Our ears interpret these sounds as loud or soft, high or low, rapid and short, or slow and smooth. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music. Music, like language, is a uniquely human form of communication. As with language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way. What we think of as music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture, and vice versa. It might not even sound like music. In Indonesia, gamelan orchestras play music on gongs, drums, and xylophones. These aren’t the instruments you’d find in a typical orchestra in North America. Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. Music from one part of the world influences music from another part. For example, gamelan music from Indonesia influenced 20thcentury American composers such as John Cage. New vocabulary: to soothe (v.): làm d u, làm nguôi (tình c m…) spinetingling (adj.): very special and exciting ể ữ ệ healing (adj.): đ ch a b nh, đ ch a v t th gamelan orchestra (n.): Indonesian percussion orchestra: an Indonesian orchestra that consists mainly of percussion (s đánh ự tr ng, s gõ mõ) chuông chùm), gongs (cái c ng; cái chiêng, k ng), and wooden ộ ầ ỗ xylophones (đàn phi n g , m c c m) 1/ Music is part of every culture on all the planets. 2/ Music is considered one important thing which makes life fun and beautiful.
3/ Everyone can make music. 4/ You can see music everywhere. 5/ There are many kinds of music in Vietnam. 6/ We can feel happy when we hear music. 7/ Music can be many kinds of things. 8/ People have the same definition of music. 9/ Sometimes the sounds of music can be slow. 10/ People know all kinds of music in the world. 11/ Everyone understands music the same way. 12/ In different places there are different music instruments. 13/ Nowadays we find it easier to listen to music. 14/ Music from one place is influenced by others from other places. 15/ American music influences Indonesian music a lot.

heavy things and repair work like fixing plumping and electricity. The mother is usually the manager of the household. She takes care of children and supervises household tasks. She also helps to share the family financial burden and helps to make decisions affecting the family. She plans the menu, does the shopping, and prepares the family meals. She either supervises or does cleaning, laundry, ironing and other similar tasks. Today, however, both mother and father can share roles in homemaking and breadwinning. The son in the family helps the father with some household activities such as doing simple home repair. He helps the mother in the kitchen and with other household tasks.

Answer the Sts’ Presentation 1: (20 min)
1. Past Simple FORM (+) S + Ved/c2 + O/ A () S + didn’t + Vo + O/A (?) Did + S + Vo + A/ O?.
questions Listen to the teacher’s presentation
Rules: +Regular verbs ending in y preceded by a consonant form the past tense by changing the y into ied. USE 1 Completed Action in the Past
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past.
I saw a movie last month. USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. Examples:
(cid:0)
I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim. USE 3 Duration in Past
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. Examples:
(cid:0)
I lived in Brazil for two years.
USE 4 Habits in the Past
The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. Examples:
(cid:0)
I studied French when I was a child.
2. Past Perfect FORM [had + past participle] Examples:
(cid:0) You had studied English before you moved to New York.
USE 1 Completed Action Before Something in the Past
The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. Examples:
(cid:0)
I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.
USE 2 Duration Before Something in the Past (NonContinuous
Verbs)
use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past. Examples:
(cid:0) We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
(cid:0)
IMPORTANT Specific Times with the Past Perfect
Unlike with the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect. Example:
She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
(cid:0)
3. Past Continuous FORM [was/were + present participle] Examples: USE 1 Interrupted Action in the Past
Do the exercise Work in pairs
Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. Examples:
Listen to the teacher
I was watching TV when she called.
(cid:0) When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.
USE 2 Specific Time as an Interruption
Listen to the teacher (cid:0)
In USE 1, described above, the Past Continuous is interrupted by a shorter action in the Simple Past. Examples:
(cid:0) Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner. (cid:0) Yesterday at this time, I was sitting at my desk at work.
IMPORTANT In the Simple Past, a specific time is used to show when an action began or finished. Examples:
(cid:0) Last night at 6 PM, I ate dinner. (cid:0) Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner..
USE 3 Parallel Actions
When you use the Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. Examples:
Take note

I. READING COMPREHENSION. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that
she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?” Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
1. According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was__________. C. looking D. listening B. discussing A. speaking
2. At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally__________.
A. feels embarrassed and stays away from people B. asks people to introduces themselves to her C. comes over to the first person and introduces herself D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people
3. My aunt thinks that it's very easy to keep a conversation going if you__________.
A. let people talk about themselves B. let people hear about yourself C. talk about politics or religion D. ask people about their secrets
4. What should you NOT do when you have a conversation with someone?
A. Looking very interested in his or her story B. Looking at other things in the room C. Listening very carefully and asking questions D. Paying him or her compliments

VII. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
As working women continue to receive better and better wages, housewives still work at home without receiving paychecks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her service? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, sociologists
found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family composed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife's household chores. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to federal guidelines for minimum wages.
B. To ask men to treat wives
Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that fulltime housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes, with their employers contributing part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, "If you stay at home and raise a family, nobody will give you credit for it." 36. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To encourage women to go out to work. better. C.
