The idea of two teams pushing backwards or forwards to each other began in ancient Egypt as a ceremony celebrating good harvests.

The first description of English football appeared in 1775 in London. Rules of those days were not as strict as they are today, and games frequently ended in fights with broken arms and legs and even deaths. The number of players could exceed 500 and a game could last a day.

The birth of modern football took place in London in October 1863 when the football Association was formed, and in the following few years most of the rules as we know them were adopted. Today, big football games in London are played at Wembley Stadium, few miles from the centre of London.

GERMANY 4 -2 COSTA RICA

Host Germany opened the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals with a 4-2 win over Group A rivals Costa Rica in Munich on Friday, 9 June 2006. An exciting Opening Match produced three goals inside the first 17 minutes as Philipp Lahm fired Germany in front on six minutes, Paulo Wanchope drew the Ticos level six minutes later and then Miroslav Klose restored the host’s lead.

Klose, celebrating his 28^th birthday, made it 3–1 after 61 minutes and although Wanchope narrowed the deficit with his second goal on 73 minutes, Jurgen Klinsmann’s men secured the three points through Torsten Frings’ spectacular drive three minutes from time. Germany made the best possible start to the finals with three points and a healthy return of four goals, but there will be questions raised about their tactics after being caught out twice at the back.

Dear Minh,

I'm very pleased to write this letter to you. The first term is coming to an end soon and my school is going to have some days off. On this occasion, my class is visiting some caves near Hanoi as we have recently studied rock formations. Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave, so I suppose the trip will be very interesting. At first, we wanted to travel to Thay Pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometers away, and we could go on a day excursion. However, only today have we learnt that the caves near Thay Pagoda are closed until after Tet. So we are visiting the ones near Huong Pagoda instead. A night camping fire on a two day trip will be a great event in our school days! To make the trip cheap, we are bringing our own food and sharing buses with some other classes. It is much warmer now. I believe we are going to enjoy good weather with lots of sunshine. The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents' permission. They may not want to let me stay the night away from home. I'll try to persuade them. That's all for now. Give my love to your parents and sister.

Yours,

Lan.

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions:

Twenty years ago people realized that computers were about to become part of our daily lives. This short period of time has seen enormous changes in business, education and public administration. Jobs which took weeks to complete in the past are now carried out in minutes. Clerks who spent all day copying and checking calculations are now freed from these tedious tasks. In offices, the soft hum and clicking of word processors have replaced the clatters of typewriters. Schoolchildren have become as familiar with hardware and software as their parents used to be with pencils and exercise books. Computerization of public records has enable government departments to analyze the need of citizens in detail. Some of us may wonder, however, whether life has really improved as a result of these changes. Many jobs disappeared, for example, when intelligent machines took over the work. Employers complain that clerical staff has become dependent on calculators and cannot do simple arithmetic. There are fears that governments haven’t done enough to ensure that personal information held on computers is really kept secret. Certainly, many people may not be wondering whether the spread of computers has brought us as many problems as it has solved.

My village was never a big village, nor was it particularly successful or well-known. It was a place where simple people worked on their land, tending citrus groves and running poultry farms. The most exotic plantation grew avocados, and a palm tree nursery was something of an attraction. (tend: take care of, grove: small forest, poultry: gia cầm, exotic: ngoại lai, avocado: lê tàu)

The village was established by a group of Greek immigrants in 1937 in what was then known as British-controlled Palestine. When we first moved here, one could still hear some Greek in the street, the local store sold original Greek delicacies and from time to time we were invited to sit on a neighbor’s porch and share some ouzo at the end of a working day. (delicacy: đồ mỹ vị, porch: hành lang, ouzo: rượu hồi)

In the last few years, my village has changed dramatically. Very few people work in agriculture now; they can no longer support their families growing oranges and chickens.

Read the passage and then choose the best answers for the following questions.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are not used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out- of school hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist. There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly, these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the classroom. Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become good readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.

Read the passage and then do the tasks that follow.

Every day many road accidents happen in Hong Kong. Everyone, especially children must learn how to cross the road. A simple code to remember is “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN BEFORE YOU CROSS”.

The Transport Department organizes road safety campaigns every year in order to reduce traffic accidents. Parents and teachers should educate children on road safety. Most schools have their own School Road Safety Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrols is a uniformed group. It recruits secondary school students as members. Students in senior forms help fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and from school.

When you go out alone, however, what is the best way to cross the road? First, you must find a safe place to cross. Of course, it is safest to be directed by a policeman or a traffic warden. Roads are dangerous. However, if everyone takes care when crossing the road, there will be fewer traffic accidents. Our transport system will then become safer and more efficient.

Read the following passage and then choose the best answer to the question.

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day when Louis was 3 years old, he was cutting some leather, suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eyes. He soon became completely blind.

When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the blind in Paris. One day his class went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It showed messages in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no-one else can read them. The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.

Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so the blind could “read” with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a “cell” of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down. So blind people can read and write even write music by Braille.

Hearing-impaired people cannot hear sounds well. How do they ‘hear’ words and 'talk’?

Many hearing-impaired people use American Sign Language (ASL). They talk with their hands. Sometimes two hearing-impaired people talk to each other. They both use ASL. Sometimes a person who can hear interprets for hearing-impaired people. The person listens to someone talking, and then he or she makes hand signs.

There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the alphabet. The person spells words. This is finger spelling. The other kind has a sign for whole words. There are about five thousand of these signs. They are signs for verbs, things and ideas. Some of the signs are very easy, for example, eat, milk, and horse. You can see what they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg, or week.

People from any country can learn ASL. They don't speak words. They use signs, so they can understand people from other countries. (impairment: weaknees)

ASL is almost like a dance. The whole body talks. American Sign Lan­guage is a beautiful language.

Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people – they are a cheap and easy way to see a country.

If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared – a tent, a gas stove, food. Other things must be taken by each person – clothes, footwear, and a sleeping bag. So you must be sure of how much you can carry. Most people find 10kg about right. Much more than that and you need another holiday when you get home! And remember, if the weather is wet your rucksack is heavier. Many people who go camping for the first time take too much and then find they have forgotten the essentials. But with practice and good advice you can have a fantastic holiday.

Copenhagen

In spite of being the capital of one of Europe’s smallest countries, the clean and friendly city of Copenhagen offers a host of cultural and sightseeing opportunities. With a vast number of pedestrianised streets, the best way to sightsee is by foot, or you may prefer a leisurely canal cruise past the colorful waterfront houses.

Sights not be missed include Rosenborg Castle which houses the Crown Jewels, Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid and the famous Tivoli Gardens with a myriad of restaurants and bars, concert halls and a fairground offering something for everyone. Also worth a visit is the Viking Museum and for something different why not tour the Carlsberg Brewery. Shoppers will enjoy the fine shops of the Stroget and don’t forget the side-streets leading from it. After sunset, head for Nyhavn quayside.

“A rarity among capital cities - it does not overwhelm you, but rather takes you gently in and shows you its sights with quiet pride. The Little Mermaid is smaller than you imagined (but she is, after all, “Little”) and there isn’t a single inch of neon among the light bulbs of Tivoli.” - John Carter.
