SYNOPSIS
Raising questions is a necessary technique in teaching. For students, questions help them absorb knowledge and skills systematically, avoid mechanical memory and inspire active learning environment. For teachers, raising questions helps them instruct students to learn, encourage and stimulate their students thinking. Ultimately, it provides teachers with feedback so that they can know whether their students comprehend the lessons. In order to supply lower secondary teachers of English systematic questions for reference in teaching and developing tests, assessing students learning outcomes following standards of knowledge and skills, the Second Lower Secondary Education Development Project, executed by the Ministry of Education and Training with support from the Asian Development Bank, compiled the book Sets of English Questions at lower secondary education (includes CD ROM). The contents include the system of questions selected in line with the English curriculum in Grade 6, 7, 8, 9. According to the requirements of the Project, the printed books will show the questions of English at Grade 8 and Grade 9. The other questions at Grade 6, 7, 8 and 9 will be available on CD ROM. This material will be distributed to 63 Departments of Education and Training nationwide. The content will be also available for access and download on the website at http://bandotuduy.violet.vn THE AUTHORS

In Russia some years ago, it was quite cool to keep important things keys, wallet, mobile phone, on the end of a long chain that hung down to your leg. You had to be young to do this. Not many of the followers of this realized that it came from Britain fifty years ago. In those days, that long chain was one component of the Edwardian style. It went together with a big jacket and very narrow trousers. The people who dressed like this were the Teddy Boys, the original youth culture, and, first of all, they were just youths who dressed in a particular style. In Britain, youth culture is much more than fashion. Put on the clothes, you start to move in a different way. If you dont dress and move like other young men, then you make older and more respectable people nervous. T 1.

If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for advice. Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Dont worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart.

II. Read the passage and answer the question below. I get a lot of letters at this time of year from people complaining that they have a cold which wont go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold its often difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous if you are already taking drugs for some other illness so always check with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy please dont try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy youll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldnt be so bad! 1. What should you do before buying medicine for a cold if you are already taking drugs? 2. In what case are colds dangerous? 3. What do people often do when they have a cold? 4.

wish wed discovered youth hostels years ago. Now that Im back at university again luxury hotels are a thing of the past, and I was complaining about this one day to a friend who said that she and her family never stayed anywhere but hostels. I had no idea that hostels could be anything from a cottage to a castle. I mean where else do you get to stay in a castle! In fact there are four different grades simple, standard, superior and special so you pay an overnight charge according to the kind of hostel you stay at. You cant stay more than three nights at a time but that didnt bother us because we wanted a touring holiday. Basically you look after yourself although most hostels do breakfast and some of them offer an evening meal if you arrive early enough. There are a few rules like having to be in by 11 p.m in the evening and out by 10 a.m in the morning but otherwise youre free to do what you want. Now I really believe that the best thing about this whole holiday was meeting so many different and interesting people. I used to think hostels were only for the young and noisy, but not any more. You cant imagine what a variety there was! Anyway, what are you all doing next year? 1. What did the writer enjoy most about her holiday this year? 2. Where did the writer use to stay on her holiday? 3. Why did the writer decide to stay in a youth hostel this year? 4. What shouldnt you do if you live in a hostel? 5.

I. Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B, C or D. While radio broadcasting was still in its infancy the marvel of television was already being developed. The first step towards its invention was taken in 1873 but the person responsible for developing it was John Logie Baird. In 1926 he gave the first demonstration of a television picture. As a home entertainment, television rapidly became more popular than any other form. A news broadcast became more immediate when people could see the scene in question and the movement of the figures. Films could be viewed in the comfort of the home and variety shows were also available. One of the advantages of travel programmes was the glimpse of far-away places which many viewers would not otherwise have seen. 194
Though much of the entertainment was of a popular kind like quiz competitions, some remarkable cultural programmes were also broadcast. Just as with radio in earlier days, the publicity given to actors and actresses on the screen meant that a group of personalities became familiar in every household. One of the most popular programmes was the televised coverage of sport and an interesting result of the television broadcast was the increased attendance at the actual events. How far this was due to a growth in interest in the game and how far out of the spectatorsdesire to appear on the screen is not clear. 1. Why is John Logie Baird famous in the history of television? A. He invented television. B. He was responsible for making television. C. He developed television and was the first person to demonstrate it. D. He saw a lot of television pictures. 2. Why did people prefer a television news to a radio news? A. Because it was more interesting. B. Because it was more real, they could see the people and places talked about. C. Because it was more convenient. D. Because it was more beautiful. 3. Why was travel programmes popular? A. Because the viewers were able to see other parts of the world which they would never be able to visit. B. Because the viewers could see the places they have visited. C. Because the viewers liked far-away places. D. Because the viewers enjoyed travelling. 4. What benefit did actors and actresses have from television? A. They could earn a lot of money. B. They could do a lot of performances. C. They appeared in every household. D. They became well-known throughout the country. 195
5. What effect did the televising of sport have? A. More people went to watch sports events. B. More people watched TV. C. People were more interested in the games. D. People spent more time watching TV.
II. Read the passage and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). BIRTH OF THE COMPUTER Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age. But actually the idea for a computer was worked out over two centuries ago by a man called Charles Babbage. Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up plans for several calculating machines which he called engines. But despite the fact that he started building some of these he never finished any of them. Over the years people have argued if his machines would ever work. Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has finished building an engine based on one of Babbages designs. It has taken six years to complete and more than four thousand parts have been specially made. Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the Science Museum to remind of Babbages work. T 1. Charles Babbage was the first person who had an idea for the computer. 2. Babbage studied mathematics well. 3. Babbage designed some calculating machines. 4. His machines were widely used over the years. 196 F
5. An engine with more than four thousand parts has been built on Babbages ideas and designs for six years and will be sent to the Science Museum.

I. Listen to the text and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). Headache is a very common disease in the U.S.A. Every year, about fifty million people have to go to the doctor because of headache. The symptoms of a headache are various. People can see black dots or bright sports in front of their eyes. They may also have pains only on one side of the head. Sometimes when the pain goes away, the head is sore. People have headache when they work too hard or they are too nervous about something. Medicine can help cure the disease but people usually have to do more than taking tablets. They can prevent headaches by changing their diets or their lifestyle or simply by going to bed. II. Listen to the text and circle the best answer A, B or C to complete each of the following sentences. Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today. Man pollutes his surroundings in various ways. He dirties the air with gases and smoke, poisons the water with chemicals and other substances, and damages the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. Air, water and soil are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the amount of land for growing food. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to mans natural world.

I. Listen to Mary talking to a group of people and choose the most suitable option (A, B, C, or D) to complete the sentence. Good afternoon everyone, my names Mary and Id like to welcome you all to Sandy Bay Hotel. Im here to answer any questions or to help with 203
any problems. Breakfast is served from 8.30 to 9.30 in the dining room or in your room, if you prefer. Thats everyday except Saturday when were going to leave early for our coach trip to the mountains. Dont worry- you will be brought a light breakfast in your rooms at 7 a.m. that day so theres plenty of time to eat before we leave at 7.30. I have arranged with the kitchen staff to make packed lunches for you for full day excursions and these can be collected from the dining room each morning straight after breakfast. Now another thing about coach trips: we meet the coach here at the hotel, not at the entrance because the front gates are rather narrow, but round at the side, away from the main road. Its easy to find, dont worry! II. Listen to the text and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). Good morning everyone. I hope youve all had a good weekend. Before you go to your language classes Id like to tell you what weve planned this week for our leisure time. Now, after the success of my cake-making class last week, I thought wed try to cook something again this week. So immediately after supper Ill be showing you how to make bread in the traditional way. Tomorrow evening, were going to have a poetry reading. Ive found a book of poetry collected by teachers over a number of years and all the writers were under 12. Its all easy to understand, but I think youll be surprised at how interesting and beautiful it is. This should be especially interesting for the student teachers among you
Ch 6
I. Listen to Norman talking about his first trip abroad and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). Well, Im from uh Toronto, which is in Canada. And about two years ago now, I guess it was, I visited Italy. We went into Rome and flew 204
into Rome and took ground transportation to Naples. And people seemed to relax there a lot more than they do here. There was no sort of hustle and bustle. Everybody took their time. And I had been told that Naples was a dangerous city and I was really surprised when it turned out that it was no more or less dangerous than Toronto, or I guess any big city. You know you have to be careful, but what really surprised me was how helpful the people were. They seemed to be friendlier than they were where I come from. In fact at one point, I had my tourist map hanging out my back pocket and so I saw somebody reaching for it, and it was this lady who was reaching to tuck it back in, and then she shook her finger at me and in Italian told me I should be more careful. I thought that was really friendly. II. Listen to a woman talking about Jackie Chan, one of the famous people in the world, and answer the questions. Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1954. Now his parents were very poor, and at first, they couldnt even afford to pay the hospital bills. But they decided to borrow some money so they could keep the baby. When he was 7, young Jackie was sent to a very strict boarding school, the Chinese Opera Research Institute and they train performers in singing, acrobatics, martial arts and mime. When he left the school at the age of 17, he became a movie stuntman, and he appeared with Bruce Lee in several kung-fu movies. But Jackie Chans big breakthrough came in 1978, when he made Snake in Eagles Shadow. See, what he did was, he combined comedy and dangerous stunts, and it was very appealing. The film was a big hit in Hong Kong. Jackies fame has since spread all over the world, making him one of the worlds most popular stars.

The surroundings were beautifully decorated with flowers, flags and colored lights. A lot of moon cakes, sweets and fruits were arranged on the tables for the children to eat after singing and dancing... I was very excited about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This temple has been a theme of many songs, topic of poetry, used in literary works as well as backdrops for paintings. I think we should try our best to protect it and make it more and more beautiful. What do you plan to do during the summer vacation? Write to me about it. Your friend, Nam II. (GI ) 1.

I. Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B, C or D to complete each of the following sentences. I live in Arica, Chile. Its one of the driest places on earth, at least in terms of rainfall. On average, it rains only about once every six years. However, that doesnt mean its extremely hot and colourless. In fact, the climate is quite mild, with temperatures from 20C to 25C most of the year. Although Arica is in the desert, there is enough moisture in the air to keep the desert plants green and beautiful. No one could say that Arica is lush, but we do have a lot of beautiful green parks.

I. Read the passage and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Exchange Programs Youth for Understanding Youth For Understanding (YFU) was begun to improve understanding between the United States and Germany after World War II. In 1951, 75 German teenagers were selected to live with American families for one year. In 1955, the first American teenagers were placed with European families. Since 1951, YFU has exchanged approximately 200,000 students from more than 50 countries. In the mid-fifties, the program expanded rapidly in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. YFU was introduced to Latin America in 1958, beginning with Mexico. Although YFU was founded in the United States, it is truly international. For example, a Brazilian student can go to the United States or to any of 12 countries, including Denmark, Australia, and France. Exchange students are placed with families in their host countries. Host families are carefully selected so that the visit is a safe and rewarding experience. Exchange students attend school where they make friends and learn what life is like for teenagers in the host country. If a different language is spoken in the host country, students will need to meet minimum language requirements. Students also must demonstrate that they are committed to the host family and are ready for cross-culture living.

I. Read the passage and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Where does our garbage go? San Francisco garbage collections are made every week. You put your garbage can full of trash out in front of your house on a certain day every week. The garbage collectors empty it into their garbage trucks. What happens to the garbage after that? The trucks take the garbage to a landfill. A landfill is a place where they bury garbage. They try to fix the landfill so the garbage won't leak out. The garbage is covered with earth. 250
Most of San Francisco's garbage is sent to the Altamont Landfill. A landfill can only take a certain amount of garbage. After it is full, it can't take any more. If we send less garbage to the landfill, we will be able to use it longer. T 1. People in San Francisco collect garbage every week. 2. Garbage collectors take your garbage to a landfill and burn it all. 3. In the landfill, they bury garbage. 4. Altamont Landfill is the place where they send most of San Franciscos garbage. 5.

II. Read the passage and choose the best answer in the following question. Mexico City is the oldest and most historical capital city in North America. The city is situated at a height of 2,255 metres above sea level and is surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes. For the Aztecs, who first built the city, it was a beautiful, sunny capital, but today Mexico City is almost always covered by an enormous brown cloud of smog which is caused by the pollution coming from hundreds of factories around the city and from over three million cars waiting in endless traffic jams. Just breathing the air is the same as smoking 40 cigarettes a day! One day in the 1980s, the level of population in the air in one part of the city was so high that thousands of birds fell from the sky and died. Since then, the Mexican government and private organizations have worked very hard to clean the air and control the levels of pollution, and the situation is improving. 251

I. Listen to the text and circle the best answer A, B or C to complete each of the following sentences. A Short History of the English Language English is a Germanic language that was taken from the northern Europe to what is now Great Britain in the fifth century. This early form of the language is known as Old English. During this period, English had many Latin words because of the influence of Christianity. The Second period of English (Middle English) began in 1066 when the Norman invaded from what is now northern France. Because the Normans spoke French, English was strongly influenced by that language, and there were more Latin-based words. During the 15th and 16th century, English changed very fast and leaded to Modern language. Because of the increase in traveling, many foreign words were introduced and the grammar developed into its present system. Then during the 19th and 20th centuries, thousands of new words were introduced because of contact with other languages and the technology.

II. Listen to the text and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). Nine years ago, about 372 million people spoke English as their first language, putting it second only to Chinese, which was spoken by 1.1 billion people. But in 50 years time, the picture will change a lot. Among 15-to24year-olds, the number of English speakers will fall to 65 million. Chinese will still dominate, with 166 million young speakers. According to David Graddol, the researcher, the world population rose rapidly during the 20th century in less developed countries, so the languages of these countries will become more dominant in the near future. 274
David also said that the new must-learn language in the future should be Mandarin, the language of Chinese people and many other Asians.

Water is undoubtedly the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet. Without water, life on Earth would be non-existent. It is essential for everything on our planet to grow. Although we as humans recognize this fact, we disregard it by polluting our rivers, lakes, and oceans. Subsequently, we are slowly but surely harming our planet at a very alarming rate. In order to combat water pollution, we must understand the problems and become part of the solution.

I. Listen to the text and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). Chinese New Year is never on the same day every year because we follow a special calendar which follows the Moon. So sometimes its at the end of January and sometimes its at the beginning of February. At Chinese New Year we like to wear our new clothes and we also like to eat special food which has special meaning, such as Chinese mushrooms and oysters and delicious sweets; hopefully they bring us lots of good luck and lots of money. Now, its special for children because they get little red envelopes of money from adults, so what they do is they go to adults, they say Happy New Year and they get a little red envelope.
(Adapted from New Cutting Edge, pre-intermediate, Students book)
II. Listen to the test and circle the best answer A, B, C or D to complete each of the following sentences. One of the most important days for me really is New Year, because New Year in Scotland is really very, very important in fact, its not so much New Years Day, the first January, but its the evening before, New Years Eve.so on the thirty-first of December, at about seven oclock in the evening, the cleaning begins, and I remember when I was a child, my mother spending hours cleaning the house to make sure that everything would be special, and ready for the New Year and then when it gets to twelve oclock, and the bells start to ring, the first thing my mother does is to open the door to let the New Year in and then everyone has something to drink and we wait for the first foot. The first foot is the first person who comes to your house in the New Year, and they bring you your luck for the whole year.

I. Listen to the text and fill in each blank ONE word. This morning, the residents of a small village in Wiltshire woke up to an amazing sight. Its the biggest crop circle weve seen in Britain. The press is calling it mother of all circles. Its enormous. Its almost a kilometer wide. There are 400 circles. This circle appeared yesterday morning. The day before that it wasnt there. Experts said that it takes several days to make a circle like this. It is impossible for people to make something like this. This might be the work of strange forces. II. Listen to the text and decide if the given statements are true (T) or false (F). It happened on 21 November 1990. Anna Clarke suddenly woke up. It was 3.15 a.m. She could see a bright light outside. She got up, walked to the window, and looked out. There was a strange object like a huge wheel above the garden. At the centre of the wheel was a bright white light. The light started to move closer. Anna wanted to run away, but she couldnt move. Then she heard a voice inside her head. It said: Dont worry. Follow the light. The light pulled her downstairs and through the front door. When she was outside, the light pulled her up into the wheel.
