2. What do children benefit from the joining hands of ASEAN Member States?

Text A

ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, was established in 1967. Among many purposes, it aims to facilitate the economic development and sociocultural integration of its members. Since 1990s, with the joining hands of ASEAN Member States, child poverty has dramatically decreased. There have also been advances in healthcare, access to clean water, and hygiene standards for children. More children are attending primary and secondary school and have access to technology and the Internet. Countries in the region also do their best to protect their children from violence and child abuse.

Text B

Despite recent progress in improving children's general well-being in Southeast Asia, there's a lot more you can do to help underprivileged children in this region. You can come to Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand, Việt Nam, or other countries and reach out to the needy children. Helping a young child learn a new skill gives them more opportunities in the future. As a volunteer, you can help them in a variety of settings, including community centres, after-school programs, and food programs. Most programs don't require prior experience, so all you need is just a helping hand and a kind heart!

In 2050, underprivileged children throughout the country will be given access to quality education and nutrition.

As a small country in the Southeast Asia, Brunei has also made a lot of progress in protecting children's rights. Free education is provided to children in the first nine years of schooling.

PAYING IT FORWARD

This week's lead article comes from journalist Amy Randall who tells us why she would like to live in a kinder society and explains the benefits of 'paying it forward'.

In today's 'cynical world, it's often difficult to give and accept kindness. The smallest acts of kindness are often met with suspicion, and yet there is plenty of evidence to suggest that being kind can make you healthier and happier.

So what sort of acts of kindness am I talking about? They can be big gestures, or just small everyday things that will make people smile. At one end of the scale, an anonymous person might pay for someone's expensive operation without expecting a thank-you. At the other, there are the small gestures which might seem ³trivial, but are often extremely welcome.

One example of this is the story of a twelve-year-old boy who found a stranger's phone on a train. When he contacted the owner, she was so impressed by his honesty, that she offered a small reward. He didn't accept the money, but he wrote a note and sent it with the returned phone. In the note he said that he didn't want the money, he just wanted the woman to do something nice for someone else.

This kind of gesture is known as 'paying it forward'. The idea is that if you do a good deed for someone but ask for nothing in return, they will then do a good deed for someone else, and kindness will "multiply and create a huge wave of good feeling across the globe.

There are many benefits to being kind. Giving to others can make you feel more connected to other people and increase your sense of purpose in life.

4. Read the text again and choose the correct option, A, B, C or D.

(Đọc văn bản một lần nữa và chọn phương án đúng A, B, C hoặc D.)

1. According to the journalist, in our modern society, being kind

A. is not very difficult to do.

B. can make a person happy.

C. can result in high appreciation.

D. can lead to public acceptance.

2. What is NOT mentioned as a good act of kindness?

A. making someone smile.

B. secretly supporting someone financially

C. giving back the lost property

D. offering help to elderly people

3. A woman who lost her phone on the train

A. accepted money the boy offered her.

B. asked the boy to do an act of kindness.

C. wanted to send the boy some money.

D gave back the phone to the twelve-year- old boy.

An opinion essay

(Bài luận nêu ý kiến)

1. Read the news report and discuss the questions.

(Đọc báo cáo tin tức và thảo luận các câu hỏi.)

1. What is your opinion of the politician's comments?

2. Do you know anyone who you think is addicted to the Internet?

2. After a class discussion on this news item, Minh wrote an opinion essay. Read the essay. Do you agree with the points he makes?

(Sau một cuộc thảo luận trong lớp về mẩu tin này, Minh đã viết một bài luận. Đọc bài luận. Bạn có đồng ý với những điểm anh ấy đưa ra không?)

It is not unusual for older generations, like the politician, to criticise younger people for their overuse of the Internet and their sedentary lifestyle. In my view, their comments about how young people live seem to be unfair.

To begin with, I believe not all young people are addicted to the Internet. Many youngsters communicate and share interests online, but most of us do not spend all our free time there. For example, my friends and I regularly meet and spend time doing and talking about the things we enjoy. In other words, we have real lives.

Next, as far as I am concerned, most young people are not lazy. Many of us have social lives which include a range of sports, hobbies and interests. Moreover, plenty of these activities involve spending time with friends and making the most of our beautiful country. Put another way, we are too busy to be lazy.

In summary, I do not think the politician who made these comments understands today's young people. I think he should visit some local schools, talk to some teenagers and find out what their lives are really like.

3.  Complete the list below with the highlighted linkers in Minh's essay.

FOR

In my opinion, there are a lot of ¹advantages to doing voluntary work. ²______ benefit is that it makes people think about other people who are less fortunate than they are. What I ³______ is that if you do voluntary work, you will understand the problems that exist in society. Another ⁴______ of doing voluntary work is that you become a better person - less selfish and more generous.

AGAINST

First of all, I agree that there are a lot of advantages to doing voluntary work, but I think there are ⁵______ too. One of the ⁶______ disadvantages of voluntary work is that it can take up a lot of time. What I mean is, voluntary work could stop you helping your own family or friends, or take time away from your studies. ⁷______ disadvantage of voluntary work is that you don't earn money, so you are still dependent on your parents for everything. To be ⁸______ I think we should learn to be independent from our parents as soon as possible.

Soon, Nigel found ways to help others too: 'I noticed that many homeless people have dogs for company because they get lonely living by ⁴ _____. The owners love their dogs but they have problems getting food for them.' Nigel arranged for donations of dog food to be collected outside a supermarket and then distributed among the homeless. Does Nigel really expect nothing in return for his efforts? 'Helping other people is a reward in itself,' he said. 'I'm happy to help other people and truly believe that we should all help ⁵ _____.  Maybe one day when I need help, somebody will be there for me.'

(Đọc nhanh bài luận và quyết định xem học sinh đã trả lời câu hỏi nào.)

Like many people, I was raised by both my parents. As far as I'm concerned ¹_______ men and women may influence their children differently, but it is incorrect to suggest that women are better parents than men.

First of all ²_______, the physical connection between mother and child is often stronger than with the father. However, in my view ³_______, this does not mean she is a better parent. For instance, fathers who hold and bathe their babies also develop strong physical bonds with them. In addition ⁴_______, many babies are bottle-fed meaning that a father can feed his child just as well as a mother.

Next, I would like to point out that although women often spend more time with young children, this does not necessarily make them better parents. For example ⁵_______, if the father stayed at home, he could look after the child just as well as his partner.

Finally ⁶_______, both parents can be good role models. Girls will probably learn more about being female from their mother, but the opposite is also true. In other words ⁷_______, boys will probably learn more about being male from their father. In addition, it is important to teach children to be good people, regardless of their gender, and men and women are equally able to do this.

In summary ⁸_______, I think men and women are equally good at being parents, and I also believe that the ideal approach for parents and children is for partners to share the responsibility for raising a family.

2 Do children really need both a mother and a father to bring them up? ☐
