Bài LISTENING 3.3 của lớp E37:
SECTION 1
JOAN: Right... let s try and get it sorted out today so we don t have it hanging over us. OK?
PETER: Good idea. I''ll take notes.
JOAN: First thing . numbers... have we got anything definite?
PETER: Well.. . I''ve been working it out and I think 40 to 43.
JOAN: Shall we put 45 to be on the safe side? Example
PETER: Yep, fine.
JOAN: Dates ... well. That''s straightforward.
PETER: The last working day before Christmas ... which is...
JOAN: . which is December the 21 st.
PETER: . which is going to be pretty difficult to book at Christmas so we''d better think of
two or three places just to be on the safe side.
JOAN: Well, last year''s was hopeless.
PETER: The Red Lion, wasn''t it?
JOAN: Yep. We ought to go for something more expensive, cos you .
PETER: . you gets what you pay for.
JOAN: That new Indian restaurant in Wetherfield is supposed to be excellent... the Raj doot. Qi
PETER: How do you spell that?
JOAN: R-A-J-D-O-O-T.
PETER: But it''s bound to be packed.
JOAN: Well, let''s put that down as the first choice and have some back-ups. What about the Q2
Park View Hotel as a second choice?
PETER: Yes, that''s always reliable. Park View Hotel.
JOAN: And the London Arms in case. Q3
PETER: London Arms .
JOAN: I''ll call them now if you want.
PETER: No. I''ll do it, Joan. You''re really busy. Have you got the numbers?
JOAN: Not for the Rajdoot, but... right... Park View Hotel: 777192 and ... London Arms: Q4
208657.
PETER: Great. Before I ring, we''d better just make sure they''re within the price range.
JOAN: Up to £15 a head?
PETER: I think you''ll find some people won''t be able to go that high.
JOAN: Well, you can''t get anything decent under £10.
PETER: OK. We''ll say £12?
JOAN: OK.
PETER: And we''d better make sure there''s good vegetarian food.
JOAN: And a non-smoking section! You know what the boss is like. Q5
PETER: Don''t remind me. I''ll let you know as soon as I get anything.
PETER: Good news. 1 found Rajdoot''s number straight away and they can fit us in. Their
Christmas menu sounds great. JOAN: What is it?
PETER: French onion soup or fruit juice. JOAN: Uh-huh.
PETER: Roast dinner or lentil curry .. . sounds ordinary but my friend said it was really Q6
tasty.
JOAN: Umm ... lentil curry ... that''s unusual.
PETER: Then for dessert there''s tra***ional plum pudding or apple pie, plus coffee. JOAN: That sounds really good for £12. Did you book it?
PETER: Well, I said I''d check with the staff first. But they did say they''d hold the booking Q7
until next Wednesday anyway. Oh, and if we go ahead, they''d like a £50 deposit.
JOAN: 50 is normal. that''s fine.
PETER: And they want a letter.
JOAN: Right... to confirm.
PETER: And they say with such large numbers we have to choose the menu in advance. Q8
JOAN: That won''t be a problem. I''ll put up a notice with details of the restaurant and the
menu. When did you say they wanted confirmation by?
PETER: It was . let''s see . the 4th of November. Q9
JOAN: Where do you think I should put up the notice? Where everyone''s guaranteed to
see it.
PETER: On the cafe noticeboard I should think.
JOAN: Hardly anyone looks at that.
PETER: Well, the Newsletter is probably your best bet. Q10
JOAN: Good idea. I''ll go and do that now.

SECTION 2
TUTOR: . So, I''ll hand over now to Julie Brooks.
JULIE Thank you. Welcome to the Sports Centre. It''s good to see that there are
BROOKS: so many people wanting to find out about our sports facilities. First of all,
membership. All students at the college are entitled to become members of the Sports Centre, for an annual fee of £9.50. To register with us and get your membership card, you need to come to reception, between 2 and 6 pm, Monday to Thursday. I''m afraid we can''t register new members on Friday, so it''s Monday to Thursday, 2 to 6, at reception. Now, there are three things that you must remember to bring with you when you come to register; they are: your Union card, a recent passport-sized photograph of yourself, and the fee. It doesn''t matter whether you bring cash or a cheque. We can''t issue your card unless you bring all three; so, don''t forget: your Union card, passport photo and fee. Then once you have got your sports card, you will need to bring it with you whenever you come to book or use any Sports Centre facilities.

Booking over the phone is not allowed, so you have to come here in
person, with your card, when you want to book. Our opening hours seem
to get longer every year. We are now open from 9am to 10pm on Q16
weekdays and from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays. For those of you who are
up and about early in the morning, we are introducing a 50 per cent
''morning discount'' this year. This is because the facilities tended to be
under-used in the mornings last year. It means that all the sessions will be
half-price between 9am and 12 noon on weekdays.
So, what exactly are the facilities? What sports can you play here? Well,
this room we are in at the moment is called the Main Hall, and it''s used
mainly for team sports such as football, volleyball and basketball, but also
for badminton and aerobics. On the other side of the reception area there is Q17/Q18
the dance studio; this provides a smaller, more intimate space, which we
use for ballet, modern dance and martial arts - not at the same time, of
course. Then in a separate building, which you may have noticed on your
way here . . . it''s on the other side of the car park . . . there are the squash Q19/Q20
courts (six of them), and at the far end of the building a fitness room. This
is our newest facility, only completed in the Spring, but it is already
proving to be one of the most popular. As well as all these facilities
available here on the campus, we also have an arrangement with the local
tennis club, which is only two miles away, entitling our students to use
their courts on weekday mornings in the Summer. So, I think that there
should be something here for everybody, and I hope to see all of you at the
Centre, making use of the facilities. If, in the course of the year, you have
any suggestions as to how the service we provide might be improved or its
appeal widened, I''ll be interested to hear from you.
JOHN BROWN: Good morning, Mrs Collins. I just wondered if you could help me with this entry form for the Young Electronic Engineer competition.
MARY COLLINS: Hello, John. Oh you''ve made the jigsaw for blind children, with the bleeper.
JOHN BROWN: When they put a piece in correctly, that''s right. MARY COLLINS: OK, let''s have a look at the form.
JOHN BROWN: Right, thanks. I''ve never filled in one of these before, so ...
MARY COLLINS: Well, let''s just do it in pencil first. So, name of designers .. .
IOHN BROWN: Well, Ann helped me with some of the electronics work.
MARY COLLINS: Then you must put her name in as well. Right.. . Ann Ray. JOHN BROWN: Sorry. It''s ANNE and her surname is spelt R-E-A.
MARY COLLINS: Good start! OK . REA. And age is easy. You''re both 16. What have you
called the design? Keep it short. JOHN BROWN: What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped? MARY COLLINS: Too long. Just say blind puzzle, that''ll do.

supply? Is it mains operated? JOHN BROWN: No it isn''t, it''s actually battery. MARY COLLINS: OK, write battery.
JOHN BROWN: Fine, OK. It''s the next bit that I''m really not sure what to put. MARY COLLINS: Well, special features means, what is really new about this, you know,
suitable for the group you made it for. JOHN BROWN: Well, it''s safe for children. MARY COLLINS: That''s fine. Put that in. JOHN BROWN: OK, and of course we think it''s educational. MARY COLLINS: There you are, you''ve done it. Anything else? JOHN BROWN: Well, I think the price is good. MARY COLLINS: That''s probably the most important factor. JOHN BROWN: OK ... cheap price.
MARY COLLINS: Which brings us on to the next bit. What''s the cost?
JOHN BROWN: Well, the pieces we made out of old wood . they cost, ooh, $5.
MARY COLLINS: And the electrics?
JOHN BROWN: They were more expensive . say, $9.50. Brilliant. Now what do they
mean by other comments? MARY COLLINS: It''s just a chance for you to say anything about the equipment, and
problems you envisage. JOHN BROWN: Well, we would really like help with making plastic instead of wooden
pieces.
MARY COLLINS: Well, put something like, need help to make plastic pieces. JOHN BROWN: OK. And the other thing is, we''d like to develop a range of sizes. MARY COLLINS: That''s fine, then, just put that. And the last bit is, when will you send the equipment?
JOHN BROWN: Well, we''ve got a lot of work on at the moment and we want to get it as
good as we can. MARY COLLINS: Well, say 25 June? JOHN BROWN: Can''t we make it later?
MARY COLLINS: Well, the last date is 1 July. Why not say that? JOHN BROWN: OK, that''s what I''ll put. MARY COLLINS: So that''s the lot!
JOHN BROWN: That''s brilliant. Thanks very much, Mrs Collins. I''ll send it off straightaway.
MARY COLLINS: Glad to be of help. Very best of luck to you both. JOHN BROWN: Thanks, bye. MARY COLLINS: Bye

SECTION 4
PAULA: Today I''d like to introduce Ted Hunter, who used to rear sheep and poultry but who is here to tell us about a rather unusual type of livestock that he''s been concentrating on in the last few years. Ted Hunter is a member of the Domesticated Ostrich Farming Association, and is here to tell us about the possibilities of breeding and rearing these birds here in this country.
TED: Thank you, Paula. When you look at international restaurant menus and
supermarkets they all tend to feature the same range of meats - beef, lamb,
chicken, pork, that sort of thing. But people are always interested in something
different and we''re now finding that farming can bring new types of meat to our
tables. The kangaroo is one animal that''s now being farmed for its meat and eaten
outside Australia, where it comes from. It looks and tastes rather like rabbit, Q31
though it''s slightly darker in colour, but it is rather tough, so that''s a problem for Q32
some people. Crocodiles are also being farmed for their meat. This is rather like
chicken, pale and tender, and it''s getting quite fashionable. Some people also find
it''s rather fatty, but I think it makes a really tasty sandwich. Now a third type of
meat becoming increasingly available, and the one that I think is by far the nicest
of the three, is ostrich, which most people say has a similar taste and texture to Q33
beef. However, it''s much better for you than beef, as we''ll see later. Most people
think of ostriches as wild animals, but in fact ostriches have been farmed in South
Africa since around 1860. At first they were produced for their feathers. In Africa Q34
they were used for tribal ceremonial dress and they were also exported to Europe
and America where they were made into ladies'' fans and used for decorating hats. Q35
Later, feather fans and big. decorated hats went out of fashion but ostriches were
still bred, this time for their hide. This can be treated to produce about half a Q36
square metre of leather - very delicate, fine stuff of very good quality. At the
same time, some of the meat was used for biltong - the air-dried strips of meat
popular in South Africa as a sort of fast food. However, recently there''s been
more and more interest in the development of ostrich farming in other parts of the
world, and more people are recognising its value as a food source. Ostrich meat is Q37
slightly higher in protein than beef- and much lower in fats and cholesterol. It
tastes good too. A series of European taste tests found that 82% of people prefer
ostrich to beef. And one ostrich produces a lot of meat - from around 30 to 50 kg,
mostly from the hindquarters of the bird. Farmed ostriches don''t need African
climates, and in fact ostrich farming is now becoming well established in other
parts of the world. However, setting up an ostrich farm isn''t something to embark
on lightly. Mature breeding birds are very expensive - even a fertilised ostrich egg Q38
isn''t cheap so you need quite a bit of capital to begin with. Then the farmer needs
special equipment such as incubators for the eggs. The young chicks are very Q39
dependent on human minders, and need a lot of attention from the people looking
after them. In ad***ion, ostriches can''t be intensively farmed - they need space
and exercise.

farmers can use incubators and hatched chicks are nourished well and protected
from danger, the failure rate on farms is very low indeed and almost all the
fertilised eggs will hatch out into chicks which will in turn reach maturity. This is
very different from the situation in the wild, where the vast majority of chicks will
die or be killed before they grow up into mature ostriches. So it''s possible, once
the initial outlay has been made, for the farmer to be looking at very good profit
margins indeed. Ostrich farming is still in its early days outside Africa but we
hope that ostrich meat will be freely available soon and before long will be as
cheap as beef.

SPEAKING No.7 lớp E40:
PART 1
The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/ her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.
EXAMPLE
LEISURE
? Do you have any hobbies or interests? [What are they?]
Yes, certainly! Computers and movies, are basically all I like, I have other interests and hobbies, but those two are the bulk of them.
? How did you become interested in (whatever hobby / interest the candidate mentions )
I got interested in computer science the moment I heard in my third standard that "Computer is an electronic machine that takes the workload of a few hundred men and finishes it in a matter of few seconds"
? What is there to do in your free time in (candidate?Ts hometown/ village)?
Vietnam has emerged as a very competitive area for sports in Asia. Martial arts are quite common as are a variety of sports such as soccer, football, goldf, running, tennis, and more. Vietnam is also beginning to emerge as a real player in the world of golf with courses from Vungtau to further north up the coast.
While one often gets the impression that life never slows down in Vietnam, the Vietnamese actually display the adage "work hard, play hard" well! Activities range from wonderful amusement parks such as Dem Sen park in Saigon, the Ice House in Saigon with its many hand carved ice sculptures including a very cool indoor ice slide that will delight you especially when the outside temperatures are above 32c! There are fabulous beaches up and down Vietnam''s coast with beaches in Danang being named in the top 20 of the world''s greatest beaches. Phan Thiet, which is only about 3 hours up the coast from Saigon, is world class and there is an abundance of sightseeing there as well as throughout the country that will please even the best traveled. From the incredible Halong Bay in the north to the far reaches of the Mekong, there''s an abundance of leisure activities along with incredible food to keep your energy levels up throughout the country to keep you well pleased with your adventure in Vietnam.
? How do you usually spend your holidays?
I want a romantic holiday with my family so I often consider going to the sea and enjoy my holiday under the sun.
? Is there anywhere you would particularly like to visit? [Why?]
I am interested in Nha Trang. Nha Trang is a coastal city and capital of Khánh Hòa province, on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It is bounded on the North by Ninh Hoà district, on the East by the South China Sea, on the South by Cam Ranh town and on the West by Diên Khánh district.
Nha Trang is well known for its pristine beaches and excellent scuba diving and is fast becoming a popular destination
PART 2
You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes.
You have one minute to think about what you?Tre going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
Describe a river, lake or sea which you like.
You should say:
What the river, lake or sea is called
Where it is
What the land near it is like
And explain why you like this river, lake or sea.
It is said that when visiting Hanoi, if the visitor does not see the Sword Lake, then they would not have actually been in Hanoi. The lake is an endless topic and inspiration for painters, poets, writers, music composers, etc, and innumerable works about the lake have been produced.
I was frequently taken there by my father when I was a child. It has always left a deep impression on me.
After ten years of hard fighting (1418 - 1428), the Lam Son insurrectionists led by Le Loi swept the foreign invaders out of the country of Dai Viet (Great Viet), ending the Mings 20-year domination over the Viet people. Le Loi became a national hero, proclaiming himself kings, called Le Thai To and establishing his capital in Thang Long
On a beautiful afternoon, the king and his entourage took a dragon-shaped boat for sight-seeing on Luc Thuy (Green Water) Lake, which was located in the centre of Thang Long Capital (present-day Hanoi). As the boat was gliding on the lake, suddenly there was a great wave and on top of the wave, the Golden Tortoise Genie appeared, telling the king: "Your Majesty, the great work is completed. Would you please return the sacred sword to the King of the Sea?".
The precious sword was formerly lent to Le Loi by the King of the Sea and was always beside him throughout his battles and helped him win over the Ming invaders. At the time the Tortoise Genie spoke, the sword hung at the Kings waist. It then moved out of the scabbard and flew towards the Genie. The Genie kept the sword in his mouth and dived under the water and bright lightning flashed up to the sky. Since then, Luc Thuy Lake has been called the Restored Sword Lake or the Sword ake for short.
The Sword Lake is not only a historical site but also a beauty-spot of the capital. When visiting Hanoi, Ludemis, a Greek poet, exclaimed: The Sword Lake - An emerald jewel set in the heart of the city, With the Red River as a silk ribbon around.
The Sword Lake is really an emerald jewel of Hanoi. For generations, the Vietnamese believed that deep in the green water of the Sword Lake, there is a sacred sword of their ancestors, which is carefully safeguarded by the golden tortoise. When the weather changes, the tortoise emerges on the water surface to take a sun bath, seeming to prove his existence and remind the young generation of their national history of defending their country from foreign invaders.
No.8:
PART 1
The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/ her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.
EXAMPLE
YOUR FAVORITE PLACE
? What place do you most like to visit?
There are several interesting places in Ha Noi City but the Thu Le Zoo is considered as one of the best.
? How often do you visit this place?
On holidays and weekends, I sometimes take my kid there. It is a good place for people of all ages.

? Why do you like it so much?
As above, I take my kid there. He likes to see wild animals such as tigers, elephants, crocodiles, bears and snakes. He can also find a botanical garden there with various kinds of trees and flowers, some of which are rare and valuable.
? Is it popular with many other people?
Many city people and tourists visit the zoo. Elderly people go to the zoo mostly to enjoy its fresh air and beautiful landscape. It is also an ideal place for young people to have their picnics.
? Has it changed very much since you first went there? [In what way?]
Currently, the zoo is always crowded with people, some of whom are not good ones, including thief, which makes it sometimes dangerous for us to enjoy our free time.

PART 2
You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes.
You have one minute to think about what you?Tre going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
Describe a useful website you have visited.
You should say:
What the website was
How you found the address for this website
What the website contained
And explain why it was useful to you.
I often refer to the website www. Vnexpress. Net to be updated with news. This is a very popular e ?" newspaper for all Vietnamese. VnExpress is the first electronic newspaper in Vietnam reported no paper version. The more than 10 electronic newspaper in Vietnam, VnExpress always have access to the largest number of Vietnam , which is located in the top 200 most visited website in the world. Vnexpress is always updated with recent daily news, in all fields, from politics, social, life to sports? It is so useful to my job that I set it as my home page. Iam particularly interested in the category ?oReaders write? where I can share my ideas with others in the same circumstances or get discussions.
