II. READING

The Shichi-go-san Festival

Shichi-go-san is a Japanese festival. The Japanese celebrate it on 15 November every

year. This is because people believe it is a day of good luck for all Japanese people.

Shichi-go-san means “seven-five-three” and the festival is for children who are seven,
five and three. The Japanese think these ages are very important years. Japanese parents
celebrate Shichi-go-san as their boys turn three and five and their girls turn three and
seven.
At the age of seven, a girl wears obi - the piece of cloth worn round the waist over the
kimono - for the first time. At the age of five, a boy wears his first hakama pants – the
pants that Samurai wore in the past - in public. The age of three is important for the
Japanese too.They think it is time children can let their hair grow.

On this day, children often dress up like the adults in the ancient times and pretend to be
grown up themselves.

2. Read about traffic problems in two cities. Match the city with its problem.

A. Ho Chi Minh City

B. Bangkok
In Ho Chi Minh City, it is not strange to see the sight of a street that is crowded with
vehicles. People cannot move and their health is affected by polluted air from exhausted
fumes. What are the reasons? The citizens in the city use many personal vehicles to go
from one place to another. They aren't used to transporting by public transports. May be
because the bus drivers are careless, impolite to them or the taxi fare is too high for some
people.

Bangkok is world renowned for its terrible traffic problems, so getting around on the
roads is a bit of a nightmare. In my opinion, there are 3 main causes of Bangkok traffic
jams. First, the quality of public transportation is low. Bus is of low quality and causes
congestion. Second, the BTS and MRT are not enough for users. Finally, the most
important cause of traffic jam is car accidents. Bad bus drivers cause accidents frequently
and make the road stuck for hours.

PROBLEMS
1. It has low quality public transport.
2. It costs a lot to go by taxi.
3. There are not enough MRTs for its inhabitants.
4. Its citizens use a lot of personal vehicles.
5. There is a high frequency of accidents.

first. Use the word in the brackets. You do not need to change the word. Write NO

TASK 1. Listen to Professor Galton talking about the advantages and disadvantages
of solar energy. Fill each of the gaps in the notes with ONE word. You will listen
TWICE.

Now listen and fill the gaps.//

Well, the benefits of this source of energy are obvious. First, solar energy is free and
inexhaustible… at least until the sun runs out in billions of years. Second, solar power
does not cause pollution. It is a really clean source of energy. Third, solar energy can be
used to create electricity in remote areas. It is very expensive to get electricity lines there.

However, the problem is that solar power can only be produced during the daytime and
when it is sunny. So in countries like the UK, solar energy can be an unreliable source.
Moreover, the cost of installation is not low at all.

Now listen and circle T or F.

Someone really should do something about the traffic. It’s terrible. It’s getting worse
every day. There are so many cars on the roads these days. It’s a nightmare driving in the
city. Bumper to bumper even at midnight. I don’t know where all this traffic came from.
The answer must be to get better public transport. Let people take the train or bus. People
need to leave their cars at home. The roads are too dangerous. And then there’s the
pollution. It’s disgusting outside sometimes. You feel like you’re breathing pure fumes.
We need to get rid of these traffic jams so we can move and breathe more easily.

My invention is a flying car. Since I saw Back to the Future, I have always wanted to
own a flying car. Well, it looks just like a normal car with no wings. It can fly because it
has a special engine that runs by solar energy. It does not need a runway to take-off,
either. It can run on roads and of course it can fly on air, too. I will not have to worry
about traffic jams. That is why it will be popular to everyone.
