Unit 1: FRIENDSHIP

Lan’s Talk

My best friend is Ha. We’ve been friends for a long time. We used to live in Nguyen Cong Tru Residential in Hanoi. Her family moved to Haiphong in 1985. It is said that Haiphong people are cold, but Ha is really, really friendly. I started to get to know her when I was going on a two-day trip to Do Son last year and I didn’t know anybody there. I gave Ha a ring and she was so friendly, she said, “Oh, I’ll come to visit you.” So she rode on her motorbike to Do Son and twenty minutes later she was there. She stayed with me for two days. She happened to know a lot of people there, so she introduced me around, and we’ve been best friends ever since.

Long’s Talk

My best friend is Minh. We met in college. I was there singing and Minh was a guitarist. So we worked together a lot. Minh has a great sense of humour, he’s very, very funny, and that’s one of my favourite things about him. And over the years, we have been through good times and bad times with each other, and that’s one of the things I like best about him. And we have a lot of the same interests. We like to go to plays and movies together. But when we’re going through a rough time, he’s really a good friend, and he’s a very good listener, and he always helped me through.

Unit 2: PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

Unforgettable Experiences

Interviewer: This is Radio 3. In our “Unforgettable Experiences” programme tonight we talk to Christina, a successful businesswoman. Hello Christina, welcome to our programme.

Christina:     Hello and thank you! It’s nice being with you tonight.

Interviewer: Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorable experience in your life?

Christina:    Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house burned down.

Interviewer: Really? How did it happen?

Christina:     The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove.

Interviewer: What were you doing at that time?

Christina:    I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by walls of fire.

Interviewer: That’s terrible! How did you escape?

Christina:    I was terrified. Then I heard my mother’s voice calling my name. I rushed to her. She carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn.

Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way?

Christina:    Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped me grow up.

Interviewer: What do you mean?

Christina:   Well, before the fire, I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how small my room was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I didn’t really need my odd things. I just needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes anytime, but a family can never be replaced.

Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you some thing, too.

Christina:    Exactly. It taught me to appreciate my family more than things.

Unit 3: A PARTY

Mai is my neighbor. She turned 16 recently and her parents held a birthday party for her. I was one of those invited.

The party began at about three in the afternoon. There were about twenty of us gathering in Mai’s house. She didn’t like having the party at a restaurant because it is noisy and expensive.

We gave presents to Mai and she happily opened them. It must really be exciting to receive all those presents. After that Mai’s mother served us soft drinks and biscuits. We then listened to music and played cards. The winners were given prizes. At about four thirty Mai’s mother brought out the birthday cake. It was beautifully decorated with pink and white icing. Sixteen colourful candles sat in the middles of the cake. We all clapped our hands eagerly and sang “Happy Birthday” as she blew out the candles and cut the cake. We helped ourselves to slices of the delicious cake and sang all the songs that we knew.

Finally at about six in the evening the party came to an end. We were all tired but happy. The parents of other children came to collect them by motorbikes. I helped Mai and her mother clean up the mess we had made. After that I walked home, which was only three doors away.

Unit 4: VOLUNTEER WORK

Spring School is an informal school. It provides classes to disadvantaged children in HCM City. Around 30 street children live and study at the school and about 250 children with special difficulties from District 1 regularly attend classes.

The Organisation for educational development co-operated with Spring School to set up English classes in 1998. Dance, theatre, singing and folk music classes were set up a year later. Children from these classes participate in fundraising performances. They raise money to continue their English and Performance Arts classes.

Spring School requires volunteers to help organise their fundraising dinner held annually in June. This is an exciting night in which children dance, sing and play music at one of the largest hotels in HCM City. They also need foreign volunteers to contact sponsors and help to expand the school activities. Volunteers are required from February until July to help organise these events.

It is hoped that more schools like Spring School will soon be found in other cities in Vietnam.

Unit 5: ILLITARACY

In an informal survey carried out in Perth, western of Australia, students were asked to give their views on what makes an effective school. 80 per cent of the students felt that mutual respect in the classroom was essential learning to take place. This implied that students should be treated as individuals with both their strengths and their weaknesses. 60 per cent of the students felt they should be encouraged to set realistic goals for their learning, and to have positive attitudes towards themselves and others.

About 55 per cent of the students expected their teachers to be motivated and interested in what they were doing; this would then reflect in their performance of the students. Nearly all the students believed that learning should be centered on important life skills such as communication, building self-respect and self-confidence, the ability to learn from failure, and time management, suited to the maturity of the students concerned.

One hundred per cent of the students felt that the social side of school was as important as academic activities. The older students felt that they should be allowed to give some input school decision making a direct effect on students.
