UNIT 9 FESTIVALS Talk about the festival you know
THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving (also called Turkey Day) is a seasonal holiday held annually to give thanks to God for successful harvests. In the USA the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October because the harvest there generally ends earlier.
Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast among family and friends. Not only adults but children take part in the food preparation.
Traditional foods are turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. After the feast people often do some other activities. Some like to go for a walk. Some take naps. Others play board or card games together. A lot of people take this opportunity to help the less fortunate. They volunteer to cook and serve food to homeless people, spend time with sick people in hospitals or help a needy family.
TET
All of the special holidays in my country, I like Tet the most. Tet is an occasion to everyone get together in warm atmosphere. Before Tet holiday, Everyone prepares many things and decorates their house. I plant a lot of flowers in front of my house and buy many things such as clothes, foods ...
Besides, most of the streets also are decorated beautifully with colorful lights and flowers. During Tet, I spends more time on visiting my relatives, friends and colleagues. Especially, I give to each other the best wishes for the new year. Tet is an opportunity for children receive lucky money. There is a funny thing that people try to avoid argument or saying any bad things at Tet. I loveTet holiday!
TET HOLIDAY FLOWER FESTIVAL
I used to attend the Tet holiday flower festival . It’s called Nguyen Hue Flower street festival. It is held in Nguyen Hue street in district 1, HCM city. It takes place every Tet Holiday for 1 week. It is celebrated by HCM People’s committee . They display and decorate the street with many kinds of flowers and lights. Many people come there to enjoy the beautiful flowers and take pictures.
Elephant race 
Elephant race is a race between elephants that are ridden by their owners, but actually it’s a celebration of elephants. It is normally held in March. It’s always held in Daklak.The location can change though – sometimes it’s in Don village, sometime near the river. The festival is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to them because elephants are really important , they work really hard for us.
Unit 10 SOURCES OF ENERGY 
What should we do to save energy?
Nowadays, energy is being run out more and more. We need to save energy because nobody of us can lives without energy. We have many ways to save energy in our home. One of those ways is using electricity, water and gas economically, we should turn off the light in room when we go out or in unnecessary situations, avoid wasting water, shut the kitchen stove when stop cooking. Besides, we should use the low light bulbs. We also can use public transport more often 
Unit 11 TRAVELLING IN THE FUTURE 
What means of transport will people travel in the future? 
It is Solar-energy plane. It looks like a normal plane but it has the solar panel on the wings. The panel will catch the sun shine and create the electricity for the plane. It may be a great invention helping to create the energy and protect environment.
 It is flying car. It’s a kind of driverless car and airplane. It has many benefits. With its automated system, the car can avoid traffic. It drives at 300 kph. It has SSS, it’s a sky safety system, it will stop everyone from crashing and it will help them avoid traffic jam. It has four seats, so your family or friends can join the ride.
 It’s a flying motorbike. It looks like a normal motorbike, but it can fly without wings, it will use electricity transferred from solar energy. It can travel fast and work well in bad weather. I think it will be very useful and popular in the future.

Speaking topic Unit 11 Lop 7 thi điểm
Describe a place that you would like to travel to.
You should say:
 - Where you would like to go
 - How you would go there
Who you would go with
Model Answer: 
I had a very close friend in my school level who lives in Singapore (...say a place name...) and I would like to travel to his living place. I have a plan to visit (...say the place name...) whenever I will get holidays for 4-5 days. The friend has invited me to visit his place and in the meantime, he has visited my place twice. So my turn to visit his place has become mandatory. As he is living in a rural area where hills, tea gardens are available, I am sure I will enjoy my visit there.
There are three options to visit the place- bus, train and aeroplane. For me, the aeroplane would be bit expensive and I like traveling by train, so I will take the train to visit there. I have few reasons to visit this particular place.
First of all, this area is famous for its natural beauty and a good number of local and foreign tourists visit this place each year. I would be able to enjoy my stay and live close to nature during my stay there and I want to practice English to native speakers.
Second, I would enjoy my friend's accompany there and as he has already visited my place twice, I feel kind of obliged to visit his living place. Another reason I would like to travel there is to stay away from the busy life and busy city for dew days.
