One of the ways we assess students on this course is to give them a level related to the Common European Framework (CEFR). This framework is now being used in 16 universities in Vietnam. The goal of this course is for students to reach at least B1 or B2 if you want to progress to IELTS (see attachment below). This means you are an independent user of English. You are assessed throughout the course in every lesson and you will be required to produce an e-portfolio showing your best work (a website). I will explain how to do this later in the course. For now, you should start to keep a journal of your learning here. This should reflect what you have learned. Please write about your reflections on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Feelings about what you have learned today The role of the CRC and Vietnam Something new and interesting that you learned today and that you didn't know before. Please write150-200 words and check your work BEFORE you turn it in.

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
28. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be
________.
A. to know when you hand it in
B. to understand it and its requirements
C. to know how long it takes to complete it

29. If you have any free time left at school, you should ________.
A. use it to do your homework in the library
B. spend time with your friends
C. use it to understand the assignment
D. use it to make your day planner
30. When students need some help, they should ________.
A. never ask other teachers for help
B. always turn to their own teachers for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
D. go to their teachers or other teachers teaching the same subject
31. The main idea of the first three paragraphs is ________.
A. to get help when you need it
B. to do homework immediately
C. to create a homework plan
D. to ask your teachers for more explanation
32. According to the passage, all of the following are correct EXCEPT that ________.
A. it takes a student more than three hours a night if there is much homework

C. you only do your homework at home between 1 and 3 hours a night
D. it is very useful to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class

Rural life is a pipe dream for many city people today. To what extend do you agree or disagree wit the above statement.
For many people, living in a city bores to them. So they tend to desire to inhabit in a secluded area with fresh air and picturesque views.
Firstly, the reasons for who don’t want to live in such a polluted city are a lot. The number of workload is so much. They might work overtime to make their livings or every morning the congestion of the traffic also make them feel tired. Especially, the criminal situation has gone up considerably.
Secondly, living in a countryside also has its own disadvantages. For instance, sometime, the electricity supply might fail. If you were bited a snake whose poison is very dangerous just only treated by some hospitals in cities, you might died after few minutes. It’s likely that the worst thing about the countryside is the educational conditions. In here, well-qualified teachers might not as more as ones in the city. The modern facilities tend to be non-existent.
In conclusion, neither living in the city nor the countryside is better than the other. The enjoyment depends on people and their favorites. We can’t put in comparison with them.
